Hunting area and weapon purchase.

2 handed warrior , Giantkin, about to hit level 11. I need a hunting area that can support my bank account, in order to finance my new weapon. I currently swing a Claid I found off a gobgoblin, and a military pick I got from the pawn shop. I currently have close to 100 thousand silver. How much silver should I save before investing in my first weapon, an what weapon should it be? I'm 2x in Cm and about .8x in ambush.

Really need advice as this is my first warrior, and I've been away a long time. Thank you for your time.

If you're looking for 4x gear you're probably going to want to get a maul, or at least that's what I recommend. It's faster than a claid by 1 second and packs a pretty great punch. Plus it's crush damage.

If you're going to stick with the claid then you can keep the one you have. Enchanted claids are very expensive (1x go for around 1-2 mil, 2x for around 8mil, and the most recent 4x that I saw sold for what was around 40m). Might be a consideration for later, when the 20 AS isn't really as important as it might be now.

Are you 3x in armor? If so, you're probably pretty close to being able to wear chain shirt (40 ranks). That'd probably be a good place to start with 4x gear. The next big jump would come at 70 ranks for metal breastplate. Plus the upside of going with the torso-only armors is that you can add greaves/legplates/helmets as you increase in ranks to get to the next armor class you're trained for.

Hobgoblin claidhs only have half the standard claidh weighting. Get backroom access (or find someone else that has it) to Tykel in the Landing and get a proper one.

Mechanically the maul is by far the best unweighted THW. It has the properties of a 9s weapon but swings at 7s.

I wouldn't train in ambush for a claidh, and I wouldn't train in it yet with a maul. With huge AGIDEX it might be worth it about level 20.

Icemule works fine for the 10-15 level range, though if you neither skin nor hunt undead you'll be wanting to move somewhere else from 15-30.

I'd take a trip and explore. Pick a town, ask the local Adventurers Guild for a bounty, and see how you get on. If you don't much like the hunting, or the company, or the lack of company, move on. Icemule is a fine place for 10-15, but you might find it problematic 15-30 if you dont skin or hunt undead.

As a general suggestion, if scripting (or macroing or up-arrow / entering) you could always put your daggers in a large sack, and swing by the well to sploosh it.

Makes the environment so much nicer for the next person. And applies in all shops where folks are looking to gain backroom access.

Easy, and considerate. What more is needed?!

Everytime I see this, I want to pick them up, find the person who was this lazy and inconsiderate and hurl them into their eyeball.

All 100 of them.

I have yet to catch someone in the act, but I'll gladly suffer the consequences of killing someone in town to show how much I dislike this (common) practice.

But cleaning up after oneself leaves less time for bopping.

Hmmm, I actually never thought of sticking them into a sack for disposal. ::Blush::
OK, suggestion noted! Wilco.
