1. There's nothing more to do in Varnhold at the moment other than talk to Varn for a bit. The extra time at the end of each chapter is meant to be used to finish side quests, explore areas and build up your kingdom. Your kingdom is important for the artisans, who give you some of the best gear in the game. You have recruited Bokken by now, haven't you? Just be at your capital 2 weeks before the Bald Hilltop timer ends and all will be fine.Some beginner questions for the galaxy brains in this thread:
1. I've resolved the troll problem. Now I seem to have this huge amount of time before the ancient curse thing happens again. I got a letter inviting me to Varnhold but their guards insist on escorting me to their capital city in which there is nothing to do. I'm doing kingdom level bits and pieces as they are available and otherwise exploring around the Northern Narlmarshes or doing companion quests. Is that about the best thing I can do at this point? I have turned Kingdom management down to "Effortless" as I am only interested in it for RP purposes.
2. The Tiefling Kineticist/s. She seems pretty powerful but the AI for her is really rubbish and just spams her limited use skills on the first mobs it finds. Then it inappropriately uses her regen thing. Consequently she has to have her AI off which makes her a bit of a bore against trash mobs. Thoughts?
3. What is the right clicking thing for spells/abilities? Some kind of task queue?
4. I like Jubilost as a character but his build is tricky to play. He seems to be very dependant on his bombs which do about as much damage to me as to enemies. How do people play him in practice?
2. The tiefling sisters are the easiest characters to optimize, and so will probably be the strongest characters in a newbie's party. I've never played with AI on though, so I can't help you there.
3. It's autocast. Normally a character without orders will try autoattacking an enemy with the equipped weapon. If you've set something on autocast it'll overwrite this behavior and he'll spam whatever that was unless you give a specific order. It's great for unlimited things like wizard cantrips and zero-burn extra range kineticist blasts. If you have the move-action gather power on with your tieflings and right-click on the most powerful zero-burn ranged attack you can use, you'll be able to effectively ignore them for everything other than boss fights.
4. Git gud at targeting. This will help you with AoE attacks of all kinds. Get the Precise Bomb discovery at first opportunity. And his other major strength is buffing, after you get the Infusion discovery.
