That's what i am doing now with mage, currently cleaned most of Verona/Montera lvl 29 on middle of day 5 - but with so many boat trips ahead i don't think i could do it in 7 - what is irritating is that i can 'almost' kill the hag in the castle for my wings - 'almost' - but not quite and i have to leave here now... pity. I don't know how people do it in 7 days when you consider all the go here talk to this person return to island B talk, go back to the original island quests.. I think for Crossworlds 8 or 9 days is more realistic (including orcs quest).

What can I say, my Mage is just very smart.

Wait, that is with Depth of Intellect Wanderer Scroll!

Actually, the funny thing is, I got it purely by luck. I NEVER intended that save game to be my ultimate "intellect" build. It was for 100% critical Demons. That single saved game has been able to net me quite a few fun games since I can replay it with a different bias.

It just happened to have Belt of the Victor, Archmage Staff, Two Dress of the Magess....

I think I just pulled off a minor miracle. I just finished Bolo, completely, on the first visit (debir-scarlet-bolo).

The only way this could happen, is because I found the +2 attack, +2 Defense gloves, since it let me do the arena fight against Yakivik. Also, I DUG UP a Target scroll that let me defeat the robot (Magic shield + target +stoneskin on Cyclopses barely lasted all the way to the end of the fight to keep his 200ish repair droids from massacre-ing me).

Was quite an endeavor I must say. I used 1 (later 2) cyclopses, Engineers, repair droids, 4 archmages, and 1 runemage.

I have to admit the Runemage is a little better than I gave it credit for the first time. The utility of a weak Summons + strong ressurect really keep things moving.

Arrived at Rusty with 3500 Leadership (Grand Strategy +1000). I should walk away from here with 2 Green Dragons, unless something goes horribly wrong. Since I've now got a pretty darn slick fighting force, I should be able to do all the non-hero fights here with ease.

I have never seen the Archmage Staff.

It is interesting that you can play this game for the umpeenth time and still find an artifact you have never seen before.

That's why i like playing random, you never know how handicapped or blessed your game is going to be by what is available in the shops. This time i am using a thorn army for the first time, i have blackthorne and plan to get Dryads, ancient ents - use Rune mages and archmages to go with my Royals.

Plan seems good until i get to Sheterra.
