Mind Over Magic – How to Manage the Advanced Classrooms

Tips for the Advanced Classrooms

Don’t micro-manage! Set up groups and permissions!

I’ve set a group for ‘Advanced’ students. Rule: Any skill at 4.

And I set the permissions on each advanced teaching device to only allow Advanced students.

This way they train levels 1 through 4 in the Intermediate room, then they start going to the ‘good’ rooms for levels 5 and up.

I also went the extra step of setting up 7 groups for my teachers.

Pick the skill rule for a magic type, then adjusted the slider upwards until just the 2 or 3 best teachers of that skill are left.

Then set permissions on the teaching devices to only allow the teachers from that group. The extra 80 – 100% from a skilled teacher is noticeable when you’re training a student with skill 8 cap. (Note: Raise priority on the advanced teaching devices so your staff doesn’t get called away.)

I keep 8 students going nearly all the time:

• 3 with tier 1 wands. They’ll never need the advanced rooms.
• 3 with tier 2. They might train one final level in an advanced room, depending on their trials.
• 2 gifted students with tier 3 wands. They’ll train levels 1 through 4 in the intermediate room then, automatically, move up to the ‘good’ rooms for their last few (tough to train) levels.

And it all happens without me having to constantly pause and fiddle with stuff
