First off, I've been leveling Samurai recently; I'm level 65, and to my displeasure, still without Tachi: Gekko. Of course, this is thanks to Level Sync. Now my question for you, FAQ, is simply: What's the best way to cap it again? I can put, "(Level Sync) <65(No thanks.)" in my /seacom, but I'll never receive a party invite that way. I'm nearly half-way to 66, and I'm 7 skill levels to 225 (218, obviously) and Tachi: Gekko, what are plausible alternatives to getting those skill levels aside from an EXP parties and besieged?

Yeah, It’s true.
It’s in your eyes, where I find peace.

Re: Level Sync gimping skill levels,
Skill up Parties, or sub dancer, and kill stuff thats about your level. Or get a rdm friend to follow you about as you kill DC-DM con monsters. -
Re: Level Sync gimping skill levels,
Honestly, I'd stick something in your seacom. You get the most interesting parties when you refuse to sync back past a certain point because all the oddball parties start forming. You'll be waiting on an invite forever, yeah, but you'll eventually get to skillup proper and meet some folks who are willing to try new stuff.
Then again I'm horribly biased because I'm a Red Mage and I don't have to wait weeks on end for a party invite.Server: Midgardsormr -> Quetzalcoatl -> Valefor

Re: Level Sync gimping skill levels,
Also, is there a secret to leveling skills faster? Assuming I was in an EXP party, is it better to have lower attack (not for EXP's sake, obviously)? Etc..In the moonlight, your face it glows.. like a thousand diamonds, I suppose.

Re: Level Sync gimping skill levels,
No real secret but I'd find something else to do till your server receives the Martial Master Kupopower then I'd go nuts levelling your skills.
It does help if you skill off creatures appropriate to the level of your weapon skill though. I use this list as a guide. After the 200 mark I'd just skill on coffer mobs and Steelshells.Comment

Re: Level Sync gimping skill levels,
The only real secret is "EM or higher mobs". Because the skill you can get is capped to your skill cap at the level of your target too, not just your own level. If you're level 60 and it's level 58, then you can't get skills past your level 58 cap. See the chart for to find your cap at a given level. And how fast you skill up is determined by your current skill level vs. the cap at your target's level.
Combat Skills - FFXIclopedia
Mages have it easy... there are plenty of spells that a Lv 40 can cast which will land on a Lv 80, and maybe even give an 0.5 skillup. Besieged provides an envionment where you can do that and get away with it without being smashed to a pulp... or at least not as often.
But combat skills require you to be able to hit for non-zero damage, and Besieged mobs can be hard to hit unless you're at least 70 or so WITH sushi, so you basically have to go through the usual progression of crabs (Kuftal, Teriggan, Boyhada). FYI, crabs are used because they last longer, so you don't have to pull as many.
Again, check the chart to see what level you need to fight, and move up when you get close to your cap from your target mob.Elwynn @ Fairy Elwynbelwyn @ Sylph | PS2 PC

Re: Level Sync gimping skill levels,
Leveling melee skills is easy. Go to past Castle Zvhal and run down the stairs behind a fortalice. Equip a low damage weapon with 1-3 damage on it and bash at the fortalice for hours. They have 5k HP each, so hitting for 1-2 damage per hit will take a long time to kill them, and you'll be outside of sight range of the demons. Skilling magic on those sucks, because the elementals will aggro you, and weather is very common in those zones.
I capped dagger, staff, and club skill on my BLM with that method, in only about 4 days. I'd get my character there, engage, and go to work. When I came home I'd have about 70 levels of skill more then when I left. I started at about 20 dagger skill and 100 club and staff skill.
Fortalices are at least level 75, so you can cap all damaging skills on them. Defensive skills will still need a mob that fights back.http://www.ffxionline.com/forums/gen...igure-out.html
