yeah i know about the defence reward. i know that later on i will want the defence levels. so i will just not finish the quest by talking to Daiero(is that how you spell the guy's name) until i want exp. I just find the acomplishment of doing MM as a pure low lvl is amazing, but i got no idea how!! Thanks for the advice, ill def try getting a friend to help me, and get some sara brews while im at it =p the boss fight will be easy peasy for me, ill let gnomes do work with occasional help from me =p and then pown it at the end hehe. thats the easy part! any other advice is helpful, but i think im set for the time being!
