The method I used to raise Piercing, 1-H Blunt, and Hand to Hand was to
equip with the appropriate weapon and group with some people who were
fighting mobs that con from blue to red to me. Shouldn't take more than a
week to max out each one using this method, any other way would probably
take a lot longer. As far as I know you must be fighting MOBs that con blue
or higher to increase the skills.
