*Updates* Hope you enjoy!
I have had a lot of fun starting from scratch. It's amazing how good it feels to be acquiring upgrades as you hunt. I happened upon a very nice Druid and Cleric who both blessed me with AC/HP/Regen/Speed boosts respectively.
Berserking level 5 Shadowknight.
- Still looking forward to finding friends and/or people who want to group.
- SK is a lot more fun to play without the 40% penalty.
- Smithing and Tailoring around level 15-20. Put 8 trainer points into each.
- Found 2 Cracked Staves and other misc. drops to sell from decaying skeletons.
- Purchased Large Bags (6 slot "backpacks" that weigh 1.0 instead of 3.5 for 2 less slots).
- Luckily, found a merchant with some medicine bags and bought one. (8 slot "backpack" weighs 0.4, have to deal with extra combine button.)
- Acquired an almost full suit of cloth from decaying skeletons.
- Acquired a Rusty Scythe (epic SK weapon) and Rusty Halberd (cool SK weapon). I sharpened the Halberd to an upgraded 11/55! WOW! (started 10/56).
- Trained Smithing by sharpening rusty weapons.
- Hunted wolves and bears after decaying skeletons to harvest their pelts. I purchased a small sewing kit (2 slots).
- Pelts generally weigh 3.5 and Patchwork Armor (ruined pelts) generally weighs 0.8 - 2.0 or so. I saved time on commute by stocking up on tailoring patterns, patterns for pieces that I needed to equip and others just to convert pelts into lighter components and to train Tailoring. I was combining on the hunting field and equipping the upgrades as I was successful. This was very rewarding because moving from cloth to patchwork you achieve the leather armor model.
- Look forward to moving onto Studded Armor (medium-quality pelts) once I can Smith studs and have enough MQ pelts.
Fun first night. Died once to a Shadowed Man in Nektulos while I was hunting Shadow Wolves. I got lost in Neriak for at least 30 minutes.

This is why I love the first few levels, so much to do, loads of huge upgrades to acquire in a variety of ways!
