is there a easy way to lvl points up

[metalshift]

im lvl17 (almost 18) and i didnt train up my melee points past lvl2 cause i was only going to be using guns but i realized last night that i need more melee points to wear some of my armor. is there a way to lvl this up that wont take forever. i got a pair of dual swords but it takes me FOREVER to take down a mob with just 1 line/dot. :furious: :ew:

you need mlee point to use ranged ramore? or are you trying to use fighter armore?

You gain weapon skill with each hit, not per kill, so keep fighting stronger monsters with your lvl 2 melee weapon skill. I am a ranged fighter, but I let my ranged weapon skill lapse behind my melee skill and am now raising it back up. I've found out that you gain more weapon skill per hit if the mob you are fighting is on a higher lvl than your weapon skill. Right now, I have lvl 7 ranged and lvl 9 melee. When hunting in the accretia newbie town, I fight those bug looking things and giant armoured scorpions. On normal hits against the little bugs, I get .07% per hit, but on the big scorpions which are a higher lvl I get .14%, double from the weaker bugs. On average I get over 2% per kill on the armoured scorpion looking things.

Speaking of percentages, I once got over 35% (yes 35% no decimals) off one kill. I was fooling around with those people shooting those sword guys near the mines and I got the last hit. Instant lvl. I was wondering how all those accretian guys are close to lvl 30 and now I figured out why. Launcher spam on high lvl mobs. I fooled around with it only enough to get one lvl, but every single hit was giving me over 1% and as I mentioned when I got the last hit on one of them, I got 35%. Leveling up there is ridiculously easy, but the downside is that your skills lapse behind so I only fooled around with it for one lvl.

My mate cmdjing,

I know what you mean with fast lvling, I myself was mining at a certain area outside the portal with a group of high lvl belatto. There was I think 8 of them. They were using laser guns, red laser arrowed crossbows and high lvl magic. I mine they kill surrounding enemies... meaning if few of the other 2 races came..they will get wacked :D.

Speaking of wacking, cmdjing what lvl were you? I'm really interested in this story cause I might look for a group and try wacking them too. But I'm still kind of afraid cause they do like 1k - 4k damage? I only have like 900 hp -_-

And the part of 35% ... That's alot. Wen I lvl I get that amount of exp wen killing for like a hour.

so it's important to raise melee skills if you're going with guns?

Nope, it's an individual taste. Cause Ranger's equipment consist of medium def while having elemental protection properties.
So let's say a warrior equip of the same lvl would give 40% more protection, while a ranger equip would have *little* more magic resistance.

I use warrior equip while being a specialist. And I'm using a long ranged weapon, so yeah it hurts. I need to train both skills and that's a ***** :angel?:

i need to lvl my melee skills only because my lvl13 helm/goggles/whatever require 4 points in the melee points. and the next lvl set requires 5 points. im at 3 points right now. hitting mobs with only 1 square im rarely hitting them since my melee skills are so low that its almost not worth it and to just stay with my lvl10 helm forever. any suggestions?

[Ryuhou]

Your points advances higher wen you'r fighting higher lvl mobs. As in fighting a lvl 20 mob wen you'r 30 is faster then wen you fight a lvl 15 mob wen you'r 10.
:wink:

I was playing with that group last night...O_O...holy jeebus, that's some crazy XP. I'm going to be staying there for a bit. If you can get into a full team...omg, that's fast XP.
