I always have a soft spot for mages stuck in the 30s. I usually will forego awesome sweet group 800 exp a pop just to rank them up because a) I know how bad it sucks and b) usually around hero people remember that and hook you up. Getting that buckler was pretty cool of you and I really appreciate the effort. Its things like that, that make me chuggin along and returning favors. I hope your char succeeds.
