The ONLY item I got from Palmer was wand of Orcus (actually, you will laugh but Palmer didn't know how to get it, so I had to lead him the whole way, point with fingers where to get keys, etc.). And, to be honest, I wasn't using it for 70% of time

Here is the first lesson for you if you wish to play orc.
SWITCH WEAPONS OFTEN
You DON'T want to use WoO against assassin. You want to use axe/ mace
You DON'T want to use WoO against thief. You want to use pair of axes.
You DON'T want to use WoO against elven paladin. Try to figure out why?

Read the logs, please. And count how many of them were with WoO.

As for everything else, Palmer was very useful for raiding purpuses. And fun to RP with. But our times were quite different and I don't think I got a single kill while in group with him.
