Stance Dancing is you friend.






On this page, I'll discuss how/what to hunt successfully without the aid of spells up to Legend. I hear many people complain about not being able to hunt without spells. I'm by far not a War Rogue. Not even close. And I've had no problems hunting without spells my entire life. Don't get me wrong, I'll take the mass spells if offered, but they are by far not required. To sit in the park waiting for a caster is just... Well boring.

Equipment. 4X equipment will do just fine. All my items are now 5X, and I don't forsee ever needing anything more. The cost is just to much in my mind. And Breakage is coming.

My training for reference.
2x weapon
1x CM
2x shield
1x armor. I started to double train some time in my early years. I also moved up each class as I could.
2x ambush
3x stalking & hiding. 2x should be fine for now, but Growing pains plans to rework stealth mechanics in the near future.

That's the basic training you'll need to survive.

[Darkstone, Dungeon]
The only furnishings in this cold, barren cell are a rusted, iron bunk
chained to one wall and a few wisps of rotted straw to cover the filthy,
