Hey how do I level up. Iv gotten as far as out of fargrove and into the land of elves or w/e. ANd I just havent gotta and points to upgrade with yet or anything. Im sure im still at level 1 nothing has told me otherwise. Where do I check?

That's a pretty basic interface question. Did you try reading the manual?

Could you try telling me the awsner. I read the manual.

when your playing at the top left of the screen there is a blue bar if its full just hit c and it should give you the level, if its not full then you havent got enough exp for a level yet

Thank You! That blue bar has been full forever!

w/e you do dont die!!! all your points will be GONE!!!!

iv only died once..

Hm

I know my level doesn't go up until I press "C" to check my skills. My blue bar doesn't reset until I do that. It does give me the extra experience I earn beyond the level too. So its not like I'm losing anything (I hope). I've gone from level 2 to 4 without seeing 3.
Have you ever pressed "c" to check your skills after your blue bar has filled? Not questioning your competence, but I wouldn't be surprised if a lvl 1 hasn't checked his skills.

Yes i figured that out i went up to level 8... so i guess I just missed out on all the other levels. Everything has been so easy to kill since i went up inlevel. Does leveling up give you anything extra or does the level just get higher?

I was wondering the same thing...what kind of bonus/benefit do you get from actually increasing your level? As far as I can tell its just symbolic...your experience points gained are the points you can spend.

Also, I was reading the gameplay tips (http://www.gamebanshee.com/dungeonlords ... aytips.php)

...and it mentioned:

"In version 1.4/1.5, if you use a weapon, then you'll automatically gain experience in the skill required for the weapon."

I don't quite get this...I thought you get experience points for kills/quests and then spend those to raise your skills. Do you gain extra experience at random when using weapons? That sentence makes no sense to me.

Thanks in advance

For example, if you use a light weapon in combat, then you'll receive a small trickle of experience in light weapons.

Ok...but..what does that mean? Will my light weapon skill go from 1 to 2 automatically? Or does it mean that the cost to go from 1 to 2 is lowered? (And there is some internal variable keeping track of it).

It just makes no sense given the UI (not that the UI ever made sense anyway...heheh)

I would really like to know this too.
I thought it meant you wield blunt weapons better then lets say, swords if you have been using them more. But what "better" means or if that is even the idea at all I haven't a clue.
