Completely correct, but I'd like to add that it's always possible to gain, even if you're alone. So it can't hurt to macro hiding while traveling. This goes for 20-100.

But for Lockpicking. You can easily use the Despise levels 20-65

Interesting... got my archery to 55.0 with a crossbow. Have fired over 1000 shots with a heavy crossbow and a regular crossbow since then, and have not gained even 0.1.

[jalabar]

Perhaps there is a 55 limit on skilling up with archery buttes?
