Chuck,
    I use the APs either in jazzercizes (5 26pt j's a turn) or in attacking
dark places (caves, tombs, hillocks, camps, etc...).  My monsters have around
250 aps apiece.  If I have a large number (50+) aps left over at the end of
a turn I will do a weapon practice but I find them extremely ineffective.

I don't think the charges are that outrageous and have nothing else to spend
my money on.  ( have you ever bought 44 white lotus leaves at 10 ocs apiece
before - I have as they are the only thing I can spend money on despite always
doing the most expensive inn stays and having every piece of knowledge money
can buy at the far inss I have been to)

Beyond level 4, though, you are right that no far inns sell training so at
that point I depend on hits and battle and the rare wp's I mentioned above.
Given that with almost no weapon practices, though, my monster is at level 6
in edged and using his level 5 edged Great Sword I think I do pretty well.  He
is at level 4 in almost everything else, most of the levels having been bought
at far inns.
