Skills are player attributes which are leveled up through the use of specific tools or actions. Increasing skill will increase the proficiency of certain tools, and unlock helpful and unique crafting recipes. It should be noted that any crafting recipes learned through leveling up will not be accessible until after your next save/the following day.
Each skill has ten levels, and at level 5 and level 10 players will select from one of two specific buffs to specialize into. These specializations take effect immediately; for example, the Level 5 Fisher specialization will increase the selling price of fish put into the shipping box the previous night. All skills need the following experience points to increase skill level:
Lvl | Experience |
---|---|
1 | 100 |
2 | 380 |
3 | 770 |
4 | 1300 |
5 | 2150 |
6 | 3300 |
7 | 4800 |
8 | 6900 |
9 | 10000 |
10 | 15000 |
A variety of skills can be temporarily improved by eating specific foods. These skills will appear as a buff icon next to the player clock in the user interface. Skills can be viewed in the player skill tab in the game pause menu.
The information in this page includes known methods for obtaining skill experience. There might be other methods to gain experience for each skill that are currently unknown.
Farming | Each level grants +1 proficiency to the hoe and watering can tools. Levels are gained by harvesting crops. Caring for animals also increases this. |
Mining | Mining skill is increased by using the pickaxe tool to break rocks. Each level adds +1 to pickaxe proficiency. |
Foraging | Foraging skill includes both gathered foraged goods, and wood from trees chopped with an axe tool. Each level adds +1 axe proficiency. |
Fishing | Fishing is the skill associated with catching fish. Successfully completing the fishing minigame increases fishing skill. Each level adds +1 fishing rod proficiency. |
Combat | Combat is a skill tied to the player's ability to fight against monsters. Each level adds +5 health points. |
Proficiency
Skill proficiency affects the amount of energy required to use specific tools. As proficiency increases, energy requirements decrease by 0.1 points [1].
The Pickaxe, Axe, Hoe, and Watering Can use 2 energy. The Fishing Rod uses 8 energy. Powering up the watering can increases its cost by 2 energy per level, with a maximum cost of 10 energy using a fully-charged iridium watering can.

Crop | Exp per harvest | Crop | Exp per harvest | Crop | Exp per harvest | Crop | Exp per harvest |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Coffee Bean | 4 | Hops | 6 | Wheat | 6* | Tulips | 7 |

Pumpkin | 31 | Ancient Fruit | 43 | Starfruit | 44 | Sweet Gem Berry | 64 |
- * Due to a bug with scythe harvesting, these crops don't give any experience points.
The experience points awarded are calculated using the formula XP=||ln(0.018*PRICE + 1)|| with PRICE being the selling price of the crop's item.
Harvesting forageable plants grown on the farm counts as 3 foraging experience points per plant rather than farming experience points.
Experience level is increased after sleeping.

Chopping down a tree gives 12 exp (granted all at once for the last chop that causes the tree to fall), and removing hardwood stumps and logs gives 25 exp each (removing regular tree stumps gives no exp).

Fishing Skill is increased by catching Fish or Trash with a Fishing Rod/Pole or by harvesting Crab Pots.

The amount of experience earned for each caught fish is as follows:
(Quality of fish (stars) + 1) * 3 + Fish Difficulty (a value from 5-110 depending on the fish) / 3
This number is multiplied by 2.2 if you also have a treasure, 2.4 if it was perfect and 5 if it was a boss fish. For e.g. a regular quality sardine (difficulty 30) would net you (0+1)*3+30/3 = 13 xp.
Crab pots net you 5 xp each time you collect from them (no matter what is collected).
Fishing trash with the fishing pole gives 3 XP.
The xp required for leveling up is the same as for all skills:
Lvl | Experience | Total Sardines (No stars) | Total Gold Star Legend Fish (Highest xp fish) | Total Crab Pot |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 100 | 8 | 1 | 20 |

Combat skill is increased by fighting monsters. Each level adds +5 health points. Tested crit chance with +50% Scout skill and two +10% crit chance rings. Chance to crit is multiplicative not additive: around 5-10% max [base * 1.5 * 1.1 * 1.1] with all boosts, not 50% + 10% + 10% = 70%.
