Miners using Mining skill
I've noticed my miners tend to get legendary in Miner rather than Wrestler while sparring. So not only do they use their picks and Mining skill in combat, they gain XP in that as well. Can anyone confirm? Anydwarf 13:45, 5 May 2008 (EDT)
- I read the Dwarf Fortress forums a while ago, and picks indeed use the mining skill for combat.
Seems like picks are counted as spears with 40% damage reduction ( or atleast I think it was damage ) but have an insane critical rate.
So a legendary miner will be able to hold of a horde of goblins all by himself, provided you can get a civilian to attack and dodge, since civilians are not inclined to attack enemies and do not use armor...

Speed of training in combat and in sparring
One thing I've noticed is that my crossbow dwarves seem to gain experience quicker in combat than in target practice at the archery range. Whilst this might be down to availability of ammunition, maybe experience from sparring isn't worth as much as from the real thing, which would make sense. Extar 11:22, 15 June 2008 (EDT)
