Question about weapon skill ups
 

I've finally started using a 1h slash, a Combine Scimitar, on my level 25 druid. I raised skills in one day from single digits to 104 on blue (seems formidible) SK elephants by fearing them. I believe I always got at least 2 skill points per elephant, at most 6.

After reaching skill 104, I've killed 6 or 7 elephants without a single skill up. Am I having a bad case of RNG, or is there a mechanic I'm not aware of.

Thanks in advance.

You are at the cap of that level. On my re-rolled druid I've been keeping 1HB and 1HS capped per lvl. I forget the exact number but I'm somewhere around 100. I've noticed you get 4 skillups per lvl. Whereas the melee get 5 per lvl. By the way my druid is currently level 24.

Thanks for the reply and information.

I was using http://www.eqwiki.net/wiki/Skill_Caps/Druid . So perhaps EQ Live is different, though its possible the chart is just wrong.

Man, I remember on my warrior when I was 48 I decided to first use dual weild. I think it was like multiple levels before my skills even got close to cap, and that was only 1hs.

Def easier on p99

Just keep a weapon of each type and max all your skill as you level, specially if you are a melee...
If you fail to do that, just ask groups if you can skill up out of the group while you wait for a room, skilling is quick when you do that...

Can confirm. Leveled my rogues 1hb using a mod rod and a cracked staff while waiting for group spot to open the other day.

Or just do it in an exp group and let the crybabies cry.

Druid... XP group... does not compute??
