Boar path is much better as it is more of a challenge with the worm in the way if you "just have to get them last two boars". And the boots were the reward for "takin' it the hard way", but now we're thinkin' of something else to make it worthwhile again, such as the leather I suggested for 75 gold. Maybe make that at the chance the boots used to be, so that the item makes less money for the player than the boots used to, but the fun is put back in.

The bear path is filled with more variety, challenge, and you don't have to run as far home. Some of us like it that way, we just want equal pay as the snake cave again. I know that those of you that like the snake cave best really don't care, but it means something to us...

Boars still a fun target, but I'm an equal-opportunity dispatcher. Although, I do tend to hunt the meat-droppers; as, I'm not a vegan and prefer some rustled-up boar steaks and mead at Ulmar's camp at times.

i cleared flagstone at 12, then went to go grind for a GoLF!
surprisingly - it was very easy on my potion supply and great XP / Gold for your level.
[the GoLF is just a lucky bonus if you can snag one!]
just get inside that crypt & you're home free!!!
they drop potions in there, just in case you run a little low...
(and those sell well too when you make it back home - duh)
just a random thought

(my only skill at the time was Increased Fortitude 1)

Pyrizzle,

Please enlighten me as I am curious as to why at this point in your A.T. experience you would want to try this.
I have my Tek hero that is geared more towards defense but at times veered off from that strategy (I think Blackwater contributed to that ). My second hero is built more at the offensive end of the spectrum and it really is not doing anything for me so I have been thinking about creating a third character that will be purely defensive and like Tek, he will have a RoL.

insink71 wrote:I have restarted like eight times over, maybe why I like killing boars so much. But I think I'm settled on this new one. Level 20 and just added my 2nd IF; Basically killing whatever in first three cities and working on Vilegard [bought up all items in first two towns]. Maybe I'll try to go find this golf thing.
Current skills:

• IF at 5.. yep I waited a train
• EM at 8 [only optional train imo].. preparing for [future] wyvern
• Reg and CS [can't remember order; whichever way they fit]
• IF 2nd time at 20

I do an unscientific approach on trains as,
ap, as, block.. repeat cycle; no hp as this has een compensated for with the IF skill(s)

On questing [and the only way I messed up so far]:

I talked to Minara about the trouble down the road BEFORE I asked her her opinion on the diseased town... Now I gotta kill a river troll before I can see if she'll talk to me about the town. That could be improved prob.. think I'll try to dl the code and study up on quest/quest dialogue editing

Thanks.
