Building Skills

[Jason]

Is there a list somewhere of how you build each of the skills. If not does anyone know what activities build your skill points for luck.

Luck is talking to people and doing quests and playing games in the taverns. In Alpha 7 Malcolm Hatcher tells you about the different things that cause the skill-ups in the tutorial. See here the appropriate dialog text:<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->"You can improve Leadership by talking with people in towns, completing quests and paying your crew regularly.",
"To improve your Melee skill you obviously should whisk your blade a lot.",
"You'll get better in the domain of Sailing the more sea battles you win. Here storms and twisters can also help you, though those will surely damage your ship, too.",
"By firing either your pistol or cannons you can gain points in Accuracy. Using a pistol is more effective.",
"Making progress in Cannons requires you to fight and hit other ships or forts during battles.",
"You'll get better in Grappling every time you throw a grappling hook.",
"Observe how the shipwright repairs your ships, and you'll get experience in Repair. When you'll start to repair your ship during sea battles, you'll also achieve the same effect.",
"Becoming the master of Defence requires you to withstand many chests exploding on your face. Sword-fighting and repairing ships in shipyard or during a sea battle also helps.",
"If you often deal with merchants, you can quickly make better your skill in Commerce. When you're low on that, traders will fleece you; when you're high -- you'll do that to them.",
"Luck will improve when you play card games in taverns. Also, you'll make it better when finishing quests and still remaining alive. Or, finally, by talking with encountered people; but beware, captain, when your Luck is low, some of them will probably try to steal your belongings.",<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

hey, since when did that get in there? i know i could ask about the skills, but i'm pretty sure it was only about what they actually did.

It's in there since Alpha 7, which explains why you never saw it. It is working now though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
