I'm not entirely sure if I'm doing something wrong but I'm doing fuckall damage and the difficulty seems to be all over the place.
I fucked up and did the Peddler's Petition quest they give you at the start of the game which is hard as fuck, I managed to complete it and then I bought a 60k gold staff. So with this I SHOULD be extremely overpowered for the normal story missions.
But now, I've been asked to go down to the everfall and there's these worms that come out of the ground that are destroying me and I do not seem to be doing any damage to them whatsoever. I barely have the time to cast spells before I'm interrupted by someone hitting me from behind.
Am I missing some core gameplay here? What the fuck am I supposed to do? I don't even have any other sidequests to do to make me stronger. Should I just grind mobs until I can progress?
