− | + | The '''skill''' a person has in an area determines how well that person accomplishes tasks in that area. Skills increase in rank with [[experience]]: every time a person completes a task successfully, the corresponding skill will increase by an amount of experience points (XP). Once the XP reach the amount required for the next level, the rank will increase. | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | The highest skill or skills of a [[dwarf]] determines their [[jobs|profession]]. | |
+ | == Starting a new Skill == | ||
− | + | Dwarven peasants and members of other trades can learn a new skill by having the [[labor]] associated with the skill turned on in their preferences screen. The first task related to their new skill they preform will grant them the "Dabbling" skill level. Dwarves may then advance through the skill levels listed below. | |
− | + | == Skill ranks == | |
− | '' | + | To reach Novice level in any skill requires 500 XP. Reaching each successive level requires an additional 100 XP, 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 it. These 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, where 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 it will happen 1000 XP before their eighth [[attribute]] if they have no other skills -- so when they get eight attributes, they are at Legendary+5. Although skill is capped at Legendary+5, experience is not capped at any level; a dwarf can keep gaining attributes by using a skill that has long since topped out. | ||
