Hey guys, I'm currently a lvl 124 DrK and I was wondering where to train before I raise zerk enough so I can train with it (lvl 20?) I have currently been training at gallos gaining around 11% and hour solo and maybe up to 15% with a decent party. My training times are quite spasmodic and I live in Australia so finding a priest can also be difficult but would say skeles be much faster without destroying my funds if i was soloing? Any advice would be great!

I spent 120-130 at skeles with a bishop but i wasn't zerking and I find that even at 135 with level 27 zerk, my hp is still too low to 100% zerk as im unwashed. If you really want to half zerk somewhere, get ginsengs and then just pot when your hp's low and then take a bump or two to get back into zerk. It's not amazing but its better than no zerk and it's better than potting after everytime you get hit... If you really wanna have some zerk fun, get in some scar runs or something as the first 2 bodies are really easy to zerk and then you just get spam heal on the 3rd If you really want, you can pick up some 2.2k or 2.6k pots from CBD and try out himes or gallos but it will be hard to stay in zerk 100% of the time with such a low level. Maps in ToT are good to start zerking in. Their touch and magic damage tends to be the same and even the lower maps such as mem3 dish out good exp

I spent 120-122 at typhons, then 122-127 at skeles. 128-141 was at various places at ToT, mostly at Oblivion 3 (the kill quests got me 128-130, lol) I find it's really easy to zerk with gensings, rather than cheese. Less expensive too. At lower levels of zerk, I mostly went memory 5 regrets 5 with gensings. It was good exp, though I died cuz I wasnt used to getting hit all the time. When I got to level 130, I went to oblivion 3. Harder to zerk there. I suggest you stay at regrets on low-oblivion until you pass a zerk 30 book. Oh, and oblivion 1 mobs are like skeles, cept with 30k extra hp and 1.5k more exp.

Aye, practice at aqua. It's good to help you learn to serk, then you can give the memory maps in ToT a try.

I am up to level 7 berserk. Would it be faster to train at say gobies with zerk or continue at gallos?

its not about whats faster. its about learning berserk better than others at an earlier stage with a crap hp limit. learn how to berserk with crap hp and you'll do amazing later on with a real hp amount.

Honestly at your lvl man I would recomend Himes till 130 they are still amazing exp and practicly zerk pot burn do to training with a priest. I also recomend like a lvl 80 preist that way they will still want to party with a DrK and also you always get 80% exp per kill because they can't hit hard enough. I wouldn't zerk at skeles till I had an 8k zerk limit but I was washed so it was much quicker.

I'm unwashed, have a 7.1kish threshold and can 2hko Skeles without losing Berserk form. I use Soda Pops (available at leafre), heals 2k HP. I remember I still Himed till level 125ish, and from there I went to the Newties/Skeles map. 120-130 are the hell levels for a Dark Knight, just wait till you get Zerk 30 (or 20 at least), it will help a lot.

[/quote] No i'm doing nothing wrong, if the skeles buff up and you rush them, you come out of zerk really easily because they attack so fast and why would you buy pots that you're gonna have to heal after every hit. It's just a big pot burn then. With ginsengs, i could pot and then take a bump back into zerk and then take 2 hits from there. You're gonna be using 2 pots everytime you get hit by magic... I can pretty much zerk 100% with ginsengs now anyway at skele, you just need to know when to pot and when to take a touch or magic.
