I am training Provoke and this guide has been terrific. Right now though I am at 111.7 and barely moving on Cu Sidhes. I have 2 of them trapped on 2 boats and according to the stratics calculator I should have about a 30% chance of success. Well I am hardly ever failing and I can honestly say I am having success about 90% of the time if not a bit higher. I am at 100 music with it locked and I am only using NPC bought instruments to keep my success rate low. Is it possible I got 2 crappy Cu's and there barding difficulty is low and I need to try 2 more? Maybe the person that tamed them paralyzed them during and lowered there stats and barding difficulty? (<-- is that even possible?) I have gained great to this point only using 2 targets like 2 Gamans all the way to 80ish then 2 lesser Hiryus all the way to 110 and in both cases the gains were steady and semi-quick. Any thoughts on this?
