My adventurer has been having great difficulty being able to actually find monsters and undead even when there are lots of them around. As such she has been unable to actually make money to buy gear, and I suspect this may be why she can't find any monsters despite still gaining experience. This has made her nearly unplayable. My previous advie had no such issues before he died.

Is there a way I can fix this or should I just retire her and make a new one?

Your skill has no bearing on whether or not you find the monsters, just on what search options are available and how well you can fight them.

If you are having trouble finding monsters & undead, I suggest moving to another area, or finding some other adventurers to work with.

What does the investigate option tell you?

This has been going on for at least a month now, I think, and I have moved to several regions. My advie is on Dwilight too, if that makes a difference.

You investigate the monster situation in Masatodon. There can be no doubt that there are monsters here, aside from the many reports you can see signs of their presence yourself.


Then you turn to look for undead. You hear rumours about undead and a few who claim to have seen them from afar.

I spent 7 hours hunting monsters, my first and third attempts found them but none of the others were successful. Sometimes I only find one group, or none at all. Even when I use as many hours as I can before my advie tires out.

I also have an adventurer on Dwilight but don't have this problem.  There are hunting groups that operate, find one and hunt with them, they can share locations. (I work in a group of 3)

It won't hurt to spend your gold on sword-fighting/adventuring gear to prepare you for tougher groups.

cheers,

I'm not sure how working with a group of people will help if my advie is having so much trouble following her own quest strings... whatever they are, but I'll try and organize something with the advies near me.
