Training-dummy

Description

Training-dummies are found in many locations throughout Middle Earth. There are two types -- active and passive.

The Passive dummies are really simply cosmetic and used by NPCs while the Active dummies can be used by any player character.

• If you have "Floaty Names" turned on, Active Training-dummies will display the name "Training-dummy" or "Training Dummy". Passive dummies do not.

Uses

Active Training-dummies can be used to practice your attack routines.

• They will allow you to "stack" your attacks or heals.
• Greyed, below level Training-Dummies will not level skills.
• Some skills will not register skill ups if the Training-dummy level is higher and the attack misses, even with skills like Heart Seeker which may otherwise always hit (but not over level). Consider this when using Deed Boost books etc.

Using Training-dummies to advance higher tier Class skills

Active Training-dummies can be used to advance skill usage counts toward daily limits for Class Deed completions.

• Strike the dummy once with an offensive skill, then you can use various passive or defensive skills against that same dummy.

• "Revival" type skills cannot be advanced -- for example, the Rune-keeper skill  Nothing Truly Ends or the Minstrel skills  Enlivening Grace or  Rally!.
