the simpliest way to keep your str and ex in order, and have it somewhat low is like I been saying for the longest time. Just keep your str four times your lvl. Dumping the rest into your dex.
1- hunting green slimes are good up intill about lvl 16-17
2- orange mushies are good from 15-21
3- The spawn rate at pig beach is insane so i recondmend you staying here intill lvl 30.....pqing is ok as well.
atlower levels 2handed weapons are best.
