Greetings Sklo. This is a first of hopefully a few skill grinding guides for those looking to maximize their gains. I most likely will not go in depth on simple skills such as blacksmithing, which simply use a spam creation tactic from start to finish.
REMEMBER! Wurm unlimited follows a success based grind, guides for grinding on wurm online don't work too well here.
Before I begin the grinding tips, it is important to maximize your skill gain bonus whenever grinding. I won't get too much into the nitty gritty details, some bonuses stack additively and some multiplicatively, you want them all on regardless.
The first 3 add together, the last 3 multiply everything.
Assuming you are PoK, with CoC 100, and using a food affinity:
Vyn/Sklo followers can hit 615% skill gain
Everyone else 571%
Now lets move on to actual skill grinding guides.
Channeling:
That's all for now folks! I uh... didn't really prepare much else at the moment. I might just have to list off the best items to spam for each skill.

Oh boy everyone's favorite skill.
There has been a lot of debate on how to do this, and the community is about 90% in agreement of bless all the way. Did you know... dispel is actually faster?
It is! I could bore you with all the little details and math, or I could just make a chart.
Shown here is a comparison of how many casts per hour you can get off each spell, which is determined by how many times you can cast the spell plus 30 seconds for each sac.
For example, at 60 favor you can bless 12 times then sac to refill favor, taking a total of 2:30 to complete the cycle. You can dispel 6 times, sac, and repeat. By the 2nd sac you've done 12 casts and refilled your favor in only 2:00. 25% faster than blessing!
Of course, there is one potential downside. Dispel, while it doesn't actually need to remove a cast on something, can fail, unlike bless.
Dispel's difficulty is relatively low, but I don't recommend trying to grind using it until at least 40 channeling. You should see little to no failures after that.
Just be sure to stock up on a whole lot more garlic. Twice the favor means twice as much! Ah, the price you pay for speed.
