i found a bug in the mentor system that ups some of ur skills to highest for ur lvl,
not tested so variables may be wrong
1. invite someone to grp with u that is one lvl below you
2. later on invite someone the same lvl as you
3. mentor then unmentor the 1st
3b. fight till the skills you want to upgrade, upgrades 1
4. once the second person leaves invite someone else to join two lvls below you
5. right after you invite the third person mentor the 1st then unmentor about 45 secs later.(when you un-mentor then skills upgrade)

this upgraded my ordination, peircing & defence from 176 to 180 the 3 of these skills were used during a fight after i invited second person
(36 troub i did this in zek)

Nice! Have you actually tryed this a second time or are you just trying to recall what happened the first time? Coz it could just be the off chance that the pop up was lagged, its happened to me before.
Anyway, i'll try it (as soon as i find 3 ppl), have you tryed it with the mining skill? Or with less people? Because the second fellow who just joins and leaves sounds pretty useless.

i tried it agian and it raised my peircing from 178 to 180 so it does work i dont think the second guy is needed though i will try w/out him today and report if it still works

didnt have time to play yesterday, but today i tried w/ 3ppl and w/ 2 it only worked when i had all three people...
every skill ive tried with it works so i'd think mining would work (also launchpad nor windows made a difference on/off)

I tryed it with a friend of mine and it didn't work. Although he was 3 lvls below me, you should try out a few ways to see exactly what needs to be done.
