Skill Gains and Accelerated Learning

Age of Sosaria features a fully customized, highly player-friendly Skill Gain System designed to reduce the tedious, repetitive grinding typically associated with traditional Ultima Online shards, while maintaining a balanced and rewarding progression.

By utilizing our custom hard skill overrides and the specialized Tome of Accelerated Learning, you can fast-track your character builds and get straight into end-game PvM and PvP action!

📖 Specific Skill Tier Multipliers

To help with progression, the server applies permanent multipliers to specific skills that are historically expensive, difficult, or highly grindy to raise:

The "Very Hard" Tier (2.0x Multiplier)

These skills receive a permanent 2.0x boost to all gain checks:

• Animal Taming (also receives a secondary 2.0x base bonus, making it extremely easy compared to standard shards!)
• Discordance
• Provocation
• Poisoning
• Lockpicking

The "Expensive & Grindy" Tier (1.5x Multiplier)

These resource-heavy or combat-utility skills receive a permanent 1.5x boost:

• Spells & Magic: Magery, Necromancy, Mysticism, Spellweaving
• Crafting: Blacksmithing, Tailoring, Tinkering, Carpentry, Bowcraft/Fletching, Inscription, Alchemy
• Support & Recovery: Healing, Veterinary

📖 Tome of Accelerated Learning

For adventurers who want the ultimate training speed, the Tome of Accelerated Learning is an invaluable custom item.

⚙️ How It Works

• Double-clicking the Tome in your backpack opens the Accelerated Learning Gump.
• Select any active skill you wish to boost.
• Upon activation, the Tome grants your character a **5.0x gain rate multiplier** for the selected skill!
• The buff lasts for 20 minutes. When it expires, you will receive a notification: "Your accelerated learning effect has worn off."

🗺️ How to Obtain the Tome

The Tome of Accelerated Learning is a premium utility item that can be obtained in three ways:

1. Inscription Crafting: Legendary Scribes can craft the Tome of Accelerated Learning using the Inscription skill.
   1. Required Skill: 90.0 to 120.0 Inscription, plus a secondary 80.0 to 100.0 Magery check
   2. Ingredients: 100 Blank Scrolls and 5 Void Essence
2. Treasure Hunting: Sunken chests from any treasure map level have a chance to contain a Tome, though the odds are noticeably better from high-tier Level 6 (Ingenious) and Level 7 (Diabolical) maps.
3. Paragon Hunting: Defeating powerful Paragon Monsters and looting Paragon Chests in Ilshenar dungeons has a rare chance to drop the Tome.

Note: Stacking a Tome of Accelerated Learning (+5.0x) on top of a skill override (+2.0x) allows you to cap out difficult skills like Animal Taming or Magery in a fraction of the time!
