This is awesome news for my BRD, been wanting dagger skills. Even tried getting a tree skill up going this past weekend. XD
Maybe when I get out of work this afternoon I'll try and jog out if nothing else is going on. Thanks for the info Tiger.
Also.. be more careful not to hit fans with your golf balls, seems very rude. Although you were at least a good sport about it.

Sweet, thanks for confirming that Tiger. I have plans to do this but didn't want to distrupt others.

I have another question, I have gleened from the thread that it's a pain to get there, but what kind of mobs do you encounter to get ther aside imps and demons? I might run out there now if it isn't to hard, also on a 1-10 how hard?

Alright, saw people talking about Dyna weps and figured these would be best for it, just wasn't 100% sure they would hit for more than 0. Thanks again.

Also, as far as the 1 DMG thing goes, am I the only one seeing a 75 WAR with a GA hitting for 1 damage anyway? What would be the benefit of using the minimum amount of DMG in such a situation?

The ones that'll give you most trouble are the true sight mobs.
Cointeachs and other undead - Sound, HP
Gargouille - Sight and Sound
Taurus, Imps, Amphipteres - True sight.
In regards to True sight mobs, theres an Amphiptere and a few imps around the campaign fort, a taurus or two between the fort and the bottom of the stretch before the castle, and a fair few taurus and an Amphiptere between the bottom of the hill to the top.
It's a bonus if you do the trek when theres a campaign battle active in xarcabard.
If you decide to use flee after being aggroed as suggested earlier, know that you'll need to examine a door before being able to enter. Try to avoid demon aggro near the door, otherwise you might be hassled with 'event skipped'.

Sounds like a lot of fun just to get there XD

Siren.Enternius said: Dynamis weapons for skilling up? What the For the weapons that don't have low dmg verions, it's your best option if you want to skill up afk, since you'll get the most hits before it dies and if you're afk, you don't really care about the delay anyhow. (For example setting this up and going to sleep w/ dyna weapon vs
You'll wake up w/ a lot more skill ups w/ the dyna wep since it'll take many more hits to die.

At least not with the intention of getting something done.

Ported over from BG, so going to quote his OP. Figured that I'd share it with you all
SephYuyX said: So, since im done using them, I might as well let the people know who already didnt. But you can get free skill ups on the Zvahl Fortalices in Castle Z (S). Not like skilling up is hard anymore, but if you wanted to take a weapon from 150 to cap in a few hours while afk, it's kind of nice.
There are 4 forts that ive found in baileys (there are some in keep to, but never looked for them), and they have about 5k hp. Using an event weapon (halloween spear) I skilled on one hitting for 1~2 dmg for about 3 hours. It took me about 4 forts to get 100 skill levels. If youre sub 180 skill, youll need a good amount of acc.
Supposedly theyre supposed to be gaurded, but theyre not, so w/e, enjoy them while they still work.
Basically, find the lowest dmg possible weapon you're trying to skill up and it'll last longer (for example, I'm skilling up gax now on my war since I lv synced most of the way, so I'm using Trainee axe (1 dmg 504 delay).
Well, gonna go shower while I skill up
Sorry pups and mnks, not gonna work for h2h, since your base dmg (from h2h skill) will kill these off much much quicker.
[Mod note: This caps at level 82. Still works as of Feb 2012.]
