Skills are the basic physical, mental, and magical tasks that your character is able to perform. As skills are used, their values will increase. Higher values in skills indicate a better mastery of that specific skill, and will allow you to perform the skill more efficiently and with greater success.
===Parent skillsSkills===
Parent skills help the success chance of their sub-skills by a small amount. Using sub-skills increases parent skills as well, although bonuses from the tool (including quality and enchantments) are not applied.
===Titles===
Most skills can also give titles when reaching a certain level. The usual level requirements for a title are 50, 70, 90, and 100. See the [[titles]] page on the wiki for more details. Some titles give bonuses to the skills they are for.
===Enemy presencePresence on PVP server===When an enemy player is within your local area for a while , you will getting warning messages about decreased skillgain until you are outside the enemy's local range. This only applies on PVP servers.
==Skill gainGain==
Most actions give skill in a specific pattern: Each action has a chance of giving skill. The chance is determined by the character's skill level, the difficulty of the action and, usually, the quality of the tool being used. The amount depends on the length of the action timer. If the action timer takes twice as long the gain is twice as high too. The amount is also affected by sleep bonus and tool enchantments like [[Circle of cunning]].
