Right now I'm still using the Buffalo Sabre, and even sharpened it with level 5 black smithing. My accuracy right now is between 35-38 for most monsters. I have level 2 Leadership now which really didn't help much. Also up to 13 strength.
That's not a really good weapons for level 12 imo...
I haven't gotten to the ore, the Night Knights were pissing me off so I went adventuring.
You can't fight them anyway...
Can't kill off the spiders, with the slowness and can't hit for shit.
Spiders are level 14, you are level 12. Come back later...
This game is getting to be as difficult as Super Ghouls and Goblins...which I think was designed to make people smash furniture in rage. Every battle I'm in takes a good hour for me to beat.
Maybe you are in the "wrong" map? Have you been in Hiberheim? The game is not really difficult as long as you avoid fighting against enemies which are above your own level...
So far I've cleared the Immaculats going up to the Mine, in the Mine until the first Night Knight. I've cleared the goblins going to the desert. Got the 5 spiders and 2 mages and the 4 spider eggs. There is no way I can even think about killing the giant one that spawns 8 spiders.
I just got done destroying the goblin village and getting the stone from the totem. That was a really annoying battle that took a few hours to get threw.
So yeh, that is how far I am and got a 38% accuracy on all melee attacks.
The goblins are level 15/16 and you are level 12? Why do you complain of hard difficulty? You are obviously not supposed to be there yet...
Go to Hiberheim instead (White Witch quest). There you'll find enemies matching your own level. In this game you are more or less always "wrong" if enemies are two or more levels above you. No surprise that every battle lasts for an hour...
