Although I know most people go to trynton after Arnika, I like to hit the Umpani camp and pick up some of the spells the vendor sells there. I generally don't make any spell picks leveling up except maybe missile shield and element or soul shield during level ups until the lv 6 spells are available. The Umpani aren't too tough to reach in fact I'm sure you could do it before Arnika, but I like to go there first and make some cash with alchemy first. Then I head to Umpani, sign up and buy the lv 4 spells he sells. I quit doing the umpani quest though, except for maybe the first one, the obstacle course, those dang umpani caverns are a pain in the ass to get around in.
If your lv 12 at that point, head to the swamp past trynton and stock up on the lv 4 and 5 spells Crocks sells. Then you can hit the Upper Branches of Trynton with a nice selection of magic to deal with that pain in the butt place. I hate trynton more than any other area in the game. The narrow walkways and crowds of trynnies really make the fights an exercise in patience.
