Default NPC Skill Trainer
I have been having problems with skills going past 21 (specifically, skills like Blacksmithing, Tailoring...crafting skills basically). Even with the server rules set for Skills:MaxTrainTradeskills set to 250, these skills were not going past 21. Some say that it is a client issue...so...here is what I did to fix this...

I made this perl script (my first quest type script)...

Code:
###################################
#Zone: All (Global)               #
#Short Name:                      #
#Zone ID: 55                      #
###################################
#NPC Name: Teacher_of_Norrath     #
#NPC ID: All                      #
#Quest Status: Complete           #
###################################
sub EVENT_SAY {

$myskills = $client->GetSkillPoints()-1;

if($text=~/hail/i){
quest::say("Greetings, $name. Have you come to me for my [teachings]? I can only teach you more of what you started learning from your Guildmaster and only if it does not exceed your level. Make sure to [zone] after I am done teaching you.");
}

if($text=~/zone/i){
quest::say("Yes, you must leave this zone after learning from me so you will see the results of your lessons. Even your Guildmaster will not recognize your achievements if you do not zone first.");
}

if($text=~/teachings/i){
$pcskills = $client->GetSkillPoints();
quest::say("I can teach you many things with your $pcskills skill points. I can teach you more about [alchemy], [baking], black[smithing], [brewing], [fletching], [jewelry] making, [poison] making, [pottery], [research], [tailoring] and [tinkering].");
}

if($text=~/alchemy/i){
  if ($client->GetRawSkill(59)<$client->MaxSkill(59) && $client->GetSkillPoints()>0 && $client->GetRawSkill(59)>0){
    $skill_from = $client->GetRawSkill(59);
    $client->IncreaseSkill(59);
    $client->SetSkillPoints($myskills);
    $skill_this = $client->GetRawSkill(59);
    quest::say("I have taught you a little more about alchemy from $skill_from to $skill_this.");
  }
  else {

}

  }
}

if($text=~/brewing/i){
  if ($client->GetRawSkill(65)<$client->MaxSkill(65) && $client->GetSkillPoints()>0 && $client->GetRawSkill(65)>0){
    $skill_from = $client->GetRawSkill(65);

    $client->SetSkillPoints($myskills);
    $skill_this = $client->GetRawSkill(65);
    quest::say("I have taught you a little more about brewing from $skill_from to $skill_this.");
  }
  else {

}

if($text=~/jewelry/i){

if($text=~/pottery/i){

    quest::say("I have taught you a little more about pottery from $skill_from to $skill_this.");
  }
  else {
    quest::say("You are not ready to learn more about pottery.");
  }
}

}
...and named it Teacher_of_Norrath.pl. Then i put it in the templates folder. Now...you can make a brand new NPC for this script but I decided to use something useless on my server...the Priest of Discord. I have a small MiniLogin server with a handful of players and no one does PVP, so by using the Priest of Discord I can take care of this teacher in a more simple way as the Priests are already spawning next to towns. So i ran this query in MySQL...

Code:
UPDATE npc_types SET name='Teacher_of_Norrath' WHERE name='Priest_of_Discord';
...now when I boot up my server...the Priests are now Teachers and they will train your characters past 21 in some select skills. So, whenever I update my PEQ, I simply put my perl script back in the templates folder and rerun the MySQL query above.

Now...he his training is for free but he will keep an eye on your available skill points and will not let you spend more than you have. I hope this is helpful to some.

I had to change a couple of things because the teacher was not teaching to the level I wanted...so...

The templates folder would be for a global npc that appears in multiple zones. That's ok, but if you only put this npc in one zone then the perl file can just be put in that zones folder instead of templates.
The connection works automatically if the perl file is named and matches the exact name as what appears in the npc_types table or if the file is named the id of the npc that is in the npc_types table. So it could be(number made up) 1234353.pl or Teacher_of_Norrath.pl

One other step you'll need once you get everything in the right place is to #rq or restart your server.
