A Note On Skilling

The most important thing when trying to skill is your enemy. Higher level enemies are required for higher skills, and at a certain point kills of too low a level won't give you skills at all. But if the enemy you are trying to kill is too high of a level you might miss too much and hardly skill at all. So you have to try to find the sweet spot, as high as you can go without missing too often. A wise man once told me to aim for hitting (at minimum) 2 out of 3 rounds.

Suggested Killing Guide for skilling: (not 100% accurate)

  • Skills 0-20 Enemies level 0-5
  • Skills 20-30 Enemies atleast level 7
  • Skills 30-40 Enemies atleast level 10
  • Skills 40-50 Enemies atleast level 14
  • Skills 50-60 Enemies atleast level 16
  • Skills 60-80 Enemies atleast level 18
  • Skills 80-100 Enemies atleast level 19

Note that the required level of an enemy depends on your level as well. This guide is probably more for someone level 19+. Lower levels can kill smaller things than listed here.

Next, is your weapon. You can skill with a lower difficulty weapon, or a higher difficulty weapon. But you'll skill best with a weapon for your skill specifically. If stuck between deciding on a lower difficulty and a higher difficulty, I'll generally aim for a lower difficulty. Because hitting is everything. Some people argue more damage = more skills, but higher damage isn't worth it if you are missing more than you'd like.

Another thing to note is that lighter weapons are easier to hit with. If you want to skill fast, aim for a lighter weapon within your difficulty. If you just want more damage heavier weapon, but you'll miss more, but might do more damage in the long run.

Also, higher intelligence + wisdom makes for higher skilling, so Half-Elves skill the fastest, followed by Elves, then Humans, then Dwarves, and Orcs being the slowest.

Remember that all evals below are guidelines. The eval isn't 100% accurate down to these sets of skill ranges, just a player-made general guide to follow. If you have a weapon from within the difficulty and feel you are missing too much, you might want to try a different one.

Axe

Rating: D Attack Type: Chop, Pierce for picks and stalactites
Fast for: Ranger Viable for: Cleric, Paladin, Shapeshifter
Uniques: None
  • Pros: Common, easy to get, duals well
  • Cons: No uniques, limited high end choices
  • High End Choices: Choppingweapon and Stalactite are both good hard hitters, but stalactite is pretty heavy (8) so you will have to expect more misses with it. Butterfly wing axe hits pretty good as well.
  • Two Weapon Choices: Butterfly wing axe gets bonus hits and hooked axe makes it easier to get offhands hits so good together, and the dwarven mining picks just dual well in general, but nothing special.

Suggested skill progression:

  • 0–15 Meat cleaver from manor, a pickaxe from nemaset in newbie park.
  • 15-25 Bigbladed axe from Ravel Village.
  • 25-35 Sharp Axe from Guardian of underground forest.
  • 35-45 Hooked axe from shieldhand
  • 45-100 Butterfly wing axe from shieldhand, stalactite from star caverns
  • 60-100 Dwarven mining pick from Dwarven miner, Choppingweapon from blors cavern

Club

Rating: A+ Attack Type: Crush
Fast for: Cleric, Artificer Reasonably fast for: Non entities, Shapeshifter, Paladin, Ranger
Uniques: Krakadoom, Stone Smasher Maul, Onyx, Destructor, Hammer of Gralain, the Big Un
  • Pros: Common, big damage
  • Cons: Heavy, bad parry
  • High End Options: The heavily jewel encrusted mace(hjem) is very popular, but inferior to the other high clubs. Krakadoom(kraky) is still probably the most damaging weapon in the game. A word of warning about the Stone Smasher Maul(ssm) – when you first wield it, it’ll look great - +1 strength and giving you bone crushing messages all the time: unfortunately, those messages aren’t real bonecrushes and only do about 8 damage. The Destructor is only really good for dwarves. Huge warhammer(non-unique of kraky) not too shabby either.
  • Two Weapon Options: Well-balanced battlehammers and thats about it. Good use for anyone, but Dwarves get uber bonuses with them.


Suggested skill Progression:

  • 0-20 Fishing poles from Salty John, ‘Hammer’ from random hobbits in Hobbitat, frying pans.
  • 20-30 Gnarled Club from Dalair.
  • 30-50 For clerics: Mace of Crushing(moc) from Drow Caverns. For everyone else, long-hafted sledgehammer from underground forest
  • 40-60 Well-balanced battlehammer from shieldhand, warclub from anasazi
  • 60-100 Heavy Jewel Encrusted Mace (hjem) from Orc Mountain.
  • 70-100 Huge Warhammer or Krakadoom from Frost Giant Steading, Destructor (for dwarves) from Blor’s Hideout. Stone Smasher Maul from Massive Stone Giant, Dual wbbhs if you have the two weapon to support it

Curved Blade

Rating: B- Attack Type: Slash
Fast for: Non Entities Viable for: Ranger, Paladin, Artificers
Uniques: Blade of Sethic, Eagle Talon, Flamberge, the flame sword
  • Pros: Decent mix of damage and parry and lightness, dual wields well
  • Cons: Somewhat Rare, mediocre damage
  • High End Choices: The katana has pretty nice parry, and the orcish sabre does reasonable damage, but neither are exceptional. Eagle Talon from the eagle clan is possibly the best curved blade in game. Or the [Uniques#Curved Blade|Flamberge], if you can get it for your skill. See its page for more info. [Uniques#Curved Blade| Blade of Sethic] possibly good because 2handed, but can't say. See its page.
  • Two Weapon Choices: Orcish Sabre has been often used, assassins blade and hasashiyyini blade from hasashiyyini both give bonuses to two weapon, the sharpened keen steel scimitars from shieldhand dual decently and give +20 riposte.

Suggested Skill Progression:

  • 0-20 Snickersnee from orc minions.
  • 20-30 Hooked sword from packrat guards in star caverns
  • 30-50 Long Katana from underground forest.
  • 50-100 Katana from Zhammar.
  • 60-100 Orcish Sabre from Dalair or Drakhiya.
  • 0-100 Flamberge, the flame sword sets itself to your ability, but will not go down in difficulty if someone else has had before you.

Exotic

Rating: A Attack Type: Differs. Elemental orbs good with everything.
Fast for: Ranger Viable for: Paladin, Cleric
Uniques: None
  • Pros: Not much, though the top exotics are very good
  • Cons: Very rare, somewhat slow for most classes
  • High End Choices: Elemental orbs were the only choice for a long time, they do fire or frost damage depending on which you have, and so work very well on armored things. Now there are the thraxi mandibles that are two handed and do good damage, but are heavy. Shears are decent and good dualled
  • Two Weapon Choices: They all dual pretty well due to low weight... but only ones worth it are the orbs and shears, shears being more difficult, but actually have specials for offhand.

Suggested Skill Progression:

  • 0-30 Weeding hook from Nepeth, carpenters saw from tantallon sea rescue, grapple from rogues or tant. sea rescue
  • 30-50 throwing star from Grorkag in nepeth, shears from ray in his farm.

Flail

Rating: B Attack Type: Crush
Fast for: Cleric Viable for: Paladin.
Uniques/Document Weapons: Morning Star, Flail of Ancient Demolition, the Xenophobe
  • Pros: Good damage, very nice high end choices now
  • Cons: Heavy, somewhat uncommon
  • High End Choices: Morning star gets a very nice bonus when hitting humans, and does reasonable damage anyway. The vicious looking flail is just your average high end non unique. The flail of ancient demolition is a 2hander that has chance of knockdown. Dire flail is a semi unique that has a high skill requirement and level requirement, occasionally causes enemy to freeze up. Two handed mithril flail generic semi unique. The Xenophobe is a document weapon, and like most document weapons, is great.
  • Two Weapon Choices: Not a whole lot of good options. Cat o' nine do ok but pretty meh damage, rangermade whips and maybe other whips like the scythe one and lizard one.

Suggested Skill Progression:

  • 0-20 Iron Shackles from Drow Caverns, thin vine from hopkins squash

Knife

Rating: D Attack Type: Pierce
Fast for: Everyone Except Mage and Necromancer Viable for: Mage and Necromancer.. lol
Uniques: Shadowspawn, Gemmed Rondel Dagger
  • Pros: Extremely common, light, easy to dual with, raises very quickly
  • Cons: Very little damage
  • High End Choices: The nailfile is fairly heavy and still so-so, stone daggers are incredibly good against the stone golems, but fairly useless apart from that. Silver knife is actually decent vs undead, but still somewhat crap. The Main Gauche doesn’t do very good damage but it has very nice parry. Best option is a document weapon, kings blade. Shadowspawn gives +2 strength to rogues only, and needs to be fed corpses or it'll take your strength away, and not very good damage anyways.
  • Two Weapon Choices: Really all dual well except the nailfile and stone daggers, the assassins daggers from hasashiyyini however are designed for dualling.

Suggested Skill Progression:

  • 0-20 Rusty knife from newbie ship, or anything you like. It all raises very fast anyway.
  • 20-40 Elven dagger, Sai, Whittling knife, anything around that level.
  • 30-50 Rondel/Gemmed rondel daggers
  • 40-100 Gigantic Nailfile from Zhammar.
  • 50-100 Stone Dagger from Tharanack, Main Gauche from flaw, shadowspawn for rogues.

Longsword

Rating: A+ Attack Type: Slash
Fast for: Paladin, Ranger Viable for: Non entities, Cleric
Uniques: Starblade, Bloodred, Pendragon, Evil Blacksword, Diablo, Sword of Virgis
  • Pros: Extremely versatile, fairly common, very good balance of parry, weight and damage
  • Cons: A little less damage than the other A+ weapon classes, hard to dual
  • High End Choices: There is a wealth of choices at the high end. Starblade is very good for a tank, especially a non entity – high parry and +20 to all your resistances, and also a free light source. Exquisite rune swords are very common, do solid damage and parry reasonably well, fine broadswords sacrifice some of this damage for better parrying. Pendragon has a bonus for human wielders and the good aligned, and is only good for those. Outstanding sword is one of the most damaging non-uniques in the game, but comes with mediocre parry and is very heavy. Diablo does nice damage and has very nice parry, but seems to be way slower than usual weapons for raising your skills. The Sword of Virgis isn’t easy to get, does average damage, but does come with a nice +15 Longsword skill.. for females. The pristine thraxi arm from thraxi is pretty good.
  • Two Weapon Choices: Theres the hasashiyyini lonswords that give bonuses when dual wielded specifically, Elven longswords from andellen are light and dual ok, silver longswords are also light and good vs undead stuffs. Maybe golden sword from fubs because it is light.

Suggested Skill Progression:

  • 0-30 Dark Longsword from Drow Caverns, broad sword from morin farm
  • 30-40 Golden Sword from Fub’s.
  • 40-60 ‘A longsword’ from all over the place, silver longsword from Neville
  • 50-70 Rune sword from Zhammar and Vorpal Blade from the lich.
  • 40-100 Diablo from Proud Knight, pristine thraxi arm from thraxi
  • 70-100 Exquisite rune sword from Burnham and Proud Knight, Starblade from Star Caverns, Pendragon from Nepeth, fine broadsword from Scythe camp, Sword of Virgis from Amazons(for females)
  • 80-100 Outstanding sword from Brunswick, various document longswords

Fast for: Paladin Viable for: Ranger, Cleric
Uniques: Awesome Scythe, Orcish Poleaxe, Malign Pikestaff
  • Pros: Solid damage, heavy
  • Cons: Rare, hard to dual wield
  • High End Choices: Orcish poleaxe is very good damage for a 1hander, the awesome scythe is two handed and your average high end. The best option probably the steel poleaxe from shieldhand, two handed. Theres the pristine insectoid arm from thraxi thats also very good but also very heavy, also two handed.

Staff

Rating: B+ Attack Type: Crush
Fast for: Cleric, Ranger Viable for: Mage, Necromancer, Shapeshifter, Non Entities, Paladin, Artificers
Uniques: Glimmer, Staff of Azakath, Glimmer, Oaken Staff
  • Pros: Common, fairly versatile
  • Cons: Damage somewhat lacking
  • High End Choices: For mages still learning spells, Glimmer is the single best item in the game. Azakath and Tetsubo are also good for those mages and necromancers with the skills and strength for them. Iron shod a good generic high end. Staff of torran is very good damage and also gives AC. Then there is the chain-staff document, but needs two weapon to use.
  • Two Weapon Choices: Chain-staff works on two-weapon some, otherwise black staff from the yeti caves is light and gives +1 to dex, so not bad idea.

Suggested Skill Progression:

  • 0-15 Crooked staff from Belob, branch from outside ravel, light staff from fredd
  • 15-30 Old staff from Drow Caverns, quarterstaff from smiling citizen in nepeth
  • 30-50 Snake staff from Drakhyra.
  • 40-60 Pine staff from Academy, Elven Quarterstaff from Elven Defence Forces, staff of protection from iceforge
  • 50-70 White iron stick from Ravel, iron shod staff from jush.
  • 60-100 Staff of Azakath from Mount Kresh, Tetsubo from Zhammar, Carved Staff from lizard village.
  • 80-100 Staff of Torran from iceforge, chain staff document weapon
  • 0-100 Glimmer from Alton’s Caverns (for mages).

  • High End Choices: Crescent does very good damage, as does Mighty Battleaxe. Great mithril axe and rakar both also do fairly good damage, but rakar has a special command.

Two handed sword

Rating: A- Attack Type: Slash
Fast for: Viable for: Paladin, Ranger, Rogue
Uniques: Elvenheart, Powersword
  • Pros: High damage, reasonable parrying
  • Cons: Heavy, rare, slow to skill, especially at the start
  • High End Choices: Elves and half-elves obviously should wield Elvenheart – making a puny character one of the highest physical damage dealing. Steel greatsword from felgands pretty awesome, otherwise shadow sword or powersword are ok.

Suggested Skill Progression:

  • 0-40 Sword of Frost or Stone-Cutter sword from Giant’s conference.
  • 40-60 Large Sword from Frost Giants’ Steading.
  • 60-100 Shadow Sword from Razar, Elvenheart(for helf/elf) from Fort Vaugn, Powersword from Asvyan’s Domain, Steel Greatsword from felgands
