How do I raise it?

Active skills can be used from 0.0. Recipes and special abilities retain their own skill requirements; Teacher training is optional. Skill gain chance after a valid completed use %70; a successful gain adds 0.1 points.

1. Prepare Logs or Boards and the appropriate crafting tool, then open the Bowcraft menu. Select an available bow, crossbow or ammunition recipe.
2. Keep the recipe's materials in your normal backpack. As your skill improves, use harder recipes you qualify for instead of only making easy ammunition.

Time per attempt: 4 seconds. An interrupted action is not a completed attempt; success and material checks still apply.

Progress and Real Skill Value

Set the skill lock to increase. The individual skill cap is 100 and the total cap is 700; when the total is full, set another skill to decrease. Learning is rolled independently for every valid use, so gains are not guaranteed on every attempt unless the chance is 100%. Skill gain is disabled in designated safe areas.

The Skills screen shows your real skill value. Eligible skills below 30 can be trained by the Teacher; further progress comes from valid actions for that skill. A stat lock does not lock skill gain.
