I've rolled a change that will speed up weapon experience when you hit. This is live everywhere.

Is there any chance Conviction could be rolled into this change somehow?

It was already slow to train given the once/minute restriction currently on the skill. Now in comparison with how quickly weapons train, conviction is... pretty rough to train.

I'm really hoping anything that trains by hitting with a weapon can be included. Offhand weapons is another one that trains like it used. If you take a dagger put it in your off hand and train with it, your small edged skill will be locked before your off-hand is even half way to locked.

It's driving my ocd crazy.

I'm kind of torn on whether to say anything at all, but here it goes...

Could we get a smidge of a bump to melee mastery? If you are higher up or train all weapons, then you don't really notice the "penalty". However, if you are a new character and only train like 3 melee weapons, you can never get melee mastery locked before the other three are locked. I don't really have the problem with missile mastery, just melee.

Here is a snippet of hunting in Sand Sprites:

Small Edged: 44 73% intrigued (16/34) Large Edged: 43 46% very riveted (29/34)
Large Blunt: 41 19% absorbing (15/34) Bow: 43 76% fascinated (25/34)
Heavy Thrown: 42 17% very riveted (29/34) Offhand Weapon: 42 22% very riveted (29/34)
Melee Mastery: 44 85% attentive (10/34) Missile Mastery: 40 34% very focused (21/34)

As you can see, my missile after training bow and heavy thrown are okay. But I started out with small edged until it was locked, then I moved to large edge until it was locked, and now I am in the middle of large blunt, but my melee mastery is only at 10/34.

I understand that this may be working as intended, since some people have a 200-300 gap between primary weapon and melee mastery. But if you are training multiple weapons (but not all weapons), I would think you should lock your melee mastery quicker.

Is anyone else experiencing this with low characters?

Sorry for the double post - I should add this is a weapon secondary character - IE a thief.
