skill up where?

[Riggs]

I'm currently trying to skill up great sword using war, i've taken it to 367 fighting mandies in abyssea altep but that appears to be capping out, does anyone have any suggestions bearing in mind i need to be able to solo the mobs as war.
Thanks

thanks for your post on this, skilling up is a massive problem these days, i just spent 3 hours fighting dolls in abyssea with the best skill up food for a wooping 27 points on my great sword, 1.8x multipiler on skill up food is a joke, the worst food should start at 5x and the rest go from there.

I personally will never spend money on food to skill up. As far as GS goes, I've skilled up on the mandragora in Altep. Just by killing a few they can get to be Even Match fairly quick. That and the fact that WAR can use the multi-hit GS on Auction House, though it costs like 1.5 mil now, it has a low damage so you can do more swings against one mandragora. Just sub DNC and stack on the Regen atmas. And if you have any Physical damage down gear, that helps. With the multi-hit as well as a WAR's Double Attack, you wont even need haste.
