The trainer NPC won\'t train your sword skill beyond 10.
The people that got 72 (someone I know even 88) sword skill, that\'s a bug. It totally screws up the game, they can kill a trepor in half a minute (when it\'s not hitting back).
Currently the only way to test is by bug-abusing. Rats are like way too weak for most people, but they cant take on anything stronger due to a lack of defense. So people resort to hitting monsters that arent hitting back and abusing a very high swordskill.
For example, the only monsters I can train at, I kill in a few hits.
