Everquest

I have a few more questions that have been stuck in my craw for a while and, as usual, all help will be greatly appreciated.

1.  I'm a lvl 16 Paladin now & I use a Bas tard Sword; however, the hit points that I inflict on opponent characters never goes above 16 points (whereas many of my opponents hit me for 20 to 30+ points).  What can I do to increase my weapon's power?  My strength is 104 and all my related skills are pretty good.  Is there a better one-handed slashing weapon out there?

2.  When I look at the map (Backspace) sometimes it only shows me a portion of the map for the level, othertimes it shows me the entire layout of the area.  What do I need to do to the map page so that I can choose to see the whole map or just part of it.  I messed around with it a little & nothing seems to work.

3.  Where are the Rujarkian Hills?  Are they next to the Innothule Swamp?

That's it for now.  Thanks!

Q1 ) Now your getting into paladin specific questions and I've never played a paladin... so...
Most likely, this is the way it's going to be the rest of your career. Mobs always hit harder than you (unless they are green), this is to motivate you to find a group. To actually answer this question, it is unlikely that you can make your sword more powerful (possible, but unlikely), you would be better off looking, in the bazaar, for a better weapon.

Q2 ) Not sure of what you do and don't see on your map, however, you can scroll your mouse wheel in and out to zoom in and out... also you can move the map around with the cursor or the arrow keys at the top of the map. I have noticed on dugeons that have multiple lvls, it's tough to tell what lvl your on, the map displays all lvls at the same time... If you hit the "Height Filter" button this might fix that or I've found that hitting the "Base" button - 1 sometimes helps. Also I went here and downloaded these maps, unzipped the file in my everquest "maps" folder. They are much better than the ones SOE provides.

Q3 ) The Rujarkian Hills are not actually on your map, anywhere.. someone correct me if I'm wrong, please, but I think the Rujarkian Hills are the LDoN instance you enter from The Desert of North Ro. I think it's the sand people instances. You would talk to the wayfairers for the mission, then the zone intrance is (if I have the correct LDoN) in Oasis of Marr.
