how do yall level up your skills as fast as possible (world 1-3)

[Geekbar Enthusiast]

my skills are hovering around the 20s-30s for most and they take forever to get xp for i use cards for each skill type if i have them i use both skilling star talents for speed and efficiency and i use any skills for efficiency as well and it usually takes 24 hours to get maybe 2-3 levels IF its a character dedicated to that specific skill Ex Barb for fishing Wizard for choppin etc
im also using stuff like boxes,vials,arcade upgrades, i have stamps but they most are around the 10-20s
im just wondering if there is anything im missing out on that would increase these

also ballons give exp and there are pearls

Honestly dont push too hard for skill leveling. Once you unlock the secret class its third class has two skills to increase XP and proff for other characters who has a lower level then it in what ever skill.

Honestly the most important thing tbh is pushing maps to unlock more content that GIVE more bonus's.

I'm currently in world 4, but I don't remember world 3 being too difficult before I took a break shortly after unlocking world 4. Are you having trouble killing mobs and need the extra talents to generate more damage? Are you having issues tanking their damage and ended up compensating with more and more food? If so, more food consumed will eat into your pool of money to pay for stamp upgrades, the cauldron pay-2-win tab and equipment upgrade stones. Especially if you're buying food that heals more than your hp pool when consumed. Also, if you are having trouble tanking, the dev nerfed world 1-4 mobs' damage according to most recent patch notes. He also made the 5 stamps that you start the game with require less materials to increase their level cap. Both things that should help with combat problems if you're having them. Also, are you trying to just gain high skill levels on skills that characters are specialised in, or are you trying to push all skills on all characters as far as they can go?

But to increase your skilling efficiency or skill exp gain did you:

• Activate the prayer unending energy to boost class and skill exp but only be able to afk for 10 hours at a time?
  
• Activate the prayer skilled dimwit to boost your efficiency at the expense of skill exp?
  
• Craft and equip golden peanuts to boost mining efficiency? Equip golden ham you found to boost skill exp earned?
  
• Boost your hp in order to reach the next power of 10 hp value so that the hearty diggy alchemy bubble is more effective when mining? Such as by equipping golden jam and life potions? You need to change maps for this bubble to affect your efficiency after equipping those food items though. The same goes for increasing your max MP for the Hocus Choppus alchemy bubble when chopping.
  
• Have your action talents like big pick on your skill bar? Or worming undercover on your skillbar when fishing?
  
• Find the owl and kangaroo npc prior to going skilling? The owl provides a general skill exp boost and the kangaroo provides a substantial boost to fishing exp. Especially once their final unlock has been obtained a couple of times for the two of them.
  
• Unlock star signs?
  
• Equip 2 serrated rex rings alongside the other pieces of skilling gear?
  
• Equip at least tier 1 chains from the party dungeon content that boost the stat related to the skill that you're trying to level up? Or equip mining or fishing exp boosting tier 2 chains? Or tier 3 chains that boost skilling speed and afk gain?
  
• Construct the salt lick and upgrade it to the 4th level to boost class and skill exp?
  
• Construct and place the summereading shrine on levels where you're skilling? Its not only for class exp.
  
• Upgrade the skill exp slot of the statue in world 1 so all your characters are affected by the skill exp boost statues that you've been turning in?
  
• Obtain the bloque pet from the dog in world 1 and claim a free pet once a week? Each claimed free pet provides its bonuses even when they're not following you around and doesn't replace any previously obtained pet.
  
• Upgrade your afk gains at the flurbo shop outside the dungeons?
  
• Gain +2% afk gains for your characters with the world 2 merit shop?
  
• Have a Maestro with right hand of action active to boost efficiency on characters with a lower skill level? And the left hand of learning to boost skill exp gain on characters with a lower skill level?
  
• Have a high level hunter providing their family boost. It affects the efficiency of your characters.
  
• Equip skill obols related to the skills you're leveling?
  
• Equip the blunder hero trophy?
  
• I know you said you equipped cards but what card set are you using?
  
• It sounds like you have the supersource and action frenzy star talents which are good. If you're using skilling foods, do you have the frothy malk star talent to boost their effects? Do you have the Stonks! star talent from wellington to turn 27 star talent points into 54 star talent points? Do you have Toilet Paper Postage to slightly boost your skill stamp effects? The star talent Tick Tock to boost afk gains?

From what I remember around that point in the game:
Dont ignore alchemy. Make sure you have the proper cards/bubbles (multi ore/log bubble) equipped. DONT IGNORE ALCHEMY
Always push for the max level of tools you have access to, put the highest level tool upgrade stones into it.
If you've spread your skill points thin, respec and re-focus your off spec into fully skilling
Dont forget about food if relevant. Red pots boost hp which can help with your health into bonus skill efficiency for mining for example. Guess there's not too many that might help for others.

If you've reached a point where your skills feel like they're at their limit, you need to look around for something else to do. You dont need more time in the skills, you need time in other systems which will feed back into it.

Dont forget to level non main skills on every character, gives you a TON of skillpoints. I usually burn candy on skills to get non main skills leveled up quickly, but I understand you probably dont just have a bunch lying around earlier.

Every bit of stats matter, even building up your tools for non primary skills will give you stats that will also feed into your main skills. Upgrade stones as well.

There's also Equinox Valley in world 3 if you've unlocked that area as well as unlocked the resource nodes there. I'm currently getting 291K/hr in the last fishing area in world 2 compared to 10.2M/hr when fishing in Equinox Valley. But you can't afk there. Active skilling only. So remember to auto to use your talents like worming undercover while skilling there.

Oh but there is one other problem with the area other than not being able to afk. The efficiency requirements for getting even a 5% success rate are quite high there. 500K for 5% mining and 1.05M for 5% chopping. I'm not sure what catching requires as I don't have it unlocked there yet. The skilled dimwit prayer is probably pretty clutch for this area to reach the skill requirements. Fishing there is nice because it seems to succeed no matter how abysmal your efficiency is, but the lower your efficiency is the less exp you get. I was getting 539K/hr on my Siege Breaker with 2.58K efficiency. Meanwhile my Blood Berserker had that 10.2M/hr experience rate I mentioned earlier because of his 347K efficiency even though he had the skilled dimwit prayer on. It sure beats fishing up anything in world 2 in terms of exp.
