After gaining sufficient experience the dwarf's skill level will advance and they will earn a new title describing their increased ability to use that skill. The effects of this experience gain vary from skill to skill -- For some skills the dwarf will complete their work faster, for others the dwarf will produce a higher quality product, and for a small number of skills the gain will have no effect. |

Experience can only be lost when a dwarf goes many months without using a skill, resulting in the skill becoming [[rusty]].
