To increase your skill levels, warriors and rangers (as well as the mage in some cases, as defending may deem very useful on solo hunts) must spend quite an amount of time training their skills. Unfortunately, the training is time-consuming and requires consuming less or more time depending on the selected server. Below are some valuable observations:
- Non-PvP / PvP server - you must receive at least one blood hit on a creature within every 30 seconds or less, but remember that receiving personal injury is not required.
- PvP enforced server - you are obliged to change the target of your attack every 30 seconds, and also as to appear un-idle every 15 minutes, otherwise your character will be logged out. (This can be avoided by either clicking on the game client somewhere, moving your character, or speaking in a chat channel)
- If you train with a monster, make the correct choice; if it is possible to select such an opponent who does not hit your life points any, that would be most wise, for you do not want to die if you have to step out for a moment or two.
- Using any illegal software or hardware to perform idle operations is strictly illegal and will be punished.
- You must choose a safe place away from dangerous monsters. (Or if you are on a PvP/PvPe server, somewhere where players will not easily find you)
- Make sure to chose the appropriate training weapon (if the attack is too high, you may kill your creature or training partner, if it is too low, you will not hit it enough to get speedy skills; if you stray from your computer for awhile, make sure that the injury inflicted by you is neither too large, nor too small. You want a consistent blood hit on a creature every 25 seconds or so.
- Be sure to remember, however, there is also the possibility of obtaining 20, 40, or 60 hours of training by performing tasks for the NPC Osvald.
