Wizardry The Wizardry Series Thread

[Arkast]

There's a complete solo faerie ninja guide for Wizardry 8 here.

OK, just tell me which weapon class I should focus on my Ninja?
Spears, Polearms, maces, daggers or swords?

Don't be retarded, start with a full party and leave the autistic powergaming for subsequent playthroughs, otherwise you'll end up hating the game and yourself in no time.
Do you even know what items to savescum the first chest for? Where do you need to go after the monastery and in what order?
The game is meant to be played with a 6-person party and 2 NPCs to get the most out of it.

 

[Fenix]

Do you even know what items to savescum the first chest for?

Well, no.
I got Bo and was satisfied.
I just don't like micromanage many partymates, so I always try to accomplish with the least possible number.

Question - how many classes you can got? There is no restriction?
Do you need your primary attributes for meet requirements for another class or attributes from equipment counts?
I already understand that I don't need to rise on levelups skills that I can develop through battle.

The only thing I fear of is a developing a magic skills for Bishop - there is somehow puzzling system in game.


Also - for Ninja important number of attack per rpind right? So, does it goes better with Dual Weilding, or one-hander in primary hand get largest number of attack?

I just don't like micromanage many partymates,

Boy, did you pick the wrong series mang.

so I always try to accomplish with the least possible number.

4 is the least you should try any Wizardry/Might and Magic game with. 6 is the least for newbies to the series.

Boy, did you pick the wrong genre mang.

Fixed.

 

[Fenix]

So, I tested a little - did you mean those items I need savescum for solo are bombs of two kind, or was it Amulet of Static? )

You should savescum yourself five more party members

Ok, still Wiz5, my 13 lvl Lord is able to beat Laughting Kettle with little help of Murphy's Ghost summon. Questions are:

1. I've killed Kettle with single character, received 528158 exp but my Lord leveled up only once, wtf? Are level up requirements so high or surplus got lost (you cannot level up multiple times at once)?
2. Which level is enough to kill LaLaMooMoo and Sorn?

Here's the list:

For a solo playthrough - probably the Stink & Boom bombs

But you REALLY should restart with at least 4(or better 6) people, it's a game with massive amounts of great loot that you'll want to use.

 

[Fenix]

One is faster, tha't all I need.
If it will be that good, I'll replay later with a party.

Anyway, I scummed both amulet and bomb, and Bo of cource.
Also I'm tring to rise dual weild and daggers, but not sure I need it.

One person is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay slower, cause you'll need to reload fights/spawns like a mofo.

No, you take a faerie ninja for one reason only (which is pwning everything with Cane of Corpus).

 

[Fenix]

But with dagger in offhanc it should be faster right?

 

[k0syak]

But with dagger in offhanc it should be faster right?

you can see the exact number of attacks/swings in the inventory - compare for yourself.

 

[Wayward Son]

I can't wait for you to get to anywhere past the Castle and see all the massive fights that you'll have to do alone Fenix.

 

[Fenix]

you can see the exact number of attacks/swings in the inventory - compare for yourself.

It doesn't help.
With Bo I got 1 attack 1 swing, with Faerie Stick and Dagger - 2 attack 1 swing but at lowered accuracy.
Faerie Stick alone gives 1 attack 1 swing.

So I appreciate if someone give actual info.
For now rising DW and Dagger is a pain in the ass, but if I'll get more attack than 1h then, well...

 

[Fenix]

Also, do I need unofficial patch - I heard there is one - or my GoG version include that already?

Help me, please.

 

[Nephologist]

Sounds to me like you might be better off just watching a Wiz 8 solo run LP...

[Fenix]

Thanks for a help fucker.

http://www.zimlab.com/wizardry/recovered/flamestryke/wizardry8/flamestrykes_w8.html

I already found it, thanks for not answering questions.
Also honestly I know already that GoG release is 1.24 so I need 1.26

I think if I'll ask somthing about useful fixes, I'll get the same shit.

 

[Dorateen]

At this rate, how will Fenix the Fairy Ninja make it through the Arnika Road?

 

[Fenix]

So, I used widescreen mod - it works fine, applied fix for black lines in loading screen - luckily haven't seen this bug in inventory, and used Cosmic Forge to possibly remove fog.
Let's see what will happen.

Thanks for all the help, this Flamestryke site have something to read.
Back to annoying slime in Lower Monastry...

P.S. Looking for a mod with fast animation.

No fog.

Spoiler

 

[Fenix]

Well, I start to like it.

Spoiler

Can you tell me - will I ever need things such as powder of resurrection, smelly salt etc?
Also I won't be able to use things like potion against paralysis, right, so they are useless for solo?

 

[Fenix]

So, Arnika Road wasn't too hard, because I just ran away mostly. )
The only killed - bandits near chest, and two wasp.

 

[mushaden]

Playing Wizardry 7 (finished 8 before, tried 6 but got scared off). I am pretty slow when it comes to finishing games... should I be worried about my characters getting too old? Also, for the same reason, is my game gonna be screwed from these rival parties getting places before me? I've already had some rat in New City library tell me that someone came before me and took some blueprints (which I wasn't even looking for)

 

[octavius]

If you don't find the maps yourself, you can find them on the corpses on the vanquished enemy parties. May be able to trade for them too, I can't recall.
