Enhancing Magic Skill Gain Rate

[Merton9999]

Wonder what your secret is, I just passed level 200 and it's god-awful slow even with food (which makes a difference but it only upgrades from "god-awfol" to "atrocious.') and I only get .2s and .3s.

Probably a silly question but you're using worms in uleguerand range? I used them from level 30-70. There definitely was some slow down maybe around 60, but it's possible I didn't notice because from then on I was also using them for solo xp. I'd get bored spamming nukes and switch to skill up to have some variety. I took a break for a bit. I'll check it out and see if it gets bad. I know before I was killing them .4-.5 was common and at least every other cast on average resulted in a skill gain. That was just under 200.

This was nice to have though at least. Far superior to indi spam for those levels. The fact that even geo on Aby mobs sounds like it will suck after 300 is just... boo. I doubt the mob type makes any difference for the rate but I've read people are also using the higher level versions of those sea goldfish that only aggro damage. Might be something to try.
