New to the shard and healing question

[Lajon]

Howdy! I've been playing for a couple days now and I'm very impressed with the quality and accuracy of Second Age. It feels just like early 2000 to me.

Kudos to the development team and community for placing accuracy ahead of pandering to get a larget player base.

I have a question about healing; I've been dinking around with a parry/swords warrior and raising healing while fighting mobs. Is the best way to raise healing just to heal damage? I remember that at some point you could use it to cure poison and that would gain faster until resurrection.

Thanks in advance.

You can cure poison at 60 healing and anatomy. I've raised to to mid 90's on one character and mid 80's on another and have noticed no difference in gains when concentrating on poisoning myself, which I tried.

I'm not sure if this is accurate or just a perception, but it seems to gain faster for me when I'm healing larger amounts of damage.

If you're into building it through playing, you're doing well... I built my healing a bit like this.

At about 40, this is what I did:
Marcro healing, perry, and macing while friend marcoed wrestling on me
After that, I would practice on poison (I would just chug the ones I had)
Once around low 70's I practiced on a ghost. It takes awhile and probably about 10k bandages. If anyone has had better results let me know.

on osi you healed to 60 past that point you had to gain by
cured 60- 80
ressed 80-100

when I gmed healing I was gianing off damage heals to 80. But started macroing res after that just to gm it.

Aye. Healing is difficulty based, so it's harder to heal larger amounts of damage. Meditation works the same way.
