Another MUCH missed int item that you can do at level 12 is the golden
stud earring. This will be your first "lesson" in camping probably, but
is a good one. Again, Graffe's page is the best, but the gist is you
kill a mob in Qeynos (Cubert, named baby gelationous cube - about 80
hp's), get an item, and trade it in for a +3 int earring. I did that a
BUNCH of times, finally got my two, and thats no small int bonus for
such a low level quest! And the best part is, they are like backup cash
- if you are hitting a spell level, and need 30 plat fast...
