Ah thanks both. Ive tried the res thing but no one gets ress nowadays lol. I only know one guy who's got the ress skill and he's never on. Ill do the hotan thing. BUt im pure str so it will take a while for the high lvl mobs to kill me.

it's personal choice of course but i think most people farm until they turn level 19 and then go and delevel back to 16 again. at 19 you would see the xp/sp gain drop big time if you are killing archers. deleveling everytime you hit lvl 17 will get very old i assume because you level so fast from 16 to 17. also incurring the teleport charge(minimal amount i know) and having to strip down so often and put stuff in your monkey/squirrel or storage would become quite the pain. lastly, it shouldnt take too long for them to kill you once you get outside the gates, you only get a small percent of hp back when you rez back to town.
