Quote:All this being said, I still believe you should follow the advise of Nystul and others to play Normal/Hell for the time being. As weakwarrior describes, this is a great way of getting better equipment and as long as you feel yours is pathetic it's probably worth improving. Just keep in mind that you don't need Obsidian/Zodiac or King's Sword of Haste to make a good warrior. Try to keep your equipment expectations reasonable. The game will be more enjoyable if you're thrilled about finding a Jade Ring the Heavens, instead of being sad because it wasn't an Obs/Zod.This should be written above Tristram Cathedral entrance.
Well, in time, you will need sword with at least 80% ToHit. And haste sword as a magekiller aswell. But definatelly not right now.
If your warrior can wear stuff bought at Gris, I suggest to do Normal/Hell runs and shopping in the same time. In dungeon, you will find a lot of items. Sell them and try to shop a bit. The worse items on you, the bigger chance you will buy something useful. Spend your money and go for another run. Your gear will improve very fast this way.
BTW:
Dont forget about books, when youre seeking for the elixirs at Adria. Read as many Healing, FW, FB, CHL, SC, TLP book you can. As for the rest, at least one of a kind is highly resomended !
