1st tier.
Book Local Undead Troll Barbarian. Took long stride. AND WOW. 36 str 31 to. 1380xp to level up from 1 to 2. I rushed to big room and got there at about 800 turns. Had to use a prayer to get away from 1 health from that darksage I ignored. The only herbs there were were antidotes, so I wasted a prayer and just left. First arena fight at about 1600. I went true berserk the whole time, as my armor only gave 2 PV. Got Sparkidius. I decided to use the gladius for defense reasons.
