# Nature skills should probably be kept as low as possible if you are on a basic account, since they generally affect soul characteristics which, in turn, improve spell casting abilities. Keeping them low at the start in that case should help you raise soul faster if you become premium.
# Support skills such as [[blacksmithing]], [[carpentry]], [[cloth tailoring]], [[masonry]], [[pottery]], [[stone cutting]] and [[woodcutting]] should all be raised to at least 20 , and probably 30, so that you will not be left mostly unable to help yourself or your village in other ways after you become a priest. '''Note:''' 30 is a much better level # You should strongly consider raising [[Mind logic]] to raise your support skills 20.1 and [[Body control]] to 21 for all skills except stone cutting, though raising masonry the ability to command sailing boats and to ride horses. These characteristics are much harder to 30 via Stone Cutting alone would be a good ideagain without crafting.
