Tips for early skilling

• Fo priests should concentrate on Blessing, Morning fog, healing and enchanting flasks of water with Fo's Touch.
• Vynora priests should bless things until 15 channeling, then Opulence food items until 40 channeling (The quality of the food affects the chance to successfully cast Opulence, so a high quality food results in less fails), then use either Vynora's Hand on flasks of water or the various item augmentations (Circle of Cunning, Wind of Ages, Frostbrand etc)
• Magranon priests should Bless objects and make Light token until 10 channeling, then enchant water with Magranon's shield (in a flask for example). Once they reach 41 faith they should cast Dominate on Scorpions or Lava fiends. If you fail it only uses 1.5 favor and you still get the full tick.
• Libila priests should bless objects until 5 channeling, then use the drain spells on a penned animal until 15 channeling, then enchant flasks of water with Libila's Shielding
• Priests whom do not worship Fo should not use buff spells to gain experience (such as Sixth sense), as they yield significantly less skill when compared to enchantment spells such as Opulence or Bless.
• If you absolutely must use a buff spell for skilling for whatever reason, do not cast it on your own body as this will further reduce the skillgain. Use a penned animal or another player instead.

Warlander's method for efficient use of gems:

I have two satchels: in first satchel I am storing gems ql 10>, in the second gems ql <10.

1. Prepare max favor
2. Activate sleep bonus
3. Vessel as many low ql gems as you can.
4. When you run out of favor, wait until you have about 7,50 favor and enchant high ql gem as fast as you can.
5. Repeat until all high ql gems are vesseled.
6. Drain favor from high ql gems, starting with lowest ql gems, make this until you have full or almost full favor.
7. Put ql <10 gems from high ql gems satchel to low ql gems satchel.
8. Repeat from point 3 until you have low ql gems.

Alternatively, if you don't have low ql gems you can cast enchants instead. This method guarantees very good skillgain and long lifetime of your gems at the same time (so you can grind channeling even more).
