Andor's Trail

Hi gang,

I'm lvl 20 using the following gear/stats/skills and im getting trounced as I progress forward I'm the game. Whether it's exploring new areas or dungeons I'm chugging major health potions trying to stay alive; it's getting expensive.

Lvl 20
AC 227%
AD 11-21
CH 6
BC 28

quick strike dagger, string wooden tower shield, villains ring x2, light chainmail, jewel of fallhaven, leather gloves of attack, wood cutters boot, leather cap.

Skills : weapon acc. 1, hard hit 2, fortitude 2.

HELP?

just Keep playing, get stronger and stronger (maybe by some training in Gargoyle Cave?)
Then you yourself will have the fun of destroying others

Nooo dont use the major potions of health, they cost like 250 gold!!!! Better do the quest for the bonemeal potions, i believe you start it in Crossglen tavern priest and then move to the fallhaven. That will help, bonemeal potions recover 40hp and cost about 50gold. Sounds much better, doesnt it?

Dissalowed substance is what youre looking for. There are actually no cons of using bonemeal

Your AC is very high, whereas your BC is very low (the price of the QSD!) and your AD is not great either. The actual chance you land a hit on a monster depends on the difference between your AC and the monsters BC. It will always increase with increasing AC, but once the difference is more than about 100-120 you don't get much increase in chance even for a large increase in AC. So going forward put more points into AD or BC.

One level of Regeneration means you can heal (albeit slowly) without potions. You currently get 5 attacks per round, or 2 attacks per round and a chance to flee. If you get 2 levels of Combat Speed you will get 6 attacks per round, or 3 attacks per round and a chance to flee. That's important because if you want to play with an attack based build you can't afford to get hit so often, and attack and flee is a great tactic for that. 3 attacks per round is 50% more damage than 2 attacks per round, so two levels of CS will pay dividends. If you go for attack and flee tactics also look at the Evasion skill. There's a 20% base chance that you will fail to flee, and that is reduced by 5% for each level of Evasion.

try a different weapon, balanced steel sword would be my recommendation. you get it the same place you go the dagger.
you would add 12 to your AC and 20 to your BC, and then you would add 3-7 dmg.

Yeah, I think rijackson hit it on the head.

You need to be able to take some damage. work on your d.r. Q.S. is great because it can really take the place of the oh so wonderful Jewel. I know people swear by it but not at all necessary. if you can get bark skin skill do it at least once and stash the jewel and wear Iroguti's necklace or buy defender stone. Loneford I think. hopes that makes sense.

From long mind numbing sleeping, hunting and stashing U geared up at level 4 and made a run for the venomous dagger. GOT IT! Should I stash it at home. I prefer the sharp iron dagger. or should I sell it?

Sell it!
