I just beat the earth temple and I'm only level 27. I'm worried that I just don't have the levels to survive the blue dragon caves, mana temple, and D:50. It's day 75 or so, and I'd really like to get to D:50 before 90 days.

Should I scum for XP somewhere? Should I just forge ahead and trust to my awesome stats and library-augmented spell list? Any strategies, anecdotes, or random musings would be appreciated.

Level doesn't matter very much. You'll just gain some more hit points at higher level. I had level 28 hurthling merchant myself at D:45 where I met a great red dragon vault and rose to level 50 immediately. Try to find a greater vault. If you don't find one then you'll have to gain the exp some other way.

A quick dive down to the elemental orb thingymagigs should help you - the guardians of those (memory really suffering this morning) uhh, D48 pillar things, tend to give good XP.... or you could slay some Eternal Guardians if your feeling too hung over to remember the word anomaly... oh, yeah, anomaly.

Thanks for the input. It sounds like the best idea is just to forge ahead.

I was merrily doing so until I met a ki rin on 40 or so. He totally kicked my ass! I managed to bypass him but it was a humbling experience. Hence the question.

I cleared the Earth Temple with a lv 30 drakish thief. It was tough, had to take one or two at a time downstairs, but not impossible. Just above the ET I found a greater red dragon vault which brought me to lv 46, but I think that I would have managed the Mana Temple even at that level, it was very easy.
For the Horde!

Level 27 in the Earth Temple is perfectly fine and normal. No need to worry. DV/PV, intrinsics and damage are the more important stuff...
