Ok, so hunting hasn't been going well for me (Many of you may have noticed the repeated *Rantjur has just been struck down! messages)

So, ya. Any help would be appreciated.

110 Leather
110 HE
120 Longbow
125 Hiding
120 Evasion
135 Skinning
135 PM/Harn (with HB and BB)
90 Stalking (working on this!)
...89 Multi (sad, I know)
100 Parry



So ya, I don't mind gargs in shard (not a premie so have to go to shard.) but I don't much care for the area, so I'd like to avoid Shard if I can.

Pending being able to hide (Have EM) I have no problem hunting one critter to train longbow and one critter to train Melee, though I'd prefer to find something right in the middle.

Trying to stay mainland if I can, but am not opposed to going to the islands.

Any thoughts?

It's not too late to start backtraining shield and bringing it up. Armworn bucklers are awesome, even if you use a bow, can do it once you reach 50 ranks of shield, no penalties with STW too.

Both of the previous posters should consider vines/marauders in Theren, especially the first since he was already in Lang. Vines don't hit very hard at all and have a good spawn rate. With the 4 max engagement limit, once you get 4 on you, you don't have to worry about marauders.

The only problem is that it can be a bit of a pain to train ranged because marauders have shields and vines are puncture resistant. However, super wood trolls spawn in three rooms in the marauder-only area and they're okay for training ranged.

Another good thing is that you'll be able to backtrain shield and also pick up some weapons if you want. I'm currently training pikes just through parrying with it.
