Re: Raising skill
Personally I was never able to keep enhancing capped in exp parties alone. Every few levels I'd have to take time out for a soloing session to bring it back up. Keeping Phalanx, Haste, Spikes, En- and Stoneskin up on yourself constantly for a couple hours caps enhancing before you know it, and in the meantime you can keep yourself entertained and productive farming or leveling your NPC. That was my solution for combat skills also.
If you want to grind out enhancing skillups specifically, just alternate between a couple bar-element spells outside your moghouse. I wouldn't worry about it though. Enhancing magic skill has absolutely no effect on Refresh, Haste, Protect, Shell or Regen, which are the enhancing spells most commonly used in a party. Unless you're responsible for bar-element spells to curb AoE damage, the only time the skill really benefits you is when soloing.
The tips others offered for capping your other skills are good. Besieged is really the ultimate for skillups. I've been standing on the walls spamming Cure and Banishga on undead on the ground, and even when they're unclaimed they almost never come after me. When you do see one that's obviously coming for you, just run away and make sure you go up and down some stairs in the process. They lose you in the chaos pretty quickly. I've been spamming -gas for weeks and haven't died once.
