Training

How do I get trained in other things?

You can just start using the skill from zero and slowly get higher and higher skill. But there is a shortcut. If you wish to learn healing, you should take some money (about 400gp) from you bank and head to nearest Healer. Click the healer once and a menu shows up. Click on "train Healing" and the Healer tells you how much it cost to learn all he knows about the skill. This should be 25-35 skillpoints! An easy way to get skill up a bit to make the trip to GrandMastering the skill faster.

How ever, you cannot train your skill far from an NPC. You need to use it to learn it better.

Something to notice: You can't go over 700.0 skillpoints! So choose carefully what skills to train! Don't worry if you train the wrong skills, as you can set the skills to drop when you reach 700.0 total skillpoints.
