Current skill baselines and perk bonuses

Earlier live observation — 6 September 2026; see planned replacement

Level-1 baselines inspected earlier on 6 September 2026, before rate and perk adjustments:
• Mining: 128 stone-equivalent blocks.
• Woodcutting: 32 log-equivalents.
• Farming: 64 mature-crop equivalents.
• Fishing: 6 catch-equivalents.
• Hunting: 10 ordinary-hostile equivalents.
• Smithing: 24 smelted-item equivalents.
• Cooking: 32 cooked-item equivalents.
• Exploration: 900 eligible Wilderness blocks.

Growth is 4.5% per level. The realm rate is 1.0×, with Exploration overriding it to 0.5×. Therefore the initial Exploration requirement is 900 / 0.5 = 1,800 credited units before perks. Raw travel distance and credited eligible distance can differ.

The accepted perk policy has ten entries per skill: unlock levels 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 99. Their active XP bonuses are 2% through 11% in that order. Purchase prices are 250, 1,000, 2,250, 4,000, 6,250, 9,000, 12,250, 16,000, 20,250, 25,000 Larks.

Owning a perk is different from activating it. Check your live skill menu for slots, cooldowns, access and any later policy change. These are dated observations, not permanent promises.
