Learning skills require skill points. As long as you have a skill point, you can learn a new skill. As long as you have the proper weapon equipped, you can use the skill. Some skills such as heals have no specific weapon requirement. All of the starter skills can be learned from the correct NPC in town. However, starting at level 30, new skills have to be learned through scrolls that are dropped from rare enemies. These scrolls just require you to have 1 skill point and use the item. Use the item and you will learn the skill. Each skill also has a different skill cap. Each skill point will increase the power and mp cost of the skill. The mp cost can go up to extremely high amounts early on. You also get more skill points per level at higher levels. At level 1 you only get 1 per level, but at level 20 you get 2 per level. Unfortunately the ability to spam potions makes healing and mp healing absolutely useless.

Grinding is fairly easy as long as you follow enemies of the same level. Its not difficult to get 0.5% per kill when soloing and 0.9% per kill when in a share exp party. This exp is pretty much how much you will get for a long time. From level 1 to 50, a good party can get that same amount of exp throughout by just sticking to fighting strong enemies. The most effective way is to fight enemies that are aggressive and spam your area effect attack. The difficult part is obtaining the mp pills so you can keep spamming. Its not difficult to get 10% every minute doing this even at the middle levels. The downside is that you have to visit town frequently to stock up on hp and mp pills to keep spamming and some training areas are a long way from town. The mp consumption of skills are very high so its not hard to spend 200k in pills in an hour or two. If this is the case it helps to get the speed walking skill to reduce downtime. Partying is much more beneficial and the bonus for having a full party of 5 is much more beneficial. Any less and you won't get that much, but is still more than training alone. Parties are automatically set to share exp. There are also rare enemies that only show up sometimes. They drop a huge pile of loot and at least 1 unique item every time. They also give a nice amount of exp.

Quests are fairly useless. They are very time consuming and the rewards are poor. The money rewards are low and the exp rewards are even lower. As far as I can tell, there is no benefit to doing anything other than the tutorial quest so you can learn to play. The rest are just a waste of time and effort. Finding a group of friends to form a full party of 5 to leech with is much better.
