Me and a mate are trying to get "Advanced Skill Hunter" title, we are up to 48 capped so far! Ive brought enough cap sigs to get me up to 90 skills but... now ive only got 7 skill points left Is there any way to get exp quickly and easy? I know i could farm cave trolls, but its so boring

Any tips or help, would be great!!!

I'm in the same bot as you man...126 skills capped and only 2 skill pts left. Try farming the trolls using a Scroll of Beserker's Insight...if yo utime it right, you can get over 7500 exp a run (so 2 runs=1 lvl).

For me, the fastest way seems to be in Fissure. Normally I recieve 1 or 2 skill points every time I head down there (thus 1 or 2 every 40-60 minutes). Maybe that will help you. Oh, good luck on the title as well!

Does this mean he has to wait until next year (summer is over)?

Too bad you can't trade or sell skill points. Those of us who don't care about the title can easily spare 10, 20, 30 skill points.

Anyway, yes farming in FoW would be easy, as long as you can do it easily enough.

no it means, if you hardcore farm these spiders (when you got a lot of free time, hence summer vacation) you will get lots of experience and skill points, and you wont be that poor either, for a while there, i was getting 100k experience a day, but whatever, there is no other way i can explain how i jumped from 2 million to 7 million experience within a month's time

Clear the area's where you're capping. It also has the added benefit of helping towards the Grandmaster Cartographer title.

I'm after the title too. I've got 97 elites now and I never seem to get below ~30 skill points.

Farming Trolls w/ berserk scrolls - 504 exp per kill.
Protector of Cantha title - 39 skill points
Protector of Tyria - 50 skill points
Canthan quests - Lots of them give skill points, and lots are super easy.

Hmm, I've got Advanced Skill Hunter and my number of skill points never went below 100. Maybe try FoW, I think it must have been all those 10,000 xp quests I did.

Run FF at lutgardis or the luxon counterpart. Each time your group accomplishes that 3 minute quest everyone gets 1 skill point, 400xp, and like 400 gold. Thats how I got mine.
