Why I Want To Go - Training Day III [Student Edition]

Organized by: Kelly Perfetto 

Written by various noted authors 


Kai/LukeJohn

Training Day has always been a showcase on the myriad of things people in the Realms know. As far as I can remember there’s topics of interest for everyone. Maybe you’re into crafting, in which case there’s classes on greaves, garb, and weaving. If you want to learn about magic, there’s classes on rituals and magic marshaling. Combat focused players have classes on specific styles, tactics, combat pedagogy, and fighting multiple people. Or maybe none of those interest you; even then there’s sure to be a class or two to catch your eye. Moral of the story is if you got a curious mind and a free Saturday, then I cannot recommend Training Day enough.  Nobody is ever done learning, and this is a great time to further whatever path of improvement you’ve set for yourself!

As a student, one may wonder why I would wish to take one of my days off from school to go to more school. But this school is cool and awesome - The physics class is 'hitting people with sticks', the language class is 'runes that blow things up', and the math class is 'gambling'. Would recommend.

Why do I want to go to Training Day? It would be easier to list the reasons I don’t want to go, because there aren’t any of those. Training day is a great event to pick up new skills for the Realms, both in and out of character, or to brush off old skills after the winter. There are classes on crafting skills ranging from advanced armor making to introductory sewing, combat classes on both theory and practice, and much more.

Training day also tends to be a highly attended event, so if you’ve been wanting to have IC conversations with people, learn spells, or ask questions of anyone you don’t often see, there’s a decent chance they’ll be there! Despite the packed schedule of classes there’s always time for a quick chat. The classes are taught by people from all over the Realms, so no matter what you’re looking to learn, you can probably find it at Training Day.
