I think the graves also represent dead party-members who are buried in the wild, ie. rookie mistakes  :)

Silver Dale (51,51) has 5 indestructible short swords in the Trade Hall for 3k a pop. If you want a few to kick start garrison equipment or something they are there.
I personally won't get or use them (unless I get them free) because the investment for a decent indestructible short sword eventually gets off the wall. They are better than quarterstaves though.

Hm, have you considered murder?  It's either that or letting it go.

Eventually the upgrade differences for indestructibles seems to level off.  5 compared to 8 is a big deal, but 5+40 compared to 8+40 isn't a big deal.  So even weak weapons can be great at huge upgrades.  So you can build things to suit flavor, if you're into that.

That's good to know. What you can do then is optimize for reduced weight - light indestructible items with high upgrades. I'm getting hit with movement speed issues now that most of my peeps are in full plate, so any strategy to get more speed would be nice.

EDIT: I just stumbled on a dungeon at 55/88, it says "level 1" dungeon though. Well this is my first dungeon so I'm going to check it out.

What's a good rule of thumb for dungeon difficulty, e.g. is a level 4 dungeon good for a party of 5x level 4's?

As far as I know, dungeon level x 5 is ~ expected character level (although how your gear is expected to have scaled I don't know). Maybe (dungeon level - 1) x 5, actually. There's a x5 in there, at least.

That's about right.  I've only found a single level 2 dungeon so far.  If you notice dungeons above level 1, might be worth commenting.

A level 2 dungeon can be found at 28, 68

Using the sage "find level 2 dungeon" feature for 600 gold. I only saw a "level 1 dungeon" search feature when I checked the sage out when I started playing. Maybe it's this town, or maybe it's based on my current level, idk yet. Theoretically higher level players could search for level 3 dungeons? anyone want to try this? It looks like using the sage feature we can find Lvl2 dungeons any time needed.

I'll probably go try out that level 2 dungeon 12 hours from now, so i'd like it if no-one raids it around that time. The level 1 dungeon was way too easy, and I definitely think I could make more money with a harder dungeon. How long does a dungeon take to refill with monsters, any idea?

I found a 2nd level 2 dungeon, although the loot was pitiful compared to the first one I found.
17, 62
The meh one
   
28, 68
The better one

In other news...I think I'm going to try a world tour, start from 1,100, go to 1,1 then down 2, 1.

Update: so far...its working, I left 7 of my party members as a garison and I'm wandering around with a priest with a highly enchanted sword and chainmail, so far only things that can touch me is crits, went from level 8 to 12 using 200 or so turns.

There's a level 3 dungeon at 72,20 that I've been farming for the past week or so.

How long does a dungeon take to refill with monsters, any idea?

Wandering in once a day seems fine, although it's probably quicker than that.

Sages appear to be bugged and not actually perform the search.  You can't click "okay" and get results.

It's funny then because that was what I got from the sage, so maybe it's fickle or affects different browsers differently.

Yes, I can search for level 3 dungeons with a sage, higher then your level dungeons will not show up even if you enter a square that has it. Dungeons seem to reset every day.

I found something out, at party level 12 you can make custom characters like you did at the start at the recruitment offices.

My sage is still bugged.  I may get people to search for things for me once I get to a more decent level.  I'm mainly just after some rough dungeons, so that I can dive for loot.

ALSO a call for trade.  If anyone can find an indestructible plate armor I will pay price-gouging levels of gold for it!
