I was just testing one or two things, like crafting with my blacksmith (who isn't GM), and I was wondering if now gaining skills wasn't based on difficulty.

For example, I crafted more than a hundred of daggers ... no gain at all. So I try a gorget to see the difference : 2 gains on 30 gorgets.

I've also noticed I was gaining mining faster while smelting colored ore rathen than iron ore.

I will also try to train my magery to see if there is a difference between casting a magic arrow and casting a lightning (I can't do higher yet ).

Ok now, I may be dreaming and this is just coincidence. But skill gaining depending of difficulty is a good thing ! This might change a lot of things (if it has been implemented).

yeah, making daggers is useless now so if you wanna gain skill you have to try to make harder items.

any idea how to gain cooking? 500 plus small fish as well as steaks and fff with no gains... only at 92.4 should have had at least one gain in there somewhere

i'm cooking 1500 fish steaks at a time and my skill is flying.

i've noticed for me anyways, i gain very little or non at all from small fish.

so are skill gains based on difficulty for everything?

i wanna train some magery but idk whether to use an easy spell or some hard spell for better gains...has anyone tried?

Since Bob put the skill gains back to the T3A level, does this mean that skill gains are no longer based on difficulty?

hopefully ccuz black smithing was friggen impossible lmao

Skill gains are still based on difficulty, i.e. you craft more difficult shit, you have a better chance of gaining skill.

The t3a levels are how slow it goes, and again,t hese will be adjusted as time goes on.

so i made a few bows at the hardest level i could the other day and didn't get a single gain...plus the vendor doesn't buy them :/ any idea why that is?

A lot of skills are very difficult to gain points in. My warrior has 36.0 swordsmanship and I gain maybe 0.2 gains in a hour of hunting. Same with archery. Tactics, anatomy and healing on the other hand gain pretty fast.

My poor dear Dedo who helped instruct me in the secret arts of GMing bowcraft. I feel your pain!

Have you tried going old school like you taught me and simply make a butt-load of shafts/arrows/bolts? Or has the new system made that tactic obsolete? (through your instruction I did GM bowcraft, btw.)

All this talk about bows and such got me thinking. (which is scary in and of itself. heh) Will a bowyer who has a high archery skill make better bows? Also, has anyone crafted an Elven bow lately and tested it in the field?

Also, it would be somewhat cool if bowyers could sell their more advanced wares to NPC vendors.

Rock on, peeps and keep on keepin'.
