Aw man... I thought I'd go and try some soloing, see what all the fuss is about. Got myself some nice Berserker, to be dualled to Mage later.
I walk out of Irenicus' Prison in no less than 30 days (damn Berserker Rage keeps tiring me out and I have Strength 15 so I suck at fighting otherwise).
I remember Edwin's wise words to do the Circus quest early on (easy XP and get the Ring of 18 Charisma, since mine is only 10). I stash all my stuff on a table near the Adventurer's Mart (to be sold after I get the Ring) except for my weapons and armor (Mail of the Dead and two non-magical flails). I walk into the tent, answer a stupid riddle and level up to 9; dualling time. I figure I'd better wait until I deal with Kalah himself.
I now find out that Shadows need to be hit with
magical weapons!
Great, I don't have any. I run all over the place to free Aerie while some stupid Shadow follows my every step. I run up the stairs all the way up to Kalah and end up with about 3 Shadows and 6 Werewolves on my tail. I bash up Kalah (No Mirror Images? What kind of stupid Illusionist is he?) and *poof*, all monsters vanish.
I hit the spacebar and dual to Mage just before Kalah delivers his death rant, and all of a sudden I am a
level 5 Mage! Never even read a scroll.
Some death rant!
Of course, the first thing I did after that was read all my scrolls. That made me a level 7 Mage that has never cast a spell in his life.
I am now on my way to the Graveyard, to take care of orphans and Paladins and teddy bears for more easy XP.
Any suggestions for more easy quests? And money, of course. I ain't got no...
