I set up this party of 4 x S.

The first thing I did was to collect all horseshoes (NS crater too) and did the wizard promo and cleric promo (repairing the temple). WIth some reloading I pulled it off at clvl 1 without dying. Harpies were a pain. But flying and a lot of running around did the trick. Then some basic NS quests. And pricefixing and ArchMage Promotion.

Got Master Water first. Master Id item, Master Merchant, Master Disarm - traps hurt more then in MM7.

I also did the NWC Dungeon trick and got myself 10,000 gp to start with and 4 x Inferno book!

Then some other basic low level quest and...Master Air + Meteor Shower and Starburst and at clvl 15 - 18 totally annihilating chaos hydras and Supreme Titans - TBCM works wanders with some good timing getting in it and out of it

And Master Learning befor it of course!

Hired Spell Master and Instructor - compromise between Teacher, Instructor and Mystic, Spell Master.

Then I set about multilooting supreme titans and chaos hydras. The area rolled with many SUpreme titans and chaos hydras which was nice.

The supreme titans gave me: guinevere, morgan, odin.

the rest of the monsters produced after about 3 hrs: - 2 x item of power (leather, ring) - 3 x ring of air - 4 items of fire (3 rings, one amulet) - 3 items of dark (1 amulet, 2 rings)

So all my S have each of dark, of fire and of air item plus one also of light from guinevere.

I completely disregarded earth.

Now its time to kill some dragons!

And do some serious gaming!
