>>Mind if I ask what your reasons are, other than the area being only four rooms? I just tried them expecting to die and it was great.

Usually I have to boost perception to see them 100% of the time, and when I use Eagle I'm stuck with just that buff to perception and ranged weapon. No buffs to defenses usually = instant death for me on a really bad roll. Parry training isn't all that great since I have stance down evasion and they're using ranged weapons. Stancing down sort of makes bad rolls a lot more noticable since they're using ranged weapons (I'm assuming they get an aiming bonuses?)

The spawn can be hogged fairly easily, especially if I use my warhorn like I do in adults all the time. Armadillos die slower because of their puncture/slice resistance and I can get more learning per critter. There is the escaping experience.

I think that's about it for me.

Not necessarily a Big Critter compared to elder armadillo, but doesn't the maelshyvean sinister hierophant train 800-1000. if it does, then this critter can be hunted on the mainland.

Someone remind me how big is "big" again, for the mainland?

I second this.

When I stopped by there, I had problems with TM +800. This is not the case with assassins. But I'll definitely make another trip, it's been awhile.

There's a gap between malchata and DP assassins?

You search the Dragon Priest assassin.

Not for me. They don't teach anywhere near high enough for what we're looking for.

150-200 range

There could really stand to be something above sky giants in the vicinity of Theren or Lang.

<<Given the current distribution of high level hunting, IMO theren area should be the first area to get any new area.>>

How do you figure? Just out of curiosity.

My personal vote would be for Leth, just because it's an amazing place that's pretty dead for hunting past germs and bone wolves.

Solomon, with regards to what classes as "big", what I was looking for is something after 500 ranks really.

I'm not looking to end up at thousands of ranks, I have made the choice to roleplay in the orders above chasing ranks, but I would like to be able to get to 150th circle one day without having to spend a lot of my time on the islands.

I'm a warrior mage, so even getting TM for 150th circle, we only need a bit over 700.

I would say, keep it simple, take the top level gryphons in Rossmans, increase the spawn a little to match the young/babies, and make them train from 500 to 750. Also if possible, stop them stunning as much, I think thats why most people don't hunt in there.

After 750 ranks, most guilds would be covered to 150th circle, yes? Just the Paladin and Barbarian who would "need" more?

If thats possible, I would be a very happy little warmie ;o)

Thanks

I think this goes back to Jerid's (I think?) request that something be added to the Theren area. The undead in Boar Clan do fill a large gap, but BC is a hike and a half for someone whose daily activities/RP exists in the Theren area. Also, the undead, other than togballs which are much lower level, aren't skinnable. This is what keeps me in celps rather than BC.

I generally hunt regular celps on 'Kresh. When I'm in the Theren area, my options are limited to a few things, each of which has a special attack that make it...less than fun to hunt. The big gryphons have thunderclap that stuns and the wing thing that knocks you over. Plus they fly a ton which makes melee training tiresome at best. Sky giants are decent, until they cast lightning bolt (What shield??). The stuff under the swamp is also around that level, but it's a royal pain to get in to, and the cinder beasts explode when they die (that hurts!).

I'm not saying there aren't options, just that they aren't really good, all around options. Big gryphons are good for training ranged, sky giants are decent if you have the evasion, but I know for me, by the time I have enough evasion to be 'safe' in there, they won't be teaching me much else.

Some solid, all around options in that mid range that don't take a half a day to get to (for someone without access to moon mages or boats) would be great.

I think having creatures of every level in every area somewhat devalues climb/swim/athleticism. Theren to BC is a 5 minute or so trip if you train your climb/swim. It's one of the very few perks of training those two skills. It can't be more than 20ish minutes fresh out of the character gen.

I can empathize with the islands being too far, but theren to boar clan? I don't know if I'm buying it.

Malchata fills the skinning need and is a celpeze replacement if you feel like that's a better choice then the boar clan undead.

>Theren to BC is a 5 minute or so trip if you train your climb/swim
And you have thief Hax!

Running some timed runs on Kas. Granted 361 swimming seems to be higher than a lot of Therengians have, but shouldn't scew the time to much from anyone who can make the Jantspyre, and that only requires fairly moderate training even on a survival Tert.

>There is definately a gap between head splitters and assassins. If I dance with a head-splitter for an hour my HP gets to 6 or so. But an assasin rips me to shreds pretty easily.

What buffs are you using? Critter's making that exact critter jump and doesn't seem to have that big of a difficulty.

5th passage is a lot quicker than swimming the Sego, let alone the ferry.
