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:
- Inscription Crafting: Legendary Scribes can craft the Tome of Accelerated Learning using the Inscription skill.
- Required Skill: 90.0 to 120.0 Inscription, plus a secondary 80.0 to 100.0 Magery check
- Ingredients: 100 Blank Scrolls and 5 Void Essence
- 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.
- 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!
