Gaining Provoke
Posted: Mon Nov 21, 2011 6:21 am
I know this is a pig of a skill to gain, but need some advise on it....
I am at 100 provoke and 100 music (was 120 music but dropped it to 90 as advised on the net for gains)
I have 90 "spare points" and the skill they are in is turned down.
Provoke is turned up.
(Stupidly i dont have any points left on the skill gain deed, this is one of my first chars i made, and i went to town and used the whole deed up without thinking a few points might come in handy later on)
I started by running around making Dragons and Drakes dance, did this for approx 4 hours and never gained a thing.....Not even a sniff of a skill gain...
So, then i stripped my suit back and took off all the barding enhancements.
Went back and spent a whole eveing making the dragons dance, not a single 0.1, nothing.......
Back to the net and found the "stick 2 monsters on seperate boats and provoke safely"
I put 2 Hiryu's on seperate boats and provoked those 2 over and over, again not a thing nothing....
I have swapped between exceptional instruments, shop bought ones, and opposite slayer ones....still nothing, not a bean.....
This is my third day of trying to gain in provoke past 100, am i missing something?
I would have thought Dragons would let me gain past 100, and Hiryu's too, although i did notice the barding difficulty of the Hiryu is 70 on this server which seems lower than the 80 that other websites mention.
I remember the early days of UO when we would all crowd around the sheep pens at yew and provoke the sheep to GM the skill........
Obviously we have moved on since those days, but what are the rules for gaining provoke?
Is it difficulty based, amount of targets, fail or success based.......
Cheers all.........
