LAST EDITED ON Mar-02-03 AT 08:03 PM (Pacific)Wiz8 is a totally Non-linear game. if you can't seem to get by a certain area now, come back later, after you have built up your skills, and maybe a level or 2.
or, go back to Burz, pherhaps he can give you some insight.
It's also a good place to camp. as having Burz fight, certainly helps your odds, should you have some unwelcome visitors.
as for how to use attribute points, many concentrate on 2 or 3 stats, to quicklier gain the Expert skills. for a Faerie Ninja, more attacks is good, so Speed and Dexterity are usually built up first. also helps since speed 80 = AC+1, and Spd=90 = +2AC
weapons - since you will obtain an awesome weapon, and a good sidekick, work on Dual Weapons and Staff and Wand
I think, for now, concentrate on Martial Arts, since it requires no Dual Weapons. This will build up Close Combat for later, and is a good weapon set, improving themselves with use.
later, you can equip a Faerie Stick or 2, and work on Dual Wield and Staff&Wand, as the powerful CoC, may kill them too fast.
