Fastest Way to Unlock Dual Wielding?

[PureRok]

Just as the topic asks: anyone know the fastest/a fast way to unlock dual wielding.

From what I've gathered is:

1. A (or over all) 1-hand skill needs to hit enemies 2000 times. (I'm not clear if 1 has to do it 2000 times, or if it's added together between all 1-hand skills)
2. 1-Hand skill needs to be level 500
3. 1-Hand Mastery needs to be unlocked.

So what's the fastest way to level up 1-hand skill? I know it goes up by hitting enemies, but does the level of enemy matter? Are there any other factors that go into skill level, or is just "hit enemy, gain level"?

I think it levels up quicker by killing/hitting higher level enemies. There could be other ways, but that's the only one I know of :)

"hitting higher level enemies" Yes,but its very very long and boring tbh (espcially when you need to lvl each weapon 500)

I know a "glitch" that can speed the process a lot faster,you may need to use google to find it

Fastest way, equip a low level weapon, put 2 Sword Skills on your hotbar that can SSC with each other, and find a Boss/Mob that takes a while to kill, and alternate between both skills, best boss is the first HNM trent because he is slow

You Need to land 2k hits with 1h weapon skills

500 is not a requirement but you'll need either 1h Mastery or Star Saber to actually be able to access Celestial Blades once you've unlocked it.

It took me around 28 hours of game play to unlock and master duel wielding

Does anyone know, if you started with example katana, leveled up some in katana then switch over to 1H sword and still get duel wield?

I leveled up most of my weapon skills by repeating the boss fight in the Kurijez Desert (Abyss the Legate and Taurus Grand Admiral).
Go start a solo multiplayer match, set it to Nightmare difficulty, have a full party and then just go crazy.
This boss fight is excellent because your attacks hit the enemy twice if the armor is up which doubles the rate you level up sword and weapon skills. You can increase this rate by spamming sword skills through SSC (Sword Skill Chain) attacks. Activate any sword skill, then as soon as you see a blue flash around your character, immediately perform a DIFFERENT sword skill. Rinse and repeat. You can even just flip between two skills and keep repeating it.
You'll likely have this done within an hour or two if you follow these instructions.
Good luck!
