Method one is a more casual training regime. It lets you get comfortable with playing a warrior in general, with use of your auxiliary skills such as [[Chivalry]], [[Bushido]], etc. You also get lots of gold and magic items from looting.

Method 1 is by far my favorite way of training. I have nothing against power gaming, I power game from time to time, and I like it, but Method 1 nets a good amount of gold, and gives you experience fighting. I believe there is a lot of be said for actually playing a character, because you learn not only the strengths and weakness's, but you also learn to get comfortable with it.

That being said, let's move onto Method 2.

This method is a little bit of a trick. I assure you, this is 100% legal! You will NOT be banned for using this trick. And if you are, well, you won't be, let me leave it at that. Outlined below is a list of tasks to be completed before you start to golem train:

Task #1: Acquire a 100% poison weapon in your melee skill, or a use best weapon skill 100% poison weapon. -make sure that the weapon you get does not have any hit spell on it. If it does, it will make Golem training that much harder. The goal here is to do the easy routine.
+
 
+
Task #2: Acquire a set of +20 (or greater) jewelry in your melee skill. -your goal with this is that when you put on the jewelry, your skill should show that it's now 100, note, it won't be 100 real, it will be 100 adjusted.
+
 
+
Task #3: Acquire a GM Tinker made Golem. -Hopefully you have a friend who has GM tinkering, and they can make you one. If not, they shouldn't cost TOO much. If you save your money from fighting the ettins and the earth elementals, then you should be good to go.

+
Task #4: Get guilded. -Join a friends guild. If you don't do this, this trick won't work.

This method is a little bit of a trick, but is 100% legal! You will NOT get in trouble for using this trick. You can see players using this virtually every day outside of Luna. This method of training requires a few setup procedures.

Revision as of 12:28, 8 November 2008

This guide is useful for training the Fencing, Mace Fighting, Swordsmanship and Wrestling skills.

Method 1

Method one is a more casual training regime. It lets you get comfortable with playing a warrior in general, with use of your auxiliary skills such as Chivalry, Bushido, etc. You also get lots of gold and magic items from looting.

Method 2

  • 40-120 skill - Attack a pet Golem

This method is a little bit of a trick, but is 100% legal! You will NOT get in trouble for using this trick. You can see players using this virtually every day outside of Luna. This method of training requires a few setup procedures.

  1. Acquire a 100% poison weapon in your melee skill, or a Use Best Weapon Skill one. Make sure that the weapon you get does not have any hit spell on it. If it does, it will make this method impossible.
  2. Acquire a GM Tinker made Golem. Hopefully you have a friend who has GM tinkering, and they can make you one. If not, they shouldn't cost too much.
  3. Once you have your Golem, have someone with 110 Animal Lore find out what its wrestling skill is. The value of this number is revealed in the next step.
  4. Acquire a set of +20 (or greater) jewelry in your melee skill. Your goal with this is that when you put on the jewelry, your skill should be between 10 and 20 points lower than the Wrestling on the Golem at all times. This is to maximize gains. At 40-70 skill you will likely have to use jewelry to boost your fighting skill into the proper range.
  5. Join a guild if you are not in one already. You can also start your own which is not very costly.

Now that you have completed those four tasks, here's what you do:

  1. Grab your Golem and stand someplace. The popular place for this training is outside the Luna bank.
  2. Equip your weapon and jewelry. Remember your skill should be no farther than 20 below the Golem's wrestling.
  3. Say "all guard me". This will make your golem highlight green to you.
  4. Type in "All stop" but do not press enter yet.
  5. Use the Context Menu on the golem and select the "kill/attack" option and target yourself, then QUICKLY press your enter button.

If you do this right, the Golem should stop attacking you right away and you should start to gain. Please be aware, you may have to go through steps 3-5 several times before it works right. If you keep getting hit, just keep using the 'all stop' command.

As your skill increases you should remove the skill enhancement jewelry as needed. Eventually you will surpass the Golem's skill. This is okay because as long as you are 20 points below or above your opponents fighting skill, you can gain your own.
