A “skiller” in Wurm Online is a low quality tool with a higher CoC cast. For instance, a 1ql hatchet with a 99 strength CoC cast.
The lower quality of the tool increases the difficulty and length of certain actions. Both difficulty and action length will increase your skill gains. And of course, we all should know that a CoC enchant increases skill gains, the higher the better.
Not all tools should be skillers. Skillers don’t really work on imping tools. The quality of your improvement tools should be around your improvement skill. (e.g. a weaponsmith with 50 skill should have imping tools around 50ql.)
Skillers are great for gathering tools: pickaxe, shovel, hatchet, rake, grooming brush, sickle, and more.
A great Woodcutting grind uses a higher QL hatchet for chopping down trees and a “skiller” hatchet for cutting up logs.
