swimming
 

I fell off the boat in temorious deep today and only gained 2 skill ups after swimming for 30+ mins (skill lvl 17) is there a bug with swimming skill now?

I feel like they've gone up abnormally slow on my ranger compared to my earlier 2 characters (2012-2013). I soloed her enough in Kedge to cap it, but it went very very slowly.

You can gain swimming skill by running on top of the iced over rivers in Everfrost peaks. So weird for sure :)

I've not gained a skillup in swimming for minutes at a time, casted True North. skillups nonstop. it still took a while though and i reached my destination before maxing out at 200

If you've got the spare time, head to the East Freeport docks if not kos... jump in, look up on your camera, F9 to a 3rd person camera, hold down forward + left or forward + right.... while holding those, minimize the window.

Open it up again, you should be swimming in a circle without touching anything. Read a book, go to the movies, forumquest for a bit... come back and see how you did <3

PS - not classic.

Also, you can hold forward + left or forwards and right and double tap enter

^^ This version is classic. Also, yes, swimming is slow to skill-up on p99 but the freebies from running on the ice or in shallow water (beaches in NRo/Oasis, for example) kinda make up for it.
