Well I have been playing for awhile. I dont know what you are spending you
money on but I had an entire suit of leather by 7th level. I guess its how
you play. You get in a hurry and wanna kill everythig in site, waste time
screwing around ect. Patience is key. Get your armor. Get prepared before
you start "adventuring". The ill prepared seems to always die. Ya it gets
mundane. Sometime you have to kill stuff that doesnt give you exp. But its
easy to make 5 plat in a night or more killing bugs, spiders and skels. The
armor...not that patchwork garbage will pay you back 10 fold. If you make it
fine no prob. But I did not make squat, wouldnt buy it or wear it. Im 20ish
level now in what 3 weeks? and no im not 24 7 player. Just being prepared is
the key and knowing the bard. The patchwork is a waste of money and skill
points i will always say :-) Play smart Play Prepared. That scarab will tear
you up in patchwork. In leather you will solo it.
