===Skill Training===
Skill can be gained on any tile , but you have to move at least 10 tiles away from the spot of the previous meditationtile that you meditated on previously. A successful meditation is only occurs after completing the two minute meditation timer but you . You will not necessarily gain skill on every timemeditation.
Below 20 meditation skill , there is '''no time limit''' between skill gains. You only have to move 10 tiles between meditations. A popular method is to drop a rug on the first tile and a second rug on the 11th tile of a path and to move between the two rugs. Another one is to patrol the perimeter of an 11x11 box and to meditate on each corner.
Above 20 meditation skill , the chances to gain skill are limited to a few per day:
* First 5 meditations need to be at least 30 minutes apart at least* After your fifth meditation , the wait timer will change from 30 minutes to 3 hours. The message ''You feel that it will take you a while before you are ready to meditate again'' indicates the longer wait time.* Every 24 hours after a server restart , the timers reset to the 30 minute wait.
Example:
: Assume the server was restarted at 12:00 and you start meditating right away. The first 5 meditations can be done at 12:00, 12:30, 13:00, 13:30 and 14:00. The next ones must be at least 3 hours past the previous one and are available at 17:00, 20:00 and 23:00. After getting some [[sleep bonus]] you continue to meditate at 8:00 and 11:00. At 12:00, 24 hours after the server restart the minimum spacing returns to 30 minutes again. The meditation timer resets every day at the same hour that the last server reset was, and you can check when that is by typing /uptime.
You do not lose a chance (nor do you get any meditation skill ) if you meditate before the wait time is up , or if you meditate within 10 tiles of the previous meditation spot. If you are eligible to gain skill (i.e. you waited long enough and moved the 10 tiles) , then you will use up a chance to meditate, and randomly get will have a random chance to gain meditation skill. The ratio of  Your chance at gaining skill gain per tries on a given meditation depends on the quality of your meditation rug, although the type of rug used appears to be irrelevant for skill gain. At lower levels , a ratio of about 50% can be reached. Around 70 meditation skill , the highest ratio has been about 40%. It (These ratios have been reached with a rug in the range of 20-30 quality.)  If you get particularly unlucky, it is possible that you donwon't get gain any skill in one or two days but . However, if the ratio over at least 10-20 tries is way below the listed above examples , then you should try to change changing the quality of the your meditation rug. The listed ratios have been reached with As a general rule of thumb, as you gain skill, you should lower the quality of your meditation rug in to increase the difficulty of the range meditation action and raise your chance of 20-30 qualitya skill tick occurring.
== Path Management and Advancement ==
After the v1.1 patch a new difficulty check was added:
Rolf: it's not a skill requirement per se but there's a difficulty check  Rolf: like level you try to achieve *10 or so  Rolf: increasing meditation skill will increase chances yes
Rumour suggests that a successful enlightenment requires a meditation skill of approximately 75% progress to the actual required level to path up yourself. E.g. around 27 meditating needed to be enlightened to level 7.

''** Minimum time from the start of the path to that level. Doesn`t take server off-line time and skill needed into account.''
 
''***Levels above 16 go on to infinity(ish), with the same requirements of 18 days between. Higher levels reduce to cooldown timers, like Recall home being reduced by 1 hour for each level above 12
If your Meditation skill is higher than current level x 15 the cooldown timer will be halved (e.g. If you have higher than 45 Meditation, the time between level 3 and 4 will be 2.25 days instead of 4.5 days.)
== Additional Bonuses ==
Commonly referred to as === Refresh ===There is a "Refresh tick". Randomly appears small, random chance that your food and water will be filled at the end of a successful meditation, with meditation skill level and rug quality increasing the chance.Your food nutrition and water CCFP values will be filled (Nutrition is unaffected). You will receive a mini skill increase in meditation regardless of if you get a normal skill increase, but it will stack if you do.
