I've started a game with a single goblin knight and I'll keep him at first level to make the game more challenging. I have to admit that i multi-looted the fragon on EI until i found the arifact plate armor.
I recently completed the haunted mansion and I must recommend you to try this without torch light and wizard's eye.I have a few questions about character development:
1. Since my knight's only source of skill points is genie lamps (I'll have to wait to October) and challenges, I was wondering if anyone knows how many genie lamps you may find during the game (Deyja, Bracada, Evenmorn, Land of Giants?, Nighon?).
2. Which skills would you recommend me to improve? Armsmaster seems like an obvious choice
3. Which NPC's would you hire? I've currently got an instuctor (for ID, though I'm likely to hire somenone else) and a cartographer (wizards eye). I won't need a gatemaster because I'll have to wait until october to get skill points from genie lamps.
I think I'll take the light path; beacoming Champion should be quite easy at level 1. The first time I fought only giant rats.
