Hi all, I have a Warrior/Palladin char, and my swords is at around 73. I was wondering how to raise it the most efficiently?

It seems that everytime I fight a monster, I'm always raising healing, parrying, and tactics, but my swords hardly EVER raises. What am I dong wrong, or what should I focus on doing more of?

Thanks!

This is a good question. We have a thread with some info in the skills forum.

Ok, quick question: What's a "golem"?

Tinkers make them. Once you hit 80 skill you can train on a golem made by a gm tinker. Golems have 99% poison resist, therefore, you want a weapon with 100% poison damage so you dont do too much damage to the golem. You train all the way to 120 this way.

A golem is a player made "machine". It can take commands like a tamer's pet. They can be obtained from a tinker, and the average cost on most shards is 5k to 15k gold.

As an alternative to Golem bashing, you can simply maximize your gains by fighting appropriate level monsters, and using the fastest swords weapon you can find (more swings, more opportunities for gains).

At 73 skill I was farming Ettins in the small valley near the Ilshenar Honesty gate. As you get a little higher you might switch to Troglodytes in the Painted Caves.
