Raising Weapon Skill

[Kabuki]

Hey, Im nearing the level to face Maat and my sword skill is only lv 105. Is there a guide out there I can follow to max my sword skill?
Thanks.

Solo Worker Crawlers / Bees / Lizards in the Nest to get it to 125.
Then move down to the Soldier Crawlers and solo those for a while.

However, your best bet is to form a skillup party and tackle enemies that are easy enough to still hit, but high enough level to give you fast skill gains.

The absolute worst Bard known to man on Ragnarok beat him with a Dagger skill of like 160 so don't sweat it to much.

I wouldn't sweat it too much, but if you want to bring it up a bit from there a great place is Onzozo. Fighting Cockatrice with a friend there I skilled from ~110 to ~150 in a pretty short time.

anyone else notice in skill up events coffer hunts etc, we have less time to melee than everyone else? people constantally wanting ballad melee songs etc, wanting hte full que of songs all the time

2 days ago we did castle O for monk af, keys and limit3 (got my legs /.cheer) however while fighting stuff irealized i have very little time and thus lower skill than i'd like in my weapoons (sword especially)

also anyone who's fought mad and see's thisdid u use sword or dagger to fight him? i heard circle blade does less damage than cyclone, and thought that odd giving that swords generally have higher damage than daggers

When I did Oztroja I only sang Ballad 2 and Madrigal during pulls. If you come with a small group of people this might not be all that good but usually you have at least 2 PTs there so just melee skill away I say.

Granted, if it's for your own key you kinda have a responsibility to play all the songs they want unlike when you don't need it.

Weapon Skill isn't required to win Genkai 5, but it definately does help. Using Requiem VI, Soul Voice, and a +2 Requiem Flute, you can outlast him with a boatload of potions. It's much, much cheaper with some weaponskill though.

Soloing in Rolanberry takes a skill to 90~95, but past that you're probably going to want to join up with some PTs. Though I did some skill up between 100-160 on Demons in Castle Zvahl, I never found soloing to be too efficient past that, and skilled up while helping some friends with coffer keys, AFs, and so forth. Just don't overwork yourself during these events--Madrigal x 2 and go at it Most of the things you'll be fighting for keys will only be Easy Prey or Decent Challenge at your level, so you don't have to take it that seriously.

we went w/ 3 team alliance w/ 2 rdm's and me, and since all the mages were meleeing the easy stuff they had no mp's and were just being stupid. like not putting blink up to stop yagudo ae's or even stoneskin etc. also i belive iron shells in sea searpents grotto can take your skills over 150 and they're wimpy crabs at lvl 60, (stoneskin+blink= /yawn) hopefully i was checking htem w/ my dagger on (150skill) don't remember

0.o Who is that?

And bards are always wanted in skillup parties since madrigal helps a lot...and elegy since the monster will be hitting less often, therefore less downtime... But with a low skill of 100 you can solo lots of it since you are 70.
