Notes on Skills

It's important to note that some skills have abilities that require a certain level of skill to perform, such as resurrection using bandages which takes a minimum of 80 healing and 80 anatomy to perform. Some skills are influenced by your characters Statistics which gives you a bonus to your skills. This bonus is taken into account for all formulas on Angel Island and Siege Perilous.

You do not need to worry about your skills gaining slower once you have reached the total skill cap and need to reduce skills to advance other skills on either Angel Island or Siege Perilous.
