Skills

Skills represent the ability of characters to perform actions in the game. There are 5 skills in total and the development of each is tracked separately. Skill points are a measure of how proficient the player is at these skills. Increasing them not only improves the actions performed, but also grants access to perks that may be learned upon leveling up.

Types of Skills

 * Ducks
 * Exploration
 * Farming
 * Technology
 * Lifting

Raising Skill Level
The level of a given skill is increased as the skill is used successfully. When unsuccessful at completing a task, the player's skill for that task may decrease depending on the level of failure.

Another way for a player to increase their skill level in by reading a skill book and completing a multiple choice test. Failure to pass one of these tests will result in a decrease of that skill.

Skill Experience Points and Character Level Up
When a player reaches a pre-determined value of skill increases, they level up.

The effort required to level up a given skill increases with the current level of that skill. Generally, using a more advanced feature of a skill, such as farming radishes instead of potatoes, advances the skill more than a novice feature.

Maximum Level
The maximum level a player can obtain for each individual skill is 50. Once a player reaches level 25 in a skill, however, the only way to advance to a higher level is having enough skill points and paying enough DuckCoins (the amount of DuckCoins required is based on the formula [(n+1) * 1.2], were n is the skill level they are currently at).

For example, if a player wishes to reach level 30 in a skill, they must reach the required amount of skill points and pay [(29+1) * 1.2], or 36, DuckCoins.

Certain DLC packages will allow a player to raise the maximum level of a skill above 50.
