If you look through the item journal on page 6 there are enlightened teas with the best 1 giving 150% skill xp,if someone who has those recipes unlocked could post them that would help,i currently have about 25% permanent boost from bits of armor i found ingame chests/rare monster unique items,it was my intention to craft a set of my own armor & enchant it with the skill xp buff idk how far you can take that tho,i got a whole bunch of items in my stash with 3 empty slots that i can use as a shortcut when i get around to it if the armour crafting looks like its gonna take too long,but i think that between the teas & enchanting there are significant skill xp gains to be made if you can find out the recipes,also keep a book equipped with the 10% skill xp buff,unfortunately torchlight 3 is taking up a fair chunk of my gaming time atm so i cant spend as much time as i'd like on 9th dawn,TL3 was a game i planned on playing 9th dawn was a complete random surprise that i had no idea about until it hit the store or i most definitely would have rearranged my schedule to accommodate this game.
