pay for training problem

[zentalin]

Zentalin here

joined the rogues guild, paid to train in stealth.

i made a macro in MUSHclient, i non-stop hid/unhid in front of 3 PCs

couldn't even make the halfway mark for the 5 ranks necessary to retain those ranks during training countdown

could countdown be increased, or, skill-up requirement be lessened?

current system doesnt work (for me anyway)

experienced this also with general combat. hafted weapons seemed to work ok.

lost some training due to this

Keep in mind that not making the skill goal still results in a net gain. Making the goal is just a nice bonus.

As to hiding: Try doing more than just hiding and unhiding. Those are simple tasks that require no real effort and cause nothing (no fatigue, hunger, etc) and gains are minimal. Try hiding and attacking some critters from hiding.

General combat should be skilling up just as quickly as your weapon skills (i.e. hafted). I'll look into it. Remember that skill gains are higher for more of a challenge. If you are effortlessly landing hits (i.e. on the training dummy) it may be time to move up to harder-to-hit critters in order to get significant skill gain.
