I've found that a well equipped warrior hero can manage to level up extremely fast if you fight solo. If it's really a problem and you want to use the higher level items, get the Potential line of traits or pick up General for your profession.
Has anyone else experienced Resoln running away to a ridiculous extreme since the patch or is this a mere coincidence? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38820453/Resoln%20Run%20Away.bmp Large Map.
