Not sure if this is a bug or not, but my carpentry has been stuck at 3.8 and I have made about 50 buckets (which is all I can make at 3.8) all over the place and at different times with no skill gain... Any ideas as to why?

Were you ever able to gain again?

I notice a good handful of players already have 20+ carpentry.

Anti-Macro is disabled for carpentry so this shouldn't be the issue.

Still no gains. I thought it was the skill cap, but you fixed that and im gaining in other skills no, just not carpentry....

got to 1.1 and it stopped gaining completely...
(crafting waterbuckets) only option.

Yea, im still stuck at 3.8, but its going up on another char. But, the more I think about it, the more pointless carpentry seems... Only good for making deco, and since no one can go into your home (no lockdowns) no one can see what you make... lol

Yeah it is pointless, I just need some wooden boxes for some testing though.

With new housing coming and much more i can ensure you it wont be pointless.

Draconis, you really need to look into this. I started a couple more chars, and all of their carpentry skills are stuck below 10 and I cant crate anything other than buckets. Also, the magic defense is still stuck and another player is at 0 and has not gained a single point.

I'm looking into it right now.

Also be sure to know what skills are under Anti-Macro

Carpentry is not under anti-macro. I'm certain there is a bug with Carpentry. Investigating.
