Skill up food not for ALL combat skills?
I've been skilling Parrying on RUN and even tried as COR, I'm at 314 and have tried both, Elshena and Montagna, which seem to overlap at this level. I have heard Parrying happens more with Staves, More with Swords, etc. I bought a sword for RUN and popped Montagna, despite getting 2 levels of sword skill and parrying 5-7 times in about 2-3 minutes, not a single parrying skill up.
Do Skill up foods not cover Parrying? Does another food cover it?
EDIT: Forgot to point out while I WAS gaining skill under the effect of food, it was at the exact same rate as without.
