Below is a guide to gaining skill in archery, fencing, mace fighting, swordsmanship, tactics, and wrestling. This guide was created for those of you that wish to gain in one of those listed skills at a fast pace. In order to use this guide successfully you must first understand it. So, here’s how it works:
<ul>[*]The first number listed is the skill level at which you should start fighting the listed creatures. [*]The second number is the skill level at which you will normally stop getting fast gains. [/list] As you can see each skill level range starts somewhere in-between the skill level range above it.
(For example: the first line "30.0 - 50.4" and the second line "36.7 - 55.9").
The reason why this is done that way is because
you should <font color=red>always</font color=red> move to the next line as soon as you can. This will provide the fastest gains possible. Yet, if you are having trouble you can always move back to a skill level range that your skill level fits in.
Weapons are also a huge factor in training your skill. When training you do
not want to use any weapon that does any extra damage. Your best bet is to buy your weapons from NPCs in town. You also want to use a weapon that hits fast - the faster you hit the faster you gain. Below I have listed the best weapons you should use for the weapon skills. Also, if you can find one of these weapons with
Swing Speed Increase you should use it.
Archery:<font color=8B1A1A> Repeating Crossbow</font color=8B1A1A>
Fencing:<font color=8B1A1A> Dagger</font color=8B1A1A>
Mace Fighting:<font color=8B1A1A> Quarterstaff</font color=8B1A1A> - (if you need a one-handed weapon use a Club)
Swordsmanship:<font color=8B1A1A> Butcher knife, Skinning Knife</font color=8B1A1A> - (if you need an axe use a Hatchet)[/b]
It is easier for a warrior to train on creatures that do not use poisoning attacks, some special attacks, ranged attacks, cast magic, are only found in Felucca, and/or can be found only by specific means (as in using a gargoyle pick axe to get elementals, or casting spells to get summons). So, if a creature has/does any of those things it was not listed. I also did not list negative karma creatures.

There are also other ways to gain skill. If you prefer a safer way (although much slower) I would recommend hiring and fighting the NPCs in the Jhelom Pit. Best things about this method is you can raise healing along with it by healing your NPC, can keep them alive longer by healing them, and can make them stop by switching out of war mode and saying "all guard me" a few times. Just follow the chart below using the same rules as on the above chart.
