Raising Weapon Skills

[elledan]

I am a lvl 30BLM/15RDM and I was wondering how you all go about raising your club/staff skills. Mine is currently uncapped at 56 and am having a hard time getting it higher.

What I'm looking for is a mob i can fight that wont require me to nuke it to death before even getting a hit in with my club or staff. ANy suggestions?

Also, i was wondering which weapon BLM's are most proficient in, Club or Staff.

You can bring up your weapon skill even when soloing worthless enemies if your skills is low enough. I was able to bring my staff from 0 to 70 soloin valkrum goblins.

After you got it as far as it will go soloing, you can also join skill up parties If you watch the messages in Jeuno, you should be able to see a few of those forming. Another option is to join key/quest item hunting parties. Since you won't be fighting IT stuff in these, you can level your weapon skill or your enfeeble.


For BLM, our most proficient weapon is the saff (B-), then club (C+), and dagger (D). You can check the caps and progression on this page

thanks for the proficiency info. good lord, we were not ment to melee. i think i have progressed beyond the point of gaining any skill by whacking at "too weak" monsters. When I fight easy preys (which, by the way, if im whacking at with my club is usually a bad thing) my level goes up, but there is a pretty good chance i can be killed by the encounter.

I'll keep a look out for Skill Up parties! Thanks for the info....
