Your probability of gaining through use is on the order of 10%,
(20%?) while your chance of advancing through practice is 5% * (22-level),
with a 10% minimum.

No.

Yes.  Typically at 10% per production, if you've got enough animals.

NPC guilds aren't going to be helpful in this respect -- though
you might try a special action after the first six months of the game.
