When can I start hunting rock trolls? Im currently at reavers. I used to play back in the day and I have to get used to new combat, which has thrown the progression of monsters out of whack for me. Also, how hard are their boxes. Thanks in advance.

I would stick it out or find something else for another 5-10 ranks or so, but what guild you are can change all that. You didn't list any magic and a ton of weapons so I'm guessing you're a Barbarian.

I milked grass eels for all they were worth and went to rock trolls without much trouble. I had 55 in weapons and 70 in defenses. Took a few whacks from those pine saplings for a bit, but got past that pretty quick.

Stupid question, but can you move to wurms for a few ranks instead of slow capping eels?

Defiantly. You for sure do not have enough parry yet, and your shield could use a little more love. Some of your lowest weapons should land hits, but nothing jaw-dropping heavy at those ranks.

>>I had 55 in weapons and 70 in defenses

Yeah that's pretty good. I normally suggest a little more weapons so that if they swarm you you can stand your ground.

^This. When I got to rock trolls, 2 on me was just fine, a third and I would start taking occasional light hits, and if 4 got to melee on me...? Well, let's just say it didn't work out so well. My solution was to go stealth mode when the third troll showed up. I hardly took any hits at all and was able to work stealths. Later on, I was just fine with 3 at melee, and then finally 4, but those first few days were rough because my weapons weren't killing them fast enough.

I use poach to work my stealth survivals in Rock Trolls. With them having like zilch for armor and no shield it's like shooting a dolphin in a barrel.
