So all my attributes are pretty well even and after every time I gain some experience I get the ''you are unable to concentrate'' crap. Does this mean that I have to wait before I can advance any of my skills or just the one I am working on when I get the message?

You have to wait before advancing any skills ;)

Thats what I though but I was hoping it wasnt true. So its ''almost'' pointless to do anything if you are unable to learn while doing it. cuz you are jsut wasteing you resources then. ...I think I have wasted alot of metal then.

You obtain that item, so it isn't really a waste.

but i am making the item in hopes of improving because my items are really poorly made still and am gaining no skills, thus a waste of materials.

Anyways, new question. Is there anyway to rest so I can learn again or is it just logging off for a fw hours will do it?

Yeah... you can log off for a few hours.
OR! (and I know this is going to sound crazy in a role-playing game atmosphere like Illarion, but hear me through...) Or, you can stay in game and Role play with some other characters!!!!

as long as my concentration can ''recharge'' I will stay on but it sounded like rest was only recognized by loggong off and not playing for a little(hours) while

Nope. In fact, though this may have changed after the update and Gods know how many other changes, I believe it used to be that you actually were able to begin learning again in less time if you stayed in game. And longer if you logged off.

It still is that way, and its much faster than being logged out. I would advise against idling since you seem skill intent, if your character dies he/she isn't going to have any skill when you return after hours of being dead. Who better to murder and rob than an idle person? :wink:

well I dont actually sit idle I explore the map and hit people up for new supplies. Ofcourse even that can only use so much time. but thanks for the warning.
