I did a search looking for answers to my question before posting. I just didn't come up with anything. You have to admit, searching one long thread for a specific topic isn't exactly easy, and I didn't really have the time to go back page by page that far. I did go back five or six pages, but...
I do appreciate those on the thread who are willing to answer a question more that once for people, like me, who aren't able to find what they're looking for. It's much more user friendly than just, "That was answered already. Go find it."
That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for pointing it out. We did up our tool and weapon skills to 1 each (don't have a lot of skill points yet), and that made the difference.
