Unless it has changed recently, sandies teach TM up to exactly 100 ranks.

However, some of the way TM learning works has changed, so min prep snap casts may not teach all that well.

You didn't mention which spell you are casting, and where in sandies you are hunting.

GZ is better than FS for learning TM, and the lair is where you should go if your defenses are up to handling a full swarm of sandies at melee.

Also, prepping at a couple of points above minimum, and waiting for the 4 seconds for the fully prepped message i a slightly better thing. Sandies do have enough MR to mess with min prep snap casts, in my experience.

Hope that helps.

>>Trains me alot faster than ALA ever did. Later on use the same macro with CL. CL will teach you for the rest of your warmage life.

Or until CL gets the Nerf bat.

GZ certainly trains best, but I can also ML by rapid firing min-prep ALA's at stuff. I must be at a golden point of combat/targeting harmony where everything moves pretty well.

120's combats, 140's targeting, and I hunt vipers and serpents.


I know this: if life is illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and am content.

I, too, used ALA at this point. I normally prepped at min and harnessed 3, because the extra bit of damage it did helped bump up the learning a bit.

Even now, while I mostly use CL, I find situations where ALA teaches a bit better mana stream for mana stream (e.g. a parrying swamp troll that has cast both SUF and ES on itself).
