I personally Satyr trick every skill possible. That even goes for Tailoring and such too. Have a buddy/2nd account and things train even more easily also. Only skills (as I mentioned in other threads) that take a longer amount or time are skills that require wait timers, or waiting for mana to come back. (Poisoning, Spellweaving, Ninjitsu, Bushido).
All skills above 90 that have masteries are faster or can be done 2x as fast if you incorporate the mastery into normal training. Poisoning, Taming, Provo, Peacing.... To name a few.
Other things, you don't even need specific items. Like Magery, you can do it with a basic mage weapon, doesn't need to be 100% poison. Stam/SSI/HCI/Lower Def help obviously. What I do is buy the 40, use a mage wep. Usually a dagger. I have 3 bonded pets on my other tamer account.
First is a swampie, has close to max physical & hps (40 and 180) **bonus tip: you can even put on a dull copper barding deed to make physical higher**. This thing will take you to anywhere between 50/60 quickly with mage weapon. Next, I have a Gaman with close to cap hps and phys (150hp and 70 phys) this will take you to 80/90 depending. Then lastly a greater dragon with over 100 wrestle. Depending on mage wep, and you can do the Gaman to 120 if you have nothing with higher wrestle.
Now, while doing this, you can do eval over and over if you choose. You can be equipped with a cloak of corruption to gain med. You can have the taming spam weaken on you while healing the pet with vet for resist (while in protection, of course, to speed it up).
Using the crystal ball of knowledge, you will always know when you are "optimal" for best gains for magery too btw. My tamer is a discoer, so if the pet is a "bit too challenging" with the ball, disco and its fixed.
Following that method, you can be a 4x legend mage in... Meh? 4-6 hours? Give or take based on your commitment. Tons of tricks like that can be done. Want to speed that up? Do it with a Satyr.
Not sure if you were 'Trolling' a little
@kelmo to see if people were "just saying" it is faster on normal shards than Siege, but it's clearly true.
I've trained hundreds of characters for myself and close friends/family. I have a fulltime job working 6 days a week. I prefer to maximize my time spent.
