Hi Mike.
Isn't asking for lessons a little like begging? I'd certainly appreciate
saving the 50 riln a pop everytime I want to train something, but I don't
want to sound like more of a winy n00b than I have to, looking for constant
handouts for stuff.
All the best,
Dark.
There is always more to know, more to see, more to learn. The world is vast
and wondrous strange and there are more things benieth the stars than even
the archmaesters of the citadel can dream.

Hope you stick with it, and yes it does take work. Just remember that if
you ever wanna get things going faster, ask for lessons or pay for them.
Mike.

Hi mike.
I'm aware skills need practice, and I have seen some degree of
improvement even if my highest skill is 15 or so at the moment, however
my annoyence with mining is more how fidly it is, having to constantly
juggle a lot of commands, it almost reminds me of something like Fallthru
with it's really clunky dos parser, but Clokmud is miles more
sophisticated and a good 20 years newer.
I inadvertantly started on staves as a weapon because I took training at
the first opportunity and they seemed to be the right thing for a rugged,
wander through the wilderness type, although it's only now that my skill
is hovering around the 10 mark that they're doing much good.
In general I don't mind working at games, especially games with games
with lots of activities and stuff to explore meaning that I can generally
switch to something else if I get board, (one reason I tried mining in
the first place), the problem usually seems to be that some skills are
easy to train, eg, to train fishing just buy a rod and find some water,
or to train wood working just get a knife and some branches and whittle
away (albeit I do wish my whittlings could be of some! vennifit), however
some skills just seem very slow to raise by how complex the actions
involved with them are such as fire making, and top of the list mining.
Still, I'll try persisting and see where I go.
Beware the grue!

Remember that there are player minds that you can try get into. Just
talk with the players before you go in there, and make sure that you
clean up after yourself. They will be happy if you don't. A lot of the
skills that you will try will not be any good into you are at least 100.
But just keep working at it, it's very rewarding once you start getting
into it. I have been working on nothing but archery, marksmanship, and
still on my druid character for about the past two days. It's extremely
hard, as those skills don't go up very fast, especially stills. Remember
that you can always ask for others to join you for a bit of fighting, or
any skill. Some people like to spar. So you could always ask Greg if
there is anyone who would like to spar with you. Or, when you join a
guild (if you join a guild you could get people to help you with tasks
that you're having trouble with. And just remember that if you ever need
extra help, ask for lessons. It's better than paying for them from the
NPC trainers. At least I think it is.

Lol Mike.
The moral hear seems to be not reply to messages when tired. amusingly
enough I make the same joke to people, sinse I once found series 1-5 of
the awsome sf comedy classic Red dwarf on video in a real world pawn
shop, so I quite legitimately tell people I have a fine collection of
porn videos which I enjoy watching very much :D.
Doubly amusing sinse something less like the other meaning of porn than
slobby lister, malfunctioning Cryton and that utter smeghead Rimmer
it's probably harder to imagine :D.
As to the bbs I did sort things out, turns out I was copying a bit of
the dead prompt across by mistake.
As to selling god knows, it seems pretty random.
I've just given mining a try but yee gods it's a pain, not the mining
part, but to keep having to juggle the light sauce, hand cart and
pickaxe not to mention constant attacks by those annoying shades.
I know there is a topic on the bbs about having either cart mounted
light sources or helmet lamps, and I really approve, after all miners
were using the Jordy lamp for years (it's one origin of the term jordy
to describe anyone from around the nw), not to mention that Humpphry
davy invented the davies lamp (a lamp based on gas with no flame so no
risk of explosions), in the late 1870's, so there are plenty of
pressidants within the technological level of the setting.
Either way I'll have another look at this and see.
I also want to try a bow and some hunting as well.
All the best,
Dark.
