Strategy
- Necromancers should dump their Quarterstaff as soon as they find any kind of Dagger or a Dwarvish mattock.
- You may want to abandon your Ghoul because it is slow. If you want to keep it, find a magic whistle so it can keep close to you.
- Increase your Skill in Dagger and Pick-axe first then increase your Spellcasting. The skill dart should not be increased in order to save skill slots.
