need advice on startin up.

[Diallo]

Where you train your mage is great. as for knight, That depends. For brandish though, get a firelance (If you can, i'll probalby let you borrow mine) Then go in niff2 with yellow~white potions, Good loot and AMAZING exp, probably good to go at level 80, though.
As for what huntress said about fish, You'll want to fish on your merchant. Trust me, i've fished on my crusader and i'm not nearly as happy with it then with my merch, (Reborned Crusader, so pally doesn't have that much weight due to MR build)

But enough about that, If i have any spare money / equips i'll let you know, I'm geared for swordie classes, Attempteing to gear up a hunter, but yeah, that's just me. But honestly, leveling your mage in GH might be annoying, because you have to walk there, and get a save point, and really, really smart. When i started out, i got lucky and got helped a lot, you have a plan though, and i can see this plan working out VERY nicely.

well, If you do wanna know more, just ask me in game.
Main character IS Kaz. But i'm usually on Stuntbum (My hunter) If i'm not bioing / PvPing. (Merchant is OC/DC Slave if i'm fishing)


Best of luck to you. ^_^;;
