Hi lindsy.
I have several thoughts. First off, the where command is your friend, make
sure you use it in any new area sinse if you walk into an area too high for
your level you will die, no questions asked. Always make sure you are at
least the same level, or in sme some cases over the level for the area that
you are in.
Next, preparation. if you walk into areas without your preparatory spells
and such up, you are going to be in trouble. My character for instance as
a clerric warrior has bless, armor, faith shield, protection from evil and
holy weapon, and that's not counting stuff I get from necromancers
bennifits.
then, make sure you have a way to heal yourself. As a cleric for me this
isn't a problem, but other class combinations will likely need to carry
more healing with them to heal in battle.
Lastly, equipment. you can't just pick up and wear anything in the game, or
even anything that is your level. one of the best tips dentin gave me was
that playing a clerric warrior, i wanted gear that improved my hit roll more
than my armor, so that I could dish out more damage to monsters and would be
reliant upon my spells for protection. Same goes for spells too, I always
for instance have a demon familiar of the red imp who improves hit and
regen.
I'm not sure what class your character is, but this might be something to
considder, especially when you have gear that can actually lower your cast
level, ie, make all your spells worse, or gear that can increase your
resistance to magic, and that counts both friendly spells you or others
cast upon yourself, and unfriendly spells from enemies.
then, get your stratogy sorted. elemental weaknesses, spells that do
continuous damage or cause status conditions and curses can help a lot. As a
cleric I often find spells like feeble mind really handy, not to mention
elemental type spirit hammer.
necro minians can also be helpfull as meat shields in nasty areas as well,
or so I've found.
Personally I will confess the slowness of getting through arcase and the
lack of new areas is getting a bit of a drag at the moment, sinse right now
I seem stuck betwene the same old areas and not strong enough to go into new
oneswhich is why I've not played as much alter as I might have, but I do
intend to carry on with the game and eventually make it to the mainland, and
more areas are added all the time, I enjoyed the new dragon keepers castle,
indeed, I enjoyed all of the dark forest, though i wish it was a little
longer and slightly higher level.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
