first: this game is all about time sink.
second: i love when i get a new ws or spell by skilling up.
finally: you are doing something wrong if in 2 hours inside abyssea you get no skillup...dumb question, are you sure you are fighting at least decent mob? XD

lol last saturday i got a full 1 point of skillup with valoredge doing a sandoria wotg bc versus a bunch of orcs nm (automaton skill is capped but i suppose its the +10 skill from merit bug that continue to give me skillup)
totally forgot to take a screen so feel free to poidh lol
