I did the quest to get a point in identify, and the quest that gets you traders tongue at the Merchant's guild, those two brought me to like 95% of the way to lvl 11. Not good. but that means I probably can't get the Dragon Chestplate because it will mean xp. Now I'm having a devil of a time getting good Dragon Gloves. After about 20 tries, the best candidate is a charm quality 2 set with +40 vitality and magic (and some other stuff)
