Tulip/Shaynih'a artisan items:

• Serpent Prince (Fauchard +3. 5-19 Damage, 6ft Range, 18-20x2 Crit. Destructive [Crit multipler +1], Corrosive [+1d6 acid damage]. 12825g) /u/cfl2
  
  
• Oppressor (Bastard Sword +4. +6 Charisma. +2 Luck bonus to Will saves. 14650g) /u/ZeeAndor
  
  
• Fervant Edge (Furious Incinerating Falcata +3. One use of Righteous Might per day. 14750gp) /u/RetconRaider
• 
  
• Dark bidding (Fauchard +3. Necrotic [+2d8 negative energy damage], one use of Animate dead per day) /u/cfl2
  
  
• Mastery (Fauchard +5. Continuous freedom of movement, immunity to trip and bullrush, +5 to CMB, deals damage like a regular hit on successful combat maneuver. 53450g.) This is their Masterpiece item. /u/Sagekun

Good lord. Any idea what are the chances of getting any of these chapter-wise? Could I get for example that Oppressor bastard sword or Necrotic Fauchard as early as in chapter 3-4? That would solve my weapon focus conundrum.

They can be done as early as chapter 2.



Edit: By the way, Nok-Nok is back in my team. 64 damage on hit. Jesus.

I think you can claim this region only after finishing trolls. Add time for bp collecting, building, running around for her quest and fact she's not fast worker...

You are right. Sorry.

In the Lonely Burrow (the elemental pillars) location there is a force field, with a riddle, I think some end game stuff, a riddle.

You can dimension door (2 steps, first solo caster on the "arch", second mass inside) your party past the barrier for free goodies!

Spoiler

Hahaha my god
He has Ranged touch AC below 40
he spams greater shout, circle him around with your part and spam summons, let your alchemist(s) machinegun bombs on him, probably doable <lvl 10 with an optimized party
you get a bunch of +5 items and he gives 100k XP for an incredibly easy fight

Spoiler

I reloaded to recheck stuff, you can DD in and not trigger the lich if you go to the left edge of the room, so as soon as you get 2 casts of dimension door you can go to Lonely Burrows and pick up 300k in +5 weapon loot

Notably, this gives an easily accessible agile(+permahaste) dueling sword.

Sadly no - +5 Flail, Greataxe, shortspear , dueling sword, heavy crossbow and archer's studded leather

 

[Volourn]

So, I get the House At the End of Shit. There's a shopkeeper there seeling some uber equipment including weapons. Not one weapon of a type my meleers you. Just another greataxe and some other 'odd' weaposn. Fukk this anti one handed axe dwarf bullshitz..

I actually love how they do make you figure out where the portal is. Just gotta use some logic. Heh. And, oh, fukk those ghosts and their ability drain that can't be fukkin' blocked and their fear aura that seems to get you even if you have ridiculous + 9I even give my tanks mind blank and all the anti fear spells I can).

Only way to effectively kill them is greater shout and only b/c that is oen uber spell that bstuns basically anything pass or fail save. LMAO

Did anyone finish Forest Knight's Bracers ?

Am at 9/10, google says last piece is missing. Fake news?

there is some google doc with all the places to search

It has only 9, that's why I'm asking here.

 

[Elex]

Wouldn't be so much of a problem if that XP is distributed more evenly. For example, I got a paltry 5600 XP for killing a level 20 ghostly Wizard with sky-high AC, almost complete immunity to weapon damage etc. that could cast Wail of The Banshee at-will, but I got 120k XP for beating 2 speech checks in one convo. That's straight-up bullshit.

social interaction are encounter too.

 

[Volourn]

That kind of xp overloard for dialogue just reeks of cheesiness and unearned since the only 'risk' of failing is getting into a fight. Beating a tough opponent in actual combat comes with the risk of dying. Plus, those dialogue checks come after dialogue not giving you ridiculous xp and then later the xp gifts for passed checks go back to being normal. So.. why just for those 3 or 4 checks in that one (Codex related) dialogue checks?

good good. Nokkie is practically a miniature space cyclops. Except ten times as nimble

 

[Elex]

Who can boast he is wearing a shirt out of Primal Enraged Enlarged Ferocious Flying Dweomer Owlbear?

fixed

you forgot venom.

 

[toro]

Linxia quest is another abomination. I don't find her.

Halp.

Edit: Problem solved.

Spoiler

It takes some time for Linzi to receive a letter from Darven.

 

[Raapys]

I ran out of regents. I picked that neutral guy at the coronation, but he's gone. I read you could get Octavia or Valerie for the position, but I killed Octavia and Valerie never joined me. Wat do

Restart.

No. He will be back. Just do the main story quest asap.

 

[Reinhardt]

He talks about Lander. Some people still think he's neutral.

 

[Jenkem]

I always do Sycamore first since it's the easiest location to start, and because bandits are stronger. But on my good playthrough I found that if you go bandits first, you get diplomacy check, can solve everything with diplomacy, and thus save Jhod. And he sells the Mass Delay Poison scrolls, yay. So that's easier way as I see now.

you can still save jhod even if you go there second and kill the bandits though. also doing that makes the other group leave the ruins so you cannot recruit someone for your party right away.

 

[Thonius]

Eh I killed Tristan and maybe failed Amiri quest and I'm thinking I'm maybe gonna fail the game or get shitty result, yet some people kill companions left and right without doubt...

 

[Elex]

how is possibile to kill or miss companion in this game?

 

[Lambach]

The best part about the game is that there's no cheats/cheat engine that lets you pull yourself out of shit when your kingdom goes from "Stable" to "Troubled" for literally no fucking reason whatsoever. There's no active Barbarian raid, no monsters spawning, no Pitax shenaginans, no Failures or Disasters, even the Druids are singing my praises, I've reached Loyalty Rank 10 etc. but nope, still goes from "Stable" to "Troubled" in two weeks, because fuck you, dear player, that's why.

What an absolute mess.

Yep. I always do > N's Crossing (so I don't get nightmares) > Abandoned Tomb (so I can get my 4th companion asap) > Thorn Ford (good aligned lets you talk down Kressle... all you miss out on is a talk with Stag Lord's #2) > Abandoned Hut > Slavers camp > Temple of the Elk > Old Sycamore. Doing Sycamore that late means the companion there won't join you until act 2, but eh.

I went to deal with Tristan first - wasted time to do amiri quest right. Chose to keep Abadon Oculus ( It may have some content for it) and Tristan was like - "forgive me for what i have to do" tried to attack me - and died when I stabbed him like 2 times, no biggie. Story teller got spooky story(more like foreshadowing) for Oculus. I mean I never liked him as companion anyway, I'm just not sure if he is essential in any way for an endgame.

Spoiler

He confessed that he was traitor all along. Helped with bloom etc. And his backstory is too edgy for my taste
