latent? what is the latent trigger on martial master? the only thing i can think of is having signet?

I cant be positive but i think summonin skillups will come faster usin offensive pacts on NMs and stuff in abyssea or wherever u can find high level mobs, maybe big worms in gustav too? I capped mine a while back just soloin iron giants for example.

While Martial Master is in effect players will benefit from an increase in the rate of battle skill ups while Signet is active. If TP is maintained at or above 100% (no weapon skills used) then increased skill ups will be seen.

But this is COMBAT SKILLS. Not magic skills. So really you only have food and that magic skill up earring. Which, if I'm remembering this right, do not affect the rate of which summoning magic skill ups are gained.

it applies to magic too. Others have attested to this in the past as well.

Something really needs to be done about skilling up. The food makes no noticable difference. I'm finding it more boring than old style partys and its putting me off leveling other jobs.

Pretty much what I was about to add.

The food has causes no noticeable increase in skill ups. I literally skilled up .1~.5 per shot for Marksmanship and Archery from up until around 250-260 (with merits), now I get none. wasting 150k on stacks of food that yields nothing but maybe 5 skill up is asinine. Even if it was always guaranteed to get me 5 skill that's waaaay too much. At that point, just give me a food that gives me straight +5 skill and can only be used every hour or something...

Or give us a "training" ground full of dummies we can fight....

Actually a training area would be fun -- could leverage the Pankration system, make it so you can challenge NMs and old bosses upgraded if you have pankratioon images of them, or just train against dummy mobs that don't attack, but yield skill ups, buy tons of rarer spells if you have images of the NMs who drop them (sorry, but most spells are semi-vital to their jobs and I've never abided how people gouge them and then have the audacity demand new players pay ridiculous prices... but that's more SE"s fault than players')

Sounds like there may have been an issue with target selection. A lot of factors need to be considered when choosing targets. 250-260 skill can cover a wide range of targets, in the neighborhood of around 20 levels from min to max spawn levels across the job spectrum in order to find appropriate targets for a decent skill rate.

You can technically learn Fell Cleave in Sky killing pots/dolls while doing a trial and taking advantage of FoV....but there are far better ways to learn it if your goal is to learn the weaponskill.
