Wiki - Training Skills

We have tested out easiest ways to train skills on this server.  This is a guide for how to quickly train all the skills.  Please note we are listing how to train the skills from zero if possible.  However, there is always the option of going to buy skill minimum from an NPC as well.  Also, not all skills can be trained all the way naturally and require either scrolls of transcendence or skill codex to pass certain levels.  If a skill is shown to be trainable to a level in this guide without mention of the need for Skill Codex or Scrolls of Transcendence then it can be assumed it can be trained naturally so long as appropriate Power Scrolls have been used.

 

* Wearing relayers may impede the training of combat skills. It may be required to remove them in order to progress those skills.

Animal Taming
0 - 11.1: Dog/Cat/Rabbit/Chicken/Birds/Rats
11.1 - 23.1: Goats/Cows/Pigs/Sheep
23.1 - 29.1: Hind/Eagle/Timber Wolves

95.1 - 120: Ki-rin or Unicorn

120 - 130: Fire Steeds/Spirit Bears

* Skill may be trained to a limit of 25 above minimum skill requirement to tame a target.

First you should run around taming the hardest things tamable on the list above and one step below it (you gain from failures and you can make more attempts on the same creature more times the harder it is) The mobs won't attack because of young status but they will kill the things being tamed (just don't tell the creature you're taming to kill anything or if the pet dies the mob will attack you).

Once you can tame bulls (71.1) or if your not young go to the road on the west side of royal city and go north till you cross the bridge and tame a high plains boura to kill the things you tame for you (they kill bulls almost instantly and only take 47.1 taming to tame). Then head to Delucia and tame the bulls/great hearts in the area the release and have the boura kill them.

Finish up taming Ki-rin/Unicorn from 95.1 to 120 to kill the Ki-rin tame all you can then run over to blood dungeon and tell them to stay and the undead stuff will kill them for you quickly. If you kill them yourself they will drop your fame/karma quickly and they will attack you on site.

Imbuing
0-40 Purchase from NPC

Loot as many artifacts as possible and unravel them.  You will collect magical residue, enchanted essence, and relic fragments as you unravel items.  Unraveling minor/lesser magic items got me good gains until around 50. (Can be found off spawn in Deceit dungeon).  At 45 skill you will start obtaining enchanted essence as you unravel.  You will get better gains at this point off of lesser artifacts.  You will want to at this point find things that drop a variety of good level artifact loot (Stygian Abyss dungeon for example is a great place to find these, but they can be found on lots of other spawn in various places).  I found the best method was to loot as much as possible, try to unravel the whole bag. If I failed, I kept the items aside in a stash for when I had enough skill to unravel them.  At 95.6, you will be able to unravel Major Magic Items and Greater Artifacts as well as any lesser artifacts with high weight. These will provide relic fragments and skill gain. Once you have 50 Relic Fragments, there is a quest NPC standing by the Soul Forge in Royal City (Ansikart the Artificer, Quest name : Mastering the Soul Forge).  50 Relic Fragments will get you a 120 Imbuing Powerscroll.  Finish training unraveling major magic items and greater artifacts.

100 - 110:  Craft Bulk Order Books. You can go as long as you can still get gains on this, it can only get you to 115 skill likely but the gains at this point will be very slow. You can switch to the special scroll books at 105, however they use a lot more scrolls to craft.

110-130: Craft Powerscroll/Pet Powerscroll books

0 - 130: Use the skill.  Will train passively as well while training necromancy.

Stealing

0 - 100: Use Pickpocket Dips in the Training Room

100 - 130: Difficulty in stealing is determined by the weight you are attempting to steal and is also affected by the chance of your attempt being noticed. Therefore in order to gain in skill you must steal items of increasing weight. The most popular method for gaining is to fill a pack horse with suitable items. To do this you must be in Felucca and you must tell the pack horse to guard you. The ‘guard’ command will prevent you from being guard-whacked. If you prefer not to drag a pack horse around you can steal from a bag at your feet if you train in Buccanneer’s den, where there are no guards to answer the npc’s calls. Fill your packhorse or bag on the floor with stacks of items weighing one stone each – bottles, apples or pears will work, but don’t eat the apples! Open the pack and use ‘targeted’, not ‘random’ stealing.
