Remove vague/false sentence[edit]
"Once he has achieved "grand master" skill in one of these skills, but not in the others, he will be known by this skill."
In general (I don't know about rangers explicitly) I don't think this is right. I regularly train dwarfs to Legendary as pump operators. Then, I train them as siege operators. They become (Legendary) Engineers once they have enough experience as siege operators. My experience is that the two skill levels have to be ~3 apart. More than that and the dwarf is called by the highest one, less than that and they retain the generic title (Farmer, Administrator, Ranger, etc) I would suggest changing it to remove the sentence. What does it mean anyway? It isn't really specific. --Kwieland 17:27, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
- Dwarves probably get known for a specific skill when their experience in that skill is greater than a certain percentage of all of their experience within the entire profession. Using the cumulative experience values listed on Experience might be useful in determining the actual cutoff points. --Quietust 18:02, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
- Looks good. What you say about experience might be right, I've never tried to test against three things, usually just two. The reword is better, I think.--Kwieland 10:43, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, my fault, I copied it from the 40d info, assuming it didn't change. I checked other v0.31 profession pages and saw the sentence listed there, which made me think someone has already verified it. My bad. --Markus cz 12:16, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think it was true in 40d either, but I have not verified that. I've been looking at it and I can verify if they are two away (proficient to adept, say) then they assume the more general title, I've got to check for three/more.--Kwieland 21:44, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
