One quest had me fighting three kinds of Delfias Brotherhood enemies in the Dagger foothills. That was actually pretty easy. I owe my success to better utilization of the sunder armor spell. I'll usually check my "friends" list to see if anyone I've previously adventured with is online. If I know I'm going to be playing for more than 30 minutes, I'll text them and see if they "need any help". On one occasion, a friend responded with "yes" and sent a group invitation, but a check of the map revealed that he was clear across Duskwood. The shortest path seemed to be one that I hadn't yet taken, a long run across a high-level area. There seemed to be a safe road going across, however, so I decided to give it a try. The first 200 steps were easy, but my pitiful progress on the main map showed what a long haul this was going to be. Soon, I ran into a spider. I died without hardly hitting him. My ghost popped up at the creepiest graveyard ever, which, once I recovered my body, put me back to where the spider was, which killed me again. This sucked. My far-off teammate wasn't texting "where are you?" but I was sure that is what he was thinking. After about 20 minutes of running to his aid, he disbanded! Dammit! I was mad at him for "disowning me" when I was risking life and limb to get to him quickly. The next day I realized that he probably hadn't even realized I was on my way. I was on a different map from him, and he was probably just concious of me taking half of his experience points, and treasures even though I was no where around. I turned around and went back to Westfall. I was actually growing bored with Westfall, so I ran to the coast to gather enough Murlock eyes to finish the Westfall stew quest. I wanted to find a new hunting ground. I found myself pretty darn close to the Gold Cliffs mine, a place which had beaten me in the past, even when I had been teamed with another player (Llan). I decided to try it again. This time I had better luck. I was right at the edge of my abilities, but I was able to draw fights with just one enemy at a time. It was possible! Surprisingly little inside. No king monster and no big treasure. I did find an odd flower - the Mageroyal. I have no idea what that is used for. My quest ledger was remarkably clean... only one or two remained, and one directed me to Redridge mountains, so I was on my way. Redridge was WAY over on the other side of the map, so I ran over, got killed by a gang of pig-men, and logged off.
