I don't have Jboots, or a gobby ring and I do just fine using taper and invis. You just need to know, or find, the right spots and be a little more careful with your tactics.

Nostalgia - Thanks for the validation that I can make it without ubering out my gear. I think I'm up to like 155 CHA self-buffed.

What do you use taper for? Is it a better way to break charm over invis'ing yourself?

Do you have suggestions for good spots from 25 on?

Oppaline earings (5cha) are like 50-80 plat a piece, crude stein (15 cha) you can most likely buy off the first ogre vendor in Oggok. I forget what my rings are but they're player made and I think 7 cha a piece. I've seen some loam encrusted pieces selling for 250-500 if you can afford it. I bought a kromzek surveyor scope last night for 50pp, which is probably one of the cheapest clickies you can buy.

I mistakenly bought some +int earrings so I think I need to swap them out (bat skull). Totally snagged a Crude Stein already when I was grabbing a Forager's Bag from Oggok. I have one nice ring but need to look into getting another. I haven't seen anyone selling Loam yet in EC but I'm also afraid of dipping into my ~1k pp reserve since it seems like the cost of spells (and lvling up research) is outpacing my income generation as I level up more. I will absolutely check out the scope, looking at it on the wiki it seems like it might mess up your vision when used. Does that cause you problems?

As for clickies, your rod will be your best friend. Not only is the clicky useful for spells but the cha on the rod is great for you.

Hit me up in game on Nahd if you're blue, I'll help you drop some shadowed men and can link you some items.

Nahd - Yeah I can't wait to get the rod. I was lucky enough a kind monk was shouting out availability when he was camping the summoner while I was leveling in uguk. Also camped the shadowed men yesterday with a Cleric who needed the rapier for jboots and made it to rathe mtns for the first enchantment. Unfortunately I got ahead of myself and tried to charm kill two giant skelle's that were blue to be and an unlucky root break right when I broke charm led to a late night corpse run [You must be logged in to view images.

I'll shoot you a /tell when I log in today. I've seen you in the EC tunnel and you've even given me a hit of crack or two. Thanks!

Camp the ring yourself.
Buy WR bags.

Luminious - I was told that the ring is camped 24/7 and unless I'm willing to sit there for a few hours holding my spot in line or hire a tracker to help me that my only option would be to buy it in EC. Is there a way other than what's on the wiki to get one?

Yeah, my weak ass elf STR has been an issue with looting things to sell. I've got one handmade backpack (I don't think the 10% WR is worth the additional weight of the bag) and a Forager's Bag with Medicine bags rounding out the rest of my slots. Is there anything else you think I should be targeting to buy in EC? Are there level attainable camps or quests for others I'm missing? How does one get one of the bags that reduce coin weight?

THANKS EVERYONE FOR ALL THE HELP! I promise to pay it forward once I'm back in the game.
