Find a quick (really quick) money-making opportunity, and go with it.

[IronyOwl]

Yes, well. More glory for us when we defeat our well-equipped enemies.

Order seagull to bring me a seashell. Use seashell to woo maiden.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Lead that charge!

[Taricus]

Why does an axe give me a bonus to social skills?

Melt the sword, buy the lamp!

[IronyOwl]

Why does an axe give me a bonus to social skills?

Maybe everyone's awed by its majesty, like an awesome scepter.
