update:

this guide isn't as useful as it used to be. there is now a new skilling system without the special m2s&s2m skills. go combo way?


Ok,
Get yourself an Adept Set, skill exp 3 at least! dont settle for skill exp 2. also buy adept rings and adept amulet, if you are level 70 also buy bracelet.

The best way to skill fast is to use combo, i dont mean 3 comboes, but 15 combos can give you some really good skill exp bonus.

the problem with this method is that you also get regular exp, and you level up, so soon your adept set won't be any good. (because you will need to fight stronger monsters)
So here is the seconed best way to skill up: Boxing.

Untill you are level 50 always use skills and comboes and never use "normal attack".

Hopefully, when you will be level 50 you will have expert at something.

Ah yes, DO quests. they give good money and they dont mass up your skills.

When you are level 50, go to the port lux instructor. you better ask from a higher level player to help you get there.



when you are there buy one of the upgade skills (make sure you have the money).


if you want to level up your sword then buy magic to sword. (and if..then..).
*if you want to level up both sword and magic dont buy the skill, but it will also be two times slower...

now, remove all your weapons (swords orbs ..)
and go kick low level monsters.
kick = attack them with fists WITH "normal attack".
low level monsters = monters that you can fight and that they almost dont hurt you AND monsterts that give you more than 0 exp per hit.


you can also buy some bad sowrd, like katana and use it. with it you can use buffs which are nice.



with this method you better use the "window mode" and while you are killing the monsters surf the web or something.



so, when you kick low level monsters with fists or bad sword it takes about 2 minutes to kill each monster and you get good skill exp (because skill exp = how many times you kick it) but almost NO regular exp..

level 72: (started seriously boxing at lvl 70)
