Could someone please tell me how one trains with a golem?

I have never trained with one, and I don't know how to do it. If someone could give me step by step info on this, I would be very grateful. I'm trying to train macing.

Thanks a lot!

I have never trained with a golem, but I understand you have to get it to stop hitting you with a all stop command, I believe, then you can wack on it all you wish with no harm to self. You will have to repair it at times, a tinker can do that or [I think] a tinker repair deed.

Someone also said something about another skill being able to heal it, but I am not sure what that was, remember such things is a problems today for me, unless its is wrote down then I will forget it.

I am sure those more experience people will post here, either with a correction on my information or to say, yep thats it. Good luck with the training.

Thanks , Drakelord. I actually need specific info. What to do first, etc. Hopefully someone knows the correct way to do it to get it to work so it doesn't kill you or get killed itself.

Tinkered golems have very high poison resist. Originally, they always had 100% poison resist, which resulted in them not fighting back if hit with a 100% poison damage weapon, due to them never taking damage and thus not having any reason to aggro their attacker. Due to this quirk, tinkered golems became a very popular tool for training melee skills, as well as archery and magery with a -magery weapon. As this inevitably led to unattended training on golems, tinkered golems were patched to have 99% poison resist. Unfortunately, this did little to fix the problem, mostly for two reasons:

The fix was not retroactive, thus resulting in all tinkered golems existing at the time of the fix maintaining their 100% poison resist.

The fix was easily worked around with creative use of pet commands.

So use a 100% poison weapon and if you should "roll" that 1% chance of hurting the golem, thus having it attack you, just say "All stop" (might have to also invis yourself, but I don't think so) and start fighting him again.

Tinkered golems require no taming or lore skill to create, own, or control.

I needed to know , do I tell it to guard? Do I hit first or tell it to attack me then stop? I am getting hit , and the golem is taking damage, and the training is not working, so I must not be setting it up right.

Thanks.

I just talked to some people trying it outside Luna and, apparently, this last patch stopped it completely. They were all killing their golems. Too bad..........it was an easy way to train, but it appears to be history. Sorry.

I don't know the changes to the pet commands, but I know how I used to do it:

1: Say "All Guard Me" This tells your golem to guard you.

2: Attack your golem until you physically hit it once. It will not stop attacking you until you hit it.

3: As soon as you hit it, say "All stop", and tab out.

4: It will continue swinging at you until it gets one last hit in. If you did it right, this should be the only time it hits you. Then it will stop attacking you and will be in peace mode, and you'll start hitting it in response. That's it.

It sounds odd, but it always worked for me. Other people had a much longer sequence, not all of which I ever memorized.

Hope this helps.
