===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.

Improving Press 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 usually give more skill drop down to 20 (or remain unchanged if lower than creating actions20); however, you can not raise them above 20 until becoming premium again.

Stamina effects skill gain. If you have low or no stamina, you will gain almost no skill. It's recommended to have full stamina when you start an action. Action time also effects skill gain. The longer the action, the more skill you gain for that action.  ===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.

=== Skill decay Titles===Unused Most skills will start to decay over timecan also give titles when reaching a certain level. People with low skills will hardly notice skill decayThe usual level requirements for a title are 50, 70, 90, while and 100. See the very high skills will have some trouble maintaining their skill level. Skill decay does not kick in within 24 hours of using that skill[[titles]] page. 

Being a citizen of a {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"! scope="row" | [[settlementAlchemy]] can reduce the skill decay. The older the settlement, the smaller the skill decay. The info screen at the token of a village can tell you how much the skill decay reduction of that settlement is.

===Titles=Skill Gain==Some skills can also Most actions give titles when reaching skill in a specific pattern: Each action has a certain levelchance of giving skill. The usual chance is determined by the character's skill level requirements are 50, 70 the 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 90tool enchantments like [[Circle of cunning]]. See  Improving actions will usually give much more skill than creating actions. The maximum skill increase you can get in one attempt is 1.00 (including a [3x] on the skill and [[titlessleep bonus]] page ). You may gain skill even failing an action, depending on the action being performed. In most cases you gain much less skill when you have no [[stamina]] left. 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.  ===Enemy Presence on PVP server===When an enemy player is within your local area for more detailsa while, you will getting warning messages about decreased skillgain until you are outside the enemy's local range. This only applies on PVP servers.  ===Improving for Skill===

Sweet spot improving is a method of improving (imping) quality way over your skill level and that gives double the skill and attribute gain on top of [[Sleep bonus|Sleep Bonus]] and other skill gain bonuses. The formula to find where sweet spot ql starts at is x*0.77+23.
