Unfortunately newer versions of Z have themed dungeons, and the town
dungeon only goes down to level 15. These two factors can make it
challenging to find Free Action before you die of boredom or bad
luck. In any other variant I'd recommend that you just dive and avoid
paralyzers like the plague... but you can't dive in Z without fighting
your way into a wilderness dungeon, and that often proves fatal to
early characters.
Luckily, the one thing that Z has in abundance is Magic Shops.
There's almost certainly a ring of free action for sale somewhere, if
you can find it. Traveling in the wilderness is risky, but survival
is much more likely if you follow a few rules:
1) Do NOT travel at night. Check the time before leaving town to
ensure that you can get to your destination before nightfall.
2) Carry plenty of scrolls of tele****tation.
3) Check the overhead map *constantly* to ensure that you don't get
too close to a deep dungeon or a wilderness quest.
4) If you can find a castle, delivering messages is a good way to earn
some quick cash in order to buy FA.
Actually, in order to make the game more enjoyable to me, I modified
the source code so that the town dungeons are more interesting (i.e.
not sewers) and go all the way to level 30. I highly recommend this
option if you don't mind getting your hands dirty with source code.
