To make the grade, you have to perform evil acts. Killing little innocents works well, and the fact that they're usually too feeble to fight back is a nice bonus. See killing stuff on my main hints page.
With any other skills, the guild can only provide a very rudimentary training. In these cases, if you need the skills, you'll have to advance them elsewhere once you've maxed them with the guild trainer.
Players will quite often be more than willing to teach you skills. This will cost you XP (see main hints page) just like at the guild, but players will not (usually) charge you. They get something out of it, as they gain some experience by teaching you the skills. You should look for someone with at least double your bonus in the skill you want to advance. Note that learning from a player is more expensive than learning from your guild, so max your chosen skill at the guild before going elsewhere for instruction.
If you want me to teach you, go back to my main page and view my skills. If I don't have over double your bonus, look elsewhere (I could teach you, but it will cost more XP than someone with the higher bonus). Incidentally, you don't have to insist that someone has a massively high bonus to teach you - if they are +2x your bonus the training is as good as you will get.
Just a quick note here - it can be very hard to find someone with double your bonus in certain skills, usually because they have limited uses, and therefore people only advance them to the minimum amount required. Someday you'll understand what I mean...
You might hear Lanfear announce that she is training in Brother David's. She is a good trainer with high stats, and is a fighter, so she's a particularly good choice for advancing your weapon and other.health skills. Lanfear has an automated system in operation. Type 'tell lanfear teach me <skill>' when you are in the same room as her. I've also found Gungho to be a decent bloke who seems willing to train whenever I've needed it - he seems to spend a lot of time in KLK or the Oasis. There are plenty of others who are willing to train you - put a message on talker channel one (see main hints page) but please don't constantly spam the channel if you don't get a response.
If you're really desperate to learn skills, you can teach yourself.
This costs the most XP however. At least you don't have to pay yourself
for your trouble.
However, to use these items you must have sufficient skill in faith.items.rod
in order to hold the item. You may be able to wield the item with less
than the recommended skill, but this will not be reliable and you could
fail when you most need it. Even with the appropriate bonus, you may occasionally
fail. The table below lists all the details.

You should already be aware of what some of these rituals do (see my Rituals Page). The rituals which require more explanation are Know (discover alignment of targeted person); Sanctuary (cannot be attacked for a minute or so - nor can you attack); Bless (+1 to all stats for a few minutes) and Barrier (a short-lived shield).
To use the rituals, you first have to 'hold <item>', then 'use <item> to cast <ritual> on <person>'.
If you have sufficient fa.it.ro. you can see the aura that emanates from the item, and use it as a gauge of how well charged it is. The different descriptions, from fully charged to almost exhausted, are: a strong light radiates; glows from within; radiates a light; glows with a gentle aura; a faint aura flickers within; the faintest glow lights from within.
