Ongoing war skills training scheme

Hopefully everyone has seen Abs' topic http://www.wildernessguardians.com/forum/i...?showtopic=2732 but you may be curious to know what it's about.

Some of you may remember Operation Purple Haze from last year which was WG's combat training scheme. Unfortunately OPH was scrapped due to inactivity but hopefully this will prove to be more successful and rewarding.

So what is it?

It is run similar to SotW however there are several small differences. It will be run over a one month period, every month a sign-up list will go up in it's designated forum and those who wish to participate will have several days to do so. There will be 2 skills run every month which will give you a bit of variety and each skill has its own tier for achievement.

What are the tiers?

There are 3 tiers for each skill which are lower, middle and higher. The lower tier is the easiest to achieve and if you do so you will recieve 1 attendance. The middle tier is slightly harder than the lower tier and if you achieve it you will recieve 2 attendance. The higher tier is a lot more difficult and therefore you will recieve 3 attendance if you achieve it. The XP amounts for each skill have been discussed and decided by tertiary and council and will be viewable on the sign-up thread.

What skills are there?

The skills that will be included are the ones which will help us in wars. The skills will be paired against another and will run through a four month cycle. The skill pairs are:
Month 1:
Attack and Agility
Month 2:
Strength and Prayer
Month 3:
Defence and Magic
Month 4:
Range and Hitpoints

FAQ

Q: I'm maxed, what am I supposed to do?
If you're maxed in both skills for that month then you're still welcome to participate, a suggestion would be to mix it up with some slayer training if you're P2P.

Q: I'm F2P, what do I do insted of agility?
Since agility is paired with attack I'd recommend to divert the extra time on it. If training in F2P is too hard we may consider some kind of handicap in the future.

Q: Won't this conflict with the time I'm planning to use for SotW training?
There's time periods when we're not doing SotW and it's run over 1 month so you should be able to find some time to do both.

Q: Do I have to do this?
No, it's optional but remember we've got CWPL fights coming up so why not give yourself some incentive to train?

Q: How am I supposed to train Hitpoints?
Choose a combat skill and train it along side Hitpoints.

I am going to postpone Skill of the week for this.
Since I want everyone to spend time training their combat atm.
If there is a great demand in 3 weeks time for this I may put slayer up for sotw.

This sounds really good
I'll give it a go tbh.

Q: Can I gain an extra 10 mil useless agility xp?



I want to max defence before I train att + str

sounds like a cunning plan,
maths train agility for me
should max by the end of this

Very interesting...sounds like a great idea!

You should add quests to the list though. No seriously, there are two quests that will help us alot for wars, another slice of ham, and as a first resort.

Another slice of ham gives you the goblin mace which you can use to boost your prayer for wars. As a first resort gives you inf run.

Doing both these quests is more important than training.

I'll participate Though for month two ima have to train prayer... damn

I definintely support this
OPH, though hated by many, really helped out alot of people
I gained like 30 levels from OPH last time

Great idea. It will somehow reduce the number of people who often get cut; if they do have the training motivation.

workin on str and HP atm since im close to lvl for str and im close to 99 HP

99 attack and f2p, and im training defence now, will it count towards month 1 or do i have to wait for month 3 ?

This should help me actually, I'm slowly going for 99 Attack, so the first month is my favorite.

This is a good idea.

Please make defence first

Sorry Zeth, no can do.
Attack + Agility are in the first month.
Defence and magic is the third month

ok <3

One thing though which I think should be added.
If someone it's maxed out in..let's say 99 str and prayer.
Then I think that in Month 2 they should be able to do attack and agility for one more month or do Month 3.
Since I think it's pretty bad to train str and prayer if you're 99 in both of them while you're like 90 attack and defence and want to get them both up.
Just a thing that I think should be added since I think there is atleast someone who has got to do that.

RETICKED for oph champ

Sounds good. I plan to be already maxed in strength before the strength month even comes around.

Mmk so when I get back from my summer vacation everyone's gonna be 120+

Lol, this will be cool. Wish I could join in.

>.< You know I hate training.

Sounds like a great idea for me. Can't wait to begin.

Im F2P atm
and with my exams, i aint playing much either

But when my exams are over and my vacation starts, ill get p2p again.
And get 120+asap

When do you think this will be put into action?

i would dodo range but im about to hit 99 range in about 3 days because im chinning.

I hope this kills the clan so finally I can know that it wasn't my fault but instead the system!

XD
