He Who Controls the Spice Controls the Universe

I'm still focusing on gaining experience for the steady climb to level 30. Sometimes I join up with groups, but lately I've been doing a lot of soloing in Valkrum Dunes. Grouping is fun, but it can take a while to get your party together. Solo play is more slow and steady, and it gives the added bonus that you can work on Fields of Valor training.

In most areas, there are these Field Training books with various pages, each with a different training regime. For example, you might need to defeat 5 worms and 3 hornets. If you succeed, you get an experience bonus, cash, and special tabs that can be used to gain temporary beneficial effects.

In the Dunes, I often slug it out with sheep like this one:















It may seem ridiculous to battle a sheep (even a Brutal Sheep like this one), but these guys can be surprisingly tough customers. They have a lot of health, they can headbutt you pretty hard, and they even have a special ability that can put you to sleep. Maybe by forcing you to count it?

  1. I can't wait for Maholm to go soloing in the dunes. Maybe I can be put to sleep by a sheep. Now that I'm level 12, I should be able to head that direction soon.
