Is it me or?

At low levels of magic, you might be better off just farming mobs that you can do one-shot kills on.. the individual xp may absolutely suck, but think of it in terms of xp-per-spell-cast, and 700 xp for a capryni may just be faster xp than 2100 for a kipee that takes 5 shots to kill..

but most important... GET DECENT AMPS !!

I'm with Iwojimmy. The sweet spot for soloing is somewhere between 700 and 1200 XP at some point with the right baddies you can do better than that. But likely this is where you are at solo.

Try to identify what animals resist what spells most and use something else, General rule is furry = use acid shell like = use cold. Those are just general rules though.

Raising your HP pool by using hp bonus enhanced Armour and Jewels, or by melee or harvest, is also advisable.

If you haven't definitly get some health bonus jewelry. A full set off it adds alot of health and should help you at least a bit.

just an update, many thanks to all of you that commented, I have upgraded some jewellry with extra health (now nearly 800) and after modding my nuke spells to have a pull, mid range and close options am fareing a lot better.

There is a lot more experimentation to come but things are definetly improved. This has been a handy lesson in underestimating the game mechanics, paticularly editing your own actions with regards to spells.

Once again thanks all and one day i hope I can return your advice and kindness.

I am not much of a spell chucker but at low lvls I found "root", "nuke", "nuke" and repeat, worked quite well.
