How can I get bonus experience for a specific skill?

Solution 1:

NOTE: Since 8 October, items such as pendants and recharge gems no longer need to be equipped to give bonus experience. If you have a pendant (they were removed 31 October from the Squeal of Fortune), right click it and select "gain-xp". You will get bonus experience in that skill.


There are many items which do this, most which are skill-specific:

Bonus experience items for all skills:

  • Not necessarily an item, but the Clan Avatar. Gives a 3% skill bonus if the clan avatar has a skill experience boost and is on the same world as you. Gives a 6% boost if you gain experience near the avatar.
  • The Wisdom aura. Boost experience gain by 2.5% for 30 minutes.
  • Fallen stars. Can be consumed to give bonus experience in a specific skill or any skill if it is prismatic.
  • Refer a Friend. If you refer anyone to the game, you get a 10% experience boost.
