Do the ghoulbane quest, it served me well in my late 30's and up to mid-40's. Then do the Bone-Bladed Claymore and an Ancient Desert Power, they are good for 50's.

I carry both, a shield and 1 hander (hammer and sword) and a 2-hander (sword). I have not found a good 2-handed hammer I like yet. I switch out based upon the situation. I use the 2 hander when soloing easier stuff. Switch to shield/1-hander for harder mobs and groups. I use hammer most of the time for hammer ground (STA AA), but will switch to sword if I am not mian tank to get the WIS AA sword bonus (don't remember the name).

I don't use piercing weapons, my skill there is realy low. Again, I have not found any that I really like. Besides a barbarian SK will slash or beat on things, not stick it with a tiny weapon. YARR

dude, get your piercing up because your boot is a piercing attac and will miss more with low skill.
