poison carkarass

[syzygomatic]

i have checked the forums and couldn't find anything on my following question:

i've been fighting the poison carkarass ad nauseum to build up my sword skills
each time i kill one on the main tab in my chat screen it says:
you have gained 2400 experience points
but in my stats and skills screen it has no effect on the percentage displayed for experience
i can kill 10 carkarass in a row and it won't go up one percentage point

do i have the wrong understanding of what those experience points are for?
should they advance the experience percentage in the stats and skills screen?

many thanks

is simple, every time you get enough experience  points (200) you got a progression point each 2 experience point is equal to 1%, every 100% one pp
Therefore every 2400=1200%=6pps

thank you

just to clarify for my dense brain
the experience points for combat then, don't effect the experience percentage in the stats and skills window?
experience points are only for calculating progression points?

the experience percentage in my stats and skills window doesn't change after killing a carkarass

200 experience points gets one progression point and resets the experience bar so because you were getting an exact multiple of 200 the bar always winds up in the same spot and looks like it isn't moving.
If you have training in a skill that you are using you get practice points which move the bar beside that skill in the stat and skill window. If it isn't moving then you need to buy training.
