When you perform a Skill Action, you earn two types of experience; 'Skill Experience' which increases your Skill Level, and 'Mastery Experience' which increases the Mastery level of the specific Skill Action being used. Mastery Levels will only give bonuses to the specific action they were earned on and can be viewed by selecting Mastery from the left menu. Each successful Skill Action typically earns 1 experience point towards that actions Mastery Level. For example, making an [[Iron Dagger]] with [[Smithing]] would earn 1 experience point towards [[Iron Dagger]] Mastery Level. | |||

Deciding which skill to level first becomes a more intuitive choice once you understand which items are needed for your chosen goal. Typically players will choose to level [[Woodcutting]], [[Mining]], or [[Fishing]] first, because they are a great starting point for several progression routes and also have efficient [[Money Making]] strategies associated with them. | ||
If your goal is to prepare yourself for [[Combat]] you'll probably want some [[Equipment]] and [[food]]. You can find equipment while fighting [[monsters]], however it's slow going to begin [[Combat]] without any [[Equipment#Weapons|weapons]] or [[Equipment#Helmets|armour]]. First you'll need to do some [[Mining]] to collect [[Mining#Ores|ore]], once you have some [[Mining#Ores|ore]] you can move onto [[Smithing]], using the [[Mining#Ores|ore]] you just collected to make weapons and armour. Now that you have some basic armour and weapons, you can equip them from the [[Bank]] and start fighting [[Monsters]]. | If your goal is to prepare yourself for [[Combat]] you'll probably want some [[Equipment]] and [[food]].
