I almost positive that my party will die, and I'll not have enough money to resurrect them (I don't have the RESURRECT spell yet), so I'll just have to sell the Druid's garb again to get enough money to resurrect my characters, leaving me with about the same amount of money I had before buying the druid's garb, with no equipment.

Should I just pass up this opportunity at the Druid's Garb and hope to catch it later in the game? (Again, I'm only at level seven.) Or should I sell off all my other equipment to get the Druid's Garb? Again, Druid's Garb, Lyesis, first item of specialness.

> > Even if you had enough money, I would have told you not to buy it. The Druid's Garb is a very nice item, it gives your druid a lot of protection, but it's not worth crippling everyone else in your party by selling all their items, especially if you only have level 14 and under characters. You'll have plenty of opportunities to search for those items of extra specialness once you get to level 8 and below and start exploring extensively. I bought my first item of specialness as well, but only because I could afford it by selling off unneeded items and items that wouldn't seriously undermine and cripple my party (For example, sell a Plate Armor +3, but slap on a Plate Armor +1 on the character that sacrificed his Plate Armor +3, you still make a lotta profit).

Okay, thanks for not making me feel too bad about not having enough money.
