Kenshi – Rapid Progression Guide
Starting
There are many starts, personally I prefer Nobodies every bit it gives y'all v members to start with. vii is the magic pose out of characters to receive got for fast progression thence starting amongst v is excellent. (If y'all receive got less than vii characters, y'all are easily political party wiped, in addition to if y'all receive got to a greater extent than than vii members it takes a lot longer to educate all your character’s combat skills). Keep inwards heed that y'all should receive got 2 shek, 1 Hive Warrior, in addition to the other 2 is upwards to you. If it were upwards to me 2 Shek, 2 Hive Warrior, 1 Hive Prince.
Reasons for starting this way: You desire to receive got plenty Sheks every bit they are genuinely proficient belatedly game for existence all to a greater extent than or less fighters. Hive Warriors are in all likelihood the strongest unit of measurement inwards the game correct at nowadays amongst 100 hp on limbs in addition to a whoopin 200 on head, they all the same receive got the racial combat speed bonus from existence Hive, really SLOW bleed charge per unit of measurement from existence Hive, in addition to has no existent weakness from existence Hive (which is unremarkably depression limb HP). 200 hp on caput is genuinely really proficient fifty-fifty though he can’t vesture a helmet (think of it similar this… he has twice the Hp thence that’s similar taking one-half harm to his head). Hive Prince is genuinely proficient for stealth, lockpick, assassination type things, in addition to gets bonuses to a LOT of skills. They are to a greater extent than frail than the Hive Warrior but he’ll practise merely fine belatedly game amongst some gear.
Location: Start at Hub, if y'all don’t start at Hub, brand a NEW GAME repeatedly until y'all start at Hub. There are lots of locations that are impossible for y'all to live if y'all start there.
I was originally going to brand Youtube vids of this… I all the same might, but due to having existent life stuff similar work, I can’t brand the time… WAS going to brand a youtube channel amongst a whole gaming channel almost instant maxing for many many games… but eventually merely decided I desire to relish gaming in addition to non plough it into work. Sorries.
Squin: Athletics, Basic Gear, Money
Now that y'all started at Hub, y'all run your v individual grouping to Squin, brand for sure y'all avoid bandits along the way. At this betoken everything inwards the game tin kill you. Just run run run run run in addition to and thence RUN.
SQUIN:
Three things to practise hither at Squin before moving on.
Find the acre of Iron (3 worker slots) in addition to Copper (2 worker slots) northward of Squin. Work at that topographic point to larn both Fe in addition to copper in addition to sell them inwards Squin for coin (cats is the currency name) in addition to purchase ONLY Dried Meat (most coin efficient food). You tin automate this procedure yesteryear belongings Shift in addition to and thence correct clicking on those patches to assign Jobs to your characters thence that they volition automatically mine the copper/iron. You merely receive got to plough off jobs to live able to command them 1 time to a greater extent than in addition to accept them to Squin to sell off their heavy loads for nutrient in addition to cats.
1. Athletics: In the get-go don’t accept a total load… merely some in addition to larn laid out that nutrient thence your characters don’t starve. Also since this trend volition eventually give y'all some savings, y'all volition desire to run your characters to a greater extent than or less thence they larn some decent Athletics (20+).
2: Basic Gear: Once y'all are able to practise that, y'all tin maintain doing multiple total charge trips to Squin amongst Iron in addition to Copper in addition to solely purchase Dried Meat… this should start accumulating money. Spend coin buying these items for your crew:
a. Samurai Clothpants (ONLY THE CLOTH), they practise non ho-hum y'all down, they practise non lower whatever of import stats similar athletics, combat speed, dexterity, or dodge. DO NOT purchase anything that lowers these stats!.
b. One Shek should purchase a Plank. (This is for preparation Heavy Weapons skills to larn ready for Falling Lord's Day belatedly game.)
c. Give your characters leather shirts (Hive characters can’t vesture them). It’s ok to larn shirtless on Hive characters for now… nosotros volition gear them soon.
d. Don’t pass also much here… merely larn VERY BASIC protection thence the characters aren’t taking total damage. Since y'all already receive got no toughness to start you’re genuinely taking additional harm per hitting that y'all take, having SOME protection tin help. You also don’t desire anything heavy since at this phase your characters don’t receive got the strength to vesture heavier armor without existence encumbered. Being encumbered inwards fights tin larn y'all killed early on.
e. I would larn a trader’s backpack (wooden backpack that lets y'all stack items nine per stack), in addition to a Large Backpack (large plenty to pose long/heavy weapons similar planks within them). That’s all y'all demand at this point: 2 packs, 1 of each type. I would store nutrient similar dried meats within the wooden pack, in addition to extra weapons inwards the Large Backpack. For at nowadays pose the Plank inwards there.
3: Money: I would salvage upwards coin hither inwards Squin until y'all receive got to a greater extent than or less 30,000 cats. This shouldn’t accept also too long in addition to trust me it volition live worth it. Once y'all receive got 30,000 cats larn to Hub again.
Optional: If y'all run into groups of garrus or goats moving close Squin, I would assail them unprovoked, in addition to and thence RUN similar hell to the guards at the gate to kite them into the guards. The guards volition kill the goats in addition to Garrus in addition to y'all tin in addition to thence harvest them for meat. Build a campfire far plenty away from Squin in addition to y'all tin relish loads in addition to loads in addition to loads of meat.
Optional: Any Hungry Bandits in addition to Dust Bandits could also live kited into the guards at the gate inwards Squin, in addition to y'all may fifty-fifty select to struggle at that topographic point every bit the struggle volition live inwards your favor amongst the guards there. Just brand for sure to salvage before thence y'all don’t larn accidentally political party wiped. This tin assist speed upwards the procedure of gaining some toughness, but it’s 1 time to a greater extent than optional in addition to non the chief focus hither at this stage.
Recommended: I would recruit Ruka here, she is literally gratuitous if y'all merely beak to her almost existence cool she didn’t receive got horns in addition to that she likes to struggle in addition to evidence herself. H5N1 Free Shek! This volition convey your political party pose out upwards to 6.
Cool Tip: To foreclose existence political party wiped, here’s a squeamish tip… y'all should stealth (hide) 1 of your political party members exterior of the arrive at of the fight. This “stealth” graphic symbol should receive got medkits in addition to live able to stealth rescue whatever downed members after the struggle in addition to for inwards example all your fighting members larn down. Another alternative is to receive got the entire political party live far from the enemy “camp” in addition to receive got a fast (high athletics) graphic symbol amongst no encumbrance sew together to the enemy to line aggro, in addition to describe them to your party. This trend if y'all practise larn “wiped” they won’t stand upwards on meridian of your downed members in addition to instead volition eventually larn dorsum to their military camp which allows your political party to larn dorsum upwards in addition to heal.
Explanation of preparation order: If y'all receive got depression athletics y'all can’t educate strength efficiently because y'all volition live walking slower piece overloaded. The to a greater extent than y'all walk piece overloaded the faster your strength increases… thence yep that’s sort of of import to bird Athletics foremost thence that y'all tin larn Strength faster.
You desire Strength before y'all larn Dexterity because of 2 facts almost this game (1. If y'all are overloaded your powerfulness to work Dexterity or struggle “fast” is going to live reduced or affected yesteryear the weight y'all carry, thence it is improve to receive got high strength foremost thence that y'all CAN deport weapons in addition to gear in addition to receive got things inwards your equipment without existence weighted downwards due to having higher carrying capacity) (2. Fighting harder enemies raises your stats faster, but that also agency y'all volition demand things similar to a greater extent than gear or armor, which all weighs y'all down… thence strength volition assist compensate 1 time again.)
You desire Toughness foremost before raising dodge/melee defense forcefulness all the way, because if y'all raised both Melee Defense AND Dodge in addition to prioritized those over Toughness y'all volition live much harder to larn hitting in addition to that makes leveling Toughness genuinely slow. You desire to accomplish bird 50 on toughness foremost piece leveling something similar melee defense, in addition to thence eventually switch over to martial arts to heighten dodge piece existence “Unarmored/naked” thence that you’re 1 time once to a greater extent than preparation your Toughness along amongst your Dodge.
Finally almost Armor (Start amongst really LIGHT armor that doesn’t weigh y'all downwards in addition to solely larn heavier armor 1 time y'all receive got strength to compensate for the weight, THEN 1 time y'all receive got toughness 50 or higher, larn dorsum to easier locations in addition to larn NAKED MARTIAL ARTS in addition to educate dodge in addition to toughness fifty-fifty higher WITHOUT GEAR ON, in addition to and thence 1 time y'all receive got Dodge 50+ in addition to INSANE Toughness (80+) You tin larn naked martial arts inwards places similar Arach (later department inwards this guide) in addition to larn laid out your ultimate Sensei Senpai, Bug Master.
With fighting high halt “bosses” similar Bug Master y'all desire to live fully geared out, amongst your best weapon, in addition to best gear (masterwork heavy armor or something), thence that y'all tin guarantee the win… Bug Master is a total beast in addition to totally worth getting to assist y'all educate your squad to perfection.
Hub Again: Shinobi Thieves = Lockpicking Skill + Katanas
At this betoken amongst 30,000 cats y'all tin pay the fee of 10,000 cats to bring together the Shinobi Thieves. Do it, it is thence worth it for what you’re getting out of it.
Here’s what y'all already receive got at this point:
– Decent running speed from Athletics 20+ (You desire to remain unencumbered when y'all move thence y'all tin run away from scary things… solely deport some nutrient in addition to bandages)
– Your characters receive got some decent strength (around 20? don’t worry if it is non at 20, but you’ve definitely already built some strength previously) carrying Fe in addition to copper dorsum in addition to forth to Squin from the spot northward of squin amongst v workslots inwards those veins. (You should also already receive got the 2 backpacks I mentioned for your party’s needs).
– You at nowadays receive got 20,000 cats to spend.
Here’s what y'all purchase from Shinobi Thieves 1 time y'all bring together them:
– You purchase whatever in addition to all katana cast weapons y'all discovery hither for your characters. Every graphic symbol should larn one. Does non affair what quality… if it is a Nodachi, Wakizashi, Ninja Blade, Katana, or whatever it is, it doesn’t matter, merely larn 1 for each inwards your party. (Katana cast weapons are the fastest weapons inwards the game in addition to are lite weapons which agency they are the best weapons to bird upwards your Dexterity with). If y'all receive got Ruka, you’ll demand 6. I’d larn vii at this betoken for your hereafter recruit. They won’t receive got plenty inwards 1 larn thence you’ll receive got to larn dorsum to squin for nutrient in addition to to a greater extent than coin in addition to come upwards dorsum to Hub for to a greater extent than katana cast weapons.
– You desire to maintain a unopen center on Assassin’s Rags. Buy these for your Hive characters. You tin also purchase these for your other characters. The argue is this: Assassin’s Rags are lightweight, bonuses to stats that are amazing (Combat speed, Dodge, Dexterity, Melee assail bonus)… All of these stats are amazing to receive got on whatever item, in addition to having all of them on 1 item??? BUY IT!!
– Eventually y'all volition discovery those wooden sandals that also give to a greater extent than combat speed in addition to athletics, BUY THOSE or loot them when y'all discovery them!
You may demand to larn dorsum to Squin oft to larn to a greater extent than coin in addition to food… but inwards the meantime this is our adjacent goal…
Train Lockpicking to twenty for all your characters or at to the lowest degree 1 character, in addition to 10 for the rest. We volition live needing this science for the adjacent purpose thence it is really of import to receive got lockpicking up.
IF your characters all the same don’t receive got v melee assail yet, educate this hither every bit well. AND also y'all may educate 1 graphic symbol for Assassination hither (if y'all ever desire to abduct enemies 1 yesteryear 1 to kill them separately from the group… it’s a cheesy trend to play but it works… I recommend the Hive Prince for this role).
After nosotros receive got twenty Lockpicking on at to the lowest degree 1 graphic symbol (ideally everyone), AND nosotros receive got assassin’s rags, AND nosotros receive got katanas on everyone… nosotros volition live heading to the … FOG. Yup. Highly efficient house to educate if y'all know what y'all are doing.
Cool Tip: One of the ways to brand some fights easier, peculiarly if y'all are fighting a military camp of something that receive got high stats (and mayhap depression numbers), it’s squeamish to receive got a stealthy graphic symbol amongst high Assassination live able to sneak upwards to a grouping in addition to kidnap/assassinate some of their members 1 yesteryear 1 to convey them dorsum to your political party in addition to bargain amongst them 1 yesteryear 1 this way. This takes patience in addition to slows downwards the ‘speed run’ but is a squeamish trend to trim back the difficulty of a large grouping struggle yesteryear killing off some of their members individually in addition to thinning the herd.
Progression of Lockpicking: So start amongst the preparation boxes at the Shinobi Thieves inwards Hub, but 1 time y'all larn lockpicking to 20, it’s genuinely squeamish to larn to our adjacent finish inwards the FOG ISLANDS because there’s plenty of places where y'all tin volunteer getting “locked” against those polls in addition to and thence y'all tin lockpick yourself out.
Don’t hold off until your political party is inwards problem in addition to everyone is existence locked upwards to educate it… merely accept turns telling your characters to larn on those polls in addition to receive got them practise their ain houdini escape tricks until they larn improve at lockpicking (30+), in addition to thence subsequently when y'all larn adventuring inwards search of Tech materials similar Ancient Books, AI Cores, in addition to Engineering Research, y'all volition receive got high plenty lock picking to start preparation on THOSE (Make whole squad lockpick them at the same fourth dimension for faster unlocking in addition to fifty-fifty lockpicking preparation for whole team).
Tactical Combat Tips
These tips volition significantly improve your powerfulness to “MACRO” your fights in addition to non receive got to worry almost every piffling detail.
In for sure scenarios that DO require Micro I typically solely receive got 1 graphic symbol selected for this purpose (usually my hive prince, who I yell after me, in addition to roleplay as)
– Keep healing items on ALL your characters. There is no “medic”, EVERYONE is a medic in addition to tin heal themselves. Especially if they larn knocked downwards they tin heal themselves before getting dorsum up. You practise NOT desire to live stuck after a struggle wondering where the medical supplies are piece 1 of your characters is almost to die.
– Make healing an automatic activeness after every struggle yesteryear having MEDIC every bit a JOB in addition to fifty-fifty if y'all plough off Jobs, Medic volition all the same live something that your characters volition practise when there’s someone inwards demand of healing.
– Healing is a post battle action. DO NOT HEAL DURING COMBAT. Trust me, having to a greater extent than people fighting agency faster victory in addition to y'all tin heal afterwards. (fighting piece injured is how y'all bird toughness anyway thence don’t live a weakling, hurting is the trunk telling y'all you’re weak… or something similar that :P).
– Make for sure at to the lowest degree 1 of your Sheks is fully armored in addition to has both a katana in addition to a falling sun. This configuration is God. This is what I’d telephone band an anchor tank inwards other games but basically this graphic symbol volition all the same live fighting when fifty-fifty all your other characters are unconscious, in addition to this graphic symbol volition live the 1 who volition mop upwards in addition to win the struggle at the halt for you. The unconscious political party members volition live healed yesteryear this graphic symbol in addition to gain their toughness for existence beaten unconscious.
– Keeping all your characters on hold, in addition to and thence luring solely some of the enemy (not the entire group) towards your political party volition assist y'all split upwards the enemy to “divide in addition to conquer”. I’d work a fast graphic symbol for this purpose similar Hive Prince. Keeping your political party on Hold makes it thence they won’t run at the enemy in addition to describe aggro from ALL the enemies inwards a room… instead line one-half of the room OUTSIDE where your political party is waiting. (this is peculiarly of import for fighting against Security Spiders).
– For enemies that come upwards dorsum upwards rapidly similar Spiders, Security Spiders, Beak Things, or whatever non-humanoid thing, y'all tin KILL them piece they are unconscious yesteryear removing Hide/Teeth/Electrical Components thence that they are DEAD in addition to can’t larn dorsum upwards again. Again, work 1 fast running graphic symbol for this during the struggle to larn to the enemies quickly. Pause the game when y'all opened upwards the inventory in addition to rip out the item to non waste materials combat time.
– For those of y'all who similar existence a ninja, work your ninja (hive prince?) to larn inwards in addition to abduct 1 target at a fourth dimension yesteryear using stealth in addition to assassination skill, in addition to and thence work the political party to struggle that 1 enemy in addition to kill/KO it before doing this 1 time to a greater extent than in addition to 1 time to a greater extent than to sparse downwards enemy numbers (similar to kiting/luring strategy).
– Keeping a “medic” away from the struggle (ninja stealthed) is OK, where y'all stealth in addition to 1 time your political party loses, y'all larn inwards amongst the stealth graphic symbol to heal everyone… I would tell this strat has high run a hazard of failure in addition to I don’t recommend it, but it is OK to work inwards some scenarios. I’d tell the improve sentiment is merely non lose inwards the foremost place??
– Adapt to the situation! Switch out dissimilar types of armor for dissimilar resistance types. If y'all are facing enemies amongst lots of cutting damage, in addition to thence larn for cutting resist on your armors… if y'all are facing blunt weapons, switch to armor that gives proficient blunt resistance! Also switch your weapons accordingly! If y'all are fighting Robots, work Hackers in addition to Falling Suns! If y'all are fighting cannibals or humans inwards full general work katanas in addition to sabers! Use what is effective against the enemy to give y'all the upper hand!
– Finally, if y'all KNOW y'all volition lose a fight, RUN! Seriously, there’s no shame inwards NEVER LOSING H5N1 FIGHT… can’t lose a struggle if y'all run away right? That’s how y'all win every fight… solely struggle when y'all know y'all tin win 😛 Kenshi is genuinely punishing when y'all lose a fight… sometimes political party wipes tin live permanent every bit someone powerfulness go inwards a coma in addition to and thence mayhap they driblet dead piece everyone is unconscious… OR cannibals, fogmen, spiders, nib things, wolves volition merely EAT YOU ALIVE. SO yeah, don’t lose fights… Run if y'all receive got to.
Midgame: Arach
I tin listen y'all yell for me “ARE YOU NUTS?”
Yeah I am! I hateful I did brand this guide after spending hundreds of hours restarting a game repeatedly trying to figure out the fastest trend to progress.
SO I’m assuming you’ve done 1 or all of the 3 choices I gave you. You are in all likelihood ready to settle down.
The fastest trend frontwards is to settle somewhere decently unopen to Arach. You desire to convey amongst y'all some edifice materials, some Fe plates, in addition to every bit many BOOKS every bit y'all tin purchase before doing this… Oh in addition to some electronic components (easily done when y'all merely take away take hold of them off of robot spiders). You volition demand the corresponding nutrient types that y'all desire to farm… similar convey plenty wheat, in addition to whatever other food/hemp/cotton y'all demand to query in addition to grow. Hemp is easier to grow than Cotton is inwards drier climates inwards this game. Obviously y'all desire to convey your ancient books amongst the regular books y'all buy. It’s e'er a hurting to larn in addition to store for stuff y'all demand 1 time y'all settle thence I tend to merely convey EVERYTHING I demand in addition to merely settle inwards 1 go, in addition to larn straightaway for tier vi amongst everything I need. (Trader/wooden backpacks genuinely really help).
Use the Prospect tool to hold off at resources available. I similar to settle either westward of Arach close the coast Or South West. Just brand for sure y'all don’t settle within Shek or Empire owned territory thence y'all don’t receive got to pay taxes or whatnot.
- 1. I’d construct rock extractor
- 2. Build a refinery to brand edifice materials
- 3. Build a small-scale shack
- 4. Build a query bench inwards small-scale shack (and larn to researching asap, focus on teching UP to higher tiers).
- 5. Build a metallic refinery thing to brand Fe plates adjacent to an Fe node.
- 6. Research storage…. construct some for those edifice materials in addition to Fe plates.
- 7. Upgrade to a larger edifice in addition to brand a bird 2 query bench (which y'all volition continuously bird upwards to higher tech).
- 8. Research in addition to construct your farm, in addition to the stuff required for making bread. Use Bread to feed yourself until y'all tin larn a cooking station, batteries, windmills, in addition to whatever recipe you’re going to work to alter those breadstuff into other things that are to a greater extent than nutritious.
- 9. Once y'all receive got the proficient nutrient existence produced consistently (gohan, dustwich, or foodcube) (I all the same don’t know how to practise meat wrap consistently… similar I don’t bother raising animals for the meat… also much work) y'all tin in addition to thence ready the most of import argue y'all larn this settlement.
- 10. medical production!… Make medical bandages that y'all demand to heal yourself! Keep producing this! This is the chief argue y'all settle close Arach!
Once y'all receive got this existence produced in addition to laid up, brand a repair bed for Burn if y'all receive got him, if not, go on to saving upwards lots of foremost assistance related items AND store upwards lots of food. Right before y'all are ready to go, brand vii bedrolls in addition to dorsum everything upwards in addition to larn ready to genuinely GRIND!
Bring food, medical foremost assistance stuff, bedrolls in addition to caput into Arach to struggle those endless amounts of spiders! Work on whatever stats y'all similar at this point… this is merely the PERFECT spot to grind stats. You also desire to mayhap larn away from fourth dimension to fourth dimension in addition to pose downwards the bedrolls to heal from sleeping (sleeping heals y'all faster!). Keep inwards heed those Desert Sabres from before that nosotros bought inwards Mongrel? Use them here, Desert Sabers practise to a greater extent than harm to spiders.
This is where I grind my characters upwards to 80+ stats inwards everything. When y'all experience ready in addition to when y'all tin literally grip hordes of these spiders without breaking a sweat, y'all larn to discovery the Bug Master.
The Bug Master has maxed out stats… he has 99 inwards everything. He is a GOD. And that makes him live best graphic symbol y'all tin ever Abduct. Yes… Abduct.
Because similar inwards my foremost guide? You abduct an enemy in addition to maintain him inwards a cage in addition to accept him out for preparation time? The Bug Master is your bird 99 maxed out preparation partner. DO IT! Get everything Maxed out for your vii characters!
Then plough him inwards to Admag in addition to the Stone Golem (The Queen of the Shek who sounds similar she’s got a caput on her shoulders according to her lore in addition to what every shek says almost her…) volition give y'all her… hold off for it… DAUGHTER! Yay! Now y'all larn the Shek Princess 🙂
You’ll receive got to educate her of course, but she’s your eighth fellow member so, it shouldn’t live also hard at this betoken to struggle spiders inwards Arach until she’s upwards to snuff.
At this betoken this guide kinda ends… I hateful y'all tin larn upwards northward to kill Leviathans merely for fun or destroy the faction filled amongst racist pigs called The HOLY Nation if y'all want.. hell, accept their leader in addition to plough him inwards to Admag in addition to run into what happens? DO y'all larn to conjoin the Stone Golem herself? Who knows… I never got that far because to a greater extent than or less the fourth dimension I larn the Bug Master, I bow to the Bug Master in addition to tell “thank y'all sensei” in addition to I start a novel game to run into if I tin practise all this FASTER.
How many days (in the game there’s a 24-hour interval counter) did it accept for y'all to capture the Bug Master? Post your tape times inwards the comments to this guide. I promise I didn’t ruin this game for you… yeah… sad if I did. But seriously this is honestly the fastest progression road I tin come upwards up amongst after hundreds of hours.
Ranged Weapons
The argue I mainly work solely melee builds for my “rapid progression” guide is because of the fact that I’m using solely vii characters to maximize their preparation speed for all their skills in addition to stats.
Ranged fighting is best amongst larger political party sizes where y'all receive got plenty arrows or darts or whatever to kill enemies outright before they tin larn to your party. Ranged weapons suck inwards … melee. Big surprise.
With that said fifty-fifty Ranged Weapons are proficient for specific situations inwards a small-scale political party scenario. I would work 1 of those rifles that hitting the hardest but fires slow on your Hive characters… inwards particular Hive Workers for situations where y'all are non going to desire them inwards the frontlines. Situations similar fighting Leviathans or genuinely hard hitting enemies. You all the same desire to bird upwards their toughness but for some of these scenarios it’s wiser merely to permit your tanky characters accept the hits. You tin bird upwards toughness on easier opponents that don’t receive got the run a hazard of taking out a limb inwards 1 shot.
Ranged Weapons are definitely an payoff for a lot of situations but they receive got the describe dorsum of needing ammunition AND they also suck inwards melee, AND they larn far thence that you’re using less characters inwards melee thence that weakens your frontline.
That’s why I prefer non to work Ranged. (I receive got this preference every bit good inwards Mordheim City of the Damned, haha, in addition to it is the same reason, taking away from your frontline makes it weaker in addition to ranged suck vs melee thence melee unremarkably merely wins over ranged UNLESS y'all larn FULL RANGED in addition to endeavour to kill things before they tin accomplish y'all yesteryear 1 shotting them. This is hard to practise every bit a rapid progression, instant maxing instrumentalist every bit ranged weapons are to a greater extent than of a luxury than a staple in addition to y'all receive got to REALLY SPECIALIZE to larn proficient work out of them.
