Training Skills

[Crash]

I am really confused about the whole training system. I already read the player guide which kinda helped and confused me even more. Each stat has like 4 different color bars in it which makes it soo much more confusing. I think i have an idea of how it works but id rather someone to clearify it for me before i mess up something. I greatly appreciate any help on this.

Thanks in advance.

BLUE bar is you progression points (meanin if its all the way across you have enought to do all of that training)
RED is incomplete, YELLOW is theory to learn, once all theory is learnt it turns GREEN after that go and fight more monsters and the green bar wil go up more (GREEN is practical) until it gets to the end and you get a lvl up on that stat, the process will repeat for the next level

Ya this kinda hurts my head too!

   Atm I\'m a thief (I screwed my char gen big-time) and killed some defenseless rat beasts for two progress points. I then went to the magic shoppe and bought two skills in \'the dark way\'. my green bar moved up slightly (but only a very small bit) into the yellow but I didn\'t level up. Was this a silly thing to do? is it impossible (or at least v.hard to become a semi-magic user type spellsword?)

can you advance in skills without training? I.e advance in the sword skills just by fighting monsters alone?

On a comic note I got killed by the Carkcass (sp?) in the death realm for 3890 hit points

Oh btw I\'m settin\' up shop selling potions in dsar Akkaio if anyone wants to drop by...

EDIT: OMG! that sounds complicated Demar! /me pouts

~simplified~

Kill monsters for exp
exp gets to 100% = Prog point
 ~ repeat for desired amount of prog points
go to ye ol trainer that you desire
Train in which stat you want till all yellow goes all green
go fight more monsters (using the skill that uses that stat) ie dark way would be dark magic :p
~~repeat until cahtbox shows message \'you gained a point in swords\' or whatever
~~repeat until at desired level

thanks for clearing that up for me..
i think i just lost the 9 prog points i put into sword, damn linkdead!!!

offtopic:elscha:what kind of potions can be made currently? if u wanna be really nice you could briefly tell me how to make them as well

Then what does it mean when you are fighting a monster and it says \"you have gained some practice points for sword\" or something like that?

[Keyaz]

you leveled up in sword mordaan, your sword attack should be a bit better now! mini-grats :tup: i\'d relog before it loses it

[Mordaan]

I\'ve had that a few times but my sword level still says 0.   ?(

[Exaero_Fiero]

For that it must say \"You have gained some practice points for sword! You have also ranked up!\"\"

[Keyaz]

ah i remember that means uve done practical trainin in swords, the green bar shud have gone up a bit, ull lvl up when it gets to the end

[Mordaan]

Ok, I see.  I think I get it.   :rolleyes:

[ramlambmoo]

you need to put at least 4 points into swords before you have a chnace to level up, so it will take a while.

can you get progression points by not fighting? killing rats at the glorius damage of 1.00-2.5 (if i\'m lucky) isn\'t really cutting it.. as i would like to level mining and blacksmith some.. without spending hours in the sewers to do so
