5 hunts down...
Not buying armor yet, as I think Phon coast is pretty close, but I did pick up ninja gear and thief hat. Probably going to be killing thru the feywood to get a little cash, then off to the south of it. Level 40-43 now... my B team is being used more than my A team... guess thats bad.

Some of the hunts are amusing, but Firaga doesn't seem as strong as Id hoped. Or maybe the monsters were just resistant. Shield wyrms are fun to kill and so many in that region... Two of the hunts are in a place I walked into and got almost killed in 5 seconds though.. necrohol of Nabunis(sp?).. I walked in there on my way to the coast during the game, and well... it wasn't pretty getting hit for 900~ with protect on... 4 of them hasted, and fran made it to the exit with 250 life.

Lindwyrm was an endurance fight.. very powerful, but not altogether overwealming.. Restore is annoying. Darksteel was a pushover.. I'm not sure what I did wrong, I thought he was supposed to be strong, but the highest he hit me for was 200 with protect, and he died very quickly. Overseer went down fast as well, but his damage output is insane... tore threw that little guy and he was dead when the overseer was at like 90%... The viera dragon monster wasn't too bad.. not sure what to do with the dragon scale though. (SPOILER)Belito was rather rough til slow landed on the headhunter, and I started killing the others.. their damage output when all four are there is pretty hefty. So now I'm a high guardian, and the only hunts left are ancient man of mystery, the deathscythe, and a golem both in necrohol... and I doubt I can take the man of mystery... from what he sounds like.

Hmm.. to explore or to the feywood...
