misc skills

[YurienStonebow]

i've been trying to find a place to work on my fairly useless skills (begging, etc..) and knew there was a palce to do it before i had left so many years ago. where can i train the more useless skills these days? my primary is a 74 bst

I once heard that Priest of Discord was used to skill begging.

what about with throwing? it isn't really effective to throw darts at something i can get xp off of now. bind wound is going to take forever

Throwing: Get in a group that you get exp but they don't need you - just lob knives at them. Having something that summons knives (like Mrylokar's if you're a rogue) helps.

Archery can work the same way.

Intimidation - get on a boat and practice it on the boat.

re throwing: I suggest Ssra zone. Many mobs there drop Shissar Fangs, which are a nice throwing item. You can both loot and throw in that zone. (I believe you will get some experience from kills there.) In addition, in the basement in that zone, after some camping for the mob Hilog Jarsath to drop Dusty Soriz Worker Pouch, you can summon those very Fangs from that Pouch.

so i went to beg my furry butt off at the pod and he didn't do anything. i did find out however that i can quickly raise my begging skill while in combat!?!? after a few short fights i managed to get from 16 to 103 with combat begging. go figure

yes, I made a hotkey for combat begging, and that's how I got my skill up the fastest. Before that, I used the high elf in butcherblock mountains at the entrance to Greater Faydark....not far from the wayfarer's camp. That was tediously slow.

with bind wound, you would need to get yourself pretty seriously injured. You might try getting one of those mage wands that are almost always being MGB'd in the guild lobby. Just make sure you use a lower level one if you don't have the HP to survive.

Another quick and more controlled way to quickly lower your hps is to drown yourself. As far as begging goes, any NPC that when killed could drop coin will give begging skillups whether hostile or not.I have heeard that non-hostile NPCs could attack if you beg too much, but that may be a myth. I do know that you can beg someone until they have no more money. I have done this many times to guards in Kelethin. You will still continue to get skillups though.

i remember back in the day begging would get you attacked by most city npc
