______________________________________________

Believe it or not, I did NOT use the Inn gold cheat. I did use the "resell items" trick, then waited until Daevi got the "Fletchery" trait and went to town on the Dragon Arrows.

I did not use the "Toughen" trick. All HP's above were naturally derived (with some "quit and reload" assistance).

The only NPC's I killed during the game were: Scabban, Raskalion, and Scanthril. I did NOT kill Erathsmedor, Oakenmir, the Sphinx, the Leprechaun, or any of the other top grossing XP NPC's.

I DID use the "Jathil Quest" bug from time to time, as well as the "Leprechaun Quest" bug to level up characters..but only when they were "on the edge".

I DID use the "Unlimited Scorpions" feature in the Shrine of Anephas a gazillion times. Fill the pit with scorpions, teleport out, firebomb them, jump back in, repeat.

I DID the "climb the wall" trick at Brimloch Roon to get to the Isle of Sands prematurely to complete Sabastio's 2nd quest so I could get the 3rd Wizard's Guild quest.

I DID use the "Summon Fiend" trick and pickpocket them for Ankhs. (How else could I get all stats 24 on Sigir?)

A lot of my XP was by random wandering on the Isle of Sands and around the Lost Sea area. I started Brimloch Roon with my characters all at about level 17-20, which goes to show that the game really doesn't take off until you get to the last part.

Well, I'm proud of them. Also, I wanted to show that one can finish with VERY high scores without killing NPC's and too much bug exploitation. It just makes it a bit difficult in the beginning.

Cheers,
Sazerac

Those characters are worrying.

I would hate to see what would happen to the stat league tables if you ever did a 6man expedition, Sarevoc.
Did any of your characters kill more than a 1000 enemies?
Si.

Si: take a look at Sigir's kill ratio. 2767 kills, 496 assists.

Most of those, however, were probably gold scorpions in the Shrine of Anephas. I probably killed about a thousand of those (easily!)

-Sazerac

Oh, I did run a 6-character party on my first go through. They finished up at around 25-30th level. O'course I didn't do everything and I didn't know about the Scorpion trick, so...

"S"

Bumping up for the benefit of RudeDawg and Black Knight...

just to let you know, these were average rolled characters when I started out. This is what this game will let you do.

And NO, you don't have to kill the big NPC's to do it!!!!

BK: no exp. cap. You can get to level 200 or more if you want. (Generally only soloists do that.)

All the best XP is west of Brimloch Roon. Don't worry if you're only about 14 or 15th level by the time you get there. You'll start shooting up rapidly.

WOW...

*heavy breath* "Impressive. Most Impresseive..." *heavy breath* (never could figure how to type out Vader's omminous breathing)

OK, now I'm RTFMing again to figure out if I can get the Fletching skill, and any others that look good for me...
