Re: Is this a good way of getting exp?
Q: What is the best way to get experience?
A: This depends upon where you are in the game. First starting out, doing missions and killing monsters will net you some experience. In the Darkwood Cullis Gate section of the forest, when you step off the bridge, or the stairs, the monsters will respawn. Kill them repeatedly for experience. (Depending on what you have leveled up, there will be either small groups of hobbes or a single earth troll)
Once you get a sizable amount of mana potions, you can begin to use the spell Summon to garner loads of will experience. Getting your combat modifier up to around 25 and repeatedly using summon as fast as you can (until the CM is down to 10, where it isn't worth doing anymore) will get you about 25k will experience.
Alternately, if you find a place where rock trolls spawn, you can hold you bow (Skorms bow works the best, but this will also work with an obsidian longbow) for exactly 2 minutes, lock onto the troll, fire, and receive a combat modifier of 60-65. Then spam summon all the way down to a 10 combat modifier for 100k+ will experience.
Skill experience is very easy to get. When first starting out, get a combat modifier of around 6 or 7 and then use a skill potion for 6-7k skill exp. Now, level up in guile so that you are a better merchant. Fable has a very simplistic economy. Low amount of items in stock = high price, high amount of items in stock = low price. In this way, you can buy and sell from a single merchant indefinitely as long as you make a profit. For example, a merchant has 30 health potions at 40 gold per potion. You buy all of these potions. He now wants to buy those same potions for 70 gold per potion. Sell them ALL back to him. Buy them again. Repeat for profit. This works on all items in fable, like diamonds, emeralds, wedding rings, and yes, even augmentations.
Strength experience is a little harder to get up. Since you have a way to get vast amounts of will/skill experience easily, use your general experience to augment your physical experience. Also, use physical experience potions when your combat multiplier is high (see rock troll technique).
