You have a few options open to you. Most of the time when I level up my Club skills it's with higher level players in my LS. Basically you want to put together a party of people that are higher level than you so you can go somewhere and fight mobs which are IT to you but only DC or EP to them. Usually we go to Beadeaux and hunt the coffer key dropping Quads, or Ifrit's Cauldron and hunt Volcano Wasps. Wasps are good because they can heal themselves for up to 1200 HP so the fights are long enough for you to get in a few hits.

Another idea is to join someone's Genkai I party and help slay Exos, Skels and Explosures.

thats actually a pretty bad idea. IT mobs are notorious for being hard to hit ^_^;; it should be the other way around...EP or DC to you and IT to them, like limit 1 quest like you mentioned. try skilling up solo also, i'm sure you can get club up to 125 or higher on the crawlers in the nest, probably not the ones near the entrance but the ones near the room with the lizards.

blink, stoneskin, debuff the mob, whack away. don't use any DOT debuffs like dia or bio, cast sleep whenever your health hits the yellow to heal yourself and med. i use this method to skill up solo on my blm on even match+ beetles in garlaige...bring along a life belt . my evasion is maxed, i have 160 club and 150 or so staff now.

Robber Crabs in Kuftal Tunnel will let you skillup to ~200
Velociraptors in Valley of Sorrows will get you get past 220



EDIT: I think Antican Signifiers and the like will let you skillup to Moonlight.

Liches and Fallen Knights in Eldieme will get you up to Skullbreaker, just confirmed this last night helping a friend get genkai items.

robber crabs in kuftal -> robber crabs in boyahda -> robber crabs in gustav
that should be the easiest route to get to club 221. (cap at lv67)
you could also skill your club on bone-type mobs and level your healing magic quite easily using offensive cures.

things to think about when skilling is that always buy the weapon with the lowest delay, dmg on the weapon doesn't matter since you can get skill on 0 dmg hits. the ideal weapon for skilling club is a +1 wand.. or kraken club (yeah right)

usually, when skilling up, i get my ass handed to me in the process. i only manage to stay alive cuz i can sleep to put back up blink, stoneskin, debuffs and leech mp with aspir or rest for an extended amount of time with sleep and sleep II. crabs and beetles are ideal for this reason, though beetles are sometimes hard to hit. i'm not sure how white mages skill up solo...but wouldn't skeletons be difficult since its impossible to get mp back from them and they're unsleepable?

[Fourinkmaaya]

yes, i am assuming you bring friends. club will not cap unless you're fighting atleast even match.
even match = not very efficient skilling as a solo whm.

[riceburner4540]

yes, skilling up with friends is nice, but sometimes everyone is busy so i go by myself. oh hey, my evasion is capped too
