Increase the difficulty setting and try to do as many Random Encounters as you can. You should be able to level up several times a day just by doing that.

imgur.com/PjzHYu2 Increase Wis, the more Wis you have the more Cures you can use before running out of mana. That way you also get more regeneration from draughts and potions as well. Agility isn't completely useless - when its PAB cost is cheap compared to your other ones, you might as well increase it. You can raise it at least until it costs 1/6 of your important stats (Str, Dex, End). All that said, equipment and fighting style is generally a whole lot more important than PABs. You may wish to use a 2h weapon instead, until you get to level 140 or so; Domino Strike allows for much faster clears, and you don't need the defense or focused damage provided by DW.

Regarding stats, since you use light armor, you can raise AGI to the level of STR/DEX/END. Some WIS is recommended, for magical mitigation, resist, and MPs. I've sent you a (bad) waki of nimble, check your MM. Don't hesitate to raise the difficulty if you feel at ease with the current one for higher exp gain. Clear arenas, fight random encounters. You can use scripts to help you out. Check out my sig for Reloader (requires Firefox + Greasemonkey), which you will probably find incredibly useful, and use RE Notification to track the time to the next RE. More scripts on the wiki.

Depends on how much more stamina you would expect to use daily if you got LGBD, but if it's anything significant (5 or more), LGBD is almost certainly much better, especially for Imperil mage (for which DD would only increase clear speed during 1/3 or 1/4th of your turns).

I'll unlock both eventually. I just want to know which one I should go for 1st.

10% damage perk is good as stable boost. I can play any style and have it. 3+2 no imperil or 4+1 imperil fire mage, i can switch to any other mage style or even 1h and it still works. Absolutely in any conditions. The only problem its usually only 2,5-6% clearspeed depending on style and 12m for that isnt very good. And if set/lvl isnt very high and specially with imperil then its much closer to 2,5% which is a bit useless. It works much better with no imperil style when 30% damage perk gives ~20% clearspeed. Its huge extra damage which is possibly only with perk.
Double stamina actually quite pretty perk. If you use it everyday then even with old 35-40k prices its better than many trainings. And with current 70k its not even halfyear to payback. But its probably useless for me, because i use ed extremely rare.

I'm at level 70 right now and my gear set up is all light armor with sword/shield. I've noticed that my interference is still pretty high at 69.8 costing me about 140% percent for magic abilities. Is it possible for me to lower my interference and burden a bit without allot of credits? Most of the gear at the shop that seems like it would help is also much higher level then I am.

Sounds about right. Don't worry too much about interference - although it's a negative stat, your other options are either too expensive or sacrifice too much in terms of other stats. (Buckler of Barrier: Expensive, hard to find at low levels. Cloth armor: destroys your defense, and hurts your offense. Wakizashi: Kills your attack power. Ethereal: Near impossible to find at your level.) Also, I would think that constant mana draughts would be enough, or nearly enough, to balance mana spending at your level, which should be as good a situation as you should hope for.

If you stick to light armor, the best one for that is the shade of the arcanist. You should be able to find some cheap exquisite/magnificent pieces quite easily...

Thanks, one more question. Should I worry about making a monster in the lab at this point or just hold on until I reach a higher level? I'm not a 100% sure what they do anyway.

I doubt it, most unassigned ones are gone by now, and the ones that do exist are almost all at least level 200 (or currently in an equipment set of an AFK noob). I thought...? Also, I'm doubtful shade is a good idea regardless for anyone low, given 0 piercing mitigation. Better to put up with a few more cheap consumables than to significantly increase damage taken (and lose a good suffix). QUOTE(AXagent @ Dec 11 2015, 22:47)  Thanks, one more question.

If you do make a monster, only raise it to PL 25 or so. PL 1000 monsters cost thousands of times as much and only give a bit more profit.

Is it really worth shrining Saplings? I've noticed that the equipment I usually get is typically only worth a quarter of the selling price of the Sapling itself. That said, I do occasionally get gear worth more but it is rare, even some Magnificent level gear but I tend to get better equipment from random drops.

lol no. Although it's a bit outdated now you should check out the link in my sig. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

You can soulfuse whenever you have enough fragments and have an equip that's rare enough or key enough to remain part of your set for a long time. The only thing that would probably qualify for that is a prefixed Exquisite+ Rapier of Slaughter, or Power Slaughter or Power Protection once you get to level 250+. But you're likely not going to find anything good or have the funds to buy something worth soulfusing for quite a while - unless you get quite lucky, just stocking fragments is probably best.

So I'm level 194, mostly 1H or DW, and grinding has become a pain to do. How should I go about grinding for the levels?
