Category:Skills Which Can Be Permed

Most skills in the Kingdom of Loathing can be learned permanently by ascending and choosing to "perm" it. It costs 200 Karma to mark a skill Hardcore permanent, which means that, unless in certain challenge paths or Bad Moon, you will have that skill. It costs 100 Karma to mark a skill Permanent, which means that, unless in the conditions above, you will have that skill if in a Normal ascension or lower. It also costs 100 Karma to upgrade a skill from Permanent to Hardcore Permanent.

Many of the Skills Obtained From Items may be permed as well, but some are automatically marked Hardcore Permanent upon receiving the skill. As a good rule of thumb, if the item is a Meat Pasting ingredient, you can apply sandpaper to it to gain a crafting recipe, and it will need to be permed. Else, if it's a rare item (such as a past Crimbo item, or Manual of Transcendent Olfaction), it will be automatically marked Hardcore Permanent. If neither of these are true, you will have to perm the skill.
