AHA! You’ve barely started the game and you’re already equipping yourself with a guardian’s attire!
Or is it the Staff of Order? Why bother with the small stuff? Go straight for the Staff of Power! It’s perfect for the first level!
Don’t exaggerate my words so much. You’re being unfair. I’m willing to fight for a good artifact. Of course, not from the very first level. But when I know a couple of decent spells (that’s already level two, maybe three), I can confidently go for it. Because the longer you wait, the worse it will be in the end.
