Find a Mob that cons blue to you - I used the bandits in lesser fay for
this and brought my piercing up to around 40 from 0 with them - and maxed
out my dual skill - dodging and defense as well at 17.

Don't worry bout the kill - find a group that's a little above their heads
- let them get the kills, the loot, the xp - YOU are after skillgain.

If you are using something that isn't gonna do much damage - you will help
them - increase your skill, they don't die so much, get the loot and the
levels they need.

To me - that's win'/win all the way round.
