Watcher's Keep in SoA or ToB? Options

[coaster]

Hi

I'm coming to the end of SoA and would like some thoughts on whether to tackle Watcher's Keep in the SoA or ToB portions of the game.

I was originally going to do WK in ToB, because I want to add Sarevok to the party, and enable him to share in the huge amounts of XP available in WK. But most people here seem to have gone to WK in SoA. Is there some reason for this? Will I struggle at the end of SoA without some of the upgrades I might get in WK?

Thanks

It's just personal preference; the hardest part of SOA is at the beginning.

If you plan to take Sarevok in your party then you should definitely leave WK for ToB.

If you do it in the SoA, the final battle will be easier but it's still doable even without the XP/items of WK.

Thanks guys. Will leave it till ToB.

Just have Orcus, Marvella, Twisted Rune and Vanya's quests to polish off, then it's off to Suldenesselar (I tried all these on a lower level and got pulped, let's hope I've got what it takes now )
