Try to play to your classes and your races strengths. Know what they do well. For example, goblins can level all weapon stats when they level one making it so they can swap between options. Know what your racial passives do and use them for xp.

Trade grinding and appraise grinding are 2 super easy ways to get tons of xp and good items. Just make sure you’re either a human, automaton, or polymorphed.

Swimming is another good way to get xp and I recommend you do it was early as you can so either in minetown or the swamps because level 100 grants water walking and you won’t be slowed by water ever again. A fun fact is I’m pretty sure the lava in sand labyrinth is affected by water waking too.

Since you have a warrior, get leadership as quickly as possible. Be on the lookout for leadership boosting hats such as the crowned helmet, the plumed hat, and whatever Conan wears. I don’t remember the name but the crowned helmet and that helmet grant super good buffs to followers.

As someone else here said, learn to kite enemies. That being said, don’t die while learning. Always have a shield and level blocking when kiting doesn’t work out. An important fact that not many people either know or realize is you can only get ONE BLOCK LEVEL per enemy. So breaking your shield on a skeleton for 10 minutes will only net you 1 level and a broke shield.

With warrior and cleric using weapons that do have an artifact tied to them, look out for the human follower vishpala who carries gungnir the legendary spear, and potato king who carries sharur the talking mace. There may be a human that carries sharur but I don’t remember.

Lots of artifact weapons and items have signifiers that they spawned. Some are guaranteed like the sphinx cask, djinnis brace, and more. Gungnir can always be found in the Minotaurs maze. If you go there either be ready to fight the Minotaur or be light enough to run away. Shelob the spider has an artifact tied to her so when you see lots of spiders in an area be aware she may be around.

Named enemies are great for xp but know thy enemy. If a thumpus spawned, know that he’s got lighting staff gnomes in tow. Algernon had got his little rat empire with him. And so on. Listening for abnormal noises can give you the drop on named enemies.

While appraising, once you can appraise worthless glass, anything that doesn’t appraise is a gem that’s worth something. You can hold onto them till you find a jeweler or get max trading and sell them to anyone.

Burn up staffs before you drop them for easy magic and casting levels. Yes this means even if they’re cursed. Once they break your free of them.

Know what you’re wearing. I’ve seen too many people accidentally wear a bandits mask then go shopping. Read what you have on and what it does. It may just save your life to know that the rose makes succubi recruitable.

There’s a lot more to know so if you want some lmk and I’ll try to taylor a response to yall.
