Swimming

Just a quick warning to people trying to increase their swimming skill, I was trying to swim in Qeynos with autorun (autoswim) on while watching tv. Somehow I zoned into Erud's crossing. So I thought, no big deal, I'll just keep swimming. Got up to skill 55 and had hit the zone line, then the screen goes black, and I appear in North Qeynos after apparently dieing. So I got a necro to help me find my corpse, swam out to it, and then started swimming and again the screen goes black and I die again. So lessson learned, don't swim in Erud's crossing near the zone line.

The water-paladins of Erud's Crossing are a menace.

Just an fyi, but swimming is capped to 5 + 5(your level) here. So you can't get a 200 skill as a level 5 or anything. Wasted an entire night in Kaladim learning that the hard way. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You can zone without a boat on this server? Good to know

No you couldn't. And you still can't.

Memory != facts.

Iksar must be a very notable exception, because they started with like 100 skill, and I distinctly remember skill going up a few times as I swam around Cabilis for the first time...
