Training

As you gain experience, you will get closer to the next level. You can see your experience by typing the word, experience in-game. When you reach the next level, you will increase your skill potential.

There is no external training system per se. At the beginning of each level, you will have two sets of numbers when you type skills. One is your actual skill level, the other is the potential amount of skill you can gain during that level. You increase your skill level, just as in real life, by practicing. For example, if you use your knife repeatedly, your skill level will rise in Knives and Rapiers. If you never try to pick a lock, your skill level in Lockpicking will not rise.

So that everyone is not a cookie-cutter character with the same strengths and weaknesses, there are bonuses for various professions and races that will affect the rate at which you learn. For example, a warrior will become proficient with weapons with much less effort than a mage will.
