Can someone please explain this mystery to me? I need to train fencing & swords. Can I use the golem in a guild? Can I friend some one to the golem and we all go at it? etc.

Thanks!

Well, the whole point of golem training, and why people want prepatch golems is that the prepatch ones had 100% poison resist, so you would use 100% poisen weapon and never do any damage to the golem. Also, when you have a mage weapon that's 100% posen damage, you gain in magery fightin them. Now golems have a 90% poisen resist I believe, but it is still pretty effective.

If you want to train fencing or swords, you must be guilded for it to work. You must have a 100% poison weapon in the skill that you wish to raise. You take your golem out of the guard zone, and tell it to guard you twice so it's "green" to you. Then you attack it and you'll gain. If you do not tell it to guard you, it will hurt you. If you stay in a guard zone, you won't gain skill cause you won't be doing any damage. If you're not guilded it won't work for combat skill gains.

Thanks Merc, that was the part I forgot!

So this also means only one person can wack at it at a time.

Thanks! *hunts for 100% weapon*

you have to have a certain amount of skill aswell, i think its 75 or 80, in order to gain. ie use a + skill brace or ring to get your skill above that mark.

Ah yea, it's 80+ skill required. Also it's best to just whack your golem by yourself. I've never seen a tag team on a golem before, but it might work, who knows.

Me thinks since you can't have the golem gaurding a guildmate... it will damage them with every hit .

Vepl

That's what I thought I also, but just wanted to make sure before we killed ourselves and Golem

You can spar with guildmates, which I thought they shut down. I got almost 3 points from Ally last night in swords, got me to Master Swordsman! Woot!
