I'm playing just past Lovis Tower and heading towards Maxos Temple. I'm level 12 and seem to be a level or two above the monsters, which really reduces the challenge. I think I messed up because most rewards are completely useless so I always choose experience. The only tough fights I've found since "the change" are against Black Ring Seargents and any archer with poison. Viper and his crew were murder before I got all jumpy and blasty on them. I'm a pure mage. I skipped fireball but I might be regretting doing that. It seems like I need an area affect spell. Mage blast is great but I could use a crowd killer skill to save tedium. One thing I've noticed is that without any skills in melee at all, I can go toe-to-toe with anyone my level that's not a boss type.

I'm hoping that they make another expansion before moving on. I'd love to see another low-level expansion where you play somebody NOT saving the world. To me, the quest rewards need to be reworked so that items are as valuable as experience. It's a no brainer to take experience over a measly potion or weapon/item that's not tailored to my build. I also find weapons and armor WAY more often than magic boosting jewelry or charms. I'll reload chests 20 times looking for jewelry or charms smile

Is there a level cap, speaking of overlevelling?

Only inasmuch as there's a limited amount of experience to be had, as far as I know. I think I heard of someone getting to level 48, but I gather that most seem to end up at about 44/45.

I always carry two weapons with adds to magical damage so that my spells hit for whatever bonus to magic damage the weapons carry. At my current level, I'm wielding two weapons with +12 each on damage, so I get a bonus of 24 damage on every damage spell cast. I have a second set that have a mana leech affect, but I never equip them. I do need to go back and visit the tree and Buad for some potions though. I haven't made my way to the enchanter guy yet, but I should maybe do that before entering the temple of Maxos.

Does anyone know if you can enchant magic damage multiple times on the same weapon? Can I enchat +12 to magic damage 3 times on a weapon or perhaps something like +12, +8, +4, etc?

Sorry, only 1 type of enchant per any weapon/armor/jewelery.

p.s. You may have the same charm multiple times on the same item tho.

I'd like to close by quoting Bellegar's famous last rhyme:

"Cursed be the mother that bred thee!
The wench must have been a hell-spawned banshee!"

If you use a trainer, it caps out at 60, but I've never heard of anyone getting over level 50 without cheating.

I don't cheat games, so I'll probably end up at 50 then xD
