Your Realm score helps your green zone increase, too. If you practice with Knock Knock at lowest power on a tough lock for even a few minutes, your Earth and Alchemy Skills will increase noticably. Get a couple Mana Stones so you don't have to sleep (just don't use all 3 charges, sell and buy back to recharge). You should be able to cast Element Shield even by L10 in the PL5 range if your Earth is high enough.
Unfortunately, there's no such "cheese" for Soul Shield. (except maybe in combat, healing opponents...) And though a Bard's equivalent of PL goes up with Music Skill, there's still a random factor with Instruments+
.
I agree, though, you have to be very careful in Expert Ironmode, for your Faerie will be weak, and your Monk nearly harmless for what'll seem like too long.
(i've dragged a similar enough party through on Expert but not Ironmode.)
