Thraks/Manticores

Agreed.

Also, is there any where I could make a decent amount of silver at, at this level? I'm dying for equipment. I'm still using 0x shit, heh.

Can make decent silver just about anywhere. Just gotta grind through it. Should be able to find cheap gear too, 4x or less.. 4x will get you to cap. No real need for anything higher. Just makes it a bit easier.

If you have skinned rats up through level ten, you woulda had enough silvers to buy 4x gear and stuff.

Otherwise, hunting mants and thraks, and the things on the way to them should get you alot of smaller gems, and boxs. You have enough picking skill to get those boxs easily. You should have 4x gear within the next level or two.

Character looks decent for the most part, but you have too much harness power. Unless you are planning on getting several spells soon. Col, if you are in it, shouldnt need 10 ranks. And without spells, or Col, you wont need mana.

[Natso]

Ya, i'm in CoL. I've had problems keeping my signs up in the past, so I deciding to go with a little bit of overkill on HP. I'm going to stick at 10 ranks though, till about 20th, then fixskill myself back to 4. I might make a few other changes at that point too, i'm still undecided.

As far as hunting rats and silver.. I made probably, 50-60k skinning them the entire time =/ and my first outing of picking I blew about 16k on picks. I'm making a lot better silver in manticores/thraks though. So, like you said I should probably have enough silver in a level or two.

Anyway, thanks for the input guys. Also, if anyone happens to have a fairly decent lockpick they'd like to spare, don't hesitate to look at me =x

Picks can be too expensive, especially starting out. If you stick to using ora or below, it wont be as bad. Just make sure what you hunt has locks within the range of your skills using ora. Best is if you can do it with steel/mithril. Another thing I try and do, is use the stonger picks, rather than the better modifiers.

so mithril over ora, or glaes over laje/vultite etc..

And dont forget you will need scroll reading to disarm some traps before to long. Scarabs are the main thing I recall right now.

[Artha]

Scarabs and the time rift traps.

If you need 4x gear let me know, I'll get some for you (no charge). (weapon, shield, armor)
