In reality the risks are really based on the quality of your party and I've
been fortunate to have been part of the best. I was scared to death of
dungeons and I thought Perma trains had permanently scarred me... but then I
found a little place I call home... Sol A & B. I haven't missed Selo since.
Only time I leave is to bank money and buy food (I can sell to vendors
inside the dungeon). The action and the XP are non-stop and much more
enjoyable then standing around waiting for some guard to spawn. I've been
there for 9 levels now and I'll likely be there for 5 to 6 more (unless I go
running off to Cazic. I hear that is great also). I still have yet to see
and kill a number of the rare spawns in Sol A and none in Sol B yet. I've
conquered Kindle, Singe, Predator, Foreman, Drunkard, Bartender, King,
Torturer, EXG, Efreeti to name a few and have been in groups where the rare
drop has fallen for each... Have I died? A number of times, but I've also
been racking up the rare items, wealth from selling fine steel and lots of
XP. No complaints here. There is nothing outdoors that compares.
