Re: Gamfari

Same goes for Tangletree Forest. It was called something else originally and I think that in version 1.0 of the game someone calls it by it's original name (can't remember what it was, at the moment). You have another minor "bug" on that score - when you cross between maps, you are told t...

Re: Lock picks & General Help needed

Thank you all for your advice! Seems like I haven't misconfigured my character that badly at all. These are my specs: * Strength 15 * Dexterity 16 * Endurance 14 * Speed 14 * Intelligence 14 + 2 (Thinking Cap) * Wisdom 14 * Perception 14 * Concentration 14 This is good, but I would urge you not to ...

Re: Lock picks & General Help needed

Janusz11, I guess my advice would be to not get too frustrated - I too played a Ranger my first game, and I too had to abandon it (even though I was about Lvl. 12) because I had mishandled my character's development. Basically, it's probably not uncommon to abandon your first game. So don't worry ab...

Re: Just to Let you Know... (Minor Spoilers)

What's the Ultimate Short Blade (e.g. for mages)?

I know Stilettos are Damage = 3.

I think I once saw a dagger/short blade that was Damage = 4 or 5, but I don't remember what it was, or where I saw it. And I don't think I've ever seen a magic/imbued short blade for sale...

Re: Need Good Fighter Build

What good build for a fighter you can advise to me? Thank U This has been discussed in other threads, but with Fighters, your best bet is to max out (at the beginning) these Attributes: 1. Strength 2. Endurance 3. Dexterity ...probably in that order. Assuming you go for a straight sword(etc.)-using...

Re: Mercantile Skill - HELP!

I was considering this thread the other day, and I was thinking that a "Merchant" class character would be an interesting addition to Book II. (Maybe playing that class would allow you buy/sell goods to other non-merchant NPC's in the game!) If Book II goes with a Merchant class, I think I...

Re: Rangers - What's the Best Approach?

Following up on my own post, what I've found is that if you want to do Ranger, you have to go Druidic. The mistake I made the first couple of times I played Ranger is that I went with Agnostic , and with Agnostic, HP regeneration is just too darn slow. Elsol's points also really help - more than End...

Re: [Spoiler] Recipes of Eschalon

So is there really no way to make a Potion of Predator Sight on your own? I never tried all the possible combinations once I discovered Ectoplasm (when I played the game the first time, I actually tried all the possible reagent/reactant combinations, but this was before I had Ectoplasm). I must say,...

Rangers - What's the Best Approach?

OK, I've basically played through Book I a couple of time now. And what I'm finding is that the game was a breeze with an Elemental Mage, and was no problem with a Fighter. (I recently started a Healer, and that looks to be about as easy as Mage. I haven't played a Rogue yet, and probably won't, as ...

Re: Regeneration of Monsters

I personally think that at least some above-ground maps should slowly repopulate with beast/monsters/goblins over time (days). Or, rather, I think Book II should be more like something like Ultima IV, where there's some non-zero chance that you will suddenly encounter random monster(s) at any given ...

Re: Book II Questions Thread

Will we visit Thaermore at all in Book II?

I know the "blurb" for Book II says "Thaermore has fallen." But I'm hoping we at least get to visit the area again (if not in Book II, then at least in Book III). I think I'll be sad if we never get to see Thaermore again... ;)

Re: The (Non-Goblin) Keys (was: Revisiting Keys)

Hmm... it looks like I got a hold of the thin key too late, since I only managed to access the redroom in Blackwater by picking the lock. I guess I can go ahead and drop the thin key, then, eh? On that subject: Does anybody remember where the thin key comes from? I don't remember where I found it. ...

The (Non-Goblin) Keys (was: Revisiting Keys)

I have much the same question as the "Revisiting Keys" topic. The good news is, I have ID'ed what all but what of the non-goblin keys does: Thin Key - opens crime scene house in Blackwater Rusty Key - opens room in Grimmhold with Krista of Bordertown's amulet Odd Key - ? Heavy Key - opens ...
