Cooking
Skill Training:

Cooking is gained by cooking items and is NOT difficulty based, that is, yuo will gain regardless of what you cook.

Detect Hidden
How to gain in Detect Hidden:

1 Detecting hidden can go up when picking a lock or removing a trap.
2 Below 50 it's fastest to target the area where a hidden player is standing.
3 You can join factions and then detect all the traps around towns and strongholds. You've the same problem here as with the last method, there is only a limited amount of traps to detect.
4 Create a few hundred trapped boxes and then record a macro detecting them all. With 200-300 trapped boxes this shouldn't be much harder to GM than, for example, arms lore. It's going to be much slower though because of the 12 second delay.

50.0 Detect hidden is required before you can use the remove trap skill.

Discordance
Raising Discordance:

1 Buy your skills up to 30 or so.
2 Find a group of vendors and discord each one, one right after another and repeat until you up to about 40.
3 Go to the Solon Hive and find a Solon Queen in a safe spot. Alt click on her to follower her around and then start Discording her until you at about 65 or 70. (note this really only works if you're a friend of the hive).
4 Find someone in your guild that has a nightmare, or get one yourself and discord it until you at about 85-90.
5 Find someone in your guild that's as a CU, or get one yourself and discord it until you Gmed or higher.. all the way to 120.

Evaluate Intelligence
Training Evaluating Intelligence:

1 You can passively gain by casting Magery spells.
2 You can actively gain by using the skill itself and targetting players/monster/etc


Melee Fighting Skills
How to raise melee fighting skills: pretty basic here

Hit players/Monsters/Animals for gains.

Fishing
Training Fishing:

1 Fishing is location based, so it's important to keep moving while you fish, so the best place to fish is a moving boat.
2 Fishing gain system is movement based and the harvest area is 8*8 5-15 fish per vain, with respawn times per vain is 10-20mins.
3 At skill 0 - 80 you can fish in shallow water for easy gains.
4 At skill level 80+ for easy gains, you need to fish in deep water not shallow.

Healing
Healing Training:

At low levels (0-65 healing) you can gain just by healing yourself or others. The easiest way to train would be to have a mage on your 2nd account and get the mage to cast magic arrow on you. If you're good with macros you could have a trigger word the healer says each time their health is over a certain level and would get the mage to cast magic arrow on the healer.

Another way of training would be to get into Lich Form (Necro Spell) and use the life draining effects the spell has on the caster to the healers advantage and simply heal away.

The best way to gain at higher levels of healing would be to resurrect a ghost at 80 or more healing (Making sure you have 80 or more anatomy too) and keep doing so, over and over until you reach your required skill.

Hiding
Skill training:

1 Hiding is most easily GM'ed by actively using the skill. On DoA skills are no longer movement based, you can stand in one spot and continuously gain.
2 You can also gain hiding by using the stealth skill. If you're also trying to GM stealth, you can use both skills to raise hiding, by simply hiding and then moving around in stealth mode.

Lumberjacking
How to raise Lumberjacking:

The best method is to actively chop trees for logs to raise your skill levels. Can also get this using axes on the training elems

0.0 3.0 Buy from NPC
20.0 60.0 Curse

Mining
How to raise Mining:

Actively dig for ore in any cave or mountainous areas.

Musicianship
How to train musicianship:

1 Actively gain by double clicking an instrument in your backpack.
2 Passively gain by using another of the bard skills.

Parrying
Raising the Parry skill:

1 The single most effective way to raise parry is to get a pack of birds (5+) attacking you. Just stand in a safe place (Like in the centre of Moonglow Tram) with your attacking birds and make sure you have no armor (It'll be ruined very fast) and enough shields to train all the way to your desired level. If your shield disintegrates then just equip another shield. Note that if you were a Busihdo user, just make sure you have a weapon equipped and that you tab out to make sure you don't kill the birds. The main reason for using birds is that they hit for 1 point of damage and you won't die if you go afk while training, but verify before going AFK.

Peacemaking
How to raise Peacemaking skill:

1 The best method of raising this skill is to get a tamer to supply you with some animals (Bulls work well). On DoA the skill gain isn't movement based, so you can stay in 1 place and still gain. So pick your spot and take your bulls there. Then all you need to do is area peace (Use peace skill and target self) over and over to gain. Bare in mind people training this skill can be rather annoying after a while if training in a public place (Luna or Brit bank for example) so try to do it somewhere remote and somewhere thats not dangerous. Also note - if your gains slow, try using multiple instruments and rotating them and also exceptional instruments too.

20.0 45.0 Lesser Poison
45.0 65.0 Poison
65.0 90.0 Greater Poison
90.0 100.0 Deadly Poison


*It is possible to GM poisoning with greater poison, however it takes longer. Using deadly poison is faster, however you need a LOT more nightshade to make the potions.

0.0 30.0 Buy from NPC
20.0 40.0 Cows
40.0 65.0 Scorpions or Bulls

90.0 100.0 High End Monsters


Once above GM, head to the Yomotsu Mines. Yomotsu Warrior vs Yomotsu Warrior, then Warrior vs Priest, Priest vs Priest and finally Priest vs Elder and this will take you to 120.

Remove Trap
Raising the Remove Trap skill:

The easiest way to train RT is by removing tinker-placed traps. I recommend a setup similar to lockpicking: 5 bags with 20 crates each, plus a key ring holding the keys for all crates in that bag. All crates should be dart-trapped by a GM tinker. The damage of dart traps is limited to about 80 hp. Explosion traps do much more damage (sometimes over 120) and the tinker trap poison is nearly uncurable by players. If you have anatomy and healing you can heal yourself whenever you set off a trap (since RT has a 10 second delay and you can heal yourself is about that time it shouldn't cause any interruptions when working the skill.) If possible, another character healing you is of course safer.

Resisting Spells
How to train Resisting Spells:

The tried and tested method which uses the least amount of mana and casts the fastest spell would be clumsy. This is the universal way of raising resisting spells and you do not need to change to any other spells at all. Clumsy will take you all the way to 120 if you have used a 120 powerscroll. Simply cast clumsy over and over on yourself, or get a mage friend or if you have one on your second account use that. Just keep casting and you'll gain all the way up to your desired level in no time.

Snooping
How to raise the Snooping skill:

The fastest way to gain snooping is by buying 40 bags, pouches and backpacks, place them inside one another and record a macro that opens them one by one. Then place the bag with all the other bags inside into a packhorse and transfer this to a guildmember (If in Trammel) or to a player if in Felucca (See above text for explanation). Then run your macro and you'll snoop all the bags, just rinse and repeat. If your gains slow, add another 20 - 40 bags and you should gain fast again. You shouldn't need pauses in your macro if you actions are queued, just 1 pause at the end so that the queued actions get a chance to run before the macro is run again.

Spellweaving
From To Spellweaving
0.0 20.0 Arcane Circle : Stand on an Arcane Circle, Pentagram, or Abattoir.
20.0 33.0 Immolating Weapon Equip any melee weapon to cast. Immolating Weapon casts faster than Thunderstorm.
33.0 44.0 Reaper Form Make sure you are wearing 40% Lower Mana Cost and as much Mana Regneration as possible. Keep in mind Lower Reagent Cost is not needed for Spellweaving.
44.0 60.0 Summon Fey/Fiend It does not matter which you cast, but Summon Fiend causes Karma loss.
60.0 74.0 Essense of Wind.
74.0 90.0 Wildfire.
90.0 120.0 Word of Death Target yourself and heal as needed. To reduce damage, discard the Arcane Focus crystal if you have one.

Spiritspeak
How to raise Spirit Speak:

1 Passively gain Spirit Speak from casting Necromancy spells.
2 Actively gain from using the Spirit Speak skill.

Easiest method is to find a safe location and macro the use of the skill with a sufficient enough pause for the timer to reset between Spirit Speak uses - its as simple as that.

Stealing
From To Stealing
0.0 30.0 Buy from the Thief NPC
20.0 120.0 Take your skill, round up at 5 (for instance 45 or higher round to 50) take the 0 off, and steal that amount of stones - For example 74 skill would be 7 stones and 75 skill would be 8.

The best method for gaining stealing involves the use of a packhorse in Felucca near as many people (PC's or NPCs) as possible. In order to initiate stealing from your packhorse you must be in Felucca and you must say, "All guard" or "packname guard" If you are not in Felucca then the packhorse will "block your attempt to steal." If you do not have it guard you then you will get guard-whacked on your first steal attempt. Not only is this a waste of time but it also gets you looted and laughed at.

If you do not gain off any of your items it's time to find new ones.

Some favorite locations for stealing practice are the Skara Brae Bank and the Serpents Hold Bank. Each of these locations has a large population of NPCs, along with a stable close to the bank.

Stealing is required to steal items (artifacts) located in the Malas dungeon of Doom.

Stealth
From To Stealth
0.0 32.5 Buy from NPC
32.5 65.0 Town Clothes or Leather
65.0 95.0 Studded Armour (Full Set) Gargoyles can use stone armor
95.0 100.0 Studded Armour (Full Set) + Closed Helm Gargoyles can use stone armor


This skill can only be gained by 1) Hiding first, then 2) Walking while hidden.

Tactics
How to raise Tactics skill:

Gaining tactics is probably the easiest thing to do. When you use a melee skill, you gain tactics. By the time you get from 90-95 of any combat skill, you should GM tactics. Its also advised to train anatomy and any passively raised skills - you can always soulstone them off and transfer them to another character if you want to speed up training times.

Tailoring
Heres how to raise Tailoring:

0.0 - 29.0 = Buy from an NPC Tailor
29.0 - 41.4 = Make Short Pants
41.4 - 58.2 = Make Cloaks
58.2 - 74.6 = Make Robes
74.6 - 99.6 = Make Oil Cloths

Then it depends on whether or not you have used a scroll:

No scroll:
99.6 - GM = Cloth Ninja Hoods

105 scroll:
99.6 - 102.1 = Oil Cloths
102.1 - 105 = Cloth Ninja Hoods

110 scroll:
99.6 - 104.6 = Oil Cloths
104.6 - 110 = Cloth Ninja Hoods

115 scroll:
99.6 - 107.1 = Oil Cloths
107.1 - 112.5 = Cloth Ninja Hoods
112.5 - 115.0 = Studded Do

120 scroll:
99.6 - 109.6 = Oil Cloths
109.6 - 112.5 = Cloth Ninja Hoods
112.5 - 120.0 = Studded Do


Tinkering
From To Tinker
0.0 30.0 Buy from Tinker NPC
30.0 50.0 Clock Parts
50.0 94.0 Lock Picks
94.0 100.0 Heating Stands

Veterinarian
How to raise the Veterinary skill:

The easiest way I've found is to take a boat out with 2 bulls on it and fight them. Heal one and then the other until you reach your desired level of vet. Note that the boat isn't essential - but I find it easy to find a spot where I don't take damage from either pet and can heal away with no problems. Also make sure that you have enough bandages.

[MadMan Martigan]

Whenever I have ventured on the waters I see masses of Sea Serpents, Deep Sea Serpents, Krakens and Water Elementals, so chillin in a boat wouldn't be the best idea, but maybe there are safe spots out there!!
