General Information

Skill books are usable items which apply an experience multiplier to a given skill. There are currently skill books in-game for all levels of nine character skills: Carpentry, Cooking, Electricity Farming, First Aid, Fishing, Foraging, Mechanics, Metalworking, Tailoring and Trapping with a separate skill book applying to each level of the skill--Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, and finally Master.

They can also be burnt in a fire as a consumable, but this is not recommended incase you wish to revisit the same world if your character dies.

Usage

  1. Put the skill book in your main inventory.
  2. Right click the skill book and click "Read".
  3. Wait for the progress bar to finish.
  4. Double check that all pages have been read (sometimes anywhere from 1-20 pages of the book will not have been read). If some pages have not been read, repeat step 2 & 3.
  5. Check your character's "Skills" page to verify you are now getting a boost to the appropriate skill. (There will be sequential arrows running from the skill name to the skill boxes and hovering over the skill box that is currently being worked on will show the multiplier that is being given.)

Note: If at any point the player is interrupted during reading, they do not lose the pages they have read; they will continue where they left off. Therefore, other matters can be attended to, such as killing a zombie or tending to a garden, before returning to the book. The total amount of pages read so far will show up in the book's tooltip when hovered over. Depending on the situation, it may be best to spend a few hours a day (usually at night) over several days working through a skill book rather than attempting to read one straight through in one sitting (boredom, hunger, thirst, and unhappiness will all accrue while reading).

Note: If the character says, "I don't get it" or other similar lines above their head, they are reading a book too complicated for their level. No progress will be made or multiplier applied, when reading a book too complicated. Make sure they are reading the book that corresponds to the level they are currently working on (Beginner = Level 1 and 2, Intermediate = Level 3 and 4, Advanced = Level 5 and 6, Expert = Level 7 and 8, Master = Level 9 and 10). Books cannot be read early.

Benefits

Reading a skill book even partially will give your character a multiplier on any points gained for a given skill. For example, if sawing wood normally gives 3 XP and you've read all of the level 1 (Beginner) skill book, you will now gain 9 XP each time you saw wood until you reach level 2. This will dramatically decrease the time required to learn a skill. In most cases, it is not worth wasting resources to grind out a level in a skill unless you have fully read the skill book and have the maximum multiplier.

Higher-tier skill books have more pages and take longer to read. Upon accruing enough experience to finish that skill level (even if you don't use a skill point to level it up), the multiplier is removed and experience gain returns to 1.0x until the next proficiency level book has been read for that skill. You can have as many active multipliers as you want simultaneously (i.e. four skills being boosted at the same time).

Maximum multiplier

  1. Beginner - x3
  2. Intermediate - x5
  3. Advanced - x8
  4. Expert - x12
  5. Mastery - x16
