levelling diggers
title really speaks for itself but just wondering. as diggers xp rate is fairly slow and tehy generally arent tough enough to kill a lot of creatures, is levelling them just a hard slog we al must do or are there certain tips etc...that make ita bit quicker.

for example for my low level atm i am onmly killing elementals as they're quick xp and i know i can kill them as long as he's got enough mana. they're an little boost a time :)

any others?
basically you just have to deal with it, but at least youre making a boatload of money. it does help to have magic skill, and you will be able to kill more than elementals if you develop it at all, but it will take you forever. some more senior players might have something to add to this...
well diggers main purpose is making money not fighting monsters
if you want to make a lot of money make a pure digger but if you want to fight monsters you can make a mage/digger
this way you ll be able to fight monsters and dig but to dig up realy good stuff like centros or hyperiums you ll need a lot of luck and if you want that to happen sooner  a pure digger is the solution
personaly i like my digger cause the time he uses for lvl-in he compensates in  cash!fine with me:p lol
so there up to you to decide..you have the liberty to make up to 4 chars so make them good enough to fight monsters and then you wont have to worry about ur digger bein slow at lvl-in n you ll just enjoy the cash he makes!
lol hope this helps you:p

good thoughts there. he has got a bit of mag atm but tht will stop once i get enough luck to get the good stuff. its not so much i want to be able to fight all the time i just wanted to know if you used any tricks to get him to a luck level where he was diging up the top 3, or did you pure all the way?

heres a few ways to lv faster...

1) like it was said kill monsters.
2) i found doing alot of missions helped me lv alot quicker.
3) fight in the arena... diggers do good there with 1 quick ;)
4) buy a boat and steal nails/dig/build on ta
5)kill on ta when your lv 30

think thats all

how many missions can your digger do though? with the majority of points in luck it would seem i could only actually do a few of them
well u could make it into a pure digger or a mage/digger...
from my WIDE experience in these matters:p
not braggin here but have a look at my diggers stats sometime:plol
anyways yes lvling a digger takes ages but it brings u loads of money$$$hehe
-yd:D
In my opinion, the best way to build a fighter/digger is to use dex & weapons, not IQ & magic.  A level 20 digger only needs a dex of 13 to have level 20 ranged and S/S skills (13 * 1.5 = 19.5... it rounds up making 20 your maximum with 13 dex).  Combine this with the decent number of hit points earned due to your high luck score (which will be 86 at level 20 with 26 missions completed) and you'll be able to kill almost all monsters you meet on God-mode... which is commonly believed to be the quickest way to level-up with a non-building character.

With that said, I'm not sure this fighter/digger combination is the best idea.  I have created my two diggers ("Prospector" and "Prospector Jr") using this model (see the Luck toplist for their full stats), and while they are very effective at what they do, I now regret I didn't pour EVERYTHING into luck (see "Salazor" and "Bruxas" on that same toplist).  I don't care if my diggers can fight anymore... because they don't.  Their highly imbalanced luck scores make them really good at one thing... making major amounts of silver by digging... so why use them for anything else?  Not being able to fight well means they're having a harder time completing missions for those bonus attribute point mushrooms, but if I'm not mistaken they'll eventually be able to complete ALL the missions as their levels go higher and higher because eventually the monsters won't be able to touch them due to their high level.

Anyway, my opinion backs up what other wise plays have already said: use your other 3 characters slots to satisfy your desire need to fight and to level-up quickly.  Make the best diggers you can make, and it'll pay off in the long run.

aw sandy tnx for calling me wise:):D

jess;)
well must be said thank you very much sandy. that model is very informative it must be said. the luck factor seems very good too :) just pour everything into it using that model eh?

i'm particulary interested at the fact that when you reach a certain level some monsters cant hit you part. do you have stats for this or is it just something that has been sussed out over time?

thanks all for all the help :)
Well like Sandy said, he now regrets investing into dexterity instead of all into luck. The model is his outline based on the fighter/digger combo used, so if you would like lots of cash then investing in luck is all you need. By comparision to the model, my diggers completed mission 33 at lvl 28, which is 3 lvls after Sandy's. Since luck helps in many aspects of the game, it helps you hit monsters with 2 weapon skill where non-diggers would miss or barely hit.

> i'm particulary interested at the fact that when you reach a certain level some monsters cant hit you part. do you have stats for this or is it just something that has been sussed out over time?

This of course has to do with your increasing level resulting in higher protection and higher damage you inflict with new equipment. With pure diggers however dont expect to kill most monsters until your level is above theirs. But over time like Sandy said, they would be able to complete all missions as they lvl high enough.
