GOOD STATS TO START WITH: 5 agility, 12 luck 28 vit. Sidenotes: take the 5 agility right from the start when you can, then when you get the club that -5 you are even, then pump up your vit, i started doing luck around level 10 almost, then just spam combos, you might ahve to redo a level or two to get some more exp i usually do the pirate one, on the ship fast exp there. finally just make your vit your pirmary stat and luck secondary, reason is cuase your armor will get 60 just from items alone, and your damage will also be around 30 from items, luck will get your 160 crits, and normal attacks around 66. fast way to get all the badages this way, rate up if this help you.
not sure if it works for you all, but if you put maggots in your inventory, and do level 4 area valley. The maggots tend to drop more often, thus allowing you to sell them 20g a pop every nice trick if you can farm that level.
