Yes you should. It will be well worth it in the end though, as you will have pretty good combat stats+the ability to use my guide at its full potential.
Ok, thanks for your post. I did put a link in my post to the tip.it barrows page, where it tells you all of the sidesteps. I might post all of them in my guide.
I wouldn't want to waste money on def pots, plus my def is more than enough. Anyways, I just started using the excalibur spec, and its working nicely, so I will include that in my guide a bit later.
Luring won't stop, just like scamming will never stop. People will always want to make money fast and easily, and luring and scamming are some pretty good ways...(no, I'm not saying that scamming or luring is good)
I really don't suggest using magic on Karil, waste of runes in my opinion. I find it faster to kill him if I just bring a regular att pot, and melee him with my whip, works quit well. Alright guide I suppose, it needs more explanations maybe, and some more images wouldn't hurt.
