Bahamut.Zorander said: Can war wear H2H? It won't work well. For example, my gax is DMG 1.
When you look at a reg weap it'll say DMG 1, DMG 2, ect. When you look at h2h, it says DMG+1 DMG+2. The + is there because you have base damage, and the + adds to it. The base dmg is based on you h2h skill. The higher your skill, the more dmg. Aka, the higher your h2h gets, the more dmg you hit it for, the afk skill ups won't last nearly as long because you'll kill it faster.

I'd assume cap. I got 271 on war gax yesterday after dlv'ing and 271 is the cap for lv 74. So if you can't get cap for lv 75, then you can at least get capped for lv 74.

I capped sword on RDM (250) So far, that's all I know, going to work on axe/club on BST/NIN (only club cuz I'm 72 and have O. Club.. mostly going for the axe..)
I'll also be capping scythe. BST axe caps at 269, which is considerably higher then RDM's sword, so I'll repost when skill ups seem to be capped (or if this actually caps)

Missed that, so yeah, we know it can go to 271 <.< which is good for me, I'll be able to cap axe

Let's say mnk's parry cap is 200 and mnk's h2h is 276. Mnk's parry and h2h would take the mob to cap them out.
It's not based on the actual skill number but your skill with what it caps at and your current level.
For example if I was 199 parry and my parry skill caps at 200 at 75, it would take a lv 75 or higher mob to cap it, regardless of what I can get my h2h skill on the same mob. If I tried to get my 1 point on a lv 74 or lower mob, it'd never happen.
That being said, if you reached rdm's lv 75 cap, you can cap for all 75s

I guess it's just bad luck that I haven't gotten a skill up on staff past 200 as 75 BLM in half an hour ;~;

So yeah i just dinged 200 great sword skill. When i started yesterday i was 114. And nearly ALL of this... was while i did my final project for a class, watched TV, took a shower, and today went running/worked out.
Epic win.
As soon as this caps I'm doing staff right away... this will probably end up being patched lol. Staff has to be THE worse 2 handed weapon to skill up tbh.
Again... epic win.

Again... epic win. Not really, well not w/ this lol. I'm doing gsd w/ 666 delay right now. Now this one bites, especially since I started at 18, so only landing one out of every 5 shots. Landing a hit an average of once every 55 seconds.

I dunno in my opinion staff holds less reason to even skill it than greatsword in general.
But opinion is opinion.
Either way I'm going to cap it too.

And now that i'm finishing up my rounds on certain things it's time to finally finish them :D

Going to be heading up in a few minutes and give this a try while I nap. Would be epic win to cap club before going into Nyzul as well as getting Black Halo.

I've been hitting the fortalice for over a half hour now on my blm with 210 staff skill. I am using the signet staff and haven't received any skillup. I have been engaged attacking the fortalice for about an hour doing 0 damage with the staff. I was wondering if you have to actually damage it or if i am just having bad luck?

Have to at least do 1 dmg to get skill ups. Wear a couple points of str (alkiy bracelets alone made the diff between me hitting from 2-3 to 5-6 w/ my dmg 1 gax)

I just went from 98-200 club skill for my Thf on just two forts, I was using the two dream bells from the Xmas event.
Now trying on my Sam, 226 GK skill right now, using Wooden Katana, killed one and not even a 0.1, attacking another and it's half way dead and still not 0.1 yet.
They normally slow like this 200+?
By Fenrir.Luarania 2010-06-07 19:21:36
Key point is to deal damage, if you are then dunno I still haven't got out there, just now finishing up quests.
Ported over from BG, so going to quote his OP. Figured that I'd share it with you all
SephYuyX said: So, since im done using them, I might as well let the people know who already didnt. But you can get free skill ups on the Zvahl Fortalices in Castle Z (S). Not like skilling up is hard anymore, but if you wanted to take a weapon from 150 to cap in a few hours while afk, it's kind of nice.
There are 4 forts that ive found in baileys (there are some in keep to, but never looked for them), and they have about 5k hp. Using an event weapon (halloween spear) I skilled on one hitting for 1~2 dmg for about 3 hours. It took me about 4 forts to get 100 skill levels. If youre sub 180 skill, youll need a good amount of acc.
Supposedly theyre supposed to be gaurded, but theyre not, so w/e, enjoy them while they still work.

Basically, find the lowest dmg possible weapon you're trying to skill up and it'll last longer (for example, I'm skilling up gax now on my war since I lv synced most of the way, so I'm using Trainee axe (1 dmg 504 delay).
Well, gonna go shower while I skill up
Sorry pups and mnks, not gonna work for h2h, since your base dmg (from h2h skill) will kill these off much much quicker.
[Mod note: This caps at level 82. Still works as of Feb 2012.]
