another vote for the keep.

I's the best stronghold in the game. the only problem I find with it is you have to wait a week for each event which is way too long I'm usually only 1/3 to 1/2 way through before I've got nothing left to do except go to spellhold


the golem is easy stand outside and throw melf's meteors 5 or 6 should be enough. and as for the lesser golems take them out 1 by 1 at your discresion the hardest one is the clay golem because he can be damaged only by blunt weapons. you can also buy that +3 bow in tradmeet after you save it at 4:00 am the name escapes me

probe53: Not to worry, most of the experienced players will ignore all the junk that is not enchanted anyway. It's just too much hassle to carry all of it to town and sell it to make a measly 200-300 coins extra. You won't be able to spend all the gold in the game anyway, trust me on this one.

anarchistica: It's a +1 Halberd that hits as a +3, and also does 1 fire damage. The helpful thing is that the Flind seems to outrange the IG's cloudkill. Sorry for getting mixed up in my previous post, i stand corrected

Oh yeah, it counts as 3+, that's what i meant.

It's actually Gas Cloud, not Cloudkill (my bad).

As far as i know, fire damage will only heal an Iron Golem. I might be wrong though.

If you wonder what AC, THAC0 and such an Iron Golem has, look here. The information there should be correct, though you should feel free to change it if it isn't (it's my very very W.I.P. pet project).

nope I can assure you fire damage will not heal an Iron Golem (quite the opposite in fact ). I usually do the keep before getting any kind of +3 weaponry hence my favorite tactic to deal with that nasty Iron golem is to have my mages stand outside the door and kill it with Melf's meteors. you just can't tank that beast at level 9 unfortunatly.
