Full Version: How To Fight As A Fledgling Serpent?

Hello Achaea, I seek advice on how to play my serpent, my first class in the game. Normally I use sumac on my enemies until they or I am dead, but a kind soul gave me an iron tipped whip not too long ago. That's great, but I am not sure if I am using it to the best of my abilities. So far I have 34 lessons in venom and 105 in subterfuge, but I think I cannot learn anymore abilities in subterfuge until I reach the 21st level? (I am level 14 at the moment.) The reason I ask this is that I seem to miss quite a bit with the whip than using the tried and true sumac method. Should I just level up till I can learn garrote in subterfuge?

Yes.

Also join a Serpent house in game please, for a much more detailed response.

Edit: I thought you could get to garrote pre-20? Man I haven't been a newbie in forever. Either way, sumac > 'whip'

Can't get garrote before level 20. At least, 90% positive you can't. Especially since, to bash up starting lessons, you have to learn venom so your sumac doesn't suck.

You can't get garrote until you are a Journeyman, so not until level 20 yeah. Otha's advice is the best: join a House. Houseless newbie serpents are doomed. (and please, don't be doomed. We need more serpents).

We do not need more serpents. That is a lie. We need more non-rogue serpents.

I think we should just destroy all the serpent Houses and start over.

-Then- we can take over the game.

I think we should just destroy all the serpent Houses and start over clone Terra ten times or so.

Agreed.

Sorry kid; Terra is still WAY cooler then you.


And actually has a good point.

I don't understand why serps annoy so many people.

you have to learn venom so your sumac doesn't suck.

Rank in venom does not affect sumac damage.

Garrote cannot be learned as a fledgling, as it is somewhere in the skillrank of Skilled (and not at inept).

EDIT: Serpents can stay, so long as we get rid of wormholes, evade, snipe, phase and rattle.

Okay, first, just throwing this out there, but I suggested delete serpents. Thanks.

Second, Terra is inferior to me in all ways.

Third, I'm not a baby goat.

Fourth,
Otha
Who the heck are you even?

GG random trolls.
Haren
Well, my name is Haren, as the name implies. I like long walks on the beach, and getting caught in the rain. You don't know me because I've been dormant for a while.

Fifth, not a troll, I just know Terra very well and enjoy a joke or two with her every other Friday.

Sixth,

There ya go, Trici. I fixed it for you. happy.gif

And yes, Terra is my favorite serpent. Tenebrus may be my role-model for theft, but Terra is the type of serpent that everyone fears and loves at the same time.

I'm pretty sure Haren = a small town in the northeastern Netherlands located in the direct urban area of the City of Groningen.
Therefore, you are a town.
