Ironworks Gaming Forum - View Single Post - Re-Starters club : How long in the monastery?

I've taken about twenty parties through the monastery. My now highly refined character advancement scheme in the monstery is to level the party up only to 4, but take the XP up to 100,000 each. Generally this takes about two weeks.

Level 4 is high enough to take care of the Gregor and rabid rats without any problem, but not so high that the random encounters become difficult.

Once you hit level 6, the monastery becomes much harder and the Arnika Road almost impossible. On the other hand, a highly trained but only level 4 party can wander the Arnika road almost without worry.

Once I get to Arnika and can get better equipment, I then level up the party to 7/8.
