In MM7, I usually have at lest 1 Knight (sometimes more) in the party so must use it for his second promo. So before I train even 1 level I do the 5 knight battles in the arena at level 1 . . dragonflies and rats only.

It's "wimpy" as I said but I would rather not take the chance of being slaughtered because my dead party=game over rule is still in effect and I am very careful where and when I fight monsters.

Another "wimpy " thing I do in Rev1 and Rev2 is for the Wonka Quest I join the "Book Shop" in the Sorcerer's Guild and get at least 2 (sometimes 3) LB scrolls. I then go into the Barrows, do the Wonka, Lantern of Light, and Monk Initiate Quests, LB out and don't go back in there until I'm super strong.

Let's face it, I'm a wimp!!
