The name being Vitality I'd assume it either increases my Vitality permenately or temporarily. Am I right?


Drink it for a permanent increase in Vitality

Also, as I get further into the game, my suspicion that I have really sucky armor and weapon grows stronger. I don't have a problem with most of the bad guys, one whack and their usually dust (except those annoying snakes..I can never see them until they poison me)..I usually drop my old armor for stuff I find with higher AC and Durability..maybe it's just me because I'm unfamiliar with all the upgrading and repairing process? It just seems like I lose Health very fast.


As a general tactic, at low levels, I always completely repair all my items when I return to town. You can get a benefit from upgrading, but remember to keep a close eye on your items. As a rule of thumb I wouldn't upgrade beyond 50 durability.

I also feel like I'm at a very low level (25 or so), I kill every bad guy I come across and more usually than not I clear out all of a dungeon looking for treasures. So I can't see how I CAN be at a higher level but the spell books I'm finding (just found the book of Stone) required 105 Magic minimum..I'm only at 50 of so on all of my upgradable stats.


Have patience - eventually you will get sufficient stats to allow you to read these books. Another way is to hang onto any magic stat boosting items you find / steal and boost your stats that way.

Last, and definately least, what do I do with all the quest items I don't need anymore? Like the Celestrial Swoad, for example? Things that no one will buy are currently in a pile on the ground in the middle of town. For space, money, and experience I also return the things to the townsfolk are looking for to them..but there are still things just sitting on the ground that nobody asked for.


Once you have used them in the Quests, these items are utterly useless - drop them on the ground and ignore them if you can't sell them [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

Happy hunting!
