The training yard

Teach and Train

The training yard lets veterans teach. A trainer takes the Teach order and a trainee the Train order. Each trainer takes 2 trainees, 3 with the Drill Manuals study.

• Who can teach: an exile with Combat Arts 3 or better, or a veteran at Flare or higher.
• How fast: 1 XP a week, or 2 with a trainer at Combat Arts 4 or at Beacon or higher.
• The cost: a trainer and a trainee do no other work that week.

The ceiling

Training never beats the field.

• Yard XP stops at Spark's threshold of 5 XP, or Flare's 25 XP with Drill Manuals. The ranks above come only from missions.
• Nobody is taught past their trainer's own XP.

What it is for: getting a new arrival to Spark without waiting for a mission, and keeping the benched from falling behind. A crown still wakes a recruit to Glimmer as before. See experience and ranks.

Drills

The older Drill order still works beside the yard: an exile with Combat Arts 4 or better drills another, who gains 1 primitive Aim a week, up to 5.
