Guides:Fighting Skill Tips

There's two ways to train fighting, the safe way and the dangerous way:

I recommend using the safe way until around 10 fighting, then go off hunting.

Safe way

Create a practice doll and equip a shaft or other weapon.

If you use a weapon then you should use one that is ql 1 or you will quickly destroy the doll.

Attack the doll, repairing it whenever its damage gets to 20.

Dangerous (but a heck of a lot more fun) way

Go hunting. That's it. Just go hunting. You first want to try hunting down simple farm animals such as pigs, pheasants, roosters, bulls, cows, etc. Even wild cats work at the start.

At around 10 fighting you want to get some leg protection and hunt down wolves. The wolves aim for the legs a lot, so leg protection will save you health in the end.

Pheasants in particular can make an excellent training enemy as they will not follow you when you back away from the fight, giving you time to heal and regain stamina if necessary, especially if fighting with very low QL weapons for the skill gain.

Try to bring cotton, rags or some other form of cloth to heal yourself with.
