DrNutt, your pawn has in the last 10 minutes thrown like 4 people to their deaths, and cackling madly. I'm worried that I might be next. help me what have you done losonti tokash fucked around with this message at 22:51 on May 25, 2012 |

Gestalt Intellect posted:How viable is it to always rent your healers? After finally ordering this I was going to roll one of the four Strider vocations myself and have my main pawn be a Fighter/general tank, but then I realized that I would always have to get healing mages from other people. Is it easy enough to search for the skills you need that I could rely on getting the ones I'm missing from others, or is that sort of luck-based? I've seen search criteria in videos for vocations but not skills. You can see what skills pawns have before you hire them. I don't know if you can search for particular skills but from what I've seen, almost all mage/sorcerer pawns have healing spells on them. I've hired healers the whole game no problem.

Hobo Siege posted:I prefer to roll with a melee option and a ranged option at all times. You can generally be pretty sure of what your pawn is going to do, but you never know when someone else's will screw off because they saw something shiny drop. You get a few abilities to help you without using melee, namely Levitate and Magic Agent (creates flying orbs around you)

The problem I've had is that rented pawns seem to be really inconsistent with how frequently and reliably they heal. Even going back to Losonti's pawn after he gained a few levels seemed to affect the rate which he was healing, so it's not even a matter of favoriting a healer pawn and calling it good. Generally, it's been easy enough to find one every few levels, but if you want really dependable healing, I would probably recommend using your main pawn for that. losonti tokosh posted:DrNutt, your pawn has in the last 10 minutes thrown like 4 people to their deaths, and cackling madly.

Right now my healer is Lil B (not at whom to check which goon he belongs to) and he's working out pretty well. He seems to be very concerned with keeping our health topped off, which is a boon on escorts where the ward keeps getting between me and the saurians (looking at you, Adaro!  )Where do we see the comment for our pawns? Mine was rented out by about five people at once judging by the last set of gifts I got, and I didn't see any option to look at the comments or ranks; none showed up on their own either.

Just finished with the Altar quest finally. A few levels and knowledge of how to deal with them made those lizardmen way easier. Except those chameleon guys, those are assholes! Only two really bad parts of that dungeon. One were those ghost things on the lower level. I... am not entirely sure how to actually deal with them. I guess only magic works? My arrows did nothing and my daggers couldn't reach. So I had to wait for my pawns to stop aiming their spells into pillars. And then getting poisoned, having no healing items, which meant having the two mages in my party spamming their healing spells at me. Which... y'know, good under normal circumstances, really bad indoors on narrow platforms over water! Looking at my quests, there's nothing really interesting I want to go for next, so I may wander the lands for awhile. See if I can't run across some big monsters. Valmiro's still not around, so I've decided the quest is bugged or something. Dude is nowhere in the area he should be. Would it be worth it changing my main pawn mage into a sorcerer? Or should I keep him as a mage? Losing the healing spell would kinda suck, especially since I just got the upgraded version. The sorcerer's Miasma spell worth the trade-off?

There's a certain place when you get your pawn back where you hit "x" to see details, and you can go over what your pawn learned and how they were rated. Note: this does not seem to always work, and sometimes it just won't show any of that information.

Yeah this happens to me a lot. Just about every time I rest at an inn I get a bunch of gifts, but only occasionally does it show me who hired my pawn or the ratings/messages. I dunno what's up with that.

If I'm trying to make my main pawn be a healer/buffer should so just stay as a mage? It seems like all I have available now to buy at around mage level 5 or 6 is combat spells and I don't want to dilute the AI's skillset and waste DP if eventually I'll be able to buy more healer stuff.

I've advanced a little bit into the game now, and have a quick question about a quest I know exists but can't get started. After I left the Encampment to follow the hydra head, some dude came up to me and said that Quina, that soppy bird from the beginning, had gone missing. But I decided to bugger off and do other stuff, and went back to the starting town later, only now I can't start the quest to find her. Any hints?

Are the Cassardis quests good worth going back and getting for a level 25ish character? I completely missed them and I'm wondering if I should go back and get them. But I only just got around to starting Ser Maximillions Wyrm Hunter quests after getting dragged all over the loving map on those escort and grimoire quests and even the Wyrm Hunter quests are feeling a little on the easy side since I took so long to get to them. e: also what's all this talk I keep reading about the blacksmith and giving him idols to get access to better equipment. Does this require a quest? Are you talking about the blacksmith in Gran Soren with the sick kid who wants wakestones? If so do I have to give him some to get access to him? And is the idol exchange for better loot access something to works with other vendors or just him? I know there's a dude up by the great wall fort who sells expensive stuff as well, does the blacksmith get better stuff than him? -Blackadder- fucked around with this message at 23:32 on May 25, 2012 |

Traveling around last night fighting harpies when I finally figured out how to ride them around. Eventually I kamakazied onto a nearby cyclops that decided to join the fun and landed on his back, who then proceeded to body slam me into oblivion. This game is officially my favorite game on the 360. AlSO! sorry to Shardok for ignoring the party request. My old headset broke and I don't have a gold membership so I never bothered to grab a new one so I figured it would have been kinda useless to party up.

You can find Quina again at the abbey in wilted forest, but you missed out on your introduction to witchwood and meeting the witch. I think the witch gives out quests later on but I can't say for sure because I completely missed her my first playthrough. Also, something I just found out is that you don't use any stamina when you're directly on top of an enemy that you're climbing.

When does the Swordsman armor and weapon become available? I saw a level 34 pawn walk by me in it and my pawn and I are level 36. Though, I haven't done much of the "main" quest. I left it sitting at having an audience with the Duke. Do merchants get it at a certain plot point or do I find it in the world? It's just too cool looking not to get. Plus, you know, Berserk.

There's a merchant outside who gives you a quest to clean it out. Complete it, then go inside and find him. Save your gold, it costs nearly 400k for the complete set.

Bahaha, PLAYING as a max short+fat character is hilarious. edit: I ran out of stamina sprinting (when you're max short and fat, you move ridiculously slowly when not sprinting) and my pawn said, "please, don't overdo it!" coyo7e fucked around with this message at 00:00 on May 26, 2012 |

Anyone know when/where to "trigger" the Nameless Terror quest? I got the little cutscene showing some dudes watching me and the quest is in my log, but I went over there and nothing happened. This was like 10 hours ago and I've completely forgotten about it until I just went through my quest log again. Is there a certain time/place that I'm supposed to run to in order to trigger whatever is supposed to happen?

Dear God. This game. So I'm travelling at night right outside of Gran Soren and I decide to simply cross the river because it'll cut down on my travel time. Halfway through the river, the water goes waist high extinguishing my lantern and then I'm ambushed by lizardmen; complete with the quest title. You have not experienced sheer terror of fighting in pure darkness with the only light you get is from the occasional magic spell. I think the only reason why I even survived that encounter was because I'm an assassin with all the night buffs. That fight lasted so long and it was honestly the first one where I had to chomp on my stamina regens because I needed to seriously keep moving and attacking. I had no idea if there was a rude dude behind ready to penetrate me with his spear.  wait...

What all carries over when you change vocations? I *think* it's any augments will carry over, cores never do, and any combat skills that are shared between the two will carry over. Correct?

The one thing this game utterly fails at that Demons/Dark Souls beats the living crap out of it at is showing off the deadliness and differentiation visually. Level 2 chump bandits look exactly like level 40 death-to-you-swiftly bandits. In Dark Souls the higher level skeleton guys were loving red or black and had mean looks about them. These guys look just as pansy as their lower level counterparts.

I think it happens after you complete the audience with the duke quest. I just guess that because that quest deactivates a bunch of side quests and sets the story forward basically.

I think the witch gives out quests later on but I can't say for sure because I completely missed her my first playthrough. I missed her at the start too because I just went straight to the fort. I have never been able to do any quests involving her or the witch since, and I am sure I have missed quite a few quests due to that. For those just starting the game make sure you do all the quests there before you move onwards to the fort, as you can permanently miss quests. Now for a random aside, is there any way to procure the nuns outfit for yourself? I would love to turn my mystic knight into a Battle Nun

Oh, hey, you can find lizardmen basking in the sun sometimes.  Came across a bunch of them by the river and it was nice and peaceful until Beardface woke them up. And I was riding one of those bulls for a bit until Beardface blew it up with fireballs. I guess he just hates wildlife.I thought Tusk Toss was great earlier. Antler Toss is even better. Hope there's another upgrade.

For the grimoire quest, where am I supposed to go? I've talked to the herbalist woman and I've had a quest marker show up on the world map a few times but never found anything when I've gone there. I've heard my pawns say things like "which bandits have the grimoire?" and "sounds like Maul has the grimoire" or something but have no idea what these are in reference to. Where is the "south" where the thieves guilds are? Also, was the Quina/Selene quest a story one or just a billboard thing? I never went back to Cassardis to get it but have since dealt with both of them in escort quests: I took Selene to the healing springs but now she still just lies on the floor of her witch hut, and I took Quina to the prayer falls and now she appears to be a nun but also talks about how she couldn't find the witch to learn more about my scar?

So I'm considering getting the DLC for more quests (even though I pretty much already have plenty) I was wondering if anyone who has can talk a bit about how the quests and how their setup for level ranges and what not? (I'm level 26 if that matters). e: Also for anyone other mages out there like me constantly on the look out for gear that doesn't look ridiculous, I found a Dire Wolf Hide Pelt at the end of the catacombs that's pretty cool looking no idea if it's decent or not statwise as I'm still running around in my old rags. But I look like a fierce nordic sorcerer instead of a sissy robe wearing one so I'll hang on to it for a while. e2: Anyone come across a quest called something like "Hobble the Foe" it's supposed to be obtained from the encampment and net a nice expensive selling hammer. Anyone done this one or know who to talk to for it? -Blackadder- fucked around with this message at 01:12 on May 26, 2012 |

It can be tough to find one with the right mix because it is not obvious how to get those traits from character creation or the question and answer sessions. The best way to do it is to buy the potions from the Rift crystal merchant at the encampment, but most people don't know about that yet.
