Skill Up Guide

A skill up guide from 1-424
Areas:???

use anything with ilevel skill and do abyssea until 200 base, then get ionis for the skillup boost and do 200-cap in ceizak

Depend on what skill do you want to cap.
For weapons, its a good thing WAR has B in pretty much every weapon, so hes my usual start. Use a low dmg weapon, and start working with high lv gaps (mob's lv-skill lv) for often 0.4, 0.5.
Normally i start with mandies in Buburimu peninsula. Mandies has the quality of having high speed attack and low dmg, so i just pull every mandy there, make sure everyone is in front of me and not in side or behind, then use retaliation. Actually, using some regen gear, its possible to afk while skilling. Mandies in Buburimu should go to 70 in less than 1h.
Then i work in some leeches in Sea Serpent Grotto or Bostanieux till 200. At that point you should be able to hit mobs in Abyssea without ilv gear. Normally work in worms to get some exp or merit, but working with mandies and regen atmas should be faster.
Till around 350, aby provide fast skills. Then adoulin is the best place to cap skill.
When there is martial master kupower, i like Dangruf Wadi and crabs. The results are excelent also, till 350 so so.
For magic, the best is using a script till 200ish for everything that can be auto casted. After 200, normally its a huge pain, lasting like full nights for 20, so normally i stop and go to adoulin and use worms and magics that cant be resisted like dia/bio/geo magics etc. Capped geo, enfeebling, dark from 200ish in some 6 hours repeating with worms, using every possible skillup accesory (minus the new gear from spark) and food (food is a must for last 100 skills), ionis/signet with tp 100 (if kupower is available).
But nowaday, the Eternal Flame provide those tomes to skill up. I used the healing magic to cap mine, and that for sure are amazing. Healing magic normally gives 0.1 every week full time playing, so those tomes are god send. Spark can be easily farmed, normally dont worth the time for skills fast paced like 1h weapons (as it takes long time to farm spark and to buy then one by one as the npc dont gives option to buuy stack), but for magics like healing/enhancing, for sure thats the very best way to go.
