If it doesn't, I'd suggest you to replace your current CheckSkill function calls with an universal one, in which you'd do multiply the given skillpoints.

Read more of the syshook here: http://docs.polserver.com/pol097/script ... hookScript.

These are the methods I'd use, if I were to speed up skillgains.

var global_multipliers := GetGlobalProperty( "SkillPointsMultiplier" );
	if( len(global_multipliers) )
		if( global_multipliers[skillid+1] )
			if( Cint(global_multipliers[skillid+1]) = 9999 )
				points := 0;
			else
				var mult := Cdbl( global_multipliers[skillid+1] );
				points := Cint( points * mult );
			endif
		endif
	endif

Unless you have re-written things, older cores and scripts you control skill gain through the CheckSkill function. Look for it in your scripts. Each script that wants to have skill gain uses it UNLESS you have written your own functions to handle skill gain. And a LOT of shards do just that - no idea if that includes ZH scripts which yours may be.

According to the documentation for pol095 the checkskill core function is:
CheckSkill(character, skillid, difficulty, points)

The 4th parameter is the one you want to play with - 'points'. I think you mention playing around with that. But you need to do it in every script, not just in one place.

You need to look at your scripts. Eg lumberjacking.src and figure out what line does the skillchecking. That line also says how many points to award towards the next actual gain in skill. Double what it has and test the results.

I know this seems vague and may be confusing. If you are using pol093 you are also in a situation where you are probably using a set of scripts from Zulu Hotel which as you probably know used a core that was never meant to be used - officially pol went from 092 to 094 and only those who have done ZH scripting will fully know how it does things. Since I am on pol097 I can only speculate about life in 093 land.

if( CheckSkill( character , SKILLID_LUMBERJACKING , -1 , DEFAULT_POINTS ) )
		GetStuff( character , logamount , tool ); 
	else
		SendSysmessage( character , "You fail to find any usable wood." );
		return 0;
	endif
