Will fising huts every push someone up to Master status. I have a guy who is so close to becoming an elder, but we have built everything, he just needs a little more blue bar to become a master!! Can that happen by fixing huts, or not so much?

yes, it will help gain skill, but only fixing not examining. Watch him closely and as soon as it says, "....has improved at building", pick him up and drop him back on a hut and he will gain skill faster.

That's what I did with one of my builders. It took time and coddling (he tended to wander away easily, hehe) He was very close to being a master and with some time and close watching, I got him there just by fixing huts.

Theres also a stew that will help them earn building skill.

Which stew is that? I just reviewed the stew list and it isnt obvious which would do that.

I'd like to know that one as well. Could someone send us a PM? Pretty please.

What I have noticed at times with builders is you put them on a building and it says "examining hut". If you pick them up again and put them on the same building (may take a couple of tries) "fixing hut" will show.

Yes Charley, we reallllly want to know about that stew. I have made every stew there is but never noticed it helping with building skills.

Here is the combos:
The 2 "exercising" stews:
orange + red + red
or
red + red + red

When a villager finishes exercising, they may succeed in a building, it'll say so just below there action line. It works with kids too.
