[color:"orange"]I ended up in Stormfist Castle at level 7![/color]
That's pretty impressive. In a game trying for the lowest possible character level finish, Areana entered the castle about level 5, cleared the council hall about level 6, eventually doing the blessing ceremony at level 12, to end up in the wastelands at level 17.
Thats low charactor levels. The 1st time I Played I didn't know which quests were part of the main story line(Or mandatory) and which were optional. To finish at that level must mean only doing the main story line and even then running past the monsters or using fade from sight and shadow potions.
The 1st time I played I tried staying in Rivertown as long as possible. I didn't care for the wastelands. The Orcs were my favorite enemy to fight and never saw any in the wastelands. Though I went didn't clear the entire map there.
I wonder how may levels Areana got in the wastelands. Because killing 4 monsters there at level 17 would probably level you. I get the feeling that this involves using scorpians and fighting invisible a lot, either that or tons of potions. But I don't see how you could afford to buy enough potions unless early on you had some charms drop that you could use to trade for them.
I net Areana killed every rabbit, chicken and cow on the map. Great substitute for potions and will only give 50xp for rabbits and chickens. Cows might be slightly more, not sure.
