As soon as a dwarf gets even 1 point of experience in a skill from completing just one [[job]], they attain '''Dabbling''' rank in that skill.  This can be important for [[strange mood]]s.

To reach '''Novice''' level in any skill requires 500 XP. Reaching each successive level requires 500 plus an additional 100 XP per additional rank, so to go from '''Novice''' to '''''(no label)''''' requires 600 XP; '''''(no label)''''' to '''Competent''' requires 700 XP, and so on. The following figures are the ''cumulative'' XP needed to go from unskilled to any given skill level.

Although '''[[Legendary]]''' is the highest skill level displayed, there are actually five skill levels above that.  Any higher skill levels are known to have an effect on [[item quality]]; a Legendary dwarf will make [[masterpiece]] items 15% of the time, on average, whereas a Legendary+5 dwarf will make masterpieces 27% of the time (and exceptional items the other 73% of the time).  Skill beyond Legendary+5 does not increase the probability of creating a masterpiece item.

You can't find out exactly when a dwarf gets to Legendary+5, but if they have no other skills it will happen 1000 XP before their eighth [[attribute]] -- so when they get eight attributes, they are past Legendary+5.  Although skill is capped at Legendary+5, experience is not capped at any level; a dwarf can keep gaining [[attribute]]s by using a skill that has long since topped out.
