Skill gain rate too slow

Scosglen · 12th January 2007, 12:02 AM

OMG......

Tonight I resumed armslore training at 88.6. I watched two movies and at the end I rose to only 95.0. I will admit that I wedged the key but I was watching the screen (mostly.) That is a very low skill rate gain. Can you imagine trying to raise it by "playing" the game?

Aaarg.....

I am raising Armslore and Item ID in case one day they become useful. Soulstone frags for the win!

Yeah, that's pretty slow. Ever since they've taken away 8x8 and did something with the RNG it seems as if any skill above 85 seems to gain rather slowly, and mostly in spurts.

Aye training Magery and Ninjitsu at Black rock have been brutal!

It's not that skill gain is too slow, it's just that there's no interesting way to raise Arms Lore. GMing a skill should take a long time, but should be a lot of fun in the process.

I agree with Deraj. GM'ing a skill should take a while, but it should atleast be interesting to do.
