Rename 'Skill Values'

Post by Jackard »

It'd be easier on folks if you renamed skill values to 'Masteries' or something less confusing (well if you intend to keep them at all, that is. i dont know. you might get rid of them or end up combining skills and values somehow)

maybe rename other stuff so they dont share the same name too. like farming skill and farming skill value. or rename things to more accurately reflect their purpose, like changing the 'swimming' skill to 'drowning' skill

i agree, this would help with some of the confusion that new players have.

edit: for example,

It says in the wiki that Yeomanry only requires Farming and The Will to Power. I'm done learning The Will to Power but Yeomanry is still not listed in the learnable skill list.

Do I still have to level farming? Currently it's in level one.

Thanks.

Disciplines, Lores, whatever

might want to rename both since 'skills' is a very generic term (unless one is axed or the two are combined)
