My perspective on the shop idea: If you have a particularly interesting and/or high level spellcomp I'm going to save the gold by throwing on my thief sklev set and shoplifting it from you. I find that mobs are very expensive to purchase from, and I'd much rather have the exp from shoplifting.

I don't see how you would do that. You'd have to move places like dragontooth and gads around; the hospital would get move (even though parts of it are level 25 and lower and parts aren't), you'd have to change the whole dark forest area around as well. Vikings and azguard... the former is belo

You won't be able to do the azguard quest or the hospital quite yet. You'll want to get several more levels before going after them. I'd recommend level 30 or so for azguard (that's when I first managed to solo all of it), and you'll probably need a tank for the hospital, as the boss mob hits r
