===Skill gain=Description ==Your skill-gain is Skills are the highest when basic physical, mental, and magical tasks that your success chance character is 50%able to perform. As skills are used, their values will increase. A lower or higher success chance lowers the amount Higher values in skills indicate a better mastery of that specific skill gained when succeeding. The further away from 50% success chance , and will allow you are, the lower to perform the skill gainmore efficiently and with greater success.

You barely get any skillPress F2 to see your skills. Skills help when you perform actions depending on them. When a new character is created all skills start at 1.0. Like characteristics they are limited to 20 if you don't have premium time. If a character was once premium and then loses premium, their skills will drop down to 20 (or remain unchanged if anylower than 20); however, for failing an actionyou can not raise them above 20 until becoming premium again.

 ===Family skillsParent Skills===Parent skills help the success chance of their sub-skillsby a small amount. SubUsing sub-skills increase the skill amount of the increases parent skill. Some skills also have a ''nephew'' skillas well, which effects their success chance by a small amount. For example, one such skill is [[blades smithing]]. It's nephew skill is [[swords]]. So if you have a high swords skill, you succeed more in creating bladesalthough bonuses from the tool (including quality and enchantments) are not applied.

Each skill uses a certain Skills can have related [[characteristiccharacteristics]]. Raising the skill will automatically raise the characteristic, although at a very low rate. As with other parent skills, increase of a characteristic is not affected by bonuses from the tool (including quality and enchantments). A high characteristic help the success chance of all the skills that use that characteristic.

The higher chance is determined by the character's skill level, the lower difficulty of the action and, usually, the quality of the tool being used. The amount depends on the length of the action timer. If the action timer takes twice as long the gain is twice as high too. The amount is also affected by sleep bonus and tool enchantments like [[Circle of cunning]]. Improving actions will usually give much more skill than creating actions. The maximum skill decay increase you can get in one attempt is 1.00 (including a [3x] on itthe skill and [[sleep bonus]]). You may gain skill even failing an action, depending on the action being performed.

Being a citizen of a In most cases you gain much less skill when you have no [[settlementstamina]] can reduce the skill decay. The older the settlement, the smaller the skill decayleft.

For effectively tracking skill gain it is helpful to set the ''Skillgain tab updates'' in the Wurm game settings to ''always''. That way you can monitor how much gain each action gives.  ===TitlesEnemy Presence on PVP server===Some skills can also give titles when reaching When an enemy player is within your local area for a certain levelwhile, you will getting warning messages about decreased skillgain until you are outside the enemy's local range.
