Loading up my primary character I went straight to work making some basic pants, I mended my jeans irl sometimes so abit of extra skill couldn't hurt right? I made and deconstructed a ton of the Breton type until I ran outta fabric.
Breton Homespun Breeches 62/1000
Mollydrum Crafting 62/1000
....
I should've picked Fable.
After burning all of my complex food ingredients and eating the random assortments of dishes and drinks I was feeling abit sick irl and my skill sheet was as long of a nightmare as you might imagine. I put the fish, chicken and carrots along with corresponding recipes in my bank. Then logged out to create a new character. I named the new character 1kgrinder and set to work after learning all the recipes I cook all the fish, chicken, and carrots I had. Bought a couple inventory expansions and a carry weight+1 from the stable master. Then got ready to start grinding.
2 days later.
"Finally!!!"
My first skills had come in.
Wormmouth Slaying 1: 0/10000
Attacking w Breton Iron Dagger 1: 0/10000
Wormmouth Slaying: 0.1% increased chance of a critical hit, 0.1% better job not damaging the hide or meat per level
Attacking Breton Iron Dagger: 0.1% reduction in stamina required to attack, 0.1% reduction to wear from use.
So a critical hit, gathering, and extra training skills. meh, it's better than nothing. Now to fish!
Later that night
Lake Fishing With guts 1: 0/10000
Lake fishing with guts: 0.1% stamina reduction, fish are 0.1% more likely to notice the guts you threw out per level
Umm this looks like a purely real world skill, could be worse.
I quickly cooked the fish plain and sure enough.
Fishy Stick Cooking: 0.1% faster cooking, 0.1% less likely to burn fishy stick
Huh another real world skill huh, welp time to eat. After eating 1k fishy sticks I felt like I had eaten 1.
Eating fishy stick: Can be eaten 0.1% faster, grants 0.1% more health.
Huh, wonder if i can get this kinda skill for a crown restoring meal?
Welp back to grinding!
1 week later
Finally earned the attacking skill with each basic racial style of dagger and started to grind one handed swords the same way.
Also got the achievements for hunting goats, skeevers, roaches, scorpions, and centipedes. Gotta play it safe after all. Also earned skills for catching and scaling the basic lake fish.
Catch Silverfin: 0.1% stamina reduction, silverfins are 0.1% more likely to notice the guts you put out per level.
yeah I'm too lazy to look but if silverfin is even a real fish this'll only work with guts as bait it seems
Scaling Silverfin: 0.1% faster scaling 0.1% less likely to cut into the fish while scaling per level.
Other skills I got were
Finding Iron: when looking for iron you find 0.1% more and gain an additional 1 exp
Refining Iron: You get 0.1% more iron of 0.1% higher quality per level
Finding Maple Wood: When looking for wood you spot variable maple chunks 0.1% easier and gain an additional 1 exp per level
Refining Maple Wood: When refining maple wood you get 0.1% more wood of 0.1% higher quality per level
So an insanely weak version of the passive skill that let's you notice and refine materials?
Maybe I should try commiting crimes and paying off the guards maybe I'll get lower fines for tickets irl? Welp I better get to it
