ya rofl... a thane? Last time I played they were pretty crappy. But I tell you this, I could farm shit with my shadowblade and my shammy bot pretty nice. But then again, I had like one of the best SBs on guinevere, beat rr10s 1v1.
If I remember correctly, the best farmer was a minstrel with high pet charm soloing(with cleric bot) hulks in DF. But that was way back, I dunnno what its like now.
