Your two best friends for skilling magic are hpmedes and Beseiged.

I capped my skills on brd like nuts on hpmedes. Absolutely one of the easiest and fastest ways I've tried.

Those orange mobs that follow you around in sea but don't aggro. I call them puppies, some people call them goldfish.

Re: How important is capping skills?

Healing and enhancing should have been near cap or capped every damn level as a whm pre-level sync, imo. I had absolutely no problems doing so as I leveled my whm on my taru. I couldn't understand why a whm wouldn't have these capped since healing and regening are the two things you do nonstop as a whm.

Don't ask me why, but my Healing magic skill still isn't capped and my Whm has been 75 for about 6 months. Now I don't go Whm to every event, but I was Whm while doing Sky for at least 4 months, and I still go to Dynamis half the time as Whm. So it's not like it is being totally ignored I just haven't gotten the skillups. Lately I've also been doing some soloing on Whm to get my club skill leveled. I do believe your theory is based on some good facts, but there will always be anomalies. I was in a static with a Nin for most of the 37-75 portion of leveling which could explain some of the lack of skillups, but I was still quite far behind cap.

I had WHM at 75 for 2 years before I finally capped healing just this summer. In that time I also levelled a couple of other jobs to 75, so I wasn't always doing stuff as WHM. While levelling up, though, my healing skill was never capped. I was going to go out and spam cures on the lesser colibri to cap it right as SE took that option away from us.
