yes. mentoring. oh ya btw he’s still an apprentice rn but soon he’ll be a warrior lowkk uhmm you can offer your kits now but like I only have like one slot me thinks .. teaching style : Merlinpaw is the kind of mentor that expects a lot from his apprentices. he wants them up early and ready for training the moment they turn six moons. he’s a little strict, but he was in their shoes at one point and understands what it’s like. he’s also the kind of mentor that wants to genuinely have a relationship with his apprentices— he wants them to feel comfortable with him and he with them. we don’t always have to do training threads, and we can definitely do some bonding/talking ones too ! he’s only interested in training his apprentices as long as /they/ are interested in training. he expects motivation and determination to be the best, just as he did when he was younger. he’s not one to deal praise easily, but he also isn’t one to hold back when his apprentice does something to impress him. he’ll probably change his mind a lot, and can be very contradictory. just kinda go with the flow ig .. key : (o) = optional (r) = required schedule : week one territory tour (r) beginner fighting (r) how to crouch (o) basic hunting (r) tracking (r) shallow-water hunting (o) swimming (r) hunting in deeper water (o) stamina training (r) hunting checkpoint (r) fighting checkpoint (r) dodging (o) week two swimming 2 (o) fighting extension (r) basics in climbing (r) advanced fighting (r) fighting in different conditions (o) extended climbing (r) digging (o) bouldering (o) diving for prey (r) tracking 2 (o) swimming checkpoint (r) week three tracking checkpoint (r) advanced fighting 2 (r) advanced dodging (r) advanced fighting 3 (r) spar (o) fighting checkpoint (r) swimming + diving review (o) hunting review + checkpoint 2 (o) tracking review (o) climbing review (o) stamina training (r) final on fighting (r) final on swimming + diving (r) final on hunting (r) final on tracking (r) final on climbing (r) final on stamina (r) this is a good 40-something threads if you do ever single one, which would get you 80+ exp ! my personal goal is to do 20+ threads with each apprentice so that I can get that yummy exp too .. what I want from apprentices 1. please be motivated and ready to grind ! I’m a rather grindy person when it comes to this stuff, and I tend to be pretty motivated ! 2. we start threads 50/50. yes, I’m motivated, but I can’t start 40+ threads myself </3 .. current / future apps : Jubilantkit Hummingbirdpaw .. and that’s all ! just offer up your cat and give me a bit of their personality + expectations for grinding and I’ll see if they’d be a good mentor / apprentice pair !
