Dual Swords

You learn skills in game from others that know the skill, and who have the skill 'teach'.  It takes about 5 minutes of learning for every 2 build the skill costs.  There should be some role-play of the skill, and often people will spend longer teaching then is required due to the Role-Play aspect of it.  You do not immediately know the skill after that session, but rather it is assumed your character spends the next month training in that skill and by the next event you have learned the skill.

I see, hmmmmm well when i say master i mean like become a master at it lol the rules state that after you master florentine you can use like two one handed edges instead of a dagger or knife which i want i normally dual swords in matches at other things so i was wondering if its ok to do such and if i need to "master" said skill how to do so

Its not that you "master" florentine - I see where your confusion is.  Its that there are two skills: Florentine and Master Florentine.  To learn the skill called Master Florentine, which allows one to weild two 1 Handed Edge-sized swords, one must have already learned Florentine.  But thats no different from many other skills in the game that require one to know a prerequisite skill before learning another. 

Just to clarify, here is a link to the "Learning Skills" section of the Rulebook:

Well, that goes back to the difference between IG and OOG skills. The skill is called Master Florentine (as opposed to a separate, but similar skill, called Florentine), but, of course, that doesn't mean anyone with it is ACTUALLY any good at it (much less a "master"). The same can be said of the reverse, if you don't have it, you could still really awesome with two light (or 1H and one light) weapon. So the difference is only that you can wield two 1H weapons if you have Master Florentine, that's it.

How you actually go about it once you've learned it from a teacher and spent the proper amount of Build? Well, practice practice practice! That way you can, erm, master (the verb) being a Master Florentine.

I'm gonna echo Elawyn above me: I think you accidently confused yourself with Florentine and Master Florentine. Usually you have to learn Florentine first, so you "Master" Florentine when you go look for someone to teach you the skill Master Florentine

I believe you are confusing the word master as a descriptor and not part of its name. There are two seperate skills, "Florentine" and "Florentine Master" or "Master Florentine". If you look at lists like Swashbuckler and Warrior they have both available to them. To learn Florentine Master you'd need the pre-req from the list you are learning it from. Swashbuckler requires florentine, and weapon prof + 1 to learn Florentine Master.

So to learn and fully utilize Florentine Master from the swashbuckler list you'd need something like (*) signifies the build cost
(2) 1 Handed Edge
(1) Small Weapon
(2) Florentine
(10) Weapon Prof + 1 (pick a weapon and hand, generally most would go 1 Handed Edge, right hand)
(3) Florentine Master

Essentially it would take 18 build for a player to learn Florentine Master off the swashbuckler list but that would mean he'd pretty much have no other skills.
