 ====== Freth's Speedgrinding Guide ======
-How to speed grind skills.
+===== Overview =====
-Sleep bonus + Affinity moonshine + Quality enchanted tools = Max skill gain
+The best way to maximize your skill gain is to ensure you're using the following:
+* High quality tools (not the starter tools)
+* Enchantments on your tools
+* Runes on your tools
+* Sleep bonus
+* Unfermented moonshine
+* Rarity
+===== Quality =====
+Quality affects speed and success rate.  The faster you can do an action the more actions you can do in a shorter period of time.  You only gain skill on success, so increasing your chances of success is important.
+Note that speed is hard capped at 1.5 seconds on Mythmoor.
+===== Enchantments =====
+Speed and skill gain enchantments go a long way toward helping you skill up.
+* **Blessings of the Dark** - Blessings of the dark increases both skill gain and action speed when using a tool enchanted with it. This functions as a combination of Circle of cunning and Wind of ages; for example, a 50 power cast of this spell has the same effect as a 50 cast of both Circle of cunning and Wind of ages.
+* **Efficiency** - Reduces difficulty of skill checks with the item.  Stacks with BOTD, COC/WOA and Titanforged. Useful for making high level improving easier. 10 minute cooldown on Mythmoor.
+* **Titanforged** - Increases speed, efficiency, and skill gain.  Stacks with BOTD, COC/WOA and Efficiency (additive).
+Tip:  If you are skilling up an alt, trade your best enchanted tools to your alt for fast skill gain.
+===== Runes =====
+Apply a skill or speed rune to your tool.
+* Rune materials are acquired in the PVP zone on Northlands, which is located in the middle of the map.  Upon a creature's death there is a 1 in 100 chance of a rift pillar appearing.  See [[rune#acquiring_materials|Acquiring Materials]] for more information on getting rune materials.
+* Runes stack with enchants!
+* See the [[rune#skill|skill]] runes.
+Keep in mind the speed cap of 1.5 on Mythmoor.
+===== Rarity =====
+Rarity gives an additional speed bonus to your tools:
+^ Rarity ^ Speed Bonus ^
+| Rare | 0.1 seconds faster |
+| Supreme | 0.2 seconds faster |
+| Fantastic | 0.3 seconds faster |
+Keep in mind the speed cap of 1.5 on Mythmoor.
 ===== Sleep Bonus =====

-===== Affinity Moonshine =====
+===== Unfermented Moonshine =====
 Like sleep bonus, foods and beverages can give you a skill gain timer, but for one particular skill at a time, based on the recipe made by the crafter.  While you can get decent timers with food recipes, the longest timers are achieved with unfermented moonshine.
 * When you drink moonshine the affinity timer starts.  When the timer expires the affinity is no longer active.  The affinity acts like a toggle, either on (active, counting down) or off (expired, no time left).
-* Certain players make and sell affinity moonshine.
 * You can get over 2 days of affinity in a skill with high quality moonshine, however, most players only grind a few hours at a time.  It is more efficient to drink the moonshine from a reed pen for 2 hour doses.
 Tip:  Always drink water first before drinking the moonshine as you would be quenching thirst first.
-===== Quality Enchanted Tools =====
