How am I able to get extra experience when training a certain skill? For example, are there any items to modify the amount of experience I get for a certain skill?

NOTE: Since 8 October, items such as pendants and recharge gems no longer need to be equipped to give bonus experience. If you have a pendant (they were removed 31 October from the Squeal of Fortune), right click it and select "gain-xp". You will get bonus experience in that skill.
There are many items which do this, most which are skill-specific:
Bonus experience items for all skills:
- Not necessarily an item, but the Clan Avatar. Gives a 3% skill bonus if the clan avatar has a skill experience boost and is on the same world as you. Gives a 6% boost if you gain experience near the avatar.
- The Wisdom aura. Boost experience gain by 2.5% for 30 minutes.
- Fallen stars. Can be consumed to give bonus experience in a specific skill or any skill if it is prismatic.
- Refer a Friend. If you refer anyone to the game, you get a 10% experience boost.
