'''Skills''' are player attributes which are leveled up through the use of specific tools or actions. Each skill has ten levels. A skill level increase is awarded immediately upon earning enough experience points for a new level, and is immediately displayed on the skills tab of the inventory. The new skill level immediately increases the proficiency of the tool(s) associated with that skill.

'''Skills''' are player attributes which are leveled up through the use of specific tools or actions. Each skill has ten levels. A skill level increase is awarded immediately upon earning enough experience points for a new level, and is immediately displayed on the skills tab of the inventory. The first time the player levels up a skill on each day, they are notified with "You've got some new ideas to sleep on." The new skill level immediately increases the proficiency of the tool(s) associated with that skill.

Overnight, after the player goes to bed on the day a skill level increases, a popup announces the increase, and additionally awards knowledge of any applicable crafting or cooking recipes. At level 5 and level 10, players also select which one of two available Professions to specialize in. Each profession has its own set of benefits, such as sell price bonuses for related items. It should be noted that awards of recipe knowledge or profession benefits do not take place until seen in the popup overnight, and are not available until the first thing the following morning. In particular, items sold or shipped the day of the skill level increase do not receive the new price bonuses. Like recipes, profession benefits are only available beginning the following day.

[[Farming]] skill is gained by harvesting [[crops]]. Caring for animals also adds experience: Petting, milking, and shearing farm animals or picking up an animal product inside a barn or coop each give 5 experience points. Using a [[Hoes|hoe]] or [[Watering Cans|watering can]] does not grant experience by itself. Each level grants +1 [[#Proficiency|proficiency]] to hoes and watering cans.

Luck level 10 as well as level 10 in all Skills would be needed to get the Highest title, Farm King. Unfortunately, luck level (a value separate from daily [[Luck]]) is not implemented in the game as of PC v1.5. Luck level appears (in the game code) to have been intended as a 6th skill that could be leveled up, like the other skills. This means that the highest level possible is 25, making "Farmer" the best obtainable title.

The player started at level 0 and would receive 2 skill points immediately. They would receive another 2 skill points once they had reached level 1 and also earned {{price|600}}. The threshold for how much money was needed at each new level was calculated as <code>this level's cost + ((this level's cost - last level's cost)*1.2)</code>, rounded down. For example since the first level required {{price|600}}, then the second level would require {{price|1320}} to earn any skill points <code>600 + ((600 - 0)*1.2) = 1320</code>, and the third level would have required {{price|2184}} <code>1320 + ((1320 - 600)*1.2) = 2184</code>. The final skill points would be received once the player had reached level 35 and also earned a total of {{price|1764653}}.

Once the player has reached max level in all skills, they can open a door in [[Cindersap Forest]] to enter the [[Mastery Cave]]. Here, players can use extra experience to level up their mastery level. Farming experience points only contribute to mastery points at a 50% rate, while experience points for the rest of the skills contribute to mastery points at a 100% rate.

{{#lst:Mastery Cave|masteryexperience}}

Note: This is not saying that the player leveled up through earning money. It is also not saying that the skill points would cost this money to "purchase" (no money was deducted when receiving the skill points). Rather, this is saying that the player could earn skill points at each level as long as enough money had been earned throughout the game. It is unclear what the original way of increasing a player's level would be in relation to this system. The skill points awarded were separate from the player's actual level. As noted in the [[Skills#Skill-Based Title|Skill-Based Title]], this is not the only content to have expected a player's level to be able to reach higher than what is currently the game's highest level.

The mastery levels can be used to master the five skills, unlocking different perks. Masteries achieved are shown on the [[Special Items & Powers]] tab of the player's inventory.
