I lvled up a guy to 40 def with 1 atck and 1 str.
Took about a week and a half.
But it was hella easy, I have dual log in going, playing my other guy, and checking in on the guy at monks every so often. only annoying part is walking back from lumby lol, dam dwarves!
AFK at monks means away from keyboard while fighting monks at monastery by edgeville. And yes it does work because once you have about 20 def the monks will rarely hit you, to the point where you just regen and stay at full hp most the time. But randoms, like the drunk dwarf and swarm can kill you pretty easy so be on the look out!
