Talk:Skills (PoOT)

The text describing what to do in order to progress a skill is not accurate in all instances, and could use some work or ideally get their own articles. For example using the hoe and harvesting crops does advance Fieldwork, but sowing seeds does not. Setting spores on mushroom logs and planting seedlings does not advance the Cultivating or Orcharding skills, but harvesting does. Taking care of your animals does not advance Animal Care (by itself), but increasing their Happiness each star does. The last example isn't as strong as the action does lead to the experience but not as directly as scooping with the bucket does with each use. It may also be worth stating that only speaking to residents the first time each day advances friendship and the communication skill, but interaction within events only advance the skill, and gift giving does not count as this 'first spoken to' interaction.
