time wise, lockpicking by far (i stopped at 97 and decided i couldnt take it anymore)
cost wise, poisoning.

I have one. How many people have tried to GM forensic evaluation? You can't just use that on anyone. You can get it to the mid 90s on the Healer Guildmaster (for some reason) but it takes FOREVER! The only way to GM it is to use it on thieves. And how many thieves are gonna just stand there and let you GM forensics afk, when they know that you are probably going to use it to kill them and their kind?!
Sooooo, really, this skill can only be GMed thru regular use.

Lockpicking took me 2 solid weeks of gating to dungeon chests to GM, ended up making around 450k from jewels/gold and was fairly easy to do if you gate from your house and go through hidden.
Poisoning is cake if you have the right macro and have a second character who has alchemy.
Taming has been the most time-consuming for me, especially when you're at the top of one taming bracket waiting to go into the next (like 2 pts from being able to tame bulls, 2 pts from taming toads, 2 pts from hell hounds, etc.) Seems like you can spend hours afk taming for .2-.3 gains.
Hell hounds have been the most frustrating as they spawn as a group now versus individually, and having to barricade and setup healing macros can easily suck if someone comes and griefs you.
Taming > LP

Lock picking is about as much fun as a bard gets pvm. I made a ton of cash and got TONS of Magic reflect/teleport charges.
I felt like I was playing real osi when I gmed lockpicking, its a blast for solo play.
Gmed poisoning on 2 chars back to back... that was strenuous, and the cost was pretty ugly.
