Re: Building Weapon Skills

I remember reading somewhere that using your WS as often as possible will help increase skill ups, but this could be complete garbage. Maybe someone here can either confirm, or disprove this.

Personaly i do notice more skillups or atleast an increased rate of skillups durring weaponskills so it could be true.

Also, you can gain multiple skillups on WS's which hit more than once. I got three skillups (3x 0.2) using Hexa Strike once when I was getting Club to cap vs. Light Elementals in Ru'Aun. So if you have access to a WS which hits more than once use that one for a better chance of getting a skill up, even if the damage is naff.

And in regards to fighting monsters which con High Evasion instead of High Defence ... your attack rating increases with your skill as well, so both Defence and Evasion ratings can be used to see whether or not skillups are possible. Personally I've found it to be really quite random, some mobs which con no defence/evasion rating have given me skillups and ones which conned high def/eva have given me nothing. Just keep hitting at it and if nothing comes at all then it's time to move on.
