I don't really have a critter suggestion, but I can tell you it's probably going to continue being a struggle. At just under 460 MO, I need 4 of the southern barricade celps to move it off of clear. Not sure if there are critters that are better MO teachers, but from what I've seen lately, MO is the first thing I stop learning in any hunting area.

>>Are Sky Giants too hard for you with those ranks?

I'll give them a shot.

From the chrysalis's manifold and disparate streams of consciousness, you infer that, upon maturing, it will claim its makers as its first sacrifices to the All-Seeing.

Gave the giants a shot earlier, I think they're still a bit over Og's head. Using his best defensive dance and sitting in a purely defensive stance, he had no problem handling 3 at melee, but they didn't move his MO over 1/34. With a 4th at melee, MO started moving pretty well, but they also started landing some shots, and those greatswords start adding up a bit too quickly.

Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll look forward to checking them out a little further down the line. I would also say the gen could stand to go up a bit. Even using my warhorn it took a while to get those 4, without even trying to kill them, and not being the only hunter in there at the time.

Hit up Ratha celps. They teach the same as southies just with worse gen so you won't get overwhelmed. They'll you to southies easily and you shouldn't be too much over your head.

Ratha celepeze will definitely get the job done. Considering you want to keep you character on the mainland, this is probably not the answer you wanted to hear.

Some hunting you may want to try would be the storm bulls in Shard, shalaswar or black apes near Hib, or even poke around the undead near Shard. Considering sky giants became problematic, you may just have to let MO fall to the wayside until you have the defenses to cope with tougher creatures.

Until more (usuable) high level hunting is added throughout the provinces, you are on the cusp of island hunting full time.

>That's very high multi compared to your other combats so you might have a hard time finding something to train it well against without getting hammered.

>Multi is a skill that I encourage to ignore once it becomes a problem. It caps at only 750'ish anyway, I think.

Under current mechanics, multi scales very differently from other combat skills. I would only focus on it when it's holding you back. At some point, it just isn't going to be moving quickly anyway. Multi hard capped shy of 700 in super celps and moved very slowly in adult armadillos at that rank. I can lock it now in elders, but not as fast as you might think.

1004 shield, 1004 evasion, 922 parry (picked it up late), 706 multi, moon mage in elders.

It's a boar. It doesn't like you.

>>Looking forward to moving out to full time island hunting, I have to say. The only thing holding me back/limiting the provinces I've been considering is the RP revolving around the chrysalis in Theren and not wanting to be too far afield if something should pop up with it.

This will change when you get bored of hunting.

I'd say gryphons in rossmans.

Rossman gryphons might teach.. if they actually attacked or did damaging attacks. I learn more from the littler ones there. Matures and up spend more time flying, retreating, and spellcasting, than actual attacks. They die real easy though.

I had the same problem with giants, dodging lightning didn't seem to teach too well, and they spend a lot of time prep/targetting it.

I think I already told you to avoid bulls, 5 bulls for 20 rooms is not fun. Thankfully there's rarely anyone there.

Try the big things out in Muspar'i yet? They're a short walk short barge ride from the chrysalis if you already have a passport.
Maybe basilisks or cinderbeasts in Haven?
and I think the Miseanor zombies might still be a bit over your head?(it's been awhile since i went in there)

I somehow doubt people are underrating gryphons. Ever.

Actually, I did. It was 554. I went to ape after that. It flew to about 540. Then slowed, and became unbearable at 550. But I liked finding scrolls and stuff, so I stayed until 554 when it completely stopped. I can still lock leather there around 600.

How long ago was this? because I'm near 500 and it barely moves with 4

Keep it civil, please.
