17 Sham Having Trouble Leveling

[Lurgort/Sseri]

"I only have around 650p in the bank"

Buy Giant Scalemail Arms and 2x 5 AC/55 HP rings for armor or if you want weapons, skip on giant scalemail arms and buy a slime coated harpoon & springwood club + the 5 AC/55 HP rings.

Look for a port / buffs / invis from a druid to EJ, zone to FoB, then hit up Kurn's Tower until level 24, where you gain Canni, regen, better dots, more buffs, and a better cold nuke. Duo with a melee class, you'll fly through the levels: 150 ZEM for Kurn's Tower. If you haven't attacked a burynai, these should be dubious. If dubious, you can free-roam Kurn's Tower to kill undead.

Lesser Char/Icebones are still DB from 19-23, and majority green out at 24. You'll also have gained back half or so of your money in stacks of bonechips to sell and have a chance at a 1kpp wizard wand or Iksar Berserker Club and if the skeletal cook is up, turn a glowing skull in from greater scalebones or lesser ice/charbones for a necklace you can sell for 250pp.

I can't say enough good things about Kurn's Tower.
