There are a couple ways. You can read books to raise your skill. Good luck
finding a book on Lizardman though. The other way is more difficult and
time consuming and dates back to Dragonrealms. In that game you built xp in
a skill by learning it from another and sometimes when that xp cleared it
would leave you 1 pt higher than your teacher. Searching for a way to do
this in EQ, some clever fellow found that a teacher can teach you to 1 pt
higher than he has. You then both zone, reverse the teaching, rinse, repeat
until at excellent.

Then please clear something up for those of us who don't fully
understand this.

Given:

- Your skill is awful when you first train it.
- You need a teacher who is excellent to train it up to excellent.
- Everyone started the game at level 1 and awful at everything.

How did the first person who got a language skill to excellent
get it to excellent?
