1) The boogre caves are up north in the Ishad N'ha area. Just continue north after meeting the band of ratlings and you'll get to a lake. Take a swim to get further north.
You can also check out Xignal's maps
here.
2) No a wizard will never be able to learn moon magic. He will have to make due with Sun and Stone. To learn moon you need either a bard, a ninja or a warlord.
3) Why not? I like to use brute force in my games.
And you can certainly need it early on but it is not a must have. Try without one at first, if you don't like it head back to Valeia and add a warrior to your party.
4) Stand outside the gate facing it. Look up at the sky. Then jump. You will get a superjump in fact. Then all you have to do is run along the tree tops. Beware that you sometimes can get stuck. A vansih can save you but you can just as well end up in the midst of a forest (or a tree
)! To quote Bungleau "Save early, save often. Save before, save after!"
Oh and good luck!
