Hi there,

Actually, I'm playing a human/ranger, lv29, 2050ft. In most circumstances he
DOES do very well (D's beware!). One problem. Each L, G, V, W drains his xp so
FAST, that his one-and-only possibility is to warp away - FASTer. It happens
but one in hundred times that the temple has Restore Life Levels on stock, so
I'm bound to take the great danger of 50ft for hours ;-) .

Tell me, is there any workaround to this? Are there any "sustain xp"-ego's
around? Should my poor little guy avoid those deep areas? But then it'd get
boooring...

For that you know it:
