I have a question and a problem! I have 2 older adept builders that the skill levels should be master builders! The level is just about full and it still says adept builder!! Do they stop advancing in skill level after a certain age! I really need help on this one because I only need one more master builder to open the crate! I have tried to get the other "younger" adept builders to become master builders but there is nothing left to build! I keep them all fixing huts and nothing is changing! I'am so frustrated!! Please help !

they keep advancing

it just takes a long long time to hit master builder

don't give up!

(remember, if it were easy, you would get bored!)

I understand that but why havent the 2 older "adept builders skill levels changed? The levels are at the same as my other 2 master builders?!

i think there are minute variations in exactly when any given villager will reach master

the bar ticks are very very general....butif they are at the same level, then they should become masters very very soon

I had the same problem with my builders. I read a post from Lady CFII that said they advance quicker if you close the game for a while instead of having it open constantly. It worked!!!! Within an hour of closing the game I went back and found I had master builders

also, while its closed you can think of other things and it won't drive you so batty!

Ok, now I have a 51 yr old woman, and I have set her to parenting. She sure si spending a lot of time in the shack... but still waiting for her to get her master status. Shutting down and hoping with some privacy she will work on her skills.

good luck

I have the same problem. I closed the game yesterday and have checked off and on and still waiting for him to hit master builder. It is driving me crazy. My two others are now getting grey hair. I suppose they will die before this guy hits master. He is even the only one building the hut right now. It is really getting on my nerves. I am usually pretty patient with this game, but this part is terrible.

do you have all of your medicine tech levles so they will live longer?

(and their hair turns grey at the same age no matter the medicine tech level)

no, tech 2 in all catergories.

keep an eye on him

put him on fixing huts (nothing that requires a lot of walking) and as soon as he gains skill, pick him up and drop him again
