Your skills define your character. They are the activities in which your character most often participates and, with enough practice, excels. Skills have a maximum trained value of 130, although they can go beyond that limit with rare magical items. Each time you use a skills, there is a chance it will increase. Many skills grant you a much better chance to increase if the attempt is difficult relative to it's current value.
You can quickly get a rudimentary amount of skills from a merchant. To train, say vendor train and the NPC will tell you how much it costs to advance in the skill. Then, just drag and drop the proper amount of gold onto them. Note that not all NPCs can train skills.
Skill locks grant you control over your skill advancement, and are manipulated in the skills menu. To open the skills menu, press the skills button on your paperdoll. A small icon is located next to each skill. An arrow pointing up signifies the skill can only advance. A lock signifies the skill cannot advance or degrade. An arrow pointing down signifies the skill cannot advance, and will eventually degrade.
If ever you find yourself in a rut and not gaining skills, first ensure you are really able to gain. If everything looks good, simply try changing things up a bit - explore or try a different target. It might just get you out of that rut, or at least make it an interesting time trying.
