[QUOTE="Neo, post: 1875345, member: 4139"] nevertheless soul gems both empty and full... are random loot and turn up from time to time when you kill things.. I found one empty and one full tonight my companion another two full.. so they're not verly rare. filling an empty one can be done by killing a good NPc (something I did to test it).. Soul Stopnes cannot be used until at least 8th level however but magical forges to use them at are as rare as dodo droppings..havent come across one yet (except when exploring the purchasable stronghold for 20+ level characters, which all come with a magical forge)..so that likely needs addressing at some point...as you really begin to hurt past level 6 without "some" magical gear...and you also begin spawning monsters like Rakasha that need certain magical weapons to hurt them. The rest of the random treasure is I admit fairly poor..non magic weapons, armour, occasional scroll or potion but mostly just gems..and general faffage. I managed to earn level 7 tonight and not without dying a fair few times the encounter system is fairly erratic one minute your fighting goblins..the next an abyss demon or devil turns up that cant be hit and drops you with a single blow... you just have to know when to run and when not to.. and monsters on Chainmail are persistent bu**ers they will chase you across transition points and over hill and mountain...even sometimes when you think you've lost them and its safe to rest..ta da over the crest of the hill they come. We even had an incident with one of the epic players meeting an adamantine golem fleeing to town and it following him through the portal and begin laying waste to most of the guards and shopkeepers in shoreline ... lol (though i suspect that was probably a transition glitch as they shouldnt be able to use portals).
