==Description==
Skills indicate how good you are doing certain actions. The higher your skill, the more successful you are in performing that action. Depending on skills, they also affect the time to complete an action. Skill levels cap at 100 (99,999999)
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.
You may gain skill even failing an action - that depends on skill. For instance, [[lockpicking]] won't raise on failures, but [[carpentry]] will.
Stamina affects skill gain===Parent Skills===Parent skills help the success chance of their sub-skills by a small amount. If you have less than 30 stamina, you will gain half Using sub-skills increases parent skills as much skill. It's recommended to have full stamina when you start an action. Action time also affects skill gain. The longer the actionwell, although bonuses from the more skill you gain for that actiontool (including quality and enchantments) are not applied.
Nutrition also affects ===Characteristics===Skills can have related [[characteristics]]. Raising the skill gainwill automatically raise the characteristic, although at a very low rate. If you have above 60% nutrition you gain a 1%As with other parent skills, or if you have above 70% nutrition you gain increase of a 5% skill bonuscharacteristic 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. At 70% Nutrition you gain that 1% becomes 5%For details on which skills increase which characteristics, see the [[characteristics]] page.
===Characteristics===
Each skill uses a certain [[characteristic]]. Raising the skill will automatically raise the characteristic, although at a very low rate. A high characteristic helps the success chance of all the skills that use that characteristic.

The chance is determined by the character's skill level, the difficulty of the action and, usually, the quality of the tool being used. The amount depends on which skills 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 increase which characteristics, see you can get in one attempt is 1.00 (including a [3x] on the skill and [[characteristicssleep bonus]] page). You may gain skill even failing an action, depending on the action being performed.
=== Skill decay ===There is In most cases you gain much less skill when you have no skill decay. Skill gained can only be lost by [[death|dyingstamina]]left.
===Titles===Some skills 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 also give titles when reaching a certain level. The usual level requirements are 50, 70 and 90. See the [[titles]] page for more detailsmonitor how much gain each action gives.
==='Opening' Skills===
Sometimes creation options won't appear in the list until a skill is 'opened', adding it to your skills pane and increasing it from 0 to 1. You can open a skill by practicing it for the first time. This often means attempting to create an object that uses the skill. Even if you cancel out of the action, the skill will be opened, and the missing creation options (provided you have a minimum percent chance of success at them) will appear.
