Thanks for the kitty info, I appreciate it.
I heard the rats are in a smaller area, and since I have a minimum range issue, they're not nearly as good for me than it is for any other class, so I doubt I'd head there. I want to try this solid horn thing anyways. In the last 4 levels at Boar, I accumulated well over 1400 boar teeth, so if I keep that kind of pace up, that means lots of free exp.

It's weird, I bought my Lv 35 hat, and it looks really hot. But then I go and ruin it by wearing a Sauna robe (+8 Dex, 2 slots left) and the image of the awesome bowman is no more. Oh well, I find the robe more awesome because I've met 2 people who did F6 expressions at it.

Getting the Sabretooth almost makes me want to start a warrior. Almost.

Well, the important thing to remember about kitties is that they have 1100 hp. That's double the amount of the boars. So if you are taking 1-2 hits to kill a boar - you'll be looking at 2-4 hits for the kitties. I'll have to check hidden street, but I don't know if there are good sniping spots for bowmen - you are right about the rats - I did see a bowman whack them with his bow for a while...

Leveling at kitties or at rats is likely to slow you down slightly - unless you were 1 hitting boars more than I expect you would. The exchange quest rewards for the solid horns isn't much of significance though and the experience is piddly (500?).

The sauna robe is just so out there. I can't say I'll wear one to train in - I'll probably sell it when I get mine to let someone else boost it up. Personally though, I have no interest in it. I'm sure that dex bonus is nice though.

It's actually kinda funny to walk around in the wild boar land looking as if you're ready to either take a shower, or flash some unwitting newbie.

I can OHKO boars with ease now, I'll be moving to Fire boars in a level, I think. I still can't DS + Normal shot them effectively yet, but I think I will be able to next level. Gives me 3 levels to hunt for the glass shoe too, hopefully my drop luck is decent.

I itch to kill teddies someday. They look so darned cute.

Didn't realize you were that effective at Boars - then yeah - moving on up to kitties seems much easier to me now. If you manage to find the shoe early - it would definitely be a wise next step. The shoe is just too nice to pass up - getting a free scroll and all. Fire boars do have some archer equips though - so if you are missing your pole feather hat - you may want to stick there for a little while. Speaking of which - I found a red pole feather hat if you are interested in it. Isn't anything special (average wdef and +11 hp I think), but if you don't have one yet - you can have it for the NPC price.

Thanks for the offer, but I lucked out buying a Green one (+dex) when I was Lv 32 for 1k above the NPC price. I thought it was a steal anyways. I'll prolly wear it until I find it worthy to move up to Distinction. (Lv 40).

The Berets are so ugly though, I might hold off on those till the Polyfeather, if I ever reach that level.
