What if there was a way, as a student, to increase the efficacy of a class that you really wanted to learn from? Perhaps there could be some sort of "active listening" in which the student couldn't engage in any training-type activities (much like during instrument playing), but learned at an enhanced rate from their class?

Maybe this ability would require expenditure of concentration.

Yes. There are many, many times where I'd gladly give up a huge range of actions to get more benefit from a class.

Teaching (for me anyway) has to be the most boring skill to train if you are really trying to get serious ranks (for guild advancement).

I have a young cleric that has a really hard time with it and surely there is a better way. So far, I see some pretty good ideas so far:

1. Passive listening to other classes in the area.
2. The "attentive" ability to allow you to focus on a class, to the detriment of doing other actions.

Those are two that stand out in my mind.

Learning teaching in TF as a Cleric is completely despicable.

I would prefer something akin to compendiums. Whatever form or nuance it takes, allowing teaching to be taught without actually teaching something would be great.

I've seen many people requesting classes over the past few days. If you make yourself available as a teacher here you can get some ranks, even without 500 in a skill.

Clerics can also use the scrolls sold on the Crossing Temple Grounds to learn Teaching. It isn't great, but combined with the small amount of Teaching granted from rituals early on, you can easily get 15-20 ranks in the first night.

In TF you really just need to find a teacher, of which there are plenty on any given night. Just gotta ask around.
