Skill leveling

Hi can someone tell me how can i reach fast at Carpentry lvl 60 ( so i can make Large Crates ). Maybe arrow making, bows and imping?

My way of building crafting skills is, first build a bed and get a decent amount of sleep bonus.
The look on wurmpedia for the carpentry skill, see what things you haven't yet built that you would like or need. Build them out of the lowest quality materials you have and spam improve them until you can't go any higher, usually limited to the best quality log you have.

I've been following gamesters tutorials on youtube and he's given some great tips for improving and skill increasing by using a better toolbelt and with keybindings.

It is like anything else in Wurm, practice the skill.

For skills that create things which are impable you make a bunch of those items and then improve them as much as you can.

Typically you want the smallest items so they use the least materials while imping.

For Carpentry I seem to remember that would be spindles. So make 100 spindles and improve them as much as you can.

For Fine Carpentry I seem to remember it was rope tools.

It is also perfectly valid to create 1 item, imp it as far as you can then repeat.

Remember higher ql items bring in more money from the Trader :)

In Wurm Unlimited there's no "difficulty" or anything like that affecting skill gain. The best way to improve a skill is to do the fastest or most spammable action that gains skill. Improving items to grind a skill is actually pretty terrible, I wouldn't recommend it.

For carpentry I would spam a few thousand pegs. They're quick and easy to make and require very few materials. Just make a bunch of shafts (which gives carp xp as well) and then turn them into pegs, then just throw away the pegs I guess.

Alternatively, make thousands of planks, which you can then use to make those large crates.

The key to grinding any skill in WU is to spam create thousands of small, mostly useless items. For blacksmithing, many people spam small nails.

For blacksmithing, many people spam small nails.

I'm pretty sure needles use the least material for BS. Granted, a pile of nails is more useful. But needles will use less iron.
