Welcome to the forum, genni. May you find your visit here most enjoyable in the name of Ruben Faerol and the Good Gods of the seven races. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Seeing as you are level 10 you probably didn't journey much throughout the Aleroth/Rivertown area. If you haven't done that yet go talk to the farmers in the farmlands and get a few quests (like delivering letters for instance, that's a no risk experience)
You might running around the Rivertown area without accepting any quests worthwhile as well - you could exterminate some Orcs that the area is swarming with. Though that does rarely bring much excitement it does allow you to level-up well (try killing the less exp. profiting monsters first - as time passes you will get less points for them and eventually might stop getting any.)

And as for the weapons - you encounter randomly generated equipment mostly so it might take a while before you find something that fits your taste and the size of your enemies throats, and on the other hand, with a stroke of luck you might find a true death bringer pretty early on (as I did) but the common rule is such: the higher your level, the better weapons you get...

PS. Combat hint: When fighting a slow moving ,though lethal in close contact, enemy try using the bow it works surprisingly well as none of your enemies can run - all of them only walk.

Uff, I hope you were able to get through all that text. I'm sorry but I'm sometimes a real chatterbox. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
