i need arena points to buy a weapon, and to get arena points i need to fight enemies in the arena, but i die to the most basic one because i have no weapons, and a charisma based character. then i was almost dead from the arena battle, and i need arena points to go to the doctor. are you kidding me.
There are other ways to earn Arena Points, you can work at the farm, the mines, sell yourself as a prostitute, and trade with NPCs. That being said, the overall character variety is pretty limiting on our part so playing a purely social based character is not easy. Sleeping and resting also give back health, the doctor is just if you want to heal without advancing a day.
