I am trying to level up Potion Utilization beyond the 70 learned via book by drinking potions. However, progress is either not occurring or is problematically slow. Just to verify, I do have extra action skill points, so it not limited by skills:
You would expect that drinking a potion would cause the experience here to go up, but that is not what you see. I've been trying to figure out what to do to make progress, but what I've found seems to suggest that something is wrong or unintended here. As far as I can tell, drinking potions does seem to level up the skill, but it does so in a way similar to the way that "Armor Training" only ticks the experience once every 30 seconds or so. But the rub is this: the experience update tick appears to be on the order of HOURS. I saw my skill level jump from 72 suddenly to 79 after being on for a long time, repeatedly trying to test various potions. But what makes this particularly problematic is that, if you log out at any point during the hours-long update tick, all progress is lost (i.e., if you log back in later, no progress will have been made). This means, unless you are on the game for many hours at a time, it is impossible to level up the skill.
It may be that I have misjudged some mechanic here, which I would be happy to know if this is the case. However, nothing I've done so far (including using homemade vs in-game potions, or making sure that I healed when I drank a potion) causes the XP to tick except in the manner I mentioned earlier. Would love either some input on this issue, or to see this fixed ASAP.
