I need to farm honor and I wondered what gives the best honor gains? what do you think I should farm for it?
Have not tried succubus, but normally three or four hits and the balron is dead for me. Now the para Balron is a differant story still trying to change my skills up to kill that thing in reasonably time with out dying. But its a fun challenge.I think succubus are quicker, they have about 1/3 the HP of Balrons.
I know UOHerald says you have to let the opponent get first hit, but I've never noticed any difference for purposes of honor. Are you sure it works that way?I tried sucubus but found i had to actually do more work than with balrons, I.E. Balrons i can pretty much just tuch 1 button every 60 seconds to gain fast, where as sucubuss i have to move around and hope she gets the first hit in.
With balrons i just stand in the middle, hit my honor macro when its close and then afk till the next one is withing Honor range.

I only heard about it a few days ago, but since trying it out and not moving an letting it hit first i finally got knight of honor, where as before iv never managed to hit it by moving and taking the first shot.I know UOHerald says you have to let the opponent get first hit, but I've never noticed any difference for purposes of honor.

I agree with this... otherwise, I'd never get honor against miasma with my sampire since he gets hit so little, and I can also get honor with my archer if I space the distance correctly. So, I don't think this rule was ever implemented.Btw, I've never waited to be hit first when Honoring something. It doesn't seem to make any difference.
I have never seen a difference between tamer/ pets and melee characters for gaining honor. The design notes say you can't gain or will gain less honor with pets, but it isn't so.I also farm it at the Dojo with the Succumbi... I have knighted honer many many times and I do not wait for her to hit me first. I have also done this with pets, which if it gives less for hittting first and moving as such, I would think that would be the slowest method to gain honor and I still knight it in no time.
