Black Mage Skillup (Outside of Beseiged)

Well, I've been stuck with a problem lately. I've hit level 68 Black Mage. But I need to skill up to prepare for Maat. But the last thing I need to do is cap my skills.

I try to attend every Beseiged I can find, but alot of the time they are outside of my Timezone. So I was wondering.. Where else can I go for my level to get alot of skill ups?

How bad are your skill levels? Why don't you try killing goblin pets for a while?

If you have Sea access you can skill up Enfeebling really easy on Hpemde, as they won't fight back if you don't do any damage. As far as Elemental, maybe try to join in on skillup shout parties(or see if you have a higher level friend who can tank for you) and spam Stone.

Re: Black Mage Skillup (Outside of Beseiged)

Unfortunatly, I only just finished my Promys today. So Sea is out of the question.

But the Stone idea is good. I was also looking into campaign battle without tags just for skillups.

Re: Black Mage Skillup (Outside of Beseiged)

The campaign forts will get you to level 50, and the mobs will get you to level 61 (I believe). I'd say that you shouldn't be behind all THAT badly, but ... is this a result of endless Qufim manaburns or the like?

Im not that far behind.. Vunkurl Inlet [s] Manaburns. So my elemental is capped at level 64ish and the rest are close by.

I used campaign mobs to get skill ups up to the cap for level 67. It was level 68 when I stopped getting skill ups from them.
