What Skill is
Each bounce gives +1 Skill at the basic rate. Note Skill before a throw and after it ends. If the gain is larger than the bounce count, a pad, pet, Friend Boost, or timed chip is active. The game does not publish a Skill-to-meters formula. Your own repeatable distance is the measurement that matters.
Pads you can stand on
The training area has colored pads labeled with Skill multipliers. Stronger pads can show rebirth-count icons and a LOCKED label. Standing next to a locked pad does not activate it. Use a pad your account shows as open, then watch Skill and the Level bar.
These readings come from single sessions, not from a published unlock table:
| What was seen | What it does not prove |
|---|---|
| A +3 float near a pad labeled 1x Skill, with other effects also on | That every 1x pad gives +3 |
| A 4x Skill throwing station described as locked until two rebirths | That two rebirths unlock every stronger pad |
| An unlocked 10x Skill platform in one session | The rebirth count required for 10x |
| Shop cards labeled 15x Skill Golden Zone and 50x Skill Admin Zone | That those paid zones are the same as map pads |
Golden and Admin Skill zone cards are Shop purchases. Rebirth-locked pads are signs in the training area. A September 30 session that had just entered Pirate World also saw 50x and 100x throwing stations there. Those are later-map signs from that session, not the same thing as a 1x pad or a paid zone. Read each one separately.
A fair training test
- Throw three times with the same stone, pets, and boost chips. Record distance and the zone.
- Train on an unlocked pad until the Level bar clearly moves.
- Throw three more times without changing equipment.
- If the result is muddy, repeat once before you buy anything.
A September 30 guide says Skill stops rising once you hit the level cap, and the percent under the Rebirth button tracks that cap. If the Level bar is full and Skill no longer moves, open Rebirth and read the requirement instead of grinding the same pad.
After a rebirth
The panel says Level and Skill reset. Go back to an unlocked pad and rebuild. Extra pads may still be locked. Measure distance again at a similar Level before you decide the rebirth helped.
