Hello all,

Just asking for some more experienced players to take a look at my build at Lvl 28. I'm built for cap stat placement, I believe. Also, I'm currently hunting lich's in the Monastery with ease. Plan to do that till 30, any advice on where to hunt when I reach 30? If it helps, I'm a master of Voln and a sweep master in the guild. Again, looking for stat/skill input and hunting advice at lvl 30. Thanks in advance!

<- Eventually you are going to want to start pushing your Stalking and Hiding training further. I found that around 50-55 I needed to push it up to 2.5x in order to have a good result against critters, you may be able to remain at 2x depending on what you hunt. I'm still at 2.5x at level 77 with the goal of pushing it to 3x at or near cap.>

I would say that a member of voln should 3x in S&H from the start. Undead are the hardest critters to hide from and you'll want all the help you can get in the beginning. Once you get a bit above 200ish ranks in it you can dial it down to get other skills if you need to, but my 3x rogue was still being sniffed out occasionally by undead until well into his 30's. Even at close to 80, there are a few undead that will still sniff him out once every few hunts.

<Plan to do that till 30, any advice on where to hunt when I reach 30?>

River's Rest. Excellent boxes, squishy critters. Might have to put undead hunting on hold until level 33-34 unless you're insane enough to enjoy hunting spectral warfarers, but no one will ever convince me any other hunting areas can match what's available in RR from levels 30-60ish.

I'm no help with stats, and the only thing I have to add about skills is that you can safely drop ranks in Climbing/swimming until level 70ish and spend those points elsewhere. If you take my advise to go to RR, you can drop them down to 15 ranks each. Just about anywhere else, you prolly don't need more then 10 ranks in each for a good long while.

I read that and I was like... THOSE SOUND LIKE FUN! :-)

Appreciate the input, I had that much AS for The Broken Lands,but that area is to risky,so I'll drop that down and buff my hiding.

<River Rest it is, I could take a long break from undead as I got a pile of favor stored up.>

If you end up enjoying RR as much as I do, you might want to keep your eyes open for a good fire flaring weapon to buy by the time you're in your late 30's. Every hunting area above level 35 except the Krolvin Carrack has trolls and/or undead, so fire flares def come in handy.

I'd start with hisskra, but use a weapon you won't miss if you lose it with them (their hide can make melee weapons bounce out of your hand when attacking). After that witches are easy to kill as long as you watch out for the hounds/eagles with them, though krolvin on the carrack are good too if you want a bit more of a challenge.

Of course, you could just go where the Adventurer's Guild sends you too.... but regardless, make sure you let folk you see resting in the Commons know where you'll be hunting and peek at my guide before going into a new area ( https://gswiki.play.net/Starchitin%27s_Guide_to_Hunting_the_Rest ). Most of the hunting areas in RR have quarks that you'll want to be prepared for before entering them (the shifting layout of the jungle, sloped floors of the carrack, etc).

PS setting a gold ring to town is always a good idea no matter where you hunt in RR

PPS Do NOT pick boxes in the Sanctuary, the town commons is the place for locksmiths to work
