Hey I'm a level 78 f/p mage and I was wondering if sharks are viable training monsters. Apparently I'm supposed to go to Skeles at 80/81 and I feel as if I'll miss out on shark misting. Any thoughts? Oh btw if anyone in windia has level 80 mage stuff then pm because I wanna buy XD

Sharks are fairly obsolete. You could try, although you should be careful as they can dispel your MG. But if you can get past that, then maybe you'll get extremely lucky and find SE 20 :D

It's like making a ball of hay the size of the sun , throwing in a tiny piece of lint, reaching in, and finding that piece of lint on the first try. Seriously though, everything jcer said is spot on. Dispel makes the place a terrible area to train in now that we have skelegons.

I trained at sharks from 76-83 then moved to skelegons when I had a viable hit accuracy on them. But for sharks, you have to be skilled enough to avoid dispel. I was, so I had less trouble with sharks than I did skeles as a whole.

I tried sharks for two levels (found a chaos scroll. after the price in kradia dropped to 40-50 mil.......) but yea. i've been at skeles from 87-93, and it's good exp. just burns a hell lot of pots. a dragon knight would be nice :D

I never went to sharks. Idk why, but I leveled 98-100 at HHG. O_o (go 99.98 and level on a snail) Leave my randomness alone. =P

i power leveled from level 87-100 on sharks. you need lots of practice to know how to train there without dieing. you need to go in a circle and mist in certain areas because you cannot just swim around casting poison mist whenever you feel like doing so. everytime you hit a shark and it was a newly spawned one or it missed, learn how to either use mg before moving at all. if you are kill big mobs of sharks after misting has done maximum effect, try kill the cold sharks first in the mob, then kill the blue sharks to avoid a situation where you get dispelled, the touched by a cold shark. I reccomend using a bathrobe and a red whip for training if you do not have equips that will help you bring up your hp to 2.5k as i never had 2.5k for sharking. You will die multiply times until you get used to it. good luck.

i never really did sharks , and i dont recommend it , since they dispel and remove mg , which is critical for mages. just stay at squids till like 80-90 then start skeles , kinda risky considering their high damage but still less risky than being dispelled.

Never went to sharks, since I really don't like dispell, plus I wasn't very adept at swimming. xD I was there the other day while on my way to look for a pianus, and it isn't all bad, except the shark dispelled me and killed me when my friend a 110 sader was supposed to be killing it. lawl

sharks are good fun, yet lethal before you get the trick down, i've been rather lucky and hit SE20 and the story book (still good meso) several times a few pointers. -seal makes training relatively easy, SEAL FIRST! (the whole trick to sharking for dummies like me x) why? you can hit 'm and they'll just move towards you.. but will not dispell or spit damage at you. -if the shark you hit doesn't die... continue your circuit and finish that ledge on your next round -when you cc you lose agro, dualchannel -always recast magic guard then meditation before you cc (dispell can whipe all buffs but it doesn't always, it targets the one you casted last first) from 85-95 they are awesome to good exp, good to decent from 95-100 imo. just don't train there unless you are 100% focused or you will die.
