where in crossing can one train swimming past 73? i am not a premie

You can try swimming the river to Haven. You won't make it but it should teach you as long as you can swim north once and then south again. Just make sure you have as little weight as possible.

As a ranger I'd say 90 to 100, plus or minus a few depending on some stats. just a guess though.


< Moving with grace, you chop a bo stick at a brown bear. A brown bear fails to dodge. The stick lands a strong hit that vaporizes the skull into a fine scarlet mist (Mom would not be pleased!).

Hiya Hawkman! Well I was able to finally do it around 110 with 20 strength. I'm not sure how much easier higher strength makes it. Really the hardest part is right by the rock where you swim northwest.

>>Hawkman By the way, Swimmo, you still around? Just curious on that. Been a long long time really...

I do not remember a post saying he left, but we did lose a large group of players (Krinahd is the only name that comes to mind right now) to the World of Warcraft game, probably Guild Wars too. Whether they return or not remains to be seen.

Yeah I'll be checkin out Guild Wars this month, already been there, done that, and sold from WoW. Haven't seen Nimmo IG or on AIM since I got back though last month.

>>I havent seen any rangers with his swimming on Yahoo Sales and he would have posted if he was leaving so Im sure its just a little break.<<


I'm back, and i would never ever sell this character even though i got offered 2 grand for him, am i crazy to turn down that type of money? probally. You know what i put blood, sweat and tears into Nimmo. It is not only a character to me but he is a part of my life. The bonds that were developed with that character and other people in game will never change.

To me the friends i've made over the years and the experiences i've gone through with them, whether good or bad surpasses anything i've gone through. Going to Simucons is an experience in itself and it sucks seeing names i've known all my game life on different faces, folks you will never see anyone have a nimmo tag on unless it is me.

Go Go Nimmo!

Sometime ago I was reading backposts and stumbled across all your swimming achievments. Keep at it ;)

Swimming is of the devil!

Good god Rantjur afraid of water? Had that many ranks by 10th and that was years and years ago when there were many fewer places to learn the skill. Still number 1 in my survivals too.

does having swimming at 120+ help avoid wait times for barges and ships?

>>It'll help avoid the wait time for the ferry to Riverhaven because you can swim across the river instead. Other than that, no, swimming skill has no effect on wait times for barges or ferries or anything like that.

Actually, if you have superhuman strength you can swim to the boat really fast, tie a bundling rope to it, and drag it back to the dock where you can board it quicker.

why scout when walking is faster? besides to train it of course...

it depends. if you have the locations down - don't ask, i don't quite have the knack of these yet, getting back and forth to rossmans with scouting should be quicker than taking the ropes with the rts.

I'd like a trail bypassing the gondola.

Or how about a trail from Zoluren or Therengia into Forfehdar?

Also I think the trails on Aesry would be very useful.
