Skills
Skills in BitCraft are one of the main ways players progress in the game.
While Professions are needed for Settlement progression and are often specializations, Skills are likely to be done by all players to some degree.
There will be 6 Skills in Early Access. Skills were first introduced in Alpha 3.
Overview
Basics
Just like with Professions, performing an action gives Experience in the related Skill. Players can level up in each Skill indefinitely, however there is no additional content after level 100 as of now.[1]
List of Skills
As of Beta 1 in Early Access, the following Skills will be available:
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
 Construction
|
Building the world and establishing civilization from scratch |
| Cooking
|
Making food and drinks necessary for survival |
| Merchanting
|
While we don't know how experience is earned, the Skill may involve Traveler Tasks or the new Marketplace |
| Monster Slaying
|
Slaying monsters in the wilderness such as Jakyls |
| Sailing
|
New Skill, but definitely involves boats! |
| Taming
|
Not much is known, but we'll be able to tame Pets and have Mounts! |
Changes
During Alpha 3, Exploration and Lore Keeper were listed as available Skills, but no content or experience were available in them. Merchanting was known as "Trading" and Monster Slaying was simply known as "Slayer."
Cooking was a Profession prior to Early Access, but it has been switched to a Skill and is no longer required for Settlement progression.
