First time For everything

[Faelivrin]

For me it's level 18! Hello I'm Faelivrin, I've been playing wyvern real poorly since 2005. I've had dozens of characters that never made it to level 10 and only a select few who made it to level 15+ but even fewer ever getting accepted into a guild.

Burn the nonbeliever he's not HoF! *chants*

I admit I was eaten in Biny maps more times than I can count. HOWEVER with age and dreaming about wyvern for years comes determination and maybe a little bit of game knowledge. I'm currently playing as a High Elf - Whipsman (*applause wow so original wow*)

I'm flat out terrible at this game. Earlier I reached the deepest I've ever been in an RD-- Floor 20. Hooray! Congrats! Here's your -- hewn by mercenary RIP. How about we just train over here by these...stonewind RIP.

I love how unforgiving this game is (Kiz w/o keyboard is madness) but I would like to know how to live! I should have picked up a stone giant and just bashed my way through the game, but no I wanted to try something new (to me).

I have no idea where I should be allotting my skills. I have no idea what makes a build viable to get to HoF...I am terribad. I sell strange rings in MaH for medium price bad. Take a look, let's see what you think. Maybe I'll get some good advice...maybe I bungle my way to oblivion.

I'd say play it safe, and if you find yourself dying a bit you might want to invest in some spirit travel, especially with the upcoming buffs that it's getting. If you can afford the skill points or gold to get some sneak gear, you might want to do that to help out with things like mercenaries. I don't think you need death magic that high, as well as air. I might take a few points away from those. I also cannot remember if you're completely immune to petri at 8 earth, but I'm fairly sure you should be. How did stonewind kill you?

Well since this post I'm level 24, and I have updated my skill tree quite a bit. I have level 13 earth and 90% Petri resist. I was 800k to HoF and over the course of one sunday afternoon I died to stonewind three times. I did not pray to RNGesus.

Stonewind shouldn't be able to kill you through 90% resist?

90% is just max, not immunity.
