Hey all,

So I after I finished some intense overall Survival Training I only needed 1.33 ranks in my Primary Weapon to circle. I assumed 43 was a Wall Rank since at most I was pulsing 3% at Perplexed and Above, 2% around Very Muddled to Perplexing, et cetera. I didn't think much of it because I only need 37% to rank up. But then 44 was that way the entire time, and 45 is doing the same thing with barely noticeable pulses. I thought I'd just increase my mentals (INT and WIS both at 12) but Heavy Edged (my primary weapon) seems to be the only skill acting this way (seconday, Longbow, hit a wall at 41 but quickly loosened up). Armor skills seem to be going along okay in the same vicinity and I think even some Tert Skills like Mech have gone up in rank more frequently (albeit at lower levels, but then again I spent 3-4 hours doing JUST COMBAT to get that 1.33 ranks in HE and Mech Lore went from 36-38 from scraping skins). Any thoughts?

Ooh interesting, at which Learning State should the pulses approximate at?

I only thought it odd because my HE seems to be pulsing at the very same, very slow rate for 3 Ranks (the end of 43, all of 44, and now the beginning of 45, will train up and calculate exactly how much I'm pulsing later). I'd be happier if they were getting more difficult to learn because then I could assume at some point the skill would also open up (a la the Drowning Rats in the Covered Barrel).

I don't mean to bust your bubble, but the rumor about your wall ranks will start at different times then others is false... I base my wall ranks starting from zero, and its accurate.

BIOLOJ - You are starting to do what I used to do... Checking ranks every 10 seconds to see how much it increased... Think of it like this, if you look at the clock all the time, you are going to figure time is going WAY slow... Stop checking your skills so much, just try to act like they don't exist and just play and have fun. For a whole day, do what you usually do.. Mark down what you have that day, then at the end of the day, check your skills... See how much you progressed... If you want to check your mind state, just type "mind" and thats all you really need to know if you are murking up.

Best of luck to ya...

Thats odd then, because I had quite a few ranks in everything before joining the Ranger guild, yet all my wall ranks base off as if I had started from 0

Its the same with my new character as well... I dunno, but I heard that rumor a while back. And yet, I still don't see any proof shrug

For me at least, all my survival wall ranks are set up like that, yes.

7 15 23 31 39, etc.

Weapon ranks are

3 7 11 15 19 23, etc.

And magic is

1 3 5 7, etc.

It's only after we've lost everything, that we're free to do anything.

That's very interesting, Teek and Xelten. Myself, most of my wall ranks are divisible by 8, by which I mean 8 to 9 being the hardest (or 240 to 241). I do have one or two survivals that are "off one"... that is, they hit the wall one rank sooner than others. But by and large, most of mine are pretty much divisible by 8.

Then again, Muras is probably older than most of you. He was rolled up probably five and a half years ago. Things may have changed.

I haven't taken the time to really track Pep's wall ranks since he was re-rolled but Kalika now gives you several ranks of many of the surival skills. That may mean my wall ranks are all over the place. <shrug>
