Reminder sent to: TerryDactyl

Which skills and/or attributes are leveling up? How fast is "quickly" -- how much gain over how many days/weeks/years?

"faster than anything else"

...on account that multiple skills are training simultaneously. The Science escapes me ATM.

It does not appear that skills are advancing any faster PER USE than other skills. BUT, archer/marksdwarf/ambusher are in use more than a single, dedicated miner.

I've noticed that hunters train archery and marksdwarfship MUCH faster than military dwarves assigned as archers and put on full-time training.

This may be expected behavior. I mean, they are training on live targets, you know.

Marksdorfs 'training' on living beings also train fast.
