loco Gold, land of chaos Gold

Levels 5 to 10: Now that you have reached level 5, it is time to go fight some monsters. I would familiarize yourself with the area and try to find some areas that have some easier mops such as land of chaos Gold goblins, kobolds, and orcs in Hidden Valley. It should be noted that Silent Caverns is not totally a newbie area.

The mops down in Silent Cavern are "pack-minded" like some of the mops on Talking Island or around Silver Knight Town. Hitting one type of creature will set most of the other creatures.

You will want a lot of these, probably around 70-100. You are probably thinking that this sounds really stupid, but here is the point. If you are not full lawful (32,767 alignment points) and you die, you will drop an item from your inventory.

By carrying so many letters, you will usually drop a letter rather than the important item you don't want to lose.

The Shadow Mask, this item has a high enchant level and is even used quite often by even some of the higher-level characters.

Note that this does not guarantee that you will drop one of the items you want; it just improves the statistics of you not dropping it.
