I'm playing in Merc level, my party of 4 are at Amanlu at ~35th level. I want to complete the Arinth the Mad sidequest, but I don't have a Combat Mage. I disbanded my dire wolf and picked up Finala, but she starts at level 22 and can't equip the Staff of Arinth. So I did some aimless backtracking and wandering to get some experience for her. I got bored that and decided to continue with the Amanlu Arena quest. I killed all but the 10th round of bad boys and decided to continue with the primary quest. I killed Talon and completed Act 2, but Finala has only gone up one stinking level. At this rate will I ever get her up to level 28 so she can use the staff or is it a wasted effort? My best idea at this point is to disband all but Finala so she gets a bigger helping of exp and then do some more backtracking in order to bring her up to speed.
Any thoughts or ideas?

How far did you backtrack? You get the most experience from enemies within five levels of the character you're trying to advance.
