I deleted because a sum of a lot of little things, and one big thing, the sleek wand being the latter. I ate a crapload of mob deaths trying to find the sleek black, and reading the thread on gameplay and learning that they could possibly be in area explore areas really got me since there are locations I had no idea where they were still much less how to get around in them. I sucked it up and was going to shift gears and level up more and hit area explores, but then I learned that if you go up to a certain place with a weapon once you are screwed for life, so I figured that if my wand was in there, I was screwed.

I'll be back to the fortress with mostly the same setup, but I probably will go human. The learning rate is really the only perk that I've seen, and that is a tough bill to try to overcome the higher pk range, iron vuln, and lower con. Although sneak is damn nice as well.

I've got a new mage going that I'll use to learn even more locations and I've run course with that and learned some more I'm sure I'll be back and won't waste as much con next time.


Thanks to everyone in Fort, you guys are great and I wish I could have helped more. The ONLY enemy I can recall trying to fight me alone are Dten (excluding ragers I had no reason to fight anyway) as if a healer has much to worry about, and everyone else would run like hell until they had a gank squad that could burn me down. That is why I wanted to sleek black so backly, so I could possibly have enough time to take one of the gankers down with me and make Maran.

I know I probably needed more levels to get looked close at for Maran, but I didn't want to be another guy that leveled to hero and finally got Maran X weeks later just because he "put in his time", I wanted to know I earned it this time by doing well, and if I was going to have to face ganks to do it I was going to need barrier.

Anyway, rambling over. I don't have any specific goodbyes, but will respond to folks that post.

Thanks for the fun all!
