Having fallen just a bit shy of 424 with my sword on PLD - the skillups just dried up at 416. Martial Master doesn't do a thing to assist. Food doesn't help. I wanted to cap this - - maybe should just forget about it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You could skill off DCs in Dynamis and the new enemies introduced in various areas that are above Lv90.

Note that only Heroes zones will work well. Scars zones capped mobs are barely d/c, so they won't give a ton of skill ups. Visions zones won't skill you up at all even with mobs at capped level past around 95.

97 is actually the last level Visions zones will skill you up, as they go to a max of level 90. 98 is when 90 stops being DC and becomes EP.

Duriumshells have worked fine for me. They're in Vunkerl Inlet (S), and are 93-94, which keeps them DC at 99. Got hand-to-hand to 424 (A+ cap) there without any problems, and as an added benefit you'll get plenty of Ramuite from the frequent thunder weather (and some Garudite from wind weather).

Fei Yin on the bats, pots, and ghosts near Qu'Bia Arena area. They're decent-challenge to even match at 99. Wait for Martial Master kupower buff for best results.

Latest skill I capped was dagger on thf in abyssea-altepa on manigordos.

Mechanical Menace in aby-uleg are also highleveled enough to cap your a-rank skill if im not mistaken.

Don't forget to eat skillup food (saltena, elshena, montagna).

A good way to find T+ mobs is to just invade an exp party's spot. If they end up inviting you, you can switch to triple attack atmas.

This. I've seen 5 solo/duo people here at once and still didn't make a dent in the number of shells available for pulling.

There's 20 mobs here I believe. Which neither aggro nor link. In a space barely bigger than your Mog House.

Also besides the bonus of Garudites and Ramuites there is frequent Too Weak Air Elems for easy Wind Cluster farming on the side.. Nice depending on your craft/s of choice ^^

I've capped every skill since playing again, from 90-99, in Abyssea. This includes ninjutsu, katana, polearm, evasion, etc. Just play with those jobs and your skills will cap sooner or later.
