Parrying
From UO: Origins - Wiki
Gaining Parrying Skill
As a new player, you can train Parrying easily by exiting west out of Britain and going to the cow pen with approximately ~3000 bandages and 5 buckler shields.
Attack around 8 cows and heal yourself on a loop. This will also work for weapon skill and tactics, except for archery because it will kill the cows too quickly.

Thank you XxX Barbie XxX for the guide!
