I think for all skills, even if u fail, you will still gain some
'practicing points' which will be contributed to ya skill points in the
r/l. I also noticed that you dun need to allocate a skill point to any
skill to start training it. I've testing with my magery skills and
brewing. I just practise them and they all start to rise from skill 0 to
skill 1. I guess as long as u see the skill on ya persona skill list, you
can train it from zero. Maybe u just need to use up abit more material.
As for brewing case, my skill rise to 1 even I fail the 1st time I brew.
As for the mob link, I think it's quite true. I used to bind myself after
zoning into NRo at the tunnel exit until one day I kena hit by a thug. I
managed to gate out b4 mana run out. I gate to the tunnel exit and sit
down to mediate. All u guys know how far it is from mountain derv camp to
tunnel exit. H/w, within few min the thug come all the way to me, and kill
me b4 I can run to zone. Same thing happened in WC b4, where I was binded
at inn 4 and chased by lion near inn1. I managed to gate to inn 4 with oom
and 50% hp, only to find out the lion chase all the way from inn 1 to inn 4
for my ass. As per normal, a weak wiz was killed....
I think the only way to 'run' away from it is to:
- zone
- death (not feign death)
- kill the monster b4 it kill u.
Once thing that surprised me, YY u can kill SG at ya lvl? Wowo! Tat day I
join the SG hunt, 20 over of us, including few lvl 20s and a lvl 30 wiz.
Took us few min to take it down. Forget abt the shit that some players
said they gain LOTS of xp when if they managed to whack the SG once. All
bullshit. Only the party that kill it gain all the XP and only the looter
get all the loot - chance is that they dun share too. So dun kena con by
the SG hunting groups, hehe. Even as a lvl 16 wiz, SG resis ALL my spells.
Ziltus.
