Skill Gain
Skill gain is purposefully kept lower than some Wurm Unlimited servers (3x) to encourage specialization and trade with other players. However, there are some techniques you can use to rapidly increase a desired skill:
- Sleep bonus is paramount (it doubles your skill gain), so you need to ensure you are well rested by having a bed available when you log out. You can rent a bed at the Cedar Bay Lodge in Bridgeport for a token amount, or of course build your own when you have a settlement. Testing has suggested that you need to spend at least one hour in bed before sleep bonus starts to accumulate.
- Sleep powder is another way to get the rested bonus. You will almost always find some in a chest you find from a Treasure Map
- The Watercrest Server offers a moderate boost in skill gain. If you're into cooking, you may want to consider training at Coco's Cooking Academy in Cast Iron Bay
- Coffee offers a huge boost to skill gain, especially when combined with your sleep bonus.
Note that none of these options will affect gains in Characteristics or the main Religion heading, which are technically not considered skills.
