==Learning Skills==
A [[skill]] is a group of abilities. Examples would be [[Survival]] and [[Subterfuge]], (a [[serpent]] [[class]] skill.)
To train in a skill, you need to either learn from another player who has more training in the skill than you, or a [[denizen]] tutor.
You can learn anywhere for 1 to 15 lessons at a time in this manner, and the more you learn, the more the skill will progress, giving you access to new abilities. Learning one lessons at a time can be very tedious, and it is suggested that you stick with groups of 15.
The syntax to train a skill is LEARN # <skill> FROM <tutor>.
It is suggested that you use [[myrrh]] when you learn, as it will speed up the process to some extent.
When you learn from other players, they will gain a small lesson bonus. While this bonus isn't much, training others regularly over time can help a tutor rise in skill rank.
As you train a skill, one way to judge the process is by the skill rank you are currently at. The skill ranks are as follow:
  1)  Inept
  2)  Novice
  3)  Apprentice
  4)  Capable
  5)  Adept
  6)  Skilled
  7)  Gifted
  8)  Expert
  9)  Virtuoso
10)  Fabled
11)  Mythical
12)  Transcendent
As you advance in levels, you will gain bonus [[credits]] that can be converted to lessons. The process can be seen in [http://www.achaea.com/irex/helpview/help.php?q=credits&x=Help HELP 19.4 (HELP CREDITS)]
