been playing a paladin for maybe 4 months now...and made it to 49th circle. been training pretty hard, and now have the best mount ever!

I would like to introduce you to Sloth, Loyal mount and killer of Addrius. (i have the log to prove it too. it's pretty humorous)

but you'll have to say hi in game if you really want to me both of us.

<<4 months, 49th circle

<<don't really have much to say other than my, things have changed

I was going to say something too. Then again, I haven't circled for quite some time.

I've got a friend who started playing maybe 5 years ago or something. From circle 1 I reminded him that he could (and should) train more than just the minimum requirements to circle. Something I didn't do when younger and am paying the price for it. When I'm done, I'll be just below circle 60 and have over 8k total ranks. I wish I took a snapshot of my character when I started backtraining so I know just how stronger I am for it, not only in terms of knowing more weapons, armor etc. but all the TDP's I've gained.

I don't know many people IG and stay to myself alot (RP choice) so I don't want to say that there are a lot of circle chasers out there. But it's something to keep in mind.

I started playing again with a new character just about 2 months ago. Level 42. And I don't play 'full-time'. Things have definitely changed.

Nah, its reasonable with any guild. Paladins especially.

1-30 takes like a month now. Without even being that hard core, and before the exp changes.

That is not that hard, For example in the TF noob tourneys where everyone rolls up noobs and has 1 week to train then tourney at the end of the week most people get in the high teens easily. I know in the last one my noob was 27th and wasnt event he highest circle.


Granted that is 24/7 scripting but still......

I guess I'm in shock. I don't want to be the guy that says "back in my day" but I must of been doing my training backwards, cause it seemed like it took me forever and a day just to hit 50th, when Mriss was the "it" place to be. So, if you keep this pace up, just outta curosity like to spar you in 5 months and see what happens.

"Back in my day"... Well, I made 50th in about 6months, as did Ashkei (we were pretty much neck and neck) and that was like 10 years ago. Things are a tad easier now, so 4 months? Absolutely doable and probably without much difficulty.

Too bad circling couldn't cure Ashkei's retardation. That guy got on my nerves.

The best way to make that decision for me personally has been to look at my tertiary skills that are of importance to combat/pvp.

In pallies case perception and magics. Don't neglect mech lore. Most have very high hopes for the forging system that is a half decade in the making.

Why did you choose to only train one armor as a paladin? You're robbing yourself of so many tdps.

And work >hunt into your combat script, low perception will be the bane of your existence if you don't

Like Jerid said, play in the manner that allows you to have fun. Looks to me that your ranks are pretty solid, so no worries.

I would toss in more armors, but meh only helps on TDPs.

I don't know if you were aiming this at me or not but showing your stats was unecessary boss. If blazing through ranks is your thing then have at it. I would hate for you to make the same training mistakes alot of us have made in the past, but to each his own.

P.S. Train your perception hard, my young padawan.

The highest mobs are stealthy (armadillos and resuscitants), but overall I'd say no.

Most aren't. But some are. For instance, you have to watch out for laches trying to knock your noggin with a brick.
