easy and fastest way its making a training pit with a graydwarf nest , dig a big hole under that thing and wait to spawn 3 brutes , then start parrying them a lot because have stagg resist , so dont take much time like others mobs
and yes , parry gives 1.5 more exp than just blocking , and use rested buff for extra exp and stamina regen
but anyway take a lot of time haha

Bronze buckler got super nerfed and is no longer the endgame shield. Keep your shield tier up to date and don't use a buckler beyond the swamp. Trolls are especially heavy hitters and only a parry or dodge will work.

Check the wiki for skill XP. XP is per block+parry, but it takes hours to grind even a moderate level with it. Better shields cost less stamina, and parry costs a lot of stamina. The ideal is to get rapidly attacked with a tough shield and weak enemies. Maybe the elder boss(or 5) would be good for shield practice...

there is a iron buckler that works a lot in swamp and mountain , but silver shield its a lil better , and blackmetal shield faaaaar better
bronze buckler isnt was end game gear before h&H , that could parryed 105 ( when bm shield 135 ) didnt make it and end game item xd
