I just came back last week, and subsequently leveled from 75-90 in a day or two.
My question to you guys: What do you recommend to properly skill up as a THF, inside abyssea, that is. Don't tell me fortalices, that's already been covered.
If you're really low on skill level then skill up on fortalice's in castle zhavl(sp?) (S) while you cook, shower, sleep, etc.
Once you get a decent amount of skill you can equip mounted champion, stronghold, and vissictitude atmas and afk while skilling up on glenn crabs in abyssea-grauberg. (flux 4 then head north)
Hmm, thanks for the thoughts. I'm hopefully aiming for skilling Dagger, eva and maybe parrying as far as physical skills go, for anything else, I'd have to go NIN.
...And Marksman, if I ever bother getting enough ammo for it...
aggro like 9 mandies from abyssea altep (flux 6) using earth staff with a friend that can phalanx you, rdm or sch. your eva will cap in a few mins, do not pull the mandies just aggro and take them near the flux

Thank you for the tip mate - this worked really great. I did it with the mandies in Attowah flux 7 and I went from 354 to 361 in less than 5 mins lol
If you want to cap a weapon go /10+monk and do mandy. If you can get a whm and or rdm friend (or equivalent) to keep you alive indefinitely (not hard with phalanx and atma) you can cap any weapon relatively quickly. Even as /10 monk the counter you get from it will end up faster than you will hit by any other method agro pulling all the mandy from altep or atto. Make sure they are EM at most to a 90 tho or it wont be worth your time.
If you can survive it and have mnk at 45 you can counterstance and skill amazingly fast. Things to help it along, counterstance or not would be the Gnarled Horn atma and Roaring Laughter Atma. (from Sobek and quests in the range respectively)
The only combination that can out to a monk or a job/monk with counterstance is a warrior/monk doing the same thing adding in retaliation. The amount of skillups can be insane. When skilling h2h on monk I was able to get a lvl in h2h at max in 30 seconds, and minimum of 3 seconds if I recall.
On warrior doing it with just /45 monk and retaliation I can take a weapon from 0 skill-cap in an hr-3 depending on people. This all before skillup food, and some before the "enhanced skillup rate" update. Good luck!
P.S. Chig work well too if you can survive them. Personally I think the funnest is ALL of the chig with ALL of the mandy at the same time. It gets very interesting. (excluding NMs obviously.)
