Put game in windowed mode. Enter the water and point your camera at the sky while in first person mode. Press Left or Right while swimming and then click out of the EQ window on your desktop. This will make you swim automatically above water in tight circles... you won't go under and your swimming will skill up. Proceed to eat lunch.

Any suggestions on raising swimming skill quickly? there somewhere where you can swim into a corner or something while you eat lunch? :P

easiest way to do it is to find a body of water where you won't get attacked. Then go into it and angle your camera up and start swimming in a circle, while doing this then hit your enter key to bring up chat, your character will keep swimming in a circle. Finally, AFK for the night.

I was curious how people did this. Forget my above post, this is a great idea. lol

The way I did it was to swim in the water off the coast of West Karana, back and forth from the barb huts to NK zone. You can point your view up and swim into the invisible wall in the middle of the river, but angled so you aren't stationary. It takes a loooong time to swim all the way across WK, even with maxed swimming. I wouldn't go completely AFK, but it's good to do while you're eating at your PC, watching a movie on 2nd monitor, etc.

I always play good races, so I just go to Felwithe and swim into the corner on autorun before I go to sleep. Wake up and I am capped. Easy peasy.

you honestly tried posting your question about swimming on forums, before you zoomed into the first person to see if that would do anything? like the people who sit at kelethin lifts saying "i clicked lift but wont work", because they are so dumb they dont try clicking it more than once. or a guy who sits in a zone for an hour with no druids, spamming "need port really bad" when he can just walk to steamfont or BB druid rings and wait 5 secs for a druid to poof up. some peoples kids.

You are correct, I did Honestly come post here before going to First Person view. Why should the two views be any different as far as movement goes? I already use Mouse Look when in 3rd person and it didn't help swimming up and down, so why should I think that it would be different in 1st person view?

I'm just utilizing one of the many resources at my finger tips to get answers to questions. I hope You feel like I wasted your time.

Mistmoore pond :-P.

Get invis and swim against the wall!

(Or Crushbone perhaps?)

Anywhere you are exping- if you are just sitting there waiting for pulls...people to get mana...to join a group..start "auto-running" into a wall while swimming in the water. It'll skill up quickly!

(My SK is like lvl 28? and is maxed on swimming currently :P)
