>and that this inexperience is why you have "crappy gear"

Be so kind, point my nose exactly to advice in his post, where he told how to get good* gear on 15th rank as a mage, without being lucky enough to find hero's corpse with shinies, or some high lvl friends and such?

I will be very thankful.

*good means "limited" or "hard to get". fine leather stuff + sandy cloaks + all such stuff dont counts.

>why it takes you "an hour" to acquire a return potion
I just supposed. Never ever tried to take it on lowbies. Okay, let it be half hour. Point my nose to his advice, where he told how actually get it quickly?

Not stuff like "be vigilant" or "have detections and protections up" or such. How to get return potion fast and cheap and easy. Please.

Answer on unasked questions: No. I almost never die on lowbie-midbie ranks, unless I make character for PK/fun and simply dont care about him.
