Skill gains at Blackrock area

Vindicator · 6th December 2006, 09:58 AM

I don't know if you guys have heard about working skills in the blackrock areas. I was introduced to a rather safe area (the occasional blackrock ele comes but we run) anyway you can gain MAJOR skills their each time you gain you will get between .2-.5 in that skill no matter what your skill is at. Last night I went there and gained 3 full points in Ninjitsu beating my horse.

Here is some info on Stratics:

This is infact NOT a bug or exploit and we don't know how long we will have it, so use it while you can. :grin:

What, pray tell, is a 'blackrock area'?

Mercenary · 6th December 2006, 06:25 PM

The places where blackrock spawn in the lost lands.

I GM'ed poisoning last night from 0-100 in 6 hours. It is INSANE.

I'm going to work my tailor and some other guys as well there, CRAZY.

edit: the best spot i have found, is if you go south from the light house, and teleport across the river. You go west along the river, then stand as close to the first large rocksurface you see, near the blackrock crystals, and train away. Again, as previously stated, INSANE gains.

I tried rasing my magery there but only .1 gains can give coord next you are there merc?

Mercenary · 7th December 2006, 04:17 PM

I don't use UOA or UOAM so i can't give coordinates, however, here's a screenshot of where you go. Like I said, you go south of lighthouse in T2A, teleport across the river, then stand near the stones, where everyone is in the picture.

I was near there but vortex and blackrock elementals kept attacking me

I have a character who's Parry has been stuck at 109.9 for well over a year. He gains in everything else. Maybe I can find a good critter to fight over there and see if it helps.

Is this broken?

I got a .1 gain and that's all after 2 hrs of work.

Don't know about now, last night it was working fine.

If something attacks you, just run east. When the blackrock stuff gets out of the blackrock area they teleport back to where they spawned. So all you gotta do is run east for a little bit, down the road then they'll teleport back and you'll be fine again.
