Skill Tips

Get your stats to 100 This is an easy and super quick way to get your stats to 100. You have probably heard of this called the seesaw method in the past. Here's how it's done. First of all you need to be at the 700 skill cap, if you are a new player, this means paying money for skills you will never use. You'll need about 7000 gold to buy yourself up to 700. Learn every skill you can to get 700, except Item Identification, Spirit speak, Mining, Arms Lore, Snooping and Musicianship. Once that is completed, decide what you want to be, a mage, a warrior? Once that is decided you will know what your stats should be. Strength should always be 100, mages want 100 Intelligence, Warriors want Dexterity. Look at the skills menu, click show real at the top. Now one of your skills must be turned down for any skill to go up. Turn down one of the useless ones you just learned, and go mining. When you have 10.0% mining with show real clicked, lock all your skills except mining and arms lore. Arms lore should be a 0 with show real clicked. Turn Arms lore to up, and turn mining to down, then use arms lore on a weapon or peice of armor. Arms lore will go up, mining will go down, and you should see strength gains from doing either mining or arms lore. For mages, int is the same way, except you use the skills Spirit speak and Item Id, for int to go up. For Dex, use snooping and music.
Grandmaster Animal Lore First you must be in the Felucca Facet, and have low veterinary skills. Get 2 polar bears on a boat. I find the easiest way to do this is to tame them, take them over to boat, mark where you are standing, jump on boat, open gate to mark, then go through gate, and back, and you all will be on boat. Now, release one bear, and order the other to attack it, heal the tamed bear with Bandies, and the untamed with magic. Sail around. When you see Vet and Lore go up at the same time, order the tillerman to stop, lock down vet, and keep healing. You should see lore go up in the place of vet every time. *NOTE* If your lore is low anyways, don't bother with this, this should be used over 65 lore at least. *NOTE* You will try this, and it will not work and just as you are cursing me, it will start. It took me 45 minutes to find a place where it worked, but when it did, I went from 70 to 100 lore with 300 bandies in 30 minutes.
Grandmaster Music This works just like the Animal Lore skill does, except you want to have a low entice, and during powerhour in the Felucca Facet go entice the town crier. When Entice and Music go up at the same time, lock entice, and music should go up in it's place. I have had marginal luck with this one. I have tried it like 10 times, and only succeeded 3 times, but each time, music went up like 3-4% before it stopped working. What I do, is after I try it, I go to a shop and train a skill to make entice drop back to zero, so I can try it again the next day, cause once you hit 10% enticement, your skill gain slows way down, so the next day you can try it again. Takes like 5 minutes, and when it works it makes your day. UPDATE : This works! I went from 89 music to 100 music in about 15 minutes using this method, so don't give up on it!
