So, I'm looking for something to ease me into gryphons.

Relevant defenses ~220-240

Still catching up tertiary weapons to gryphon level, but with 4 gryphons on me, I tend to get beat up rather quickly. Ultimately, I'd like to transition to forest geni for boxes, but I need to find something to bridge the gap.

Giant black leucros hardly taught at all. Any other options in that range? I believe bandits are a bit tougher than gryphons. Perhaps elder brocket deer are what I'm looking for?

Yep, that's not a problem -- I'll give them a shot. Thanks.

>I find bandits/warcats to be slightly easier than gryphons, provided you can resist the calm spell.

This, even after capping bandits/warcats gryphons still weren't really a feasible option due to being hit too often, after bandits/warcats, island peccs were a better solution and an easier transition.

Amiron says, "Even a mute would have said something about this amount of people being about."

Adan'f Blood Warriors/Shadow Mages are good to start with around those defensive ranks and 40+ Disc to resist the Mental Blast.

Rock guardians are another good pre-gryphon critter (but no skinning). Frostweyr bears are pretty good too.
