Having recently reached my personal weapon master title goal I'm wondering what to hunt next and when to move there.

Currently i'm hunting fledgeling/young gryphons and defenses have slowed down considerably, which was expected. I still dont have enough weapon skills to move up to a harder creature so i'm thinking of staying in gryphons until around 300 ranks in weapons. At that point i'll be wanting to find a new hunting area to continue learning defenses and stealths efficiently.


Current skills and stats:

Guild: Ranger
Strength : 43
Stamina : 45
Reflex : 60
Agility : 75
Discipline : 55

Shield Usage: 466 87% -> (33/34)
Leather Armor: 454 09% -> (6/34)
Parry Ability: 461 28% -> (33/34)
Multi Opponent: 443 38% -> (0/34) yeah...
Evasion: 496 83% -> (1/34)
Targeted Magic: 334 30% -> (24/34)
Weapons: 3 bows, 2 crossbows, 4 edged, 3 blunts, 2 thrown + halberds, brawling and offhand are all between 251 and 265


Mature and older gryphons fly so i'm guessing they're a pain to train weapons with.
Celpeze... what would be a good starting point for weapon training in celepeze? Are there neutral or wilderness rooms to hunt them in?

What do you guys suggest i do next? Thanks :D

<<<Mature and older gryphons fly so i'm guessing they're a pain to train weapons with.>>>

Actually, they are not a pain to train weapons. You just do not have enough weapon skill. I doubt you could even hit them. I can lock easy with alot higher missle skills. IMO gryphons are some of the most underrated critters in the game. You could probably do very well in young gryphons. They will teach you evasion and such to about 550, and you might be able to hit those with your weapons.

<<<Is it possible to hit them with melee weapons while they're flying? How often do they fly? Do they attack while flying?

I'm currently hunting young gryphons and they're teaching weapons greatly. Can keep 9 weapons above 5/34 on a good day but usually just manage 8.
Not good enough for defenses anymore, tho. >>>

Not possible to hit them while flying, unless you use missle weapons. They fly alot again, but then land alot. Yes, they attack while flying, but then again, how will you learn defense if they dont attack? You need more weapons to hunt anything bigger then young, but your defense should fly to 550 if you give young a try.

It seems one of the biggest fixes for upper end hunting (at least in Theren) would be to put the elder/adult/mature gryphons on the ground. Leave their special attacks if you need to, but putting them on the ground would help a ton.
