The section on 'raising the skill & experience gains' is no longer accurate. It can take well over 20 swings to get a single skill-up. For example, going from skill 76 to 77 took me 33 swings. Going from skill 160 to 161 took 50 swings

Also experience is not fixed at 4% per level. At level 7, going from skill 77 to 78, I gained 8% of a level (327 experience).

At level 15, going from skill 160 to 161, I gained 9% of a level (2290 experience).

It seems likely now that the number of swings needed to skill up increases with your skill and that experience is set something closer to 8% per level.
