NOT-A-BUG Discordance won't raise

Post by hurst »

After that last server crash it seems that the skill I was working on raising discordance, now that we are back on i lost half of what i had raised and the skill will not raise at all now. Can you take a peek at my character and see where the problem is?

Thanks much.

Well, altho there was just an about 10 minute revert, maybe you lost the skill because of that?

Are you training on monsters that are appropriate for your current skill level?

Silly idea, you've probably already checked, but make sure the skill is set to raise. Head into your skill list (alt-K) and check directly if the arrow's up/down/locked. If that fails, go into your options and make sure that the skill is set to show gains for every .1 gained rather than ever 1.0 or something. Those two scenarios have thrown me when I try to work a skill sometimes and it doesn't seem to raise, even though I swear I never messed with those settings.

Otherwise, make sure that you really are using the right monsters to gain. You can go to Stratics to find an excellent barding difficulty calculator. Just plug in a few monsters and try find something that'll give you a 30% success rate. Them's good gains. :D

Hopefully one of those suggestions will help, or if not, I hope you figure it out soon. Good luck.
