Yupp. His strategy is dumb. I assume he can't loot drops from dead monster parts, that are sold on the marketplace. So going out with a party to cash in the loot, like he does, is reasonable. But I goes out with a party that takes on really dangerous quests! And he didn't equip himself properly, with a shield for example too stall attacks on him. It might be worth it, if he is pressed on time. But from the looks of it, he could have all the time of the world, if he would just take on small quests and wouldn't flaunt his inventory ability.
