Fresh2: Skilling

As a part of my Fresh2 (read it "Fresh, too?") series I'd like to give away a few things I've learnt (since I'm a noobie, it might be of use for new members of There).

Basics

Basically, there are 16 skills you can skill up, which means add points to them and become better by practising it (e.g. driver around in your buggy alot and your buggy skill will rise).

As an example, I went to the mountains and did a lot of hoverboard riding and trick jumps and my skill went up, giving me a reward (clothing or new locations in the favourites) every time I raised my level. Or by flying around with the hoverpack, I improved this skill (you get the idea).

 Your fashion level for example can be increased by putting on and off your clothes in inventory quite fast and for multiple times.

AFK Events

You might have seen that there are "AFK Events" in the activities list. These are Away From Keyboard Events, many of them are AFK skilling, which means that you can skill up while being away from your computer. How does this work?

Join such an event, pick a board, bike or buggy and step on. In your customize-menu (There -> Customize -> World) activate the Cruise Control. By doing this, every time you press the forward arrow key for a few seconds, your cruise control is activated and you don't have to keep the finger on the up arrow key (deactivate by pressing down arrow). Move the vehicle next to a wall - so it won't move sideways - with cruise control on and wait (for a long time ; ) ) - after hopping off or out of your vehicle, your skill will have increased, depending on how long you did it.
