One way to up your experience is to get two magic users that can cast
mind blade (if I recall correctly).  It will hit all groups.  Then go to
the room in the castle with the 4 groups of 99 beserkers, and cast the spell
at them.  If your dex is high enough, you'll hit them before they can hit
you.  After you've killed them off, teleport down two levels, then back up
and do it again.  It helps to read a book while doing this, since it takes
a long time.  But you get a LOT of experience.

P.S. Another nice thing is that selling a magic item and buying it back
will recharge it (provided it hasn't broken).  Nice to keep that flame horn
working.
