Hi there!

Joined about 4 days ago and love this game so far!

I am currently a lvl 14 archer and have applied 10 levels into Cold skill and 10 levels into the Archer skill (that "P" name) with one level into each of the following:

(sorry for not knowing precise names)

Devil Arrow
White Hawk

The freeze/cold arrow
The cold armor/protection thing... (Looks like an ice orb that circles you)

No points have been placed into str or int

I believe I am about 31 str 31 int and about 400+ for life and "mana"


My questions are these:

1.) Have I messed up my chance to get the max benefit from SP farming?
- If so how and how can it be corrected?
2.) Do I just go after bandits once level 16?
- And if so can it be any kind of bandit?
3.) Is there a reason why people dont SP farm at say where the stone cats are?
3.) If I am all set but I do level, how do I unlevel?
4.) Will +int or +str items mess up the balance of health/mana?


Any other useful advice would be appreciated
Thank You

hey..ok disclaimer im a noob too..but i tot theres something u need to noe(which im almost certain im correct)

U can start adding those character points u saved for INTEL/STR... choose 1 but probably not both..(unless u wanna be a hybrid)

I would say ALL to STR? u shld have bout 42 points if im right
reason for this: read around the forums...most pros state that pure intel bow kinda contridict themselves as nukes have shorter range then bow...and u cant tank coz u have no hp...

As for Skills.. ur max mastery is 10...so i guess u probably wont farm at lvl 16 in stronghold as u only have a gap 6. Can still be done though...cept at a slower ratE compared to a gap 9? but i think ur not screwed...if ur only going for 2 trees ice and bow, a 4-5 gap for the entrie game is probably reasonable for u to maintain all ur skills.. but i may be wrong... So u dun really have to worry bout sp farming...unless u wanna farm now and go with a 0 gap for rest of the game? depends on what u wanna do...

if ur pure str buy +str items...since u dun really need the magic boost? and the higher the physical balance the better...so juz buy them without worries...+str gear tt is...

y pplz dun farm at cats? i think its bcoz ur probably lvl 7-9 when ur there... and u probably need at least ur imbue to kill them fast..Unless u have like SoX crit 1X items.... tt means u have a gap or 2-4...which sux in terms of the sp u get...if ur sp farming....

TTs all....some pro plz come and correct me...
