Suppose you can't afford all 9 points of protection when you reach the temple, what do you do? Do you go on playing as a pacifist for as long as it takes, or do you switch to normal play after buying your first substantial chunk of protection? Ekaterin 15:42, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

If you have a pet, it isn't hard (but is usually time-consuming) to credit-clone and make up the cash you need. With an Archeologist, I have an easy time extorting the general store for all it's worth (no one else will accept my gems), which is usually enough for the +9. If you absolutely can't raise the funds, switch to normal play -- it's dangerous to stay at XL1 so long. Just my two cents. --Mogri 17:57, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
