If your character is good or neutral and was blessed with starting in Faydwer, doing the mail run from felwithe to kelethin in a straight line is faster than trying to outdamage your pet in melee. A necromancer killing guards in Felwithe will usually be cool about binding you inside, so once you get 4th and Gate + meditate, things speed up.
the down side is that your Defense skill will suck. The up side is that you'll have double or triple the cash you'll need for your spells. For 12th level.
