anyone else's maintenance leveling CRAZY slow? and yes i'm using weapons that level maintenance

[Bomjus]

i've got repairman occupation and wilderness knowledge. that's +3 maintenance for the maximum possible boost.

i have almost exclusively been using claw or ball peen hammers. both of which level maintenance

i have killed 270 zombies and i have only earned 607 maintenance xp. i started at short blutn 1, i am halfway to short blunt 5. i started at maintenance 3, i am only ~80% of the way to maintenance 4.

crazy

Its not crazy slow. For reference, I just started as Mechanic with no Maint and 1 Blunt. I have 225 kills (very few using LB Baseball Bat), raised my SB to 3 and only have 68/75 XP on Maint (90%) not reaching even Maint 1.

Maint levels up from all weapons, so it does level up slower. Starting skills give bonuses to compensate for the rising exp requirements, so imagine what pain it would be to level Maint 4 as someone who has no such bonus.

I'm not sure, but you may get exp from weapons taking Condition damage, so using a variety of weapon classes may help raise it faster.
