Gyffles? Gyffles??!

I'd say, NO KNIGHT. Any experience he gets will detract from your mages' advancement.

What's so boring about a new party? You've only been through the game once, you can't have gotten bored with its charms. I assure you, you won't remember where every little switch and solution is.

Sh*t, I've played through REPEATEDLY and struggle in places.. esp the damned House of Tricks...

It's not the fact that it's so boring; it's the fact that it's just so tough going through it all over again and having to die and come back and do it again. lol

So SAVE / RELOAD often.

Gyffes, sorry man, misspelled. You know what is so frustrating? I've seen K's of gold, magit items +5 of int., adamantium (or how it's called) wear... Starting a new game and seeing items like AC +1, having 50pts of int, 30hp and being often killed with a simple gnome... Hard... And... So frustrating... Ah!

gyffes

(I know it was a typo.. I was jus' teasin'...)

But for me, that's part of the excitement. When you're level 19 and you SELL a +6 AC boot that gives +7 END because you have something BETTER, there's not a lot of joy in that.

But when you're EXCITED to find a HELMET. A plain, ordinary helmet -- that's sweet. And when you add to that the crown with +1 int!? And find an amulet in a cheap armory that will increase INT 3 for $300 gold!? WHOA! Except, now you have to balance that purchase against the reality that that $300 will buy you 7 mana potions. Ooooh. can do a lot of damage with that. Or 20 some-odd arrows.

That's where the fun, for me, comes in: tryin' to get a party to grow and succeed with minimal resources. The terror of fighting those damned Bartender Catacomb spiders, the first time. Or when I was cleaning out the gnomes and the damned gnome captain took nearly my entire health bar in one stroke and I hadda flee in shamed terror? Brilliant.

Didn' recapture that sense of fear until the first time I entered the Bartender's house in REVENGE and BOTH guys in my back row died > BAM BAM < -- some 200 hp EACH gone in a stroke. Reduced me to a gibbering fool and for a moment -- just a moment, because I had so many RAISE DEAD scrolls by then -- I'd recaptured the excitement of a new party setting out in a dangerous world, underarmored, under weapond and totally unready to face the wolves and bandits of the great forest.

Compared with that, what's a couple of liches and firelords??

Gyffes, you are right... Can you write how did you suceed?

gyffes

You mean describe the process?

Save often. Reload from save if you must. Don't try and fight toe-to-toe with the bad guys: you won't win. At least not often.

Save every penny, use it wisely. ONLY BUY MANA POTIONS. There's no point in getting anything else.

As soon as you can, get into King's Aide. You'll have access to a lot more money an' stuff (esp in the barrels) and to the level 5 mage and level5 battlemage in the Inn, there.

But the beginning... that's just slow, careful gaming. And different tactics than you've used to date.

Enjoy!

This is the same thing that I was alluding to in and earlier post. Most people who play Legacy don't want to go back and start a new party and have to go all the way back through the game. gyffes, you, cat, myself and a few others enjoy the game so much we don't mind going back and trying different party configurations; just to see how far we can get with that party.

Now you are talking - you sound like a real shopper at last!

ok Gyffes time to ask for some serious advice based on what you were saying a few days ago about allocating points. I am now in the Ancient Tower store having bypassed the teleporters and am about to face some serious enemies (I know because I died and reloaded). My trusty number two, Ohara the sexy swordsmaster, has also just been moved up to level 17. Before I saw your advice I would have just followed the Legacy help advice and gone for as much dex as possible. What do you think I should do? He is currently at str 20, dex 49 (with a few enhancements), end 14 and int 8 (neither me nor Ohara are very bright but I think you probably guessed that!) How would you allocate the points? Ketiara and Asmodeus are not far off 17 either - that will make her really insufferable and smug. I might need to send her to Mabs Irish pub.

OHARA SEXY? Jesus Christ! I remember his face, better change him to Tran-Kna-Pa!! OMG!... All points should go to dex, then to endurance.. Ohara sexy! Oh My God

He's like a younger Indiana Jones. Then again we have been in an ancient tower together for five days! He is certainly an improvement on Lord Bregannan who I set off with. I will leave you to your fantasies about Tran Kna Pa - but thanks for the advice about dex and endurance.
