::::Well, the skills and the experience level are clearly displayed as novice, proficient and so on, but i think i have never seen numbers assigned or the term 'rank'. So i was wondering where that comes from, moreso since i don't understand the numbers given in the article. --[[User:Koltom|Koltom]] 14:41, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

:::::The numbers are a numerical representation of skill rank that start at 5 - Dabbling and go up to 25 - Legendary +5. They are only shown when you're starting a new fortress/adventurer and are assigning skills to them. Unless you use certain mods which also display them (some may also start at 0 for Dabbling instead of 5 like the game does. The game starts at 5 in Dabbling so that it costs 5 points to get Novice, another 6 for the next level, etc. Otherwise it'd be too cheap to get the levels.

::Oh ''now'' I get it - you folks have really really decided to consider the '''cost''' for buying a level to be the actual '''level'''? And it never bothered you that there is no level 0 to 4 then? And that not ''having'' a level is level 5? That a dwarf starts every skill at level 5? And that no skill and dabbling, which are clearly 2 different levels, fall toghether in one? And that you pay with '''money''' just the amount shown? --[[User:Koltom|Koltom]] 01:19, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

So where can one read the rank from? --Koltom 17:28, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, this can be found by viewing a dwarf and going to the general tab. It will show a name and then the stat, i.e. proficient grower, and that shows how skilled they are. Check the

Skills page for more info. Shardok 19:51, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

That would be the skill. He was asking about the rank i guess. --Birthright 22:48, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
Please, explain this profound difference between skill ranks and rank. I would love to hear it. Shardok 04:39, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
