well, if you are a decent level then

No you shouldnt. It is a huge waste of time. Yeah it is powerful and all but the short sword is goon enough for that part of the game. Once you are done with the marsh cave you probably will have enough to buy it then. IMO I rather wait then fight for an hour.

If your only fighting an hour to buy everything you need, your obviously using a game genie.

1. I never use game genie
2. I never said it takes an hour to buy everything.

I was exaggerating when I said it takes an hour to buy THE SILVER SWORD. But it does take a quite some time to buy it. And if you are gonna buy everything their at elfland you are wasting a huge amount of time.

Do it there and you never have to lvl up for the rest of the game, or fight for gold for that manner. It depends on what you call wasting your time. I always do it.

Agreed. Clobbering ogres for fun and profit. I end up making up some small story on why the light warriors are wandering aimlessly instead of trying to stop Garland.

But it is not just the gold. It's the leveling. Well worth it. Not to mention that a short boat ride away and you can pay inn prices from the start of the game.

Besides, you just need to level enough to get to through the game to the giant's hallway.

Fighting at Fingertip using Houses inbetween battles usually gives me enough money to get the good stuff.

Not really, spending 5 straight hours of leveling up is very boring. I rather move on. Besides there is no point in leveling so high in this game. Why waste time getting to lvl 10 or higher when the marsh cave can be easily beaten at lvl 6? Why level to level 18 for the ice cave when it can be easily beaten at lvl 13? If you just move on you will level up just fine from the random encounters. Considering that I usually beat this game at lvl 25 or lower I dont need to spend much time fighting enemies for many hours.

Yeah but that can also take awhile to get all the money you need. Plus I rarely use that area. I think it is cheap.

Too late.
Actually, I rather liked the DW games after I, except for one thing: the Godawful interface.
