A long way still lies ahead. Will you survive? After the last quest(s), a new quest will be available for you, at least when you have met the restrictions. Rescuing the Druid Master can be done when you can enter the Druid Keep, and you'll need 330 Intelligence to do so. Fortunately, the enemies aren't incredibly tough. With the best armor, and Bedazzle at level 20, Magic Shield at Level 50 or preferably higher, you only need around 1400 Life, even less to withstand the maximum hits of Black Dragons. This will be a goal for now. So now let's prepare for some things. Bedazzle and Magic Shield are spells that you can learn in Yggdrasil, or otherwise known as Elven Village. The restriction on this village is still unknown, and if you don't meet the restriction, they will attack you on sight and inflict well around 5000 damage. That's not what you want. I gave you the advice earlier on to NOT kill more than about 5 elfs or so. We do have a clue about how to get in. You need high Charisma, and low Elf Kills. So if you only have 5 kills, you will always get in. In fact, if you have less than 100 kills, you will get in. Where's this village located? It's in the Deep Dark Forest, all south until you can go west; a sign will show how many folks are killed already. Here is a map of the Elven Village. A great starter level for Bedazzle would be 20, and probably also the best you'll need it, unless you're going for time. Magic Shield has increased effectiveness the higher the level, so I would boost it to 50 for starter, and later on keep boosting it more. Save your money..for now, so don't go shopping yet. Time for some training in the Dungeon You have grown in strength, and after seriously training in the DDF, it's time to move on to the Dungeons. Experience is much better here, and the gold is considerably higher too. The food isn't bad at all either. Cash it on your bank, and when you get a few million gold, you might want to try entering the Dwarven Stronghold. It is in the mountain, and here is a map of it. The restriction is HIGH gold, LOW spells. With a few million you should be safe, probably with less gold you would be, but because this restriction is also unknown yet, it's best to have a little more. Besides, you want to buy some warez too, don't you? It should be noted that spells can't be used in the Stronghold. Something you'll want to buy is the Dwarven Bangle; It adds +40 Str,+40 Dex,+40 Con and +40 Chr, so it's much better than the Green Bracelet. It shouldn't cost too much either. The weapons here are crap, and the only other thing that's worth it is the Dwarven Helm, that has 24 Defense, and a 200 Str Bonus. But this one costs in the millions, so wait with buying it. Go back to the Dungeons training for money and exp, and when you got some decent money again (like a few million again) go buy yourself two green rings from the Elven Village. The next thing you'll want is one of those village armors, I know. But they are way too expensive to buy from those shops, and the restriction for sending them is 3600 WS. So get to that first. I advice to boost Dex most, and slightly Str and Con. While still fighting in the Dungeon(and 1rd'ing) you will make quite fast exp. Soon you will hit the conquerer rank, with the red color. That's at 3101. Anyway, when you have some good exp, visit Elven Village, and buy two Green Rings, and invest your exp in Magic Shield as much as you can. This will help a lot later on. What many people don't realize is that the only way to increase your defense against creatures is to boost Magic Shield, while you can boost your attack in many ways. So just raise it to a level like 100, or 150. Now you're ready for the Druid Keep. Bring a lot of food, then storm it. Don't forget to put up Bedazzle and Magic Shield first! Also, when any of the two runs out, re-cast it immediately. The first level is easy, beat the Keep Druids to death, then go to the second, quite harderlevel, full of Minotaurs. They hit hard, and got tough armor, but you should be a match for them. The third level is the home of the White Dragons. They occasionally drop Dragon Ribs, a good healing food. The last level is where the Black Dragons live. They hit the hardest of all out of the keep, which is like 1400 at max. Hopefully you have enough food to survive it to the end..and save the Druid Master. He rewards you with a gift, and what a gift that is, a whopping 300 mil exp. You know what to do with that, now don't you? I would spend most of it on Dex and Chr, so that you can fight better creatures soon, and buy Village armor. Should this boost give you 3600 WS or more, then you can ask for Village armor in chat. If not, train some more in the Dungeons to get the exp (and spend it on Chr), then buy Village Armor from the Trader. A new goal arises.. When you have beaten the Druid Keep, and you think you're too strong for the Dungeons, you can try to get to 1rd'ing Reapers, east of the dungeons. This could take s bit, but the exp is reasonably high. Many others try to train on Druid Keeps by 2 Rounding them, and still getting good exp. You can use Bedazzle and Magic Shield for this training. You should see for yourself what you like the best, and what is the most rewarding for you. Boost Dex regularly, and Chr for those pricey, pricey Village Armor Pieces. Eventually you'll get sick of Reapers and Druid Keeps, and hopefully you're close to 2 Rounding White Dragons at that moment. White Dragons give much better exp, and the food they drop heals a lot so it's a good training place. At this time, you should focus on Str and Con mainly, because White Dragons and Black Dragons have really low armor, these are effective in lowering it even more, giving you more attack power. If you have bought all the Village Armor in the meantime, you can forget about Chr. Forever. Damn right. And I mean it. If you train good, you will get loads of gold in your bank and you won't do anything with it unless you help people which is in turn really easy with loads of gold. So forget about it. Later on you can get Rings that boost 500 Chr each, that's a whopping 1000 Chr. Trust me- Your money problems are over for now. When you get enough Life for the next quest, like 2500 or so, you can attempt to beat the Arch Angel in the Sky Castle. Check the Quests Page for very detailed info on that quest. He's rather easy with Bedazzle and Magic Shield. The reward is 700 Mil Exp, which can boost you a HUGE amount of Dex, hopefully almost 1rd'ing White Dragons then. When you do 1rd Whites, it's gonna be a while before you should jump to Black Dragons. Those are ONLY worth it if you 1rd them. Seriously. Besides, there's no hurry getting to those...you'll be stuck with them for 50k+ Kills. And that, my friend, is where the Elite are cut off from the Vets.. When you get to Black Dragons, many think it's a nightmare. I never found it a nightmare, because I just went trough it really fast. Actually, if you prepare two good Weekends, and play the rest of the week one or two hours there, without chatting (fun comes later, work comes first!) you're outta there. And you WANT that, am I right? You can get as much as 15k kills on a good non-lag day, and if you need about 60k then you have to train 4 days like that and you're done. Of course you can try to 2-round other creatures like the ones in the Sky Castle or the Plains, but that is another section...
