novice GrFE advice
Hello,
I'm looking for some advice related to my first "good" start as a GrFE.
Regarding Items, i've read that I should look for mace/staves, but I had the chance to find a wonderfull +5 dagger of draining.
Should I use it ? Should I use it and train dagger ? Should I use a random Mace/Stave and train to be ready if/when I find a good one ?
I found a good +4 holy wrath falchion should I keep it and use it when I'm facing an unholy monster or should I not bother because if it's a dangerous monster, I'll be blasting him with spells anyway
Regarding spells, I found several books, with as interresting spells :
-Mephitic Cloud
-Blink
-Repel Missile
-Bolt of Fire
-Dragon Form
I'm thinking of take Blind/Repel Missile/Mephitic cloud, should I ? If yes, should I train their related abilities ? I have a staff of wizardry that I'm using atm (when I don't want to take the risk killing an ennemy with my dagger) so the fail rate are around 4-7%, is it worth it to take 2-3 lvl in Air/Translocation in order to go down to 1-3% ?
Should I plan on taking Dragon form for later ? In that case should I take it realatively early to start training Transmutation or should I just farm Transmutation once I'm ready to really invest in dragon form ?
Regarding the shops :
an amazing shop is selling me a amulet of gourmand and an artefact ring Wiz rC+ rN+ for 390 and 626 gold, is there a way to "farm" gold ? I read that the mines gives quite a lot of gold, is it a good idea to start doing lvl 1-2 Mine to buy my items before doing Lair ?
I couldn't find a way to sells items, is it possible at all (restricted to a certain type of item maybe) ?
