How to speed grind skills.

Sleep bonus is stored time, up to three hours. This stored time can be toggled on to give you skill gain affinity in most skills. When you activate sleep bonus the time counts down until it runs out.

• Sleep bonus accrues when you sleep in a bed in a building to log off.
• Sleep powder, when eaten, gives you 1 hour of sleep bonus.
• You can have a max of 3 hours of sleep bonus.
  * Sleep bonus can be toggle on/off using the Zzz button in the quickbar or using the chat command /fsleep.
• You can toggle the sleep bonus bar display in your bar display with right click, Toggle SB. When the sleep bonus bar is white it is active, when it is charcoal color it is inactive.

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 best method is to make 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 When the timer expires the affinity is no longer active.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.

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.
