Skills are divided in a few categories. There are skills related to rice cultivation, fighting skills and raiment skills.

Unlocking Skills[edit]

Farming Skills[edit]

Farming skills are unlocked merely by repeating related activities. Experience is untracked and at certain thresholds a new skill will unlock.

Fighting/Raiment skills[edit]

To unlock fighting and raiment skills, rice must reach certain stats. The rice stats are converted into Sakuna's but not immediately applied to Sakuna's current status until the harvest is complete. The skills only look at the expected converted value. Here is a table explaining the process. You can see which skills you're close to obtaining by looking at the harvest report.

Rice Stat Conversion Example Rice Stat Example Sakuna Stat
Taste (Strength) Taste/10 799 80
Hardness (Vitality) Hardness/10 751 75
Stickiness (Gutso) Stickiness/100+100 693 106
Aesthetic (Luck) Aesthetic/10 1196 120
Aroma (Magic) Aroma/10 600 60
