Hi, I've been gone from the game for a while and just got back. I am on Ratha and wanting to train swimming and was wondering where the best place to do that with my 51 ranks is?

Thanks,
Matheast

swimming back and forth between the gap and the foremast will take your swimming to 100 or so ranks, and climbing the foremast with a weapon in each hand will take climbing to 100 or so ranks as well.


You have been vanquished. That is all.

One important safety tip regarding climbing the foremast... When you climb UP the foremast, you are now in a hunting area that has Ochre La'heke. If you linger, they will advance on you and if they get to melee, probably kill you. I usually swim outbound from the gap to the foremast, climb the foremast twice without any delay at the top, then swim back to the gap. This seems to prevent any critters from advancing to pole and then melee, and also eliminates the "You are tired of all this climbing back and forth" messaging.


You have been vanquished. That is all.

I also started training my swimming in Eluned's pool at around 75 ranks...you just go down once and then right back up. Not sure if you can start sooner, but it's worth a shot, locks very fast.

Redeth smiles and points at you with her right hand, then taps herself in the chest with her left. She raises both her hands in the air and whirls both around and then brings them together in a sharp crack of flesh on flesh.

Translation: go time

Do you know how much strength you had when you did it with 75 ranks? Kardlo is a halfling and isn't very strong, so his 80 swimming doesn't seem to be enough to manage yet.

My halfling hasd someplace around 20 str and 25 stam when I started swimming elunds with 80 ranks....couldn't do it if I had ANY type of burden. Now at 130 ranks I can do it with heavy burden, but I'm also at 26 str and 30 stam.
