How to Level Up Skills Quickly
Use Junk Items on Highest Leveled Recipe
The best way to increase your Crafting, Cooking, Forging, and Chemistry levels is by repeatedly failing a recipe using junk items.
You can use any item that's easily availlable like Scrap Metal, Turnip Seeds, or Failed Dishes.This will allow you to craft the same recipe multiple times. You can also get Scrap Metal or Failed Dishes by failing recipes with Wood and Material Stone from your farm.
| 1 |  Interact with the station you want to increase your skill level on. Forging: Forge Chemistry: Chemistry Set Crafting: Crafting Table Cooking: Cooking Table, Knife, Frying Pan, Mixer, Oven, Steamer, or Pot |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Select the recipe with the highest skill requirement. |
| 3 |  Remove all the selected materials. |
| 4 |  Add any item as a material. You can press the right arrow to use more of the material and craft more items. |
| 5 | Press OK. The process should fail and you will receive a junk item depending on the station you used. |
| 6 | Repeat the process from step 2. |
Each failed attempt will yield Skill EXP and consume a small amount of RP. The resulting item can also be used for the next attempts, so as long as you have RP, you can repeat the proccess as many times as you need.
Using Scrap Metal to fail an attempt sometimes give Scrap Metal+. Likewise, a Failed Dish sometimes give Disastrous Dish. These are both reusable for the Skill EXP farming method.
Equip a Heart Pendant
Before you start grinding Skill levels, try to make a Heart Pendant first on your crafting table. Equipping this accessory increases skill EXP gain.
Crafting a Heart Pendant requires a Silver Pendant and a Love Crystal. You can also buy a Heart Pendant from the rotating stock at The Crystalabra.
Benefits of Leveling Up Skills
Learn More Recipes
You can only learn receipes from Recipe Bread if you meet its required Skill level. For weapon recipes, you should also have sufficient Skill level for the weapon type, in addition to the Forging Skill level, to unlock a new recipe from a Weapon Bread.
Increases RP and Other Stats
Raising a skill level also increases your stats. This includes your Skill level in Cooking, Forging, Chemistry, and Crafting.
| Skill | Increased Stat |
|---|---|
| Cooking | RP and VIT |
| Forging | RP, STR, and VIT |
| Chemistry | RP, INT, and VIT |
| Crafting | RP and INT |
