I am currently back at the Asylum killing the second boss there. I have some other random stuff to do (go back and kill the dragon on the bridge). I will wait for you
The weapons stuff is complicated imo I and don't have the patience to study up.
I upgraded my scimitar to "raw" so I can enchant it, but it sounds like I could have done that going another route.
I really need to find another weapon I like. I've settled into the way the scimitar moves (slash). If I ever do another run thru I will mix it up.
