i was only a few law and lore points away from fencing when i saw that the packages were put up and i snagged one so i could get a sword and give the pack to my wife, when you click the scroll it only gives you the skill it does not boost your proficiencies and get you any closer to murder or the other black skills. just allows you to kill rabbits and crickets right off to get your leather etc going sooner instead of screwing around for an hour or two first.
