Enhancing skill up?

[lavaroach]

What is the best/quickest way to skill up enhancing magic on a brd/smn/blm/etc (not a rdm) at 75?

[Spekkio]

first of all, get on blm; brd and smn don't have native enhancing magic. second, pick a spell with a short cast/recast time, like protect (not protectra) or a barspell. now make a macro for a few different spells and mash them. watch TV while you mash them. fastest way you can skill it up and it's still painfully slow. it's not unheard of to reach 75 rdm and have a gimped enhancing magic skill, even if you are refreshing/hasting/etc as much as you're supposed to. skilling enhancing, summoning, etc skill just sucks in general.

[Saraphym]

the best way is to go solo on blm or smn, because you get exp + skillups = win. obviously the faster way ^

summoning skill is suuuuuuuuper easy now


you can't skill enhancing on smn btw

[Martinius]

brd and smn as far as i know don't have native enhancing skill, which means you can't get skill ups while casting enhancing spells with that job set to your main.

that said, as a black mage with capped enhancing skill(200), my only advice is this. it will go very slowly, and standing outside of your moghouse spamming spells will only frustrate you. it's fine to do if you're waiting for besieged or something, but don't make a career of it. what i do recommend is teleporting often, always keeping up stoneskin and blink, and offering to d2 everyone in a party or alliance after an event. also, embrace your laziness... if your HP is set in whitegate, don't run back from the AH, runic portal, or anywhere else... warp yourself. slowly but surely, your enhancing skill will cap. mine got there about a month and a half after my blm, which was my first mage job to 75, hit 75. its only benefits, btw, other than the coolness of blue text, are the assuredness of even numbered calculation for phalanx and stoneskin. which is not to say that it isn't worth having capped, but it isn't something worth stressing over.

BESIEGED.

Spam protect/shell/haste whatever on the NPCs, your rate of skill-up on them is much higher than players.

Yeah, I've heard that this is basically like turning Enhancing into an offensive skill with the amount of skillup.

I dunno, I capped mine easily farming on RDM.

They like made it hax fast to make up for it being worthless for so long, just solo and stuff you get skill like 2/3 blood pacts, summons, anything you do.

Oh man, I want to sex you up.
Why didn't I think of that?

[Nirokun!]

its these new, fast-exp PTs that have people uncapped on their skills

BACK IN MY DAY

people died everywhere, pro/shell was always recasted

a whitemage hasted his/her PT members

a whitemage didnt have divine veil, and we erased -everything-

we used barspells (element and status) when we fought goblins, flies ("omg you stupid nirokun, use baraera, everyone knows cursed sphere is wind damage! im a 75 whm and i know better than you do!" "fuck you! baraera isnt doing anything for damage, im using barwatera for venom and its working" "you're retarded and you'll never get in an endgame shell"), and the like

a whitemage casted sneak and invisible on everyone in the PT, because the rdm only casted spells on themselves, or on the mob

a whitemage casted blink and stoneskin whenever they wore off, yeah, we took hate back then because nobody could hold it and we'd still have to cure

a (smart) whitemage loved their regens

and last but not least, we taxi'd and people moaned and groaned about 500g. you'd get that one guy who ruined your "pay when you arrive" service, and you had to take money before leaving lower jeuno. and yeah, our shouts were awesome and creative.

Nomad Moogle. You want to sit nearby it in case a GM is watching you or whatever.

[Kainstryder]

Besieged. Find a Volunteer or some NPC no one gives a crap about, just don't do this on a General, they'll be fully buffed constantly. Find a NPC, and just spam Protect 1 over and over and watch your skill literally sky rocket. This also works for Healing magic. This is much faster than the Barspell @ Rabao thing, but Rabao is better when there's no besieged going on.

I did basically the same thing for skilling up healing magic for my smn (my lv. 37 whm had underleveled healing magic skill due to a lot of nin tanks). Set up a script macro alternating poisona and cure (with non-uniform pauses), went to Tavnazian Safehold nomad moogles as whm/smn, hit the macro and it'd cast till I ran out of mp, then I'd switch subs real quick, switch back, then repeat.
