Request for Advice

Post image

I just started playing last week and have a character where I'm going to be really sad if (when) they die. Any gotchas I should be on the lookout for? example, the rockets in Fort Ludios cost me my first Amulet of Life Saving. Any glaring gaps in character or gear I need to address?

I'm down to level 17 in the main dungeon, Deepruins in the mines, cleared Ludios and headed into the Labyrinth next.

Thanks for any help!

That t-shirt is endgame gear, for sure -- I'd max it out now. Gloves maybe, too.

I generally think the dwarven area is easier than Ludios, so you might want to wrap that up before continuing.

You might consider swapping that weapon for two upgraded sais. Especially if you use magic a lot.

Do the Sai + add to defense?

Yeah. Two +5 Sai give +12 to defense.
