The Electrician Vol. 1, titled and previously known as Electrician for Beginners is a skill book that increases the experience gains for the player's electrical skill for levels 0-2.

Usage

By reading the book, the player will receive a 3x multiplier to the electrical XP gains, as long as they are level 0-2. It is not possible to read the book after that level and gain anything out of it.

To read the book:

1. Right-click the skill book and click "Read".
2. Wait for the progress bar to finish. Without traits, each page will take 5 seconds of real-time to read, or 2 minutes of in-game time.
3. Check the character's skills page to verify a boost to the appropriate skill is obtained. (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 number 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).

The book can also used as a fuel, providing 15 minutes of burn time per book.
