If a wrestler has mining turned on, and is sparring with a pick, does he gain mining experience also?

If so, stat increases could happen faster.

What would you do if seven small, beared men marched into your home and started to dig out a city in your basement?

Actually, upon further tests, it seems like having dwarves spar to gain mining skill is ineffective, because they gain wrestling skill MUCH more quickly (62 mining exp to 3,956 wrestling exp, for example).

I'll use a pick in advent mode just for fun and it does increase the mining skill even for an adventurer.

Picks have a major crit bonus on them, so even though they don't do serious damage, they still kill just as easily by gouging out internal organs and whatnot, a bit like bolts and arrows do.

Next experiment: hunting with picks. Because now you have a really good use for your legendary but out-of-work miners.
