# Life Skills
Ten skills, each its own long road.
Every skill levels on its own. Fishing has a fishing level, cooking has a cooking level, and there is no single number that stands in for all of them.
Levels open real things. A crop you could not grow. A fish that will finally bite. A seam you can break, a recipe you can make, an animal you can keep.

## They lean on each other
A cook who never farms will stall. So will a smith who never mines. At a few points a skill waits for another to catch up, and the game tells you which one.
Going wide is usually faster than going deep.
## Coming later
Hunting, brewing and magic are planned. Nothing trains them yet, so they stay hidden rather than sitting on your page as bars that will not move.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.bloomshire.xyz/life-skills/index.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
