Trainers

Even the most seasoned adventurers need training to improve themselves, while those new to adventuring need to learn the basics of battle, weapons, and magic. For this reason, there are trainers for fighting and magical skills found spread across the lands of Britannia. Some train in dexterity, others in strength or combat finesse, and a rare few teach the magical arts. Wise travellers will compare prices and training methods of the trainers, in order to find which of them best fit ones needs.

Trainers in the mystic arts are rare in Britannia, and are mostly elderly mages with lots of experience, so their prices tend to be high. The results, however, are well worth the investment.

History
The concept of using trainers to improve skills came into being very late in the series, starting with Ultima VII.
