Self-Improvement is a skill that increases the Attack and Defense of a Hunter when a certain time has passed. This caps out at 30 minutes into the hunt and provides a total of +12 Attack and +20 Defense.
Increases Attack and Defense Stat Over Time
| Time (Minutes) | Attack | Defense |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | - | +5 |
| 10 | +4 | +5 |
| 20 | +4 | +5 |
| 30 | +4 | +5 |
| Max Total | +12 | +20 |
The Self-Improvement skill increases the attack stat of the players over time within 30 minutes during a quest. During these 30 minutes, the skill will activate during the 5, 10, 20, and 30-minute mark.
The Defense stat increases by 5 during every time mark, while the Attack stat increases by 4 only on the 10, 20, and 30-minute mark.
Timer Only Starts When a Quest Begins
As the skill description mentions, the skill timer only begins once a quest starts. As such, it will not activate when players are free-roaming.
Stacks With Self-Improvement Melody
The Self-Improvement Skill stacks with the Self-Improvement Melody from the Hunting Horn. While both the Skill and the Melody have the same name, they have different effects, which allows them to stack.
The Self-Improvement Skill grants Attack and Defense, while the Melody grants Attack, Movement Speed, and Interrupt Resistance.

Couldn't find this anywhere, but how does this work when granted from a Hunting Horn? Does it reset each time the buff wears off? Or is this completely different than the Self-Improvement buff granted by the skill?
