Just curious as everything I've read says to be level 5 before leaving the first map, but I was low level 4 after visiting everywhere on the map and finishing every quest I could.
Is this normal? I literally ended up having to kill the ENTIRE goblin village (above ground and underground ) just to get ALMOST to level 5 (I leveled up right after entering mountain pass). And now I have no merchant anywhere lol (circled back to underdark for more exp, not sure how long I have to wait after finishing underdark until next merchant?).
Only thing I think I could have done wrong was the sanctuary. After killing the shaman chick that was gonna seal the place in, then going to camp, when I came back I was sealed out of the sanctuary and was placed at one of the fast travel places. (That's how I lost my first merchant lol).
Worried that I'm behind on leveling, given some people saying the were level 7 by act 2? How do I fix it?
