Field experience is converted to ranks every 200 seconds, with each skill having a separate 200 second timer. The amount drained is dependent upon a number of factors, including skillset, and the character's Wisdom. While not directly helpful, the character's Intelligence does play a part, as the amount converted to ranks is static, and Intelligence will increase the size of the experience pool, thus allowing for a longer time in which the skill can pulse. Field experience drain is no longer determined by a percentage base, thus you will learn the same amount for each pulse if you were at dabbling to if you were at mind locked. However, the field experience pool state is based on percentage. For example if your pool has 50 points available and you fill all 50, you will be mind locked, but if your pool has 100 points available, you would be at scrutinizing. But, if your pulse size is 5 points, in both situations you will convert 5 points to your skill. Under the old system, experience gain was based on a percentage of the pool size, that is no longer. It is recommended to keep a skill above learning to gain full experience conversion at every pulse.

Low Skill Bonus

For the first 50 ranks of secondary or 25 for tertiary skills, they are treated as if they were in the primary skillset for the purposes of experience conversion, regardless of the character's guild.
