Yea im not gonna lie i hyped that one up a little bit, just make / buy lockpicks and use them to lockpick doors, it just makes (some) harder locks easier and at max level pretty much at the highest, every lock is moderate (for the current version) Except for the internet door in uhh.. deekula C? i dont honestly remember. Now for the second skill, that being... bum bum dun dun!

Yea this one is also not that hyped up and big, but anyway cooking at first really really REALLY lookings intimidating since pretty much everything you eat will cause you to contemplate open seuer slide but somehow, its actually really really easy, just very slightly time consuming. First what you must do is go into the market, and buy as many potato and Turnip you can afford. With those either buy a grill and use it to make as many grilled potato's and turnips as possible, since skills level based off grinding, better recipes dont give better xp, so the easiest possible foods to make give the best xp. So just uhh, pretty much make as many grilled potato's and turnips as possible. if you just buy all of them from the shop thats literally all you need to get max cooking (tho do know, the achievement for max cooking might be bugged as of this post). Leveling cooking is uhh.. kinda good i guess? all it really does is decrease the chance of your recipes to fail and increase the quality of your food. Im gonna be completely honest with you, its a pretty worthless skill if you have mushroom ebola, since everything tastes bad with mushroom ebola. I think it might be good without mushroom ebola but uhh, yea it can be kinda worthless. Anyway time for one of the most painful skill grinds in the game, yet the most important skill grinds in the game. Drumroll please thththththththththththt.

Alright for peak efficiency here, im not gonna lie. Grab your sleeping pills, get stocked up on food and water and just sleep until you have roughly around 3.5k RM. Once you obtain this moolah, go to your local tenement building upgrader man and hopefully he's selling the legendary item of legend.. The metal working Lathe! Anyway Yea get that, unplug your iphone charger and plug this bad boy in, buy a gaming chair, get some pop corn, turn on a movie, grab like a chest load of scrap metal and then turn as much scrap into lockpicks as possible, because you're gonna be sittin there for like a long time. If i can give any suggestion for this grind, maybe buy 2 Lathe's. it took me roughly 2 hours. Anyway once thats done congrats!!! you have max level machining!!! now what the heck does this do, this seem atleast 10x more worthless than cooking. Leveling Machining decreases the chance of failure and increases the quality of items made. But bro, i can only make lockpicks with this worthless billion dollar machine they dont increase in quality.. why did you tell me to buy this im bankrupt, you've ruined me!!! Anyway theres a special little trick that not many people know of. If you have any gold or silver you've kept and not instantly sold to passmore, take said gold and silver, put them in your lathe, insert glass shards and mechanical parts and bing bang boom, you get the max quality gold / silver watches. but then you also ask, "Brother these watches are really good for money it seems like, they sell for so much.. So much that no one buys them for me, im doomed, you've ruined me, im going to commit oben seuer silde!!" Well you didnt get it from me and just note, this issue wont exist once the bazaar update drops (hopefully) but heres a little bit of a tip (obvious exploit). Once you have your silver watches and gold watches in hand, take roughly 23 billion lockpicks with you (roughly 10-15 stacks) and run over to passmore. Sell him as many silver watches as possible and then sell him as many lockpicks you can. Once you sell him all your lockpicks, buy them back, and then sell them to him and buy them back over and over again, between buying / selling them back passmore will buy your gold watches for like i think around 3.5k RM each, which makes this easily the strongest source of money in the game, just requires getting lucky with looting.

Alright so uhh, now that you're a multi billionaire buy like one or two band saws from the secret funny tenement upgrade man. then go and buy as much wood and glue as possible, turn all your wood into furniture parts (3 wood in the band saw) and then you'll have a bunch of furniture parts and sawdust, remove the furniture parts and put in the glue to make plywood (8 sawdust + 2 glue = plywood). Once you do this just do it again like 100 times and you should get max level. Now the bonuses.. yea im not gonna sugar coat it, this one is worthless, this one just like the others, decreases chances of failure and increases quality, but theres nothing quality with wood working as of right now so its worthless. plus if you have a bandsaw, you dont need the failure chance, its like so low it may as well be 0 at level 1. Now for the skill thats like, literally just a very tiny money save. That being uhh yea its uhh..

This one is like kinda good i guess, very useful for being happy because a high quality raw onion somehow gives alot of happiness even though its a raw onion. Quick important side note, you can only farm in your tenement, dont think about ever farming in the greenhouse, it literally gives so little xp that it may as well be 0. Anyway what you need to do is get really lucky with blueprints and get just craft a bunch of flowerbeds, and then make a bunch of flowerbeds with the uhh.. lights i think idk. And then go back to your local wallmart and buy roughly like 40 potato's. use the potato's as seeds (if you put any raw veggie in a planter it can be used as a seed) plant them in your planter boxes and uhh.. just wait for them to grow. (tho i do have an alternate xp grind idea but will explain later). Once they grow grab the fruits of your labors and uhh.. oh my god.. they're so low quality they're like worthless, someone quickly! post the vomit emoji. but uhh yea until you get really high farming, the quality is literally worthless. Anyway quickly grab all your worthless potato's and replant them. Just a small note is that for whatever reason, xp is gained through planting not harvesting so uhh.. honestly if you really wanna, just buy every veggie from your local k-mart and plant them in your planters and instantly de-root them and plant them again. until you get max level i guess. (just note i havent tested that so if it dont work, it dont work.) Anyway Getting max level on farming is literally just you getting all your plants at max quality which is good for food i think. But yea uhh time for the most important skill..

Okay okay i return with the magical world of uhh... Metal working, this one is only kinda helpful. Honestly its just similar to machining, very boring. So first off lets list off your ingredients to make the perfect pasta, You need a large quanity of moolah, the bread, money, im talking about money. Go to the funny building upgrade man and buy roughly 3 gas furnaces. Once done go to the funny hardware store man who sells funny hardware store items and buy as much sand and as many gas tanks as humanly possible. Lastly you need to do the most horrible scary evil thing ever.. go back to being a homeless guy and collect some bottles. just the basic glass bottles and wine bottles, also glass shards. So once you have your bottles break them into glass shards, put them in your gas furnaces after filling them with the tanks and start making glass panes, yea thats what you're gonna be doing for the next like 20 days. The perks to getting a high metalworking skill is that your stuff that you make has a lowered chance of failing and potentially when more stuff gets added, a higher quality to the stuff that you make. From my experience its the best way to level metalworking, good luck.

Alrighty kiddos so this one is gonna be a uhh triple threat combo sorta dealio since they're quite easy to level together. To list what you will need for this experiment you're gonna need roughly 3 mashing kettles, 3 brewing kettles and uhh honestly atleast 2 of the medium distilling stations. All of these can be bought by John OpenSewer, the man who upgrades your dingy motel. Next go to your farm from like 3 chapters ago and make a metric ton of carrots and mushrooms. Next you'll be getting as many 20L containers as possible and filling them with water, once you have 1 - 2 wooden chests of 20L containers you may start the slow slow slow slow slow slow slow process. Firstly in the process you will be creating mash, which requires hops and malts and a bunch of other annoying to obtain stuff so lets cheat and just use mushrooms. Grab 16 carrots and 4 mushrooms along with a container full of water, put that in the mashing kettle and make mushroom carrot mash, the more mash you create the more xp you get from mashing. Higher level mashing will give you better and better mash that you can sell for a uhh.. negative profit from the barkeep. Next once your mash is finished you can grab it and put it in the brewing kettle and wait. Once done it can be put back into the container that should be left in the kettle and you'll have i think uhh.. mushroom carrot wine. This sells for close to nothing but gives you Brewing xp. A higher brewing level will give you higher grade alcohol made from brewing. Now this leaves you at a cross road. You can either use some of those Wine bottles from your metal working course and bottle the wine which do note, Bottling any alcohol into wine is the best version of said alcohol money wise, it sells from the most if sold from a wine bottle compared to a 20L container and if you put it in the container and wanna sell, tough luck. there is no current way to exchange the liquids between two containers (as of writing this). Now lastly theres distilling, what you're gonna do now is grab roughly 3 empty containers, put them into a distillery, do the same if you have a second one and then put in a 20L container of some random alcohol you made. This will distill the alcohol and once done will give Methanol, Carrot mushroom moonshine and if it fails uhh.. i dont remember the name but its nothing good. Completing this process will give you Distilling xp. A higher distillery level does uhh.. nothing actually. A higher distilling level currently gives you higher grade alcohol but the main issue is that no matter what you do, since the medium distillery only gives 75% efficiency and theres no better distillery, You will NEVER (as of writing this) get a higher profit from distilling alcohol compared to just selling it after the brewing process. So in short, make mash, brew mash, either sell the brew for money or distill the brew for distilling xp.

Alrighty you fine little guys, you beautiful little gumdrops. Now that you've made the best alcohol you can with your tiny little hands and stuff, time to learn how to max the drinking skill. now im not gonna sugar coat it, this skill is quite new and i have no clue what having a higher level in it actually does. But uhh leveling it is somehow the easiest in the game so we can make this short. all you're gonna need to do is go to the alcohol seller and buy the worst alcohol possible, like the lower the alcohol level the better. Next you're gonna go home and chug it. You obtain drinking xp from drinking alcohol wow what a surprise. It doesnt matter the alcohol level, as long as you're drinking booze you'll get xp. If you have enough low tier booze you can get from level 0 - level 10 in literally like a few minutes of chugging the F tier booze. Warning. This method ONLY works on extremely low tier alcohol. Do know that drinking in the game has potentially fatal mechanics that arent told to you directly. The higher the alcohol level of a drink the more drunk you can get, Being drunk though has a limit though luckily huh, lucky for you. Now the issue is that drunkenness may have a limit, but uhh the extremely radioactive level of alcohol poisoning doesn't. What this means is that if you drink enough alcohol you will pass out, you pass out much faster drinking high alcohol level booze compared to low alcohol level booze. You may think that the amount of time you're knocked out is random, it is not. The amount of time you're knocked out is completely based on how much your alcohol level is and do note, if high enough you will be asleep for so long that you will die in your sleep from starving, dehydration or both. So take that into consideration before leveling the drinking skill since i dont want my students to die, i cannot afford to be sued right now. Anyway that is it for now. I will update this later on when more skills get added that are dare i say, actually worth leveling up.
