if you where ahazi i might have let you borrow my +18 skill tape...
also best place to go is Dant and kill pikets... but after you get 2 hand areahit 3 (which i recomend getting last lol) endor... if you are going to go swordsman get at least 0-4-0-2 before you even THINK about using a hammer... i used a 2 hand curved blade up to 0-4-0-2, cleaver and hammer are too slow and to inaccurate

Well, you don't really need area3 to do effective area damage. Spin2, which I recommend as first box, works just fine. Make sure you have buffs/armor and go to endor, the jinda cave for example and swing away. I could easily, without any skill tapes or stuff, make 600 k xp in less than 2 hours there. I must say swordsman was one of the absolute fast professions I've leveled. The cave is POI and if it was just cleared by someone else, just roam about in circles around it kill everything in your path or something till it respawns.

i did techniques first to get speed then did offense just do savage quenker missions on dant buffed and with some armour (ubese or mid range compo i used) then target lair and area 1 etc. using a mix of cleaver and speed sliced ph till i got finesses 3 (didn't take log as i had maxed out combat xp from time as tkm) the scythe and ph i brezzed throug t e boxes in a day after getting techniques. also doing missions means you'll get a crap load of cash as well without really realising it

get novice, get buffed, get a power hammer or weapon of ur choice, get brandy, get muons, get canape's (spelling?)
go to dath, do giant baz nitches, 11k a mission to the NW (nice flat ground if u have no scout like me)
get to the lair, slam it once (dont attack the 2 by the lair just yet) wait for all 4 to aggro u and spam an area attack.
after u polished them off, hit the lair half way as usual, either head hit the first one that pops up or wait for the other to appear too and spam area attack.
by the time i was 0/4/1/3 (i already had enough combat xp to get the first 3 boxes) i could take each lair out in a minimal 8 mins. by the time i had 0/4/4/3 and was goin up the last tree i could take out lairs of baz's in 4 mins flat, thats 35kxp every 4 mins, or there abouts using this method.
heh thats the quick way andmy personal fave to lvl anyway, nothings quite like baz's for me, always give great xp, dont poisen/disease etc
but really, just have fun doin it, try out the sweeps, try out the different moves etc even tho most do the same thing, some just have cooler animations, like i think its 2handSpinattack1 or 2, i forget now that does a cool spin around, kneel and stab, just like the old samurai's. i like to use that to finish things off lol.......
anyway, try it out, swords is an awesome proffession and i love it. sadly i just gave up my master title for a bit more of TK, but then i love the grind for the slot for some reason, i like tryin out different proffs not to mention the money u get from grinding them on baz nitches.
But to date swords is the only proffession ive kept for a lengthy bit of time.

I played casually and mastered in 10 days. This was only grinding an hour or two a day. I got to 0,4,0,3 and then went to the Geo caves with a group. Although it is pretty camped there I was getting 3k per kill and when they spawn 4 to 5 at a time it adds up pretty quick. I was getting 15k every 3 minutes and didn't have to ride around on my swoop to the missions. Then once you feel comfortable enough you can move a little farther into the cave. Once I got to the mercs, I was getting 40k every 4 minutes as long as I was the only one in there and it was late at night. Maybe it is just Chilastra, but around 10 pacific that room starts spawning 10 mercs at a time, and at 4500 a pop it adds up quick.

if you are master and have 260k combat exp do 0003 and get speed sliced scythe - rest is hmm 7h like - go for area attacks first. Swordsman is very fast to level if you are buffed in armor and fun too
