You can double your imping skill gains in Wurm Online, above the bonuses from sleep bonus and other skilling bonuses, by imping items above your “sweet spot”.
You will gain 2x the skill imping items at or above the “sweet spot” quality. This doesn’t happen every tick, but maybe 1 in every 4.
The sweet spot formula, for optimal skill gains while imping is:
Skill * 0.77 + 23
Getting an item into the “sweet spot” might be hard for newcomers. Ask a neighbor or alliance member to make or imp an item for you.
Since it’s much harder to imp an item 10-15 points above your skill, the “sweet spot” is much more effective about 57 in skill.
