I axed off a mamoths leg then pulled out its tusk and i went from competent wrestler to legendary wrestler and [i didn't have the fighting skill]no skill to legendary fighter so is it meant to go up so damn fast?

No, your game must be broken.


Honest answer: Maybe mammoths are worth a lot of XP?

[Urist mc.miner]

Thats funny..Im using a version that i recently downloaded off of THIS website so maybe it just glitched?

While you "axed off its leg and pulled out its tusk", did you have hundreds of pages of combat log building up to those key events? Or were they the first 2 actions ever in the combat?

[Urist mc.miner]

Wait i think the mammoth broke my grip more than 24 times i remember now.and the mammoth fight was very long. [I threw so much snow at it]

[Psieye]

There's your answer then. Sure it's unrealistic to get so much skill improvement from 1 fight, no matter how long it is, but that'll be fixed when combat balance is tweaked. Currently, some modes of combat (wrestling, blunt damage, even piercing damage) have such low chances of fatalities that the fights drag on and since EXP is balanced for quick fatalities but gained for practising skills (so every swing or punch) you have these illogical outcomes.

It's something of a known oddity dealing with wrestling with very strong creatures - for example, allowing a bronze colossus to perform one wrestling move on you will give you about 25,000 experience points for both the Wrestler and Fighter skills, enough to take you straight from Dabbling to Legendary+3.
