Shall stay or shall I go 05/29/2013 11:59 AM CDT
Currently hunting Cinder beasts. Debil has been capped for a bit now, and TM is closing in on capping. Which is 625 they stopped teaching. Currently sitting around 410 in defensives, and around 460 in weapon. Is there something I can hunt past cinder beasts that will allow me to train debil and keep training tm? Or should I stay for a bit? And for how long? Any advice is welcome. Thanks.

Defenses are a little low but you might want to try Zombie stompers- the lowest level of zombies in Boar Clan. I am all in favor of moving up when you can but you look like you have about a 200 rank difference between defenses and TM. You may just have to suck up moving defenses up for awhile.

That is the only reason why I still in cinder beasts. Defensives are still low. Debil and TM just move fast compared to defensives. Guess even moving to zombie stompers, I may hit the ceiling there too fairly fast. Guess i just gotta let it all slowly catch up.

I would definitely spend a little extra time getting your defenses up. 50 ranks'll fly by in no time, and put you in a much better position for moving up the ladder.

Being that this is quite relevant to me (practically the same ranks, still in cinders)...

I'm down there learning two weapons (470 small edge, 400 brawling) regularly, with a few slightly lower ones scattered in (with them cursed I can hit them with a few other weapons [bows, LT, HT] in the 250-300 range, even a few melee weapons right around 200 [melee mastery in the 430s]).

My defenses are a little higher (460 evasion, 440s shield, 420 parry), but still learning pretty well.

I stay in cinders for reasons other than making my numbers go up faster: vicinity to Haven, skinning, boxes, easy access to all the lore societies.

If you're purely asking for skill reasons -- I make the trip to Hib now and again. Both the low-range and mid-range zombies are relatively safe, though I have to be a tad more careful about keeping buffs up than in cinders.

Keeping buffs up isn't an issue at all. I always run MAPP, MPP, PFE, SOL, BEN, and those are always in the orb. I might be forgetting some, but those are the major things. I wait til things get closer to 450s. Things seem to move fairly slow defensively. But if I hit 625 in TM, I think I am moving, hate to see that skill slow down.
