So, a while ago I remembered that you could skillup off these to level up skills. My question is, Are there any that are "aggro free" meaning no mobs around it that will aggro. Also, do they respawn?

They are all aggro free, and respawn in 30 minutes. Just position yourself correctly away from mobs.

I think two of them have roaming mobs that can be iffy sometimes.

Just position yourself at the bottom of the stairs, or against the fence, pending which position you are at. I have never once had aggro and I've done it at least 10-15 times over night and during work the next day.

Yeah, I scouted around while under sneak and invis and pretty much thought the same thing.

Anything I can make in a spellcast XML to auto-attack when they spawn so I can go to sleep while doing this? lmao v.v; Sarcastic question I know there is no such thing.

Wait, how did you manage it for so long? even with the lowest dmg GA I could find, I still kill to fast (The woodworking one would probably take longer than it would to skillup, didn't look it up just assumed)

I was using Relic Scythe so it lasted about 15 hours or so. Find a weapon with 1 damage on it if possible, no more than 4-5. Pending your skill level that will last you multiple hours. If you're using it to skill up past 200-220ish your skillups will be very lackluster imo.

Edit: I started at 102 skill, ended my first fortalice at 162. It's just good for afk skilling until about 200~ (pending your skill ranking in the weapon)

ah, I see. So I'd have to quest the Trainee Axe for my GA if I was to really use this method to skillup.

Personally I think it's worth it if you're starting with a skill that's under or near 100 to get it to 200-220~

I also did it for multiple weapons without aggro, and the getting the Trainee Axe is worth it. I might have gotten lucky, but the quest didn't take me long at all to finish for the axe.

I started my skillups at ~204 on dagger on the forts in Castle Zvahl and it's still going strong at 240+.

A youtube video I saw says it caps at ~276... so that's pretty good considering it's an AFK skilling session.
