| Tricks and Tactics |
| The Bear eXPress. To gain XP rapidly. Kill all Bears you see. Memorize this layout in your head. Kaldor Castle woods to Timmy ladder going north and west between Kaldor Castle and Graagh. Just on the Northwest side of Kaldor Castle is a good spot for bears. Sweep the forest in a farming pattern. Unlimited Bear because of fast regen. Cobrahn Brown Bear. Fair amount of HP. Bears have ok skill. Bites 4-200+ damage. Poisons. 28K to 30K XP when killed. No treasure. No need to search. 32 Bears = 1 Meg XP. |
| Hally 2 Step! A way to carry less IH more loot. Collect a zoo and lead them into a small room. In a 2 x 2 box pattern, start this method. Hit, move, hit, move. Barb way to solo 30 crits and Barney in Thumperville even if he is small. |
| Max Grubbin' Develop a route in the areas you feel comfortable with. Run around and only kill the easy crits and scoop all the treasure you can find on the ground. Fill your sack even with the little gems and twig back and forth. This will raise cash in a hurry. |
| The Balance of Power: Skill Gain XP Gold Special Items Time (Real World Time to kill) Various areas in the game have monsters with varying amounts of the five things. Areas have abundance of some and little of others. Determine what is most important at the time. Like some people say "Good, Fast and Cheap. Pick 2." |

| The Nork -4 Lure aka Dragging the whole level. Start in the upper west side room and slowly drag the crits down the hallway to the East, then go South to the other East/West hallway and continue West to the end. You will be rammed and attacked the whole way. Wear good gear. Once at the end of the road, you should have a 30+ crit zoo. For a 60+ zoo, go around again through a hole in the wall to the South connecting the trip in a loop. Use a multi-attack when the zoo is really big for skill bonus. (Rumor has it that a 10+ kill gains a skill bonus) Sweep is good for MA skilling. Other goodies will be dropped by the crits. Barbs like breakables like hp helms, rings, mountain boots. |
| Cobrahn Barb Trick: Kill Wolves, Wolfbats and Bears. Take them to the Forest Tanner. Make into Armor and break each for bonus XP. |
| Extra Pocket Change: When farming an area and zooing the place up, pick up any object that will fit in your sack on the way there and back collecting the zoo. Then dump it all in one spot for Transmuting. You would be suprised what makes a lot of gold. Rings are a good source of the shiny GP. |
| Alerian Barb Trick: Get the Seldari Queen's Cup and trade it to Lady Ela for her Cup. Use the Cup to gain entrance to the Town of Hemlock aka "The TreeHouse" Buy all the ProtEnmiss Bracers you can and break them for you pay for them or better. GP for XP tradeoff. |
