Not sure if its faster but its damned fast to get a legendary clerk if you have your record keeping settings set to highest precision.

I received pretty much the same thing with my clerk. I just gave my legendary miner/ex mayor a permanent job as a treasurer and he became a legendary clerk in just 2 seasons or so. I think it doesn't really matter, though. They update records pretty fast as it is.

Que up a lot of jobs in the manager (and I mean a lot)  And you can get leg organizer pretty quickly as well.

And Seige operator is SUPER easy, just wind them up, and let em go.  Takes longer, but you don't have to even touch em.

Yea, asfar as i'm concerned i think its all way too fast.
How would one make dwarfs require more xp to level?
(Thinking about making a fortress wich can only have 1 dwarf per profession and it wouldn't be much fun if they reached legendary in maximum a year.)

The clerk/manager skill is even faster if you're doing a lot of mouse mining designation while they're working.  Apparently, input while designating stuff makes certain things act as though time is passing.  Keyboard designation doesn't produce much input, but mouse movement produces an absolutely huge amount of input messages in comparison.  (I don't think the erroneous time passage happens only once per tile, but rather once per mouse-movement message, which can happen multiple times per tile.  Keyboard input messages, on the other hand, generally occur only a few times per many tiles, when you do larger rectangles.)

It's certainly cheating if you do it on purpose, but it is possible that some people have been doing it without realizing it, and wondering how it is that there clerk is gaining experience so quickly.

[Untelligent]

Huh. I always thought it was because people were keybinding the z-level-changing keys to , and . without rebinding the "go one step forward" key to something else and not realizing time was passing everytime they went down a level.

No, no, no. Your clerk levels up pretty darn fast, mostly because he sits there and does work constantly until the stocks are how you want them. Unlike crafters, he gains experience constantly instead of whenever an item is made, and he does not stop working for a split second regularly to pick up materials.

Pump operator takes a little while longer but requires zero attention on your part. Good for getting attributes up on dwarves destined for the military.

The job cancellation messages get very irritating quickly
