# Studying Skills
|
|
|
|
Every unit in Eressea can be upgraded by learning a number of skills.
|
|
Some examples of skills are mining, riding, archery, and shipcraft.
|
|
Some skills enable a unit to produce a good, such as mining, which
|
|
gives you access to iron and other metals. Other skills improve a
|
|
unit's combat qualities, like archery, melee, and constitution. With
|
|
enough time, all skills can be studied to higher levels, with no upper
|
|
limit, and usually give better benefits the more proficient a unit is.
|
|
|
|
To study a skill, a unit needs to give the STUDY order, followed by
|
|
the name of the skill:

UNIT 1234
|
|
STUDY mining
|
|
|
|
## Study duration
|
|
|
|
An unmodified skill takes about a week to learn, higher levels take
|
|
longer. The total time to advance a level is variable per unit, but on
|
|
average, learning up to a new level takes as many weeks' time, so for
|
|
example, starting from level 3 it should take approximately 4 weeks to
|
|
reach level 4 in a skill.
|
|
|
|
## Skill modifications
|
|
|
|
Skills can be modified for any number of reasons. Certain races have
|
|
natural modifications on skills, which give a bonus on the skill if it
|
|
has been trained to at least level 1. Some buildings provide their
|
|
inhabitants with a skill boost, and certain skills are modified by the
|
|
terrain that a unit is in.
