I've noticed that in 0.15a/trunk weapons have been trained that my character never wielded. The 'm'-table even tells "Enhanced skills are in blue". Conclusion: Cross-training now happens against my purposes if I don't actively '-' opt out all possible weapons I carry. THis seems what is meant by "Cross-training now gives a direct bonus to cross-trained skills, rather than decreasing the XP cost of learning them." -- [[User:Bwijn|Bwijn]] ([[User talk:Bwijn|talk]]) 10:19, 26 July 2014 (CEST)

Strange skill training effects

I've noticed that in 0.15a/trunk weapons have been trained that my character never wielded. The 'm'-table even tells "Enhanced skills are in blue". Conclusion: Cross-training now happens against my purposes if I don't actively '-' opt out all possible weapons I carry. THis seems what is meant by "Cross-training now gives a direct bonus to cross-trained skills, rather than decreasing the XP cost of learning them." -- Bwijn (talk) 10:19, 26 July 2014 (CEST)

From what I've seen, I think cross-training improves skills, but doesn't actually put any points into them. So, if you have X levels in Maces & Flails, you can now use an axe as if you had Y levels in Axes. (Not sure on the exact ratio of levels you get from cross-training).
I kinda like this change; before, if you had a decent flail and then found a really cool axe, you'd still have to put points into Axes that could have been used to learn magic or something. Now, you can put those skill points into your main weapon skill and still be competent with weapons in related schools. --spudwalt (talk) 20:42, 26 July 2014 (CEST)
