| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Experience represents how much a certain dwarf (or other intelligent creature) has learned about a certain subject or profession. It affects proficiency in skills. Precise points in experience are never displayed directly, except in Adventurer mode.
Every experience point earned is associated with a skill. Every time a dwarf uses this skill, experience is gained. When a skill is unused for a while, the skill will become rusty and experience will decrease, eventually permanently.
Most skills give 30 XP per use, smoothing, engraving and mining give 10 XP per use, and military skills are variable, with more XP gained from real combat than from training.
A more skilled dwarf will do work better and faster than an unskilled one. The better work results in higher quality items. The speed of work is most notable in legendary miners, who will barely touch the walls to make them crumble.
