[edit] Adventuring

If you want to play a dwarf, you should inform yourself about Crafting.

It is important to get Spoil and Sweeper skills as early as possible, as they give the opportunity to gather a lot of additional resources and allow to gain all 5 level 1 material recipes in the dwarven lands itself (as well as some level 2 materials recipes for future Warsmiths). You should not allocate any other skill before you don't have these two.

On lowlevel, it is possible to use Spoil as an Aggression skill to make the dwarf operate as a tank.
