Skills:

90 Longbow
88 HE
79 Parry
95 Evasion
67 Multi
91 Leather
94 Hiding
61 Stalking
102 PM and Harness (spells including Branch Break, Swarm, and SoP.)

Now, that in mind, I'm looking for something in Zoluren that will teach me really well, preferablly skinnable and scrapable. Boxes aren't much an issue, I have more box skills than I know what to do with at this point.

(You tap a brass pin that reads "Trust me because I am not a Thief!" that you are wearing.)

Now, snowbeasts down in the gash teach me really well, but they're a real hike to get to.

And no, I can't hunt leucros, as several people have suggested. Well, can't melee hunt them, anyway. Even with a capped SoP up and no burden, they still hit me and I can't hit them.

Bow hunting them is another matter, but I'm looking more for learning my armor (which is, primarily, the only skill that ever holds me back.)

Vipers teach me well, but, not being a shield user, I am sure alot of you can understand my hesitance to hunt in a place where I'm liable to be stunned easily.


So, any suggestions? I hunt gargs in shard quite nicely, but alas, I'm not an estate holder, so can't do that in Zoluren.

Hmmm, that makes it a bit tough. Young ogres would work, but only blood wolves would get you skinning. Gargs - as you said - aren't in Zoluren for you. Black leucros would be too hard and silver are in Ratha. I can't think of anything off the top of my head except young/scout ogres out past cougars while skinning and scraping the blood wolves in there. Scout ogres are a pain, though, so you may want to run. They are nasty with their crossbows. I am sure someone can think of something I can't.

Try cats and maidens out past Dirge. I'm sure the sprites won't do much for you but the maidens will give you a run for your money. The fire cats are really hard to skin. Keep a sprite at your back while you play and work that multi. Other wise you can join me in crocs, specially with your FA, the only problem will be getting them to gen more than one at a time.

I hunt the ogres and train my longbow and hiding there, but its too much a hassle to melee them. I can hit one, but it takes me awhile to hurt them badly enough to kill em, and I hate having to use my magic to knock something down JUST so I can hit it. I kin hit em alright, but most of the hits are light strikes. 90 is a hair too low to fight ogres full time, methinks, but with 33 agility, I do decently.

As for the scout ogres, they dont frighten me much cept in big groups.

I like to hunt crocs, Hanryu, so I may just tough it out up there.

Vipers if you have the stamina?

Considering the impending shield release, I'd suggest picking one up and getting to work.. would make vipers the perfect spot for ya. Reavers would be a good place to build your shield/multi while still getting some good skinning.

Grave worms in the grounds of the manor south of Leth taught me quite well in that range. The carapace slivers you skin from them are worth a decent bit of coin (a little less than a viper sac if I remember correctly) and you can work secondary weapons on the bone wolves.

Noting the new shield changes to be coming out, I may start picking it up again. Alas, I've quite a bit of work to do.
