taking forever to level up skills

[crashhat69]

Is it just me or does it take forever to level up your skills online?

[TjCase85]

Ill report back with an answer once I can play for more than 2 hours without my character being deleted.

Longer then usual, yes. Probably done on purpose to lengthen game time.

It's just you, I feel like the time it takes to increase a skill is just fine

[Orrangejuice]

The fastest for me was probably driving, simple hour of doing races maxed it out.

[Durden]

Yeah, it takes much longer than in SP.

 

Shooting - use the shooting range of ammu-nation. This is the best way to upgrade your shooting. You want this skill as high as possible to store more ammo.

 

Strength - sports and arm wrestling are the best ways to upgrade it. This is also important, because it reduces the damage you take.

 

Stealth - Not an important skill, but good to have. Just silently takedown enemies with a knife. Remember to turn your mic off, because the NPCs can hear you and will turn around.

 

Lung Capacity - Pretty useless. If you want to upgrade it, just keep swimming underwater.

 

Flying - Really doesn't seem to affect flying that much. This is hard to level up.

 

Driving - This is important. Remember to do wheelies, stunt jumps, and drive in the wrong lane as much as possible. I find the best way to increase it is to drive in the middle of the wrong lane with a motorbike, or just do races.

Whar does the driving stat actually do though? I maxed it out earlier from racing but could not tell the difference.

Better handling, I think. I don't know what else it does.

[Coyteria]

I have 100 stamina.

Possibly, I remember in San Andreas it was noticable when you had low driving skill but in this I can't tell.

[Omnicr0n]

Oddly yes!

 

I've leveled my driving up to 80%+,what seems like four times now! Oh wait...!

 

Thanks Cloud

You won't be able to tell since you're levelling it up.

 

Or it just barely effects anything.

I actually like that. It makes it feel more enjoyable when you level up your skills. If only I could keep my character!!!

[JUX]

I'm level 24 and my Shooting, Stamina and Driving are all maxed. IMO it is way too easy to level up skills.

Flying : what got this skill to start leveling up for me was steal a chopper, drop in the military base and steal the jet. you will see when in a plane and looking at the map, specific runways at the two airports ( YES, there are two ) will have blinking yellow dots. land on these runways. After my second landing that is when my stat jumped up for me.

Certain ones. I maxed out stealth in less than an hour.

Mind telling us what you did?

[TimFL]

Do the "Arms Race" race (Start -> Online -> Jobs -> Host job) solo and set lap to 50 or so. It took me exactly 35 laps to max my skill out (I was almost done with the bar nr 2 out of 5 when I started).

[MeGusta90]

Driving and stamina are easy.

 

I recommend leveling shooting right away

Having an ammo cap under 700 sometimes doesn’t cut it
