I was bored one day while the Treasures of Tokuno were going on while on my theif/stealther in the fan dancer dojo. He has 80 magery natrually, but uses a magery boost magebook and mage jewlery to get to gm magery. I scribed him a few summon daemon scrolls and got him to where the single daemon spawns on the end of the second level of the dojo and wanted to see how a summon daemon would do vs a wild daemon. Guess what, I didn't even have to heal the blasted thing once.... till it times out. I got my theif to Glorious Lord in about an hour and a half or so, but mind you this is my theif that kills almost nothing and had very very neg karma due to having stealing and necro on him. So, if you have Decent magery (60+) and can find a spellbook and some jewlery to get to at least 80 magery and know of anywhere you can get Summon Daemon scrolls, head to a slow daemon spawn like that in fire dungon lower level and camp away. The wild demons will not dispell (or at least didn't for me the many times I have gone back on other charactors) and by the time the daemon you summoned times out, even without med or focus you shoudl have enough mana to cast another one. Only tricky part is knowing about when your summon will time out. And of course, having a peacer makes it go faster and helps with the transition of making your new one. Fel Wind woudl be faster for gains of karma/fame if it is worth it for you, but is it worth the risk on a crafter?
Another thing to point out is that ANYONE with UOSE or higher on their accounts can control a lesser hiryu. Lessers can deal a decent amount of damage but obviously are not immortal. Hope this helps you get enough fame that it will not mater if it decays only a little bit. Dieing though is suposed to drop your fame level by 10%
