| | | | |
| − | Get a fishing rod, and use it in the direction of a body of water. Sometimes you'll drag up an old boot, and rumour has it that these boots are often poison resistant. Other times, you'll drag up a sea monster. Be careful and prepare yourself for a fight when fishing.
| + | ==Meditation== |
| | | | |
| − | Fishing is a great way to catch food for yourself and your pet, as well as being the most consistant method for finding treasure maps - see the section on [[Treasure Hunting|Cartography and Treasure Hunting]].

| | | | |
| − | Woodcrafting is the combined skills of lumberjacking and of making wooden items, such as staves, torches, and bows. To aquire the raw materials (i.e. logs), use a woodsman's axe in the forest and you might, depending on your skill, chop a log. Careful, however, as you may disturb a wisp.
| + | To meditate, simply press '''n'''. |

Then tape down the F9 key (thesedays you only have to press shift-F9 to repeat-use: bluetak no longer required) to mine your way to victory (however if you are AFK too long you will get booted). Don't catch black lung.
| + | |
| − | If you're really lucky you might dig up a gold nugget, otherwise you'll just dig up ore, the colour of which will depend on your skill. If you're unlucky, you may unearth an angry zorn.

| − | ==Blacksmithery==

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Get yourself some lockpicks from the provisioners and simply use them on a locked door or chest. Depending on your skill, you may actually unlock the door or chest. Some locks can never be picked, and often picks break, so keep a good supply of them if this is your bag.

| − | ==Trap Detect and Disarm (A Rogue Class Skill)==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Many chests, locked or not, may also trapped. Use the search function ('''s'''+dir) to search a chest for a trap. If your skill is high enough, you will detect a trap if one is present. Traps may also be present on the ground, and searching the ground may show up a trap if one is present.

| − | Chances for hiding and moving stealthily are greatly reduced when wearing medium and heavy armour.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Once hidden, you can attempt to backstab (and kill) a target - you must have a shortsword or dagger equipped to pull off a backstab. Backstabbing success is determined by your stealth skill, the target's level, and for player targets, the lightness of their armour. It's very hard to BS a player wearing plate armour, for example.

| | | | |
| − | Buy a magnifying glass and use it on an unidentified item to attempt to ID it. Be sure to do your identification in a safe place where your items will not be stolen. The skill required to ID the item with a magnifying glass is proportional to the quality of the item. As with most other skills, you will need 10 item lore to begin identifying basic items. Using a magnifying glass to ID an item will not detect a curse.
| + | The skill required to identify an item is proportional to the quality or value of the item. (Also note that to detect a curse on an item requires additional skill.) |
| | | | |
| − | ==Inscription==

| | | | |
| − | ==How / Where can I train these skills?==
| + | Refer to [[Healing]] for more details on healing. |
| | | | |
| − | Skills can be increased simply by using them, but often this process is slow. If you have some spare GP lying around, you can (for many of the skills) buy training in them.
| |
| | | | |
| − | The place to buy training skills is at the University of Tanelorne - located at 135' 66" - you will know it because it is between the twin cities of Montor East & West.
