Hmmmm, I savor your ecstacy. *winks*

I had no idea full-trained cus were fetching such a price. That would explain the large numbers of people I see in Twisted Weald training on trapped pixies...

What is the fastest way to train a Cu in healing? I thought about discording a pup to get additional gains, but others swear by non-discorded gains through Rotten Corpse training.

rotten corpses in doom worked best for me letting pup heal thru the poison then bring em back to full rinse and repeat

For Cu training, I generally work them into the 70's on their skills just going to despise and working ettins, trolls and ogres. Also manage to get a fair number of 10th anniverseray arties this way as a bonus.

After that, shadow ele's all the way. I generally will stone music and disco onto my tamer so I can disco the ele or the pup if necessary to align their skills for better gains. I will take them all the way to 4X GM with 90 heal this way. After that, I skip the Weald satyr thing, and the rotting corpses. I've found much faster gains penning them in my house, discoing them, then repeatedly casting poison on them over and over. I can generally GM healing doing this in 3-7 hours per pup, which is WAY faster than corpses, and about the same time it takes in the Weald. The advantage is I don't have to dodge changelings and other crap that some rude players like to drag up and leave.

Thanks for the tip. Never thought of poisoning the pup myself. I generally prefer to gain through normal play, though...which means I'm probably going to doom...or maybe ilshenar...

Incidentally, why does EVERYONE seem to get 10th arties so much faster than me? I swear, my toons are all stuck at the low end of the RNG. Maybe those of us with 123 months under our belt get penalized?

Usually, I go kill 15-20 shadow dragons then hit the fel champ spawn for 10-15 mins. So far (once) that worked well.

For the 10th arties, speed matters. It isn't the fame of the monster, it's how many you kill. That is why I do the best in Despise, just kill, kill, kill. I don't even stop to loot. That works best for getting arties and skill gains on the pets. Also, Fel is good for a 30% increase in your chance, so Despise Fel would probably be a very good bet. FWIW, and sorry to hijack the thread.
