Before entering Verdistis I was level 25, and had done much of the stuff in Rivertown. I pretty much did all the quest in Verdistis, then cleared the Rivertown sewers (doing that first that made rescuing Zandalor easier, BTW) and entered the castle (at level 29). I got out of Iona's dungeon at level 31.
Since (IMNSHO) it would probably be better to redo a bit of hack and slash than miss quests, the Verdistis save would probably be the best match, correct? Or would you rather skip Verdistis so you do not have to redo the castle and first level of Iona's dungeon?
EDIT
Here is a temporary link to a character edited save (now a male wizard named Comy) just before I entered Verdistis <link removed>.
You will need to use
iZakaroN's SaveEditor (or from
Kiya's site, with description) to adjust the skills and stat point distribution.
At this point, all my loot is in Joram's house, upstairs and down.
I started the game before the latest
patch was released, so do not drop Finnigan's magic lockpicks on the ground (they will disappear), and do not complete the quest (you can not buy them back). If you do either, they can be replaced using the
Lost Items procedure (ignore the first mention of Finnigan's lockpicks, which directs you to a different topic).
