Better Learning--worth it or not?

Is the time it takes really worth it when it takes such a small percentage off?

  • *I* think so. :)

  • It takes quite a considerable amount of time off of each skill by the time you reach the end of the skill tree. Days, even. I think it's a good idea to learn them all early on, because the fifth one takes the longest of all the skills, and it can grow quickly. For the immediate time loss of a couple of days, you can shave a couple weeks off of your learning time in the end.

  • It's better than just the % it says in the description; it increases the amount of skills you can learn before learning times begin to increase (~8% longer per new skill learnt). It's pretty important to learn these ASAP due to that, if you care about getting the lowest possible learning times.

  • Yes, after the reset, I'm planning to really knuckle down and get all the BLs under my belt before venturing into other skills.

  • I'll definitely learn them earlier next time.

  • I did not think they were worthwhile, but actually going through them, it seems to be.

    If you get up to BL5, it takes a minimum of 19h off of Mining 4
    (345,600 seconds original learn time, minus 69,120s which equals 19 hours. well, 19.2)

    Then add into the case the fact that someone reminded me that the added time after Skill 10 is compounding, so taking time off at the start saves more time than you can possibly imagine, because that 5% is being added to a smaller number each and every time than it would have been otherwise.

    I won't be doing all of the better learnings first, but I will be doing the short ones right away, then switching off to one that I can earn enough with to get the emblems while the long BLs are running.
