# Life Skills

Five skills, each with its own progression, resources, trainer, and weekly leaderboard.

**Fishing · Cooking · Mining · Woodcutting · Faith**

Every gather action is 2 energy. XP is tracked separately from your combat level.

Faith works differently from the other four: bury bones anywhere you find them, or offer relics at an altar for Faith XP and Faith Points.

## Why they matter beyond

The five life-skill leaderboards reset weekly and feed the revenue share. The main leaderboard, ranked on Estova Points, does not reset, that is your permanent standing.

Double-XP potions are available from the shop from level 5, capped per player per week, with a 24-hour trade cooldown before they can move player-to-player.
