+===== Training, Critique, And Power Hour =====
+==== Keep Training As You Progress ====
+Training does not instantly raise a skill. Instead, a trainer gives you stored training for that skill. As you practice and earn normal skill progress, the stored training is consumed to provide bonus progress.
+Training is not a one-time task. Your stored training is gradually used up, so returning to qualified trainers throughout your adventures helps you continue improving efficiently. Train the skills you actively use, then keep practicing them in the world.
+==== Use Critique To Check Your Progress ====
+Ask a qualified trainer for a critique with ''NPCNAME, CRITIQUE [skill]'', or use the trainer's context menu. A critique tells you:
+  - Your current rank and progress toward the next rank.
+  - Whether your skill is below its potential.
+  - How much stored training you currently have for that skill.
+Use Critique regularly. If the trainer says you are not trained or only partly trained, it is a good reminder to train again before continuing a long practice session.
+==== Power Hour ====
+Power Hour is an automatic, account-wide bonus. When your account is eligible and one of its characters is in the game world, Power Hour begins and doubles all eligible skill gains for the next 60 minutes.
+An account can begin one Power Hour every 24 hours. The timer uses real elapsed time, so it continues while you are logged out and is shared by every character on the account. You will receive a message when Power Hour begins and ends.
+Power Hour only doubles skill gains that would normally be earned; the usual requirements for gaining a skill still apply. Make the most of it by practicing the skills you care about and keeping those skills trained.
