I've also been able to "burn in" a mule when I was out to dinner by the weighted keyboard shift-attack method (fortunately the durability of the Khalim's Will I was swinging was not adversely affected ;) ).
I was able to burn in mules for 2 hours without movement by hanigng out in another player's long exp game.
Got a drop of a Snoutnail today. That's a keeper for a rusher, as it allows +10 thorns damage 1h to be combined with +24 thorns (3 flawed skulls) in a shield at a clvl req of only 5. Doing 34+ thorns damage on a necro with bone armor up, running through crowds (to give them auto-hit) is one of the very fast early "great race" leveling tricks, for sure. Sadly I've already cubed up my 3 flawed skulls to a regular, so my remaining flawed and chipped skull need some company before I implement this "cunning plan that can not fail".
A bit of shopping advice for sorc/necro staff/wand acquisition by shopping: clvl 11 shopping at Akara is nice because the clvl 12 req stuff you want to buy is tinted red, making your shop scan much faster. (ditto principle for other levels and for Drognan). I've picked up a plain (and thus 2 socketable by Larzuk for Leaf) +3 fireball short staff quite easily this way, for, iirc, less than 40k.
