I don't know if its so much that +attack itself slows down skillups, but in general you don't want to kill things too fast when skilling off them, so lowering your potential damage can help. More skillups per mob give the perception of faster skillups and make the whole process easier to handle. Nothings fun if it seems like you're going nowhere.

Sorry not been looking at the forums.

The gear *isn't* affecting whether or not you get a skill up, it's affecting your *chance* to get a skill up. To skill the defensive skills like Parry and Guard, an attack has to beat your Evasion check and you stand a better chance of that happening by lowering your evasion. It's why Parry, an A ranked skill, is so hard to lvl as a Thf because our Eva is A+ ranked and we evade before we Parry. Lower evasion and Parry will get more chances to proc.

As for not using Att thing, that's to keep a mob alive longer. The best way to skill up is to fight something with low Eva and High def, so the mob lives longer. When a mob dies, it means people stop swinging which means they're slowing their skill ups. But hitting the same mob for 5-10 minutes at a time will give you more chances to get a skill up. It's why mages would use a trick in sea to skill staff by using a 1 dmg weapon on a mob that doesn't aggro unless you do dmg. They'd set auto attack and /follow and just whack away for 0 dmg for hours on end. SE then changed it so now you can only get a skill point for doing at least 1 point of dmg.

Hehehe - the play I saw was absolutely fantastic. Something about only being four feet away (while he was performing!) from one of the hottest properties on British Television was amazing...

pray you don't have people killing the two mobs to block the nm.

seasonal nm only pops in rainy season exact days i don't have off hand, its basically very much like Rose Garden, Sit, wait and pray someone doesn't kill it on you.

edit pop said to be:

5/4 ~ 7/3 for vana time

Really? I haven't tried camping it in a while but I thought the repop window was something like 3-4 months if the PH aren't killed.

His repop is 2-4weeks (Let me recheck the time)

But it can take months for him to pop because of people killing the ph.

I once bumped into Taisaijin (sp) whilst running through the Pass and unforuntately only ended up getting the Scroll of Refresh.

I noticed the title, "Bye Bye, Taisai" but didn't think anything of it, but then I noticed people in town who checked me sent me tells saying "cool title" etc.

I was a little baffled by this as I wondered what was so special about this title, as there are hundreds of odd/humourous/serious etc titles in the game - so why this one?

Now I see on this thread too, everyone is after the title. Can someone explain it to me please? Does Taisai translate to something funny? Is there something I'm missing please?^^ Thanks!

Its a rare title. The nm spawns every few days if nobody messes with the taisai. People come in and kill the placeholders all the time and that restarts the countdown for the mob to spawn. Its a rare title.
