I took people's advice and started farming levels on Chickens. I was at that for roughly 30 minutes before getting sidetracked and trying to cook them next.

I ended up deciding to get a better weapon. From what i had gathered Scimitars are the superior weapon in this game, so i went to this desert place to find one. It was a bit of a pain because i had to pay a toll to get in (I didn't realize i could go around at the time). But after all that i realized i couldn't even afford it.

After that i went to the Grand Market and put some stuff up for sale that i stole out of NPCs houses. It sold rather quickly and i bought a Scimitar there as i found out it was a whole lot cheaper than buying it in the desert place.

And all of this brought me full circle to farming cows again to gain exp. By the time i'm done i think the cow population will have been decimated. All this to kill a vampire and a few other enemies that have been giving me trouble
