Step 1) Start as a merc with the intentions of becoming a Sorc. Because only Sorcs are strong enough to rule the world.

Ok first off, donate alot of items to boost your luck. If you have 0 exp, everything gives a significant luck increase.

2) Get 24 Str / 24 Agi and raise sword evenly. (Keep the exp cost of sword/agi/str as close to possible. Sword will always be around 10 base higher than str/agi)

3) Max meditate (only cost about 3k exp)

4) 20 base Bless/Prot/Enhance/Curse

5) 30 base Resis

6) 15 base int/will/brave, 50 over base hp/mana/end (for ankh ammy)

7) 40 str / 40 agi (keeping sword exp cost as close as possible)

30 base Bless/Prot/Curse

9) Raise to 300 Mana

10) Get to crystal sword

11) 30 base Int/Will/Brave

12) 45 base Bless/Prot/Curse

13) Get to Titanium Sword

14) 45 base Int/Will/Brave

15) Max Bless/Prot/Curse

16) Raise to 300 HP

17) Max Int/Will/Brave

At this point, save ALL exp until you arch, because Conc/Med will be extremely important after you become a sorc.

After Arch:

1) Get to 60 med / 45 conc asap

2) 400 mana

3) 70 base Curse/Bless/Prot

4) 60 base conc

5) Get Curse 2 (and whatever other spell you want)

6) 45 base Curse2

7) 500 mana

80 base Curse/Bless

9) 75 base Prot

10) 90 base Curse/Bless

11) 60 base enhance

12) 60 base resis

From here, you can do anything, just make sure to stack curse and curse2 on everything. I haven't played v2 in MONTHS so my guide my be a little off, but thats the basic layout for you. Enjoy

You should be a captain or major with about 35-40 braveness, 30-35 willpower/intuition, 60 strength/agility, and 35-40 base spells. After you arch, raise sword. You should have 95 base sword by mid-major, since most seyans max their TH at major (90 TH) and you should always have more sword than their TH. Also, as soon as you get dual-wield, raise it until you can wield a steel sword in your left hand (LH).

You should be wearing a helmet and armor that adds sword, like weasel's sword or bear's sword. Wear a godly bear's sword set if possible.

Raise bless and braveness so that 5 points cost about as much exp as one sword point. For example, if bless takes 8000 exp to raise, your sword should take about 40k to raise. When you get 95 sword, bless should take about 20k to raise which is about 55 base. Raise enhance weapon and protection if you want to add 2 or 3 points to your weapon and armor value, and keep them equal.

Don't raise stun or curse because you can't curse 5 gargoyles past colonels, and you will lose focus a lot. You might as well save that exp for raising sword, strength, and agility. Raise surround hit and surround hit 2 to 40 base if you want it to hit gargoyles. Remember, type /su to activate surround hit 2.

After you get 95 base sword, raise strength and agility to 72. Now you can wear crystal armor and should be around mid colonel. Raise hitpoints to 400 and mana to 300. You can pent colonels on a duke, and maybe brigs. Max sword and raise strength to 90 so you can use the barbarian sword from lab 11, and afterwards raise dual wield until you can wield a gold sword in your LH. This will help kill faster in brigs. If brigs are a bit rough, raise spells some and raise hitpoints to 500.

If you want your surround hit/surround hit 2 to hit brigs, raise them to 60 base.

--------

After this raise agility to 90 for titanium armor, and raise resistance to around 100 base. You should be able to ice pent with an ice cloak and gpot. Raise immunity to 90-95 base then max resistance.


If you kill too slow for your preference, raise dual wield until you can hold a crystal sword in your LH. Otherwise, max braveness/willpower/intuition, and spells, including stun/curse. After resistance and immunity are maxed, max dual wield so you can wield a titanium sword in your LH.

With maxed braveness/willpower/inuition, spells, dual wield, resistance, and immunity, you should be able to pent underwater easily with a gpot and an ice cloak. Raise hitpoints to 700 and mana to 500. Thirty base swimming should be okay for underwater. Max strength and then agility now. Raise hitpoints to 999 and max mana. If you want you can keep HP at 989 since you will get 10 when you rank, saving about 40k exp. After this, max surround hit and surround II.

Now you're as strong as you can possibly get. Max whatever you want at this point, at this point I would be maxing swimming to stop the HP loss in UW pents.

The tower is located in the Strange Forrest and has 20 floors for you to negotiate the below guide will hopefully help you to make it toot he top alive

Tower one.

Most people get this wrong and say that the first level contains ghosts, they are wrong! The base of the tower is level 1, there is an Adventurer here that tells you about the ice gargoyles. You must say ishtar to get past of them.

Tower two

This level has ghosts, They are all SGM.

Tower three

This is a no magic area, but be careful there are death traps, keep to the west wall all the time, when you reach the end of the west wall follow it east and you will find the ladder, this is a safe route.

Tower four

SGM Ratlings, not to tough, depends on rank really. There's also a chest, containing armors/pots.

Tower five

About 6 SGM undead on this level.

Tower six

This is where the adventurers words come in hand, you will notice two ice gargoyles, run past them spamming "ishtar", they will not attack and you can get the key that's in the chest, this key opens the door to the ladder.

Tower seven

There are 4 Grolms on this floor, and 4 rooms, the 1st floor contains a 2nd lieu, the 2nd room contains a 1st lieu, 3rd room contains a captain and the fourth contains the ladder and a major Grolm.

Tower eight

There are 3 captain gargoyles on this level (maybe one major) and a couple of golems, one of the gargoyles carries a key so search the graves, this is the first level with a pole.

Tower nine

This level has no monsters, but is full of traps, not death traps. On entering the level keep to the middle to start off with. Once you have managed to get into the bigger section of the level walk slowly, it could be easy to die.

Tower ten

Very wise to spell up before going up here. There are gargoyle mages on this level and lizard mages. (colonel and lt col) beware of the fire, it can kill quickly! This is a straight forward killing level

Tower eleven

Sorcs and Haras beware! This level is hard for spell users, the gargoyle knights range from colonel to brig, their resistance, immunity and hp are all good. Countless people have died due to the death traps on this floor, so watch where your going.

Tower twelve

This level has no monsters or traps, just a door you have to get through, and this door is usually bugged so you can just walk right through (east). If it is not you will need to take the ratling eye from the chest, give this item to the ratling in one of the rooms. He will then give you an item to give to another monster, this will keep going on until you get a tower potion, give this to the tower guard and he will give you a key. Use it to get through.

Tower thirteen

Ratlings revenge! These Ratlings are major general, and fight with a crystal two hander. Be careful, do not walk right through to the ladder, there are two lines of death traps, go the very long way around.

Tower fourteen

Ice gargoyles to fight, they are lt gen/gen, be sure not to die because they get pretty strong when using peoples equipment.

Tower fifteen

This is the first of the death traps you need to go through, but the answer is always moon. Each space on the puzzle begins with a letter, simply follow the route that spells moon.

Tower sixteen

Your pretty safe for a while, open the door and then open the door that leads north, it appears to be a plain room with lots of shields on the wall, walk through the middle of the shields, now is a good time to spell up. Now go through the new door and you are in view of another trap, this is an easy one. Once past it your in a room with two doors, choose the door to the north. Inside are two ice gargoyles and a door. The door leads to a ladder. Use it to get to level 17.

Tower seventeen

As soon as you get up go north then east, there's an ice gargoyle standing there who holds a key. Now go back to the door and keep follow the doors until you reach a new ladder, use it.

Tower eighteen

The grid below is a plan of the floor and the yellow squares show safe route through. These  numbers  233454 will help you find way across.

Tower nineteen

This is a step up from the rest of the tower. You meet baron ice gargs, they are very strong. The first room has 1 ice gargoyle in. Once killed go through to the next door, you will see 2 ice gargoyles but only one will attack you, if you move out more the other one will attack. Once these two are dead, move on to the next two, it contains two ice gargoyles, try to fight one at a time by standing in the door. Now if you go through the next door you will notice there's another door in the room you enter, DO NOT enter it, its full of gargs, instead walk through the south wall, you will be greeted by one ice gargoyle and a door. Once the garg is dead take a while to rest and respell, if you can make a gc, make one, this will cause the ice gargoyles to waste their mana on it. Now, the spellers should hide in the wall on slow so that the gargs cant see them. Turn your fight back off to prevent you running onto the spikes. When you open the door 3 ice gargoyles will curse and stun you, once they are all dead, walk carefully around the spikes to the ladder, use it.

Tower twenty

A nice little area leading up to the final challenge. When in the room you will notice 5 monsters and a door, the monsters are a tower: seyan, arch hara, arch temp, sorcerer and warrior. The seyan carries the key needed to open the final door.

When you have opened that door you will come to a pole that gives up to 125k, and 3 portals.

North are the "Rings of Prophet" This ring raises spells +5 and +15 when activated

South are the "Fists of Heaven" These are a h2h weapon only useable by Seyan'Du and Templar (+10str/agil +15brave and 80wv)

East is the "Outsiders Eye" This amulet adds 100percep/sense magic/100mana
