The horrors need removing from level one.
Was you using the correct weapon ore?
And did you realise the mobs are fully resistant to elemental damage?
If spirit stone is the correct armor for Keldien resistance I don't think its working at all.... You get no sound or graphic to indicate any damage was resisted.
Last time I checked Arms lore did not report any enchatment.
If anything spirit stone is making their damage worse if that's even possible.
Please double check that the resistance is working. I don't think AR is the only problem.

I tried getting harry to check my spirit stones by dragging them onto him but he just said "what do you expect me to do with this?" then I had iktomi confirm the property was on there...
I went back and tested and my numbers were better - so I dunno if I just totally misread the first test or my spirit stones were old... but I didn't get hit for over 25 damage the 2nd test.
Seems Ares is probably right - might be AR is too low...
Is Gloom enough of a boost? I forget how much AR it has over spirit stone.
Edit: Or is there a way you can just boost the power of the spirit stone enchantment?

You need to use the "Can you check this" command to get Harry to fix your armor.

I actually didnt mind the casters cause it increased the loot however with their high damage spells if you were wearing spirit stone would probably hurt quite a bit. I wore shalrius is probably why I didnt really care about them too much. Just it is quite packed and and easy to get stuck in the small corridors. I did like the ladder to the new part of the dungeon that was pretty neat. But I'd say the main reason I was a little disappointed is because of the low amount of tickets for how long it takes to make it through.
P.S. Add virtue to the kieldon weakling guys. I know they are 1 hit but really 1 gold and no virtue is kinda just tedious and weapon damaging Unless you meant the mass of them blocking ways and such to add to the difficulty.
But like I said it was quite interesting as never seen them before
Funnily enough their purpose is eventually to rebel and help the players via a script - but that's on the todo.
Can someone summarise the Pro's and Con's from a players perspective and I'll get back to you.

Just finished in there on my own,
cleared lvl 1, ladder room, and paths to lvl 2.
Bugs:
- Resurrection Portal not working
- Impossible to return from ladder room after you die since ghost cant use ladder
- LOS issues... in the paths to level 2 the fragment and witch were casting at me through the mountain. In the ladder room the horror can pretty much cast at you no matter where you are
Recommendations:
- Remove some (most) of the ladders in the ladder room. Specifically the ones to the south when you enter. It creates too much of a pinch point and everything in the whole room just runs at you when you enter. If there is one way to get to each floor, that is enough.
- The kaldian lord was pretty tough but didnt have any decent loot on him. I would just skip that room unless there is more to it (but maybe theres a secret i didnt notice with one of those odd looking rock walls). The best thing the lord was carrying was an expert book of something unimportant. =p Give him a boost in gold and should be master book not expert.
Overall:
I thought it was a lot of fun. I enjoyed the horrors and slaves. I wasnt wearing the proper defensive gear but i had the right offense.
It took me too long to clear, but it was mostly due to the things i mentioned in bugs/recommendations, i think with those changes it will speed it up a bit to where it should be.
This isnt a dungeon for noobs but its a great dungeon. I would rather see this dungeon left as is and make an easier dungeon somewhere else if we want noob dungeons.
right now we have despise, that bug hole, and sewer for noobs.. i think the best option would be to expand the sewer dungeon. Its close to home, perfect for thems noobs.. and who doesnt love fighting in sewers?
