The boards have lists with a bunch of numbers next to each skill... What does each number mean? How do I know when something branches? So confusing. Also in terms of the ingame skill list is the noivce-master label relative or absolute? Like if I am a ranger my shield use has a lower cap than a warriors. A warrior can become a master at it because he can reach the highest cap. Can a ranger become a master at it according to his cap or the max cap? Because if a skill maxes a journeyman I wouldent want to keep training that skill.  |

You train by using. So in order to stop training a skill you'd have to stop using it. If you're not going to use a skill there's really no point in training it at all. Except if you need to branch something off it.

0-20: Novice
20-40: Apprentice
40-60: Journeyman
60-80: Advanced
80-100: Master
They are absolute, not relative; all characters receive dual wield, for example, but not everyone will be able to raise it past apprentice.
Also, some skills are useful even at low levels. Subdue, climb, direction sense, forage and the like function quite well even at lower levels.

(st=10, max=80, min_mana=0, go on=0)
What do the numbers mean after a skill? When does it branch?

"st=10" This skill starts at 10.
"max=80" This skill caps out at 80
"min_mana=0" Probably something to do with mana. Of no consequence if you're mundane.
"Go on=0" This skill branches at this number. Skills that don't branch are at 0, but some of the lists say "Go on=80" or some nonsense, even though they don't branch at all. Or I could be remembering that totally wrong, and I don't feel like going back to read the lists. :x
With the skill progression being novice apprentice journeyman advanced master, I can only assume that novice is 0-20, apprentice is 21-40, journeyman is 41-60 and so on.
Though someone correct me if I'm wrong. I stopped playing a good while before this data was available to me. :x
