Thank you all for your responses, much appreciated.
A lot of advice there, unfortunately I'm not high enough level to put more skill point in Regenerate. I have to be level 18 to be able to invest any more skill points in there. Thousand Strikes sounds good but my mana pool is so low I couldn't even use it. I have 170 mana that skill requires 273 at level 1.
I think I may start over, as I'm not sure this toon is now salvageable, and invest skill points and stat points more wisely, and keep a closer eye on the weapons and armour I dispose of. As you know, bag space is at a premium, so I tended to hold onto the plants and ore which left little room for anything else.
It seems I need a lot more mana than I have to execute some of these skills, but I thought strength to be the primary stat for a warrior.
Unfortunately there is nowhere else for me to level up, I've cleared Farglow, Broken Valley and a significant amount of Sentinal Island, unless I try Orobas Fjords, but that's a much higher level area right?
I can't upgrade my creature any further, I've got parts but I can't seem to use 'em. I'm guessing I'll be able to upgrade more once I've gained possession of the Battle Tower?
Of course it could just be I suck at the game

Bye for now.
