    Default How Academy Skills Really Work

    This is something I worked out this past 24 hrs and tested on my lvl 8 Construction skill.

    Ok. Take the Construction skill for example. It claims to offer 10% with every level. So basically it sounds like you get 20% off at lvl 2 and 50% off at lvl 5, right?

    WRONG!

    Here's how it actually breaks down. The first 10% comes off the total 100% of the time it takes to build something leaving only 90% left. But then the second 10% only takes off that 90% that was left over from the original 10% being removed. The reality is, the second level's "10%" only removes 9% off the total build time.

    So as each level progresses, this is what is really happening to your total time:

    Level 1 - 10% - Left with 90% of the total time
    Level 2 - 9% - Left with 81%
    Level 3 - 8.1% - 72.9%
    Level 4 - 7.29% - 65.61%
    Level 5 - 6.56% - 59.05%
    Level 6 - 5.9% - 53.15%
    Level 7 - 5.31% - 47.84%
    Level 8 - 4.78% - 43.06%
    Level 9 - 4.30% - 38.76%
    Level 10 - 3.88% - 34.88%

    Now figure in that the cost of each skill level costs about twice as much gold and takes twice as long to research as the previous skill level and you'll realize just how much you're being bent over on this deal.

    Just thought you should know (in case you didn't already).

    Edit: In addition, Agriculture, Lumbering, Masonry and Mining do not work like this in reverse. A lvl 9 Agriculture skill will only give you an additional 90% food production instead of the additional 135.6% if this same scale was worked in reverse.
