I just started UW yesterday, and have finished the 1st level and
now am on second, so if you haven't gotten that far yet, don't
read any further!




OK, I've talked to all the Mountain Folk I could find, and have searched
about half the second level.  Where the hell do you find this guy Shak or
whatever his name is?  So far I'm armed with a worn short sword and I
keep getting my ass kicked (the combat system in UW sucks, IMHO).  I
assume this guy can repair my sword, or I can barter for better weapons.
I'm up to level 6 already, but my character seems to fight like a wussy!
I hope it's just due to the poor weapons and armor.  I've accumulated a
small amount of wealth, I'd like to put it work!


Oh, anybody experience problems with losing caches?  I recall U6 had a
bug where if you left stuff laying around it would disappear.  I'd like
to lighten my load some more (left some loot on Level 1) by leaving a
few things in a corner somewhere.
