I think I'll try to stick to more predictable methods of travel, at least for now. Or just gool old running. Heh. I did teleport to get out once, ended up being lost but safe at least.

I rolled a 10. Only, I didn't even need to step out of my guild :P

Biggest problem is my hometown seems to be a popular spot to level. When recalling, I need to make sure I have every defense possible up, and even then, if people of a certain fighting technique are there, I can be finished in under 10 seconds :x

Speaking of which, is there /any/ place which is safe and I can let my guard down a bit? (Learned the hard and fast way the Inn isnt :P) It's kind of troublesome (and tiresome) to be paranoid every second and to maintain every level of defense possible at all times...

Nah, meant temples, like the Temple of Galadon, for example. Can't seem to gate into or out of those. As it turns out, teleport and word both work though, as was mentioned.

One more question...This amount of dying has me thinking. What happens when you run out of training sessions and practices? Just have to take it unless you can convince an imm to run a vit quest? Or is there another way (that is, aside from ranking and converting from practices) to get trains or such and maintain con at a high level?

Of course, most people still can't seem to really hurt me, but there's one or two that are good at it and do ridiculous amounts of damage... and with the occasional death from ranking, my con falls from time to time...On the other hand maybe I can survive them now that I've learned absolutely nowhere is safe :P
