Title: Where to train a thief
Post by Selene on 03/10/03 at 01:26:29

I do my thief training in Sarka, not alot of people there so less chance of your gold getting stolen by someone else.

Strangely enough I train by actually assassinating. Its not really slow and you dont have the risk that gold training involves. Besides you can make good exp and gold in the desert.

LOL, then I wouldn't have to leave ;D Actually, since I'm there the majority of the time.. loads of people have been coming there recently.. so, I kind of just sit and talk with people until they clear out of the way. I just wish lvling could be a bit faster, it'd help out a great deal.

at that level the desert really is a keen place to train, it's argueably just as good as stealing gold.

5 exp per 1 piece of gold that you steal

Swamps are the best place for power training, if you have the right team and know your way around. (Specially around the Hydra ;))

that's correct but there is a limit of 10k exp even if you steal more then 2000 gold. i suggest you powertrain with around 500k

Wonderful why don't you tell these lovely people how many times you lost gold..lol

Don't train with 500k, 100k should be fine....

hmm i lost about 1 mil in a total of about 75 times of powertraining :D

Ok, not sure if I understand this correctly.
Is it true that you gain the same amount of exp. from stealing 2000 gold than from stealing 20000 gold..?

you are totally correct :D but if you take more money you can steal a lil more often before you reacht the 2000 gold limit :D

Title: Re: Where to train a thief
Post by dognapot on 03/19/03 at 19:09:34

you only steal a little less than a 1/3 of the total amount of gold a monster is carrying. stealing from a purse of 200k you'll get 90k exp out of it (9 exp capped steals) while if you double the gold to 400k you only get 110k exp (20k more) before you start stealing under 2k gold per stamina. so if your going to steal gold it would be a good idea to not use alot of gold and just find a way to keep a monster 'stocked'.

Post by wonderful_nightmare on 03/19/03 at 20:01:17

the amount you steal depends on lvl :D

1. find the easiest way to give a monster your gold
2. do it
3. steal until you feel like repeating step 2 again
4. repeat step 2 until you gain a level

a few things to be wary of, sometimes if you let a crit die to a monster the gold the crit was carrying disapears. also, since a lot of theives have done this to train for themselves they tend to notice the patterns that give away someone else doing it, so be cautious about doing the same thing over and over again; you might get profiled by an observer.
