hey, i was bored today and decided to take a look at previous logs and compare my stats to see how my ranger has changed through the months.

I started my "out of combat" training on the 1st day of June, trying to prepare for the new reqs. Here are my top 10 skills then and now:

xxx	1st June	23rd June
1	Hiding	Harness Ability
2	Stalking	Primary Magic
3	Harness Ability	Hiding
4	Primary Magic	Stalking
5	Shield Usage	Climbing
6	Evasion	Perception
7	Leather Armor	Stealing
8	Skinning	Shield Usage
9	Heavy Thrown	Scouting
10	Twohanded Edged	Power Perceive

My top five gained skills were:
Stealing (by a large margin!)
Climbing
Magical Devices
Scouting
Swimming

Ok, i know this info probably has no meaning to anyone but me but i still thought i'd post and maybe encourage others to do the same so we can compare :D Would be nice to see what skills you guys focus on at different circles and see how other people play/train :)

My logs go back to 1st of April so i'll go crunch some numbers and post again with more complete info :D

Oh.. I always forget the tert magics. Guess PM/Harn have to go into mine between Leather and Parry.

Here it is. 1st of May was missing so i used the next possible one, 8th of May (had logs turned off for some reason...)

xxx	1st April	8th May	1st June	23rd June
circle	33	44	51	51
1	Primary Magic	Hiding	Hiding	Harness Ability
2	Harness Ability	Stalking	Stalking	Primary Magic
3	Climbing	Harness Ability	Harness Ability	Hiding
4	Hiding	Primary Magic	Primary Magic	Stalking
5	Stalking	Shield Usage	Shield Usage	Climbing
6	Shield Usage	Evasion	Evasion	Perception
7	Leather Armor	Skinning	Leather Armor	Stealing
8	Scouting	Leather Armor	Skinning	Shield Usage
9	Foraging	Multi Opponent	Heavy Thrown	Scouting
10	Swimming	Twohanded Edged	Twohanded Edged	Power Perceive

>Holy crap! More then 6 ranks a day!

Think it's closer to 5.5 or a little over per day, but yes.

The first day I got my script put together and ran it, I went from 63 to to 75 or some such? I'd have to go back and look.. my excel file has a huge list of stealing ranks by date and time :/

Survival prime with that secondary pool is just so insanely sick I can't believe it.

>Plus, we started stealing with already very superior hiding and stalking to begin with. And 3 spells that help (EM, SOTT and WOTP). This lets us steal considerably over our heads and get good exp :D

and add in (if your like me) being willing to toss out cash on cj's.. yep. stealing over my head is all I do.

CS helps too if you're willing to run around with held mana. And can easily find a warmie to cast suf (or marry a warmie). Plenty of ways to make stealing move fast.

Just wanted to note that my skill differ may help with the number crunching. ;]
