[QUOTE="Storminator, post: 803613, member: 305"] If you have a lot of spell casters, get them to cast the stat bump spells on you, and save your money. If you are lucky enough to have a druid, he can give you Magic Fang as well. For 2K, the Ring of Jumping is your best friend. You'll jump out of this world. Boots of Springing and Striding are OK, but you're already really fast.
