The skill a person has in an area determines how well that person accomplishes tasks in that area. Skills increase in rank with experience: every time a person completes a task successfully, the corresponding skill will increase by an amount of experience points (XP). Once the XP reach the amount required for the next level, the rank will increase.

The highest skill or skills of a dwarf determines their profession.

Skill ranks

To reach Novice level in any skill requires 500 XP. Reaching each successive level requires an additional 100 XP, so to go from Novice to No label requires 600 XP; No label to Competent requires 700 XP, and so on. The following figures are the cumulative XP needed to go from unskilled to any given skill level.
