I created a non-orc Dexxer this morning, and played a bit off and on throughout the day, mixed in with macroing some Anatomy & Hiding. My observations:

- Skill gain is, in my opinion, extremely fast through "natrual" gameplay for combat skills:

Anatomy               81.9  81.9 0.0 100.0
Snooping              77.4  70.4 0.0 100.0
Hiding                66.1  66.1 0.0 100.0
Swordsmanship         64.2  60.3 0.0 100.0
Tactics               58.5  58.5 0.0 100.0
Healing               62.1  55.9 0.0 100.0
Lumberjacking         60.8  51.0 0.0 100.0
Bowcraft and Fle...   60.1  49.4 0.0 100.0

Started with 50 heal/Fletching & the bulk of the character's combat was vs sheep and graveyard spawn. Made 1 trip to Covetous 1. Harpy spawn was low/slow. Dungeons have "increased gain rates" for COMBAT SKILLS ONLY, but I didn't really notice much of a difference, honestly. Fast is fast.

- Stat gains come easily for melee through "natural" gameplay. Did a bit of Snooping & Anatomy first thing when I made the character & got to around 60 str/Dex... just playing for a few hours gaining the above skills and I got to MAX stats on the dexxer: 100str / 95dex / 30int.


Other:

- Sheep only give 1 wool per when sheared, and none if killed then sheared. Sheep respawn faster than wool regrows.

- Cotton/flax spawns decently at the Skara Farms.

- Low priced faction towns mean SUPER cheap regs and ligz (cheap regs: 3g/1g, arrow 1g, bolt 2g)

- Crafting is HARD.
