They have hide and detects. Plus great defenses and huge toolbox. I would be greatly surprised if it is hard for you to hero that. I can probably do it in about 30 hours and that would include practicing and cabal induct if I get lucky with seeing a leader. I usually slow down and actively try to avoid leveling for a while at different milestones and still gain eventually without trying on incidentals. For bonus exp and help go goodie. 1-15sh academy quest gear and flame blade. Keep weight under half max always. Then upgrade to Bramblefield stuff to 25sh. Then get goblin general gear from emerald. That stuff gets you to hero. If you are missing a piece just ask ic. Honestly smth with two dam is good enough. Be scribe and nobody bothers you to raid and hunt. Hide from danger and just run if attacked. Make sure to keep return and teleport potions in inventory. Just flee and quaff if attacked by anyone.
