Also make sure you have the points available and no + jewelery or
accessories. My Chivalry was slow until O removed the +10 brace and
it started soaring again.

Use a cleaver. Fastest "Swords" weapon around, most skill checks per
minute, and the combats last forever. Carry lots of bandages.

I GM'd on Skeletal Knights in the City of the Dead. 3 times, one
night, same character. @#$%^&*( timewarps.

Earth Elementals and Stone Harpies will do it. You just need to spend some
time with it. I gained swords on Stone harpies yesterday at the 110 level.
Also bone knights will do it.

OK, Read the above as "Alminair is an inattentive idiot!"
*Sigh* I had hit cap, with nothing set to go down. Never even considered
looking at it! *Sheesh!*
Thanks for the leveling info though, I will use it and hopefully.... GM!!

flowers, potions and following certain of the Virtues, namely Abstinence and

Don't know about that.... With my 70% in phis they were pounding me for 30hp
a hit. I think I'll stick to the black solen infiltrators I still die a
lot (Usually when I don't pay atention on WHEN to run) but with gems, Zoogis
and gold the price is right. Although since I went and killed me some
Deamons... no carma gains *Shucks*

Bottom of Despise is where I know them from. There's a spawn point in the
island in the middle of the large area, but it is usually camped pretty bad.
Most 'o the campers though are good about taking turns and helping you when
you get slaughtered. However, there is another OL spawn in the south part of
that large area. It's usually 1 OL surrounded by regular ogers. They take
more currage than I currently have, but good luck if'n your wanting to hunt
them!

DEspise lvl 3. There is an Island in the middle there, they usually spawn
3 and 3 there, the island is often camped. Then to the north and south
1 OL at the time spawns together with some Ogres.

if you are getting pounded by Solen, just imagine how pounded you will get
from OL.

I find that hunting Arctic Ogre Lords is much better, as they seem to have
slightly better loot and aren't as heavily camped. Also, if you have even
70% in magery they are a walk in the park after a couple of Blade Spirits
and the odd Flamestrike.

I guess they aren't camped, who the hell wants to sit around in
the SNOW waiting for one to appear??!

Eskimos?

Thinking about it, though, I completely forgot about the ratman mages and
ice eles that often turn up to mash your face through the floor.

My favourite hunting areas of late have been Coveteous (Stone Harpies and
Dread Spiders) and Wind, but neither are great for a warrior without at
least a bit of magery, if such a character still exists.
