    Free Skill Ups.

    So, since im done using them, I might as well let the people know who already didnt. But you can get free skill ups on the Zvahl Fortalices in Castle Z (S). Not like skilling up is hard anymore, but if you wanted to take a weapon from 150 to cap in a few hours while afk, it's kind of nice.

    There are 4 forts that ive found in baileys (there are some in keep to, but never looked for them), and they have about 5k hp. Using an event weapon (halloween spear) I skilled on one hitting for 1~2 dmg for about 3 hours. It took me about 4 forts to get 100 skill levels. If youre sub 180 skill, youll need a good amount of acc.

    Supposedly theyre supposed to be gaurded, but theyre not, so w/e, enjoy them while they still work.

    Either my server has done an OP to weaken these somehow or they have some autoregen - only have about 5k HP hitting them with a real weapon.

    They should allow you to cap, yeah.
    And sorry, I meant 5k HP; 50 damage will take off 1%

    if your skilling up, you should avoid using unnecessary force. Otherwise you'll have a lower yield

    What are these actually for? I assume they are, or will be, related to campaign in the region?

    I don't know the evasion of them, but I was refering to attack and tier of spell. Acc is something you can never have too much (except for magic attack because resists are probably better?).

    Ice elemental spawn at the north one near entrance I just found out the hard way >.>

    If you hit for 1dmg itll last about 3hrs. If you hit for 30 itll last about 12mins, so yeah, low damage is key.

    The OP mentions that before 180 skill you need a lot of ACC. I was just wondering since I would like to afk while my character hits, but I don't want to spend 32874834734g on ACC gear.

    edit: I think it was the demon in the hallway near it that attacked me

    edit: found a safe place. at least thus far...

    75. And I found a place where I can afk at. The 1st one I tried was the closest one, and I guess I just wasnt staying far enough out of sight.

    Yeah theres no reason you should die.
    I died once because I forgot about the elementals that spawn close by, and when I was skilling on the one near the yags, one of them saw me some how from above, so I just moved closer to the stairway.

    Btw I only say 150+, but I assume you could go from 0 skill to cap too. When I was skilling h2h on war at lvl 180 I was missing like crazy, but acc rings, belt, neck, and haub worked fine.

    ice elementals still can magic aggro at least the one at F-9 on map 1 can even at max 4.1 range(I got one aggro in 30 minutes of time) if you are meleeing and casting magic, probably not if you are jstanding further and only casting magic.
