So, we can't train skinning by doing arise on a corpse because it's "already skinned", but i just discovered we CAN train skinning by doing preserve, arranging 5 times, and then doing arise. is this intended?
They say we are what we are
But we don't have to be.
I'm bad behavior but I do it in the best way.

While I do not know whether this is an intended feature of the system or not, thank you for bringing it to our attention. I'll send it onward.

Not sure if it's intended, but it's always been this way. Not sure it's particularly useful - ARRANGE doesn't teach me a whole lot.
if you want to train Thanatology, PRESERVE (and ARRANGE FULL) then ARISE. If you want to train Skinning, HARVEST or PRESERVE then SKIN.

didn't think you could skin once it's harvested.

Harvest won't let you skin iirc. The point of harvest is to let you learn skinning on mobs that don't otherwise teach it, albeit at a trickle.
The main drawback of arise is you lose out on the value of the skin for skinnables. Speaking as someone that spent most of my circles hunting mobs that drop no loot, this is a pretty huge loss of income and enough of a drawback.

>Also, wasn't there an exp change recently where preserve/harvest/arise all give the same exp? Although I think they give varying DO so arise probably isn't needed anymore.
I don't think so? I think it was always the case that ARISE gives most Than, whereas HARVEST gives Skinning and Than, and PRESERVE gives Than and First Aid.
My Necro does ARISE to any non-skinnable critter he hunts, otherwise does PRESERVE and SKIN on something he can skin, unless Skinning is locked, then he ARISE's kills. I don't have a problem with DO from rituals, and I spend half my time hunting with Trans buffs up.

They all give the same amount of experience, IIRC. The difference is that preserve and harvest split that experience between two skills, whereas arise is pure Thanatology.
They did all get experience tweaks recently, but this was a buff to preserve/harvest (throwing a bone to noobcros) and a matching downtweak to arise to compensate for preserve.
