    Skilling ups in campaign please!

    Skilling up is one of my main pet peeves currently, it's boring and really really slow. Depending on the job, it gets even more annoying a prospect, I know you can skillup in Aby but sometimes it's nice to have stuff to do outside of that or you don't want to feel like your on a time limit.

    Is it possible that they can make Campaign the new skillup event in the game? Would breathe new life into it and allow people to have fun while skilling up (hell maybe even add defensive atma type buffs you can work towards with points doing campaign), maybe add a feature to getting a tag that boosts the amount of skillups you get based on number of people in a party/alliance too Would be nice for more events in the game that encourage grouping with randoms but not require it.

    That's a thread I made about ways to make campaign relevant again. Skill ups was one such suggestion. Sadly though, it does not appear that they have any interest in adjusting campaign in any way until their little roadmap is finished. I'd be happy if they did but they basically said they weren't when they replied to that thread.

    huh...what... skillups are slow? They just ramped them up what... a month or so ago? Might need to rethink your targets? You should be able to get them coming in a steady stream now, just need to pick the right targets.

    Are there any guides around for mobs to skill level? I usually just go right to tree and it's still really slow and boring for me on whm to raise staff and club.

    If you can all of a sudden skill up in Campaign again, I still don't think I'll do campaign. With SE increasing the level cap limit for our fellow NPC, to level that is a great way to gain some skill ups as well. If you want to add a magian trial weapon in the mix you may do so as well.

    I think all they did was make it so you can get skill-ups on DC+ mobs. As in, you can get skills off of lower level mobs now. There was no actual increase in the rate you gained skills. I could be wrong but IIRC that's what happened.

    Also, I support this thread... I would like to have something to do to outside Abyssea as well (that isn't endgame related). Campaign is also nice because it's mostly a solo experience, meaning you're not ruining anyone else's experience by skilling up. This differs from any other event because you (usually) want to be killing stuff quickly.

    Skill ups would be a fast fix that could carry it along for a bit. Though skill ups alone wouldn't be enough for it to get to the level it was before abyssea were you can solo and play however you wanted.

    http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Skill_Caps

    Find your what level your next skill cap is. Find mobs that spawn a minimum of 5 levels below that. IE: your A- weapon is at 280, just past 77 caps. You can now skill on anything that spawns at least 72+. Now, find a good target you think will stick around for a while, but has a chance at having decent defense and evasion and go /check it. If it has a decent evasion/defense rating, smack on some. If skillups come, congradulations! If not, find another mob.

    Personally, I've found I can hit 290 pretty easily on an A ranked weapon in sky. The dolls are great targets, 11 per FoV page for a nice spot of xp too if you are needing it, can use the protals righ near some of them to hop to the book to rinse/repeat them pretty quickly too.

    The skillup tweak had an interesting side effect of granting a higher concentration of bigger numbers per skillup in certain ranges. As you level up, you wiill notice a bigger sweet spot on the DC's for the .3-.5's then you do on the T range mobs. don't have any specifics on mob levels for it, it's just something I kind of got a feel for while doing it. But generally, I try to find mobs that pop at their lowest 3-5 levels below my target cap so they remain DC-EM to my skill for a while....and just let the skillups roll in.

    Do this. Then grab 3 Regen atmas and afk in Abyssea fighting Glen Crabs or something. You can skill combat skills to cap while watching tv pretty much =/
