You will hit Level 6 relatively quickly, but Levels 7 to 10 will take a lot of time. The best time to change class are Levels 6 or 7 in my opinion.

I'm seriously tempted by Raise Dead at 10, since I've heard you need that in a few places to use on NPCs. But I suppose I can just buy scrolls of Raise Dead and force restock. How many times does Raise Dead actually come up?

 

[Lady_Error]

Raise Dead is not that important - Resurrect works on your own party, if you don't wait too long. There are Raise Dead scrolls and a couple items with the spell.

From what I remember, the NPC's you can raise from the dead aren't even that great and certainly not important (Mistral, Medea, a Ratkin in the Pyramid too I think). Well, there is one exception: the Codex Troll is pretty great, if you are planning to take NPC's into your party. Not sure about Hoth Sagoth or whatever his name is - maybe he can also be raised from the dead, but you need to do the Wastes beginning for that.

Assassin vs Pirate.
These two classes seem very similar, with a slight emphasis on HTH combat versus... whatever the Pirate does.
Does the Pirate get slightly better item choices or something?

Pirate can wear heavy armour, which the assassin can't. Meanwhile the assassin can use a bunch of things that are otherwise caster exclusive iirc, especially things available only to necros, but I'm not fully sure.

The Iron Hands and Ninjitsu skills of the Assassin are very useful if you want a hand-to-hand combat guy. In my latest playthrough, the Naga Assassin is ridiculously effective with Ninjitsu and Iron Hands at around 60-70. Once you get Lethal Blow to 70, unarmed combat will also produce instant kills.

 

[Lady_Error]

Yeah, except for unarmed Lethal Blow you need to be an Assassin or Jester I think. It won't work once you switch to another class.

Sorry. I thought it was phrased awkwardly.

That's why you have the edit option

*Continues the adventure*
So, I'm pretty sure Dragonflies are either bugged or Cleve is intentionally trolling me. Oreworms are also a giant pain in the ass, since I basically strip down to my underwear and punch them to death. But at least they are not the immediate and profound anal cavity violation of the Dragonfly.

 

[Lady_Error]

Dragonflies are random boss encounters.

I don’t think many bosses would survive a Dragonfly!

Okay. Looks like there are Ore Worms in most of Samhain too.
I’m going to end up doing most of this dungeon naked, aren’t I?

 

[Incendax]

Just met Leraus Stonecutter.
Damn - Cleve can write!

Aliens = Chinese Water Torture

 

[Lady_Error]

At least some of them are an equal match for an Übermensch-party at the end of the game.

 

[SevenSidedDice]

Incline!

Kelpy followed me home:

 

[Anthedon]

It is done!

I'm looking forward to part two. My party is ready to be imported.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Lol the astral stalker. That guy must have like 5k hp.

Unfortunately for him I have disintegrate.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Well then.

Spoiler

And it took me only three months. A little disappointed at no evil ending with siding with Ahriman, but so it goes.

Cleveland Mark Blakemore thanks for the great game, I enjoyed it tons, despite some of the odd quirks and weirdo design decisions. In fact I'd even say I enjoyed it more than Wiz7 overall.

GOLDEN ERA GAMES [developer] 5 hours ago

Has been a while, took a brief break for the first time in about 20 years. I will get another update up in the month coming with some impressive fixes and new features. After that it will probably be quite a while before Grimoire is updated again. I have already added new game mechanics like Necromancers increasing hitpoints by sucking out life force for certain existing spells, etc.

When you try to scribe id'ed spellbooks bought from npc but can't due to game saying failed to id is that a bug or low Scribe skill?

Drop the spellbook, pick it up, identify again.

Are you playing the latest version or a pirated copy? If it's the latest version, this bug should be reported since it's very common.

 

[Shadenuat]

this game has the most broken Bard class I seen in RPGs.

Spoiler

15 notes disables a second. And TWO spellbooks. Just so Bards could Haste themselves for good measure.

also unlike Wiz games magic is like... wow. it's like, Wiz magic (buffs, disables & remove negative effects) AND other stuff also works. It even has I Cast Fist from Nox.

some things never change though, i.e put everything into SPD. so far for a meme game, this exceeded my expectations, I hope rest of the game holds up to early city and dungeons around it. I feel like things a bit on easy side though, partially due to safe havens, partially to me spending 20 hours on making a party and fixing my mistakes (making drow Cleric named Viconia was bad idea).

Increase the difficulty level then.

Looks like you are playing a very early pirated version where the Bards were still overpowered.

PIRACY IS WRONG
