[Ninjitsu] Ki Attack / Death Strike problems

[euhemerus]

Can someone please give me a detailed example of how to get Ki Attack / Death Strike to work.

I have ninjitsu at 89.6 and I have tried and tried and tried to get any gain from Ki Attack or Death Strike, but nothing.

I am getting desperate, as I see all guides saying Ki Attack and Death Strike is the way to finish.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, so I'll do it very very basically.

First, bring up an icon for death strike (you never need to use ki attack... ever).

Second, use death strike. See how the icon turns red (it does this in both clients)?

That means that the next attempt at a hit will be an attempt to death strike. Now go hit something. At this point you'll hear your ninja say "HOOWAKA!" or something along those lines and you'll get a message about the success of your death strike in either your chat window (EC) or the lower left of your screen (CC).

If you don't gain at least once per day, then you may be skill capped or have the skill set to lock.

Thanks, that helped me... I thought I was doing it wrong. I guess if my weapon skill is 00.0 then it wouldn't be very effective. You only get skill points if you land a hit?

I have a tamed horse who just stands there and we fight, but his health or my health don't decrease... we are in Malas.... could this be the problem?

You doing it right, but ninja skill increase only on success death strike, so advice is get jewelry to get to 95-100 skill.
