So, I just got back from a break and my Marksmanship is woefully underleveled (Sitting at ~319 with 8/8 merits). Any good ideas for getting that leveled?

worm party should net you some skillups using the Lv. 22 bullets bought in the Metalworks from an NPC

Worms in Abyssea were great, but I found that at around 340 the skill ups slowed down drastically. (and as such, your gil cost for bullets rises)

So in addition to the above advice, I suggest that when you feel the skill-ups slowdown to head over to Gustav Tunnel and fight Boulder Eaters. At lv.100-105, they are the highest level worms, and I used these to skill up from around 335 straight to the 398 cap (I found the skillups to be much quicker). Despite not having any atma, it's still very much doable. Stand at optimal range, Roll Tacticians and Coursers, Sub /DNC and waltz off their nukes, use Dark Shot to dispel their Stoneskin, and Fire away!
