Can i not use the training dummies in town?

[Ryu]

I'm new and one tip i heard was use the training dummies you can find in twon but when i did they told me to stop and when i did not they kicked my butt..

Not unless you have a good reputation with the group you are trying to use the training dummy with. For example many towns have a tower filled with Shinobi in them, you can't just walk in and use their equipment. However, if you pay their join fee of 10k cats then you can use their equipment as much as you want. Another way to do it is to sneak in at night when everyone is sleeping on a different floor, then you can use the equipment to your heart's content. Just be warned that when they wake up you better be gone or you'll be trespassing.

Final was it to make your own, BUT training equipment unless you get the mod doesn't really up your skill past 15 which isn't that great against any but the weakest foes.

Depends on the faction, the Holy Nation, The Police and the shinobis guild (Unless you pay them 10000 cats to join them) dont like people using their dummies, but for example, you can use the train dummies at the city in the swamps without any trouble (And they are the best in the game to train ^^)

If you go to faction buildings you can use their facilities. In Ad-Mad faction building you can use it for free. Just make sure it's the one that says public.

The swamp city is extremely difficult to reach for a new character. Even for a not so new. Lots of relatively high level enemies, and the blood spider who will eat you.

Training dummy is actually one of the worst ways to raise your skills and slowest, go out with minimal gear and weapon you want to use (better if ya have a recruit near by to bandage you) then get beat up by low level critters. Hungry bandits are good (hide your food though) dust bandits, rapotors(not the swamp ones I think they may try and eat you)

1. It makes a huge difference depending on where you started. For example if you are near starving and hungry bandits it makes a huge difference. If you are out in the UC area with rebels then it makes no difference because the skill gap is too much.

2. You also have to keep in mind each level of dummy only raises skill by 5, so a levle I dummy is 5 and a levle 3 dummy is 15. After that there is such a huge diminishing return they are not worht using.

3. The level III dummies are good for late game recruits. The issue is/was used to be assigning a training job caused starvation issues. However having a 15 attack skill made them far more useful.

To be perfectly honest, what several days of dummies can accomplish, a couple of fights will do more. Much more. As is, dummies are useless. At least the fighting ones. Especially player owned, since you can just build a cage in a pit/building and go fight club with much better effect.

getting beat up until you can beat back is still faster than hitting a dummy plus raises many other skills and the difficulty is why I mentioend to hold a guy back with bandages to heal and rescue.

Building a dummy, sticking some food on a new recruit, telling them to whack the dummy while you do other things is pretty simple. Those other things can include surfing forums, going outside to smoke, or focusing on some other group.

This is what you fail to grasp as a concept. You devote attention to that unit while fighting stuff to get your skill ups, I devote no attention. So when I start devoting attention to the unit like you I am 15 levels above you in attack skill. All at the cost of a couple loafs of bread out of my 100s of loaves.

I have never cheesed the game fighting captive units nor will I ever cheese the game fighting captive units.

I bought a place in the hub but can't build a training dummy.

Need to research it first.
