{{user commentary|
Skills like Learning, [[Eagle Eye]], and [[Mysticism]] aren't loved very much by the majority of players. They aren't bad themselves, but the number of secondary skills is limited, while some of them are just vital, and absence of e.g. [[Wisdom]] or [[Earth Magic]] makes a hero significantly weaker, especially in the endgame. However, for a hero who is not a "number one", is rarely involved into major battles, and has a task chiefly to collect resources and summon troops, Learning is a good skill. He or she will rush between levels faster than usually, and will increase [[primary skill]]s rather quick, which is important for unexpected battles (e.g. when a town is sieged and the main hero is far away, ability to throw a powerful [[Magic Arrow]] or to accumulate 30-40 [[spell point]]s does a good job). {{hota}}{{-wh}}'s [[Kinkeria]] may be used as the main hero, as she will get experience very fast, soon becoming really strong.

A major flaw of Learning is that experience points increase is very slow, while range between experience points needed for every new level is increasing throughout the game. If a hero were to have expert level of Learning from the beginning of the game, when the hero reaches 230,000 experience points, a hero without the skill would have achieved 200,000 points. This would mean that the first hero is on level 26 and the second on level 25, which is only a one-level difference.

In {{hota}}{{-wh}} (v. 1.7.2) the bonuses have been drastically increased and it now grants an additional level upon learning/advancing the skill, meaning the hero with it will very quickly become strong, though still at the cost of sacrificing a skill slot.
Note, however, that the instant level-up also increases experience requirement, so the advantage will still be represented mostly by extra Primary skills and [[Specialty]] bonus in addition to quicker access to quests requiring you to reach a certain level, rather than learning Secondary skills quicker.
