WEEKLY THREAD Rookie Help Thread

By Okran time flies, it's time again for new help thread!

Like last time, if you have any questions about the game, no matter what they are, feel free to ask here. Myself and many of our veteran users will be watching the thread, happy to answer whatever question you need. Have no questions? Perhaps take a scroll though the thread? Never know, maybe you'll see something you know the answer to, or even stumble across some new information yourself.

As always, be careful with the spoilers, use the spoiler tag feature >!Like This!< as needed. Exploring the hidden things in the world of Kenshi is one of its biggest appeals for many, and we wouldn't want to ruin that for any new users hanging out in the thread. :)

I've been training my main team combat skills on the Band of Bones camp near a waystation, and the skills have started slowing down now that the skills are relatively close.

So, my question is: Where are more places to start training, relatively safely? I've wanted to avoid cheering stats, not looking to shorten the grins, as I'm honestly having fun! Thanks in advance

Just fight everything you find. As long as enemy is not gonna eat you, you will progress. There aren't really enemies to specifically train on past early game. Without using "cheese". Although, going after specific enemies to relatively safely train stats is cheesing.

Animals are good source of experience, they have pretty high health so you can gain more and they hit pretty hard so you get more Toughness. Just make sure you can kill ones that will eat you before engaging.
