Well that's what I'm guessing. I havent done that in the two games I've played. Will defo try next game though.

Ok i did like you said: started a new character, entered the dungeons and saved my game. Then i spoke with the mentor and said i didn't want to do the training, so he dismiss me and gives me the crappy sword. I exit the dungeons, enter the first castle (with King Darion and princess Amelie) and check stuff, then the other little castle a couple feet on the left (with the priests). Then i reload and...i end up always with exactly the same scrolls/items, game after game, again and again. No randomness involved.
What gives?

<EDIT>
Well, no big deal, actually. The thing that DID work was to start a new char from scratch every time, select class, name etc etc. then, upon exiting the dungeons the items/scrolls ARE randomized
Now i need a thread about good items and good spells.

Ok, ok, let's face it: i am a newb, and i dunno jack about the game: i have no idea which spells (and how!) to use, which monsters to get and how to use any given monster
Hm, probably, the best thing to do in my position is just to put the pedal on the metal and go rampaging exploring and fightig stuff around until i get the hang of the game mechanics Only THEN will we talk about superior tactics again
