Don't train in rook. Come instead to the main area then get the key in the harbor. Then train in the troll cave under the graveyard in Carlin. If they touch your monsters, kill them.
Recommended hunting location
A great place for Lv 8s in main to hunt are the troll caves in Ab'Dendriel. Find the cave entrance in the center of town and go down two floors, then proceed north. You will see a door. If the door is locked, go to the cave to the left and find an elf named Shrith. Say "Ashari" then "Key" to him. Buy the key from him for 50 gold. Go back to the door and use the key on it. Go north. Then, use the key on the other door if needed. Proceed up and explore. Note: Do not be afraid to go down the ladders in the center; the only thing in this cave is trolls, and lots of them.
Easy experience and GP
When playing an advanced Knight, in Ab'Dendriel, there is a small castle called Elven Bane. It is northwest of the Elven Fortress. In ElvenBane's basements, you will find good monsters to level on and some armor called "Chain Armor", which you can sell to the the NPC in Ab'Dendriel for 70 GP. When you level to 20, you should be able to fight most of the monsters in the entire castle. You should at least be level10 and have the following equipment for your character to survive:
Soldier Helmet
Scale Armor
2 Handed sword
Brass Legs
Leveling, and gaining gold and skills
Note: Premium suggested.
Mages: Rune making while leveling at northwest rot worm cave, Hell-Gate using summons, party hunt on GS and Draggy's. Note: For mages, train Magic to 50+ and level to 42+ and wait until you can go for Armageddon questing (after its update)
Paladins: Train skills up to 78/62+ (Eq: X-bow, 500 Bolts, 2 bp of uh, Crown Set, and Boots Of Haste). Most recommended area to level up: Poh (with at least 400 bolts). Party Hunts: Poh: Knights block, while Paladin and Mages attack, Demon-Knights block, two Mages stand by to heal, three Mages SD, two paladins SD and shoot Bolts.
To Gain skills...(PVP)
The best way to gain skills on tibia for a knight atleast. Get a training partner about 15+/- your current skills go half/half, no rats, and just be willing to sit for a long long time.
Equipment:
Weapon: Knife, Dagger, club, etc..
Wooden Shield
No helm unless they are 10+ skills from you or your taking so much damage it is not even funny.
No Armor, No Legs, No necklace.
P. S. Reason for no rats is it screws up your shielding.
Black knight key
Found near Amazon camp north of Venore northwestern entrance.
Bh key
At the bh zone go to the witch wyda go downstairs and look in the coffin now you can access the room with the cookies and rare books.
Desert key
Open a rock near the temple with fafnar's son in it.
Another desert key
Talk to fafnar and say: Hi- hi, Fafnar. He will ask you for 500 gold! Give him the gold then you get a key to a quest in the desert.
