so how do we level a thief now that we cant powerlevel?

[Bean]

Ummm I'm pretty sure most people wont dignify this with a reply, but I'll be kind in this instance...

Same way everyone else does, Kill monsters.

Sorry.. I just have to reply with:

Haha.

Actually i train in Denedya i train thieves/Rangers/Zerkers/Fighters there normally have around 20 crits on at a time training them. so if anyone does try and do something i aint tripping. But i'd have to say Hedge Maze is best i have seen sof ar plus the gold gathered from there is equal to the amount you would make in Zeum so all in all thats my training place.

[kaijick]

thank you alucard, nice to see that someone had the intelligence to see the point of the question

[Bean]

Nice to see you can't cover your incredibly retarded questions very well.

Nice talking at you

I miss my powertraining i want it back (this may seem stupid but not to people who train a lot of thieves like myself) killing monsters take way to long. its annoying because thieves had powertraining which i thought was summit really kool. i mean whats the point in having the ability to steal gold when all we can now do with it is steal off players (i do that a lot too lol) its stupid

[Ryuku]

I think powertraing should be back on. It just a skill that thieves use. And it takes awhile to get enough gold to do it good anyway (100k)
ive never had that much money ever. I have a lvl 16 thief and i can lvl him that easy.

Are you people only out to better yourselves.. Or do you actually stop to think of the community ever?

I was hoping that this would go away on its own, but its not.

First of all...:

I train thieves... and i think its stupid. The only good reason for bringing it back is that when i go out to kill someone, theres a chance i can make a couple hundred thousand off of someone. Not that i do it often, but its happend when people were stupid enough to attack me while they were power training. But... then people would complain.

Second of all:

My guess would be this: They think, just not hard enough. If they couldnt think, they wouldnt be typing. Unless they have monkeys in their employment...

[Vodka]

You know what, I've neverrr powertrained a day in my life of having a thief and I do quite well. It just takes a bit more time, if I have the patience to do it.. the rest of you will.

[Grimgnaw3]

Powertraining is NOT coming back. No point in complaining about how it's gone.

[iggy]

yeah...powertrain should be back on...I missed those day when you can just click a thief for a nice 50k-100k...easy money. A bit sad you can't find 'em around nowadays.

[Amy]

Well, if you wish to know how and where I level thieves page me in game or leave a memo on Amy. I have 5 arch thieves and never once have i power trained even when it was allowed in game. If you are stuck at level 16, give me a holler and will take you training.

[Dc]

wow.....could you be any lazier...powertraining was great...but common......

[Gaddy]

Powertraining was always nice, but I would be against it being allowed back into Nightmist.

I say this having leveled, at the very least, 15 thieves from 10/13 to level 21. I always went next to bank in scarlet daggers guild and did 2-4 at a time. I never really got on the ball of pting at higher levels.

I'd suggest swamps as a way to get your thieves up to level 26.


As for the Hedge Maze, welcome to the worst exp in nearly all of Nightmist. Last I checked it was 50xpd, even less than Rose Garden...but ya know, whatever floats your boat.

I personally have never been a train in one place type of person, my crits get around like Issy during Happy Hour.

[Terrier]

when money bug first was on i level'd my thief (only crit i had) from 22-26 in about 30 minutes with 10k
then i completely ignored thieves and trained something else
guess what i just started training some thieves..and unlike other i have to work hard to train them now ..just because i didn't powertrained any when it was on
thieves arched in 3 days by power train..and now we can't do it..it's sucky if you ask me

[Ryuku]

Yeah, all thieves that were lvled like that should be deleted, I'm sure it's possible to find out. (Most of TRs' thieves get deleted)

[Terrier]

powertrain has been on for a looong time
i can say like 90% of the archthieves in game where made by that
guess lucky ppl that did that ..and now i will spend a looong time to arch my thieves ..if i ever get to arch them
i think it's unfair..

[Julius]

I power leveled about 3-4 thieves in SDG before the xp cap was put in, the fact is, if it was in the game, and was not considered a 'bug', thats how it was programmed, if you could take advantage of it, then all the power, and xp, to you. It was very risky, getting all your money shanked because you slip up, someone stumbles upon you and they hit ya, bang, you just lost a ton of gold. Though I have to see the game is better off without it. Thieves don't need that easy way of training. there are plenty of places to go, you just need to find what suits your style of training.

[Ryuku]

When it comes to arches, thieves are the weakest, and will lose 1v1 duels if he doesn't hit first or is rounded.

[Wisdom]

People want the powertraining to come back so they can arch theives alot quicker. In about a week someone could easly arched about 10+ theives and that isn't cool at all.


I know alot of people that have alot of thieves 20+ theives and a couple of druids. All they do is log on about 10 theives in diff parts of nm to pk.

That is all these pkers do is train 10+ theives to arch and running pking people.

Tr as most of these people that do this and bring back powertraining will make this much worst.

I'm starting to train about 30 thieves most are dwarf all are 4 stats, I'm training them in swamps about 8 at a time to lvl 15. Once all 30 are lvl 15 I'll train 8 more to lvl 20 then once all 30 theives are lvl 20, I'll train 5 at a time to lvl 26. After that I'll train 15 theives at a time to master.

I already got two sets of thieves to lvl 20, now work on the last set.

[Ryuku]

Wisdom on forum = Bash ingame? o.o

[Tony]

My 2 cents:


If a bug has been in the game for more than a year, it becomes a feature!

[Amy]

(wisdom on forum is not bash in game fyi)

Swamps are pretty much the best place for thieves xp wise until maxxed at level 25 in my opinion.. toss on a torch and have at it.

[Ryuku]

Yeah, all thieves that were lvled like that should be deleted, I'm sure it's possible to find out. (Most of TRs' thieves get deleted)

I stand by this, since I didn't train any of my thieves this way.

And what Wisdom is doing sounds like Bash, lvling all those thieves and killing the innocent newbs, strangly everything you stand against Amy.

Who ever said this was a bug?

And why bring up the old topic just to post what you're doing? Seems a tad ego based to me.
