Forgot to add, I only ask because sometimes the baby/fledgling area is full. I don't plan on moving out of there for awhile because my weapons are lagging behind my defenses more than I'd like. While I'm at it, about what is the cap for baby/fledgling?

Speaking of Gryphons. Is there anything that helps avoid being stunned, and/or knocked down by them?
If not is there something else to hunt that is close in skill and spawn as them?

I'll train those a bit. Thanks.

In weapons, i needed around 220 ranks to start hitting them consistently and i hear they still train well at over 350 ranks.

As for defenses, i'd say 260-450. You'll be able to milk them to 500 or maybe more (except for multi).

>I still get blasted by the older gryphon's special attacks, even with SOTT and WOPT (+15 to reflex/disc). I'm not sure it's possible to dodge/resist.

I assure you, it is possible to resist it. Not sure when that happens though, since I had 99 in the stats when gryphons got released.

It will cost you 444 TDPs to raise your Strength from 99 to 100.

I am not sure what stats are included but I resist them fine, when thier attack does succeed it lasts longer on the gryphons than it does on me. Keep trainin and you will get there.

All of them:)

When I see you in game I will elaborate on that if you like. See you in Storm Bulls:)

<<....how come your using my login as your sig block?!

I'm using in a not-so-silent protest over getting a TAC warning from using a sounded out version of your last name in a post, while you get to run around the realms scott-free with it.

Its more of a 'if you can't beat em, join em' thing rather than a crusade against your name, really.

There is nothing wrong with the name. It's the Japanese element of air.

Let's get back on topic. Thanks!

Maybe its a strength/stam contest? Really, it doesn't make any sense at all no matter what way you look at it...no matter what, when you get hit by enough wind to lift you off your feet, turn you to your back, and send you a few feet in the air, you can't really dodge it, push your way through it, or just be plain disciplined enough to resist it, it happens. But grabbing hold of something or shoving a spear deeply into the ground and holding on makes more sense than the rest of it and would suggest a strength/stam contest rather than a will or reflex contest. While I appreciate the coded logic doesn't necessarily work like that, is there ample reason to assume the GMs WOULDN'T code it like that?

I'm curious if Gryphons would be a good fit for me or not?

IMO unless you boost your multi via dancing you'd have problems with more than 2 on you if 2 didn't hurt you. I'd personally get multi up some black leucros or red leucros would work fine for that and reds would still move your other defenses up to around 260-270

Still locking MO well in orc scouts/vicious warcats at ~250 ranks as a weapon secondary.

I'd also say you should work defenses a bit before going. My evasion/shield average is right around 260 and I can still lock both in scouts/warcats.

Those are two solutions in your immediate area.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm in Red Leuc's now the gen rate seems a bit slow for what I'm used to perhaps I'll look into the Undead or scouts and cats. Though the leucros seem to be pretty safe hunting.

Incidentally, I am a zerking barb for sure.

Safe hunting is the best hunting. If you're learning well in an area there is zero reason to move up to an area that can and most likely will kill you on a daily basis. Only move up when you have to move up.

>>QFT. Dying in combat is an unnecessary and HUGE waste of time.


Says the man who died 15 times a day when he moved to celps :P Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Not necessarily. Changing stances to not dodge as much works wonders. Lower levels aren't that big of a deal because the ranges aren't that much different, but trying to hunt something the next rung up in the higher end critters means you will get the one shot deaths daily. Dinged up is something I would have killed for before they made the change. I wouldn't get all combats near 34 and then get one shot and have to start all over again.

>>Says the man who died 15 times a day when he moved to celps :P Sorry, I couldn't resist.<<

Ha! Ya, but when I got to celps with 500 in combats I had only a total of 8 deaths, and two of those were from being killed by other players.

Flavius- I figured someone would post something about not having fun if not for the thrill that comes with living on the edge close to death. That's fine, but when it comes to training, learning, advancing... dying is still a huge and unnecessary waste of time. I know there are people who like to explore the edge of the envelope because the game is more fun and exciting for them, but when they die in that new hunting area, they wait for a drag, a heal, a rezz, and they have to start over with zeroes.

It's all good. It's the story of the tortoise and the hare. I'm much more of a tortoise when it comes to training. Slow and steady works for me, it doesn't work for everyone.
