Circle Tests

[Liolel]

An idea I had while I was on the clan hunt today, was that a lot of circle test advice is given in this fourm but very rarely does anyone give advice actually get to see how the test goes for the tester.

So on this thread people should take a visionstone of their latest circle test they are having trouble with, getting the trainers messages in the visionstone and then put it online so others can look and give more custimized advice depending on how your training is going and how you are taking the test. Winds of Dawn members can use the upload page, and I believe that if you aren't a member that you could use the puddleby visionstone repository or some other website that you may have acess to.

I don't have a test to upload today as I just got back from a long hunt and I'm to tired to take it now but I'll try to upload mine as soon as possiable. Meanwhile if anyone else would like to throw theirs out I'd see what advice I can give.

My tests as of late have been different each time.
Rather than pin-pointing a specific area, it seems I have a different problem each time... :)

The biggest thing is to avoid getting trapped or attacked by 2 at once which seems to happen more often than not for me lately.
I do use the barriers and such to limit the # of monsters I face. I just haven't been lucky lately.


I think it's atkus I need most. That was the problem on the prev circle test. Well that and allowing my balthus/detha/histia to do it's job (i.e. stand and fight).

But I haven't confirmed that because I always end up screwing something up before I can really test myself on all three. Although it did look better last test.

If I can narrow down my tests so the same thing happens each time, I will definitely post a visionstone if I need any hints/tips.

Ok I said I'd take a visionstone and post it, but I went and took the test, and had the worst streak of luck and died in about 45 seconds. I did get the gw to yellow, but I did so poorly I think that a better attempt might help show where I'm going wrong.

But the one thing that did go right and tied into Konoko's problem was I was able to spend most of the test fighting just the greater wraith. What I did this time was once I entered the testing arena, before the creatures got spawned was I ran to the lower blockade and stood behind the center of it, so I was ready for the creatures that came. The green noid and gw both came, and I went towards the edge the gw was to lure it to my side and once it moved I ran back to the center. This may have been my downfall this test though because it gave me little maneurving room to go to without drawing the green noid onto me. I think that once I get to 250 aktus, I will get some darkus as I can hit the gw fine, but I can't seem to damage it enougth.
