New page

'''Skills''' are the trainable disciplines at the heart of Primal Idle. Each runs from level 1 to 99 on its own [[Gameplay|experience curve]], and each offers actions that resolve on timers to produce resources and unlock further content. This page lists every skill in the game, grouped by role.

For how leveling and actions work in general, see [[Gameplay]].

== Gathering ==

Gathering skills need no material inputs — they turn time into raw resources that feed the rest of the game.

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Skill !! Role
