I'll probably stop with climb and swim for a bit, primarily in Icemule and don't fail climbing checks anymore as long as I'm in neutral stance. I'm working on getting PF to 1.5x and then HP to 1x. I don't really use spells to hunt yet, so I typically come back with at least 50% of my mana as it's only used for sigils (master of GoS).

Using a superior forged lance (6 sec RT), and pretty much destroying anything within 10 levels, but I always have a full set of wizard and ranger spells.

1x in spells hasn't left any room for lores, am I going to start regretting that soon? Should I cut back on the spells for a bit to get some lores?

Anything else I'm missing that I'll start regretting soon?

I'll stick to commenting on your training, since it's fairly easy to put stuff into the stat calculater for max stats.

As always, my first suggestion is to ignore the mSpirit until after 1635 at level 35. There's no real benefit to casting it yourself versus using a scroll/item or having someone else cast it at you.(Plus, with least with AS/MIU, you can use it for other spells and whatnot.) If you weren't Mule based, I'd probably say to drop some of that climbing, but that's a situational thing. The swimming though.. do you need that currently? If not, I'd probably back those ranks out. I'd also back out the First Aid ranks too. This should get you 1635 at level, and get you close to the lores you need to. Both the lores and Beseech are key issues, especially early on for a Paladin.

There's more generic advice I could give about future training, but I think I covered the basics for where you're at currently.
