That doesn’t change anything though. A character lasting 5 hours for 1 day is no different than a character lasting 5 hours over the course of 3 days.
@Lolwutusay I really recommend changing your class to either a ranged class or a knight. Also, just play less recklessly. It may just be me, but i notice i die less on unmaxed chars, and that’s because i’m playing the game safe and trying to take as little risk as possible. Know risk vs reward, its not a good idea to do Tombs Shatts or Halls before you have a good stock of pots/ another maxed char. The easiest way to get def from nothing, is farm on a wizard. Go into to godlands, kill gods and look for easy dungeons. After about 1 day you should have a good supply of pots, which you can sell for def. Good luck!
