This guide is written for the 360 version specifically, however all information should be equally relevant to the PC version. With the release of Divinity II: Flames of Vengeance (FoV) and the Dragon Knight Saga (DKS; a compilation of Ego Draconis and FoV), some information in this guide may be either outdated or incomplete. DKS specifically changed a lot about the game. For those playing either FoV or DKS, please refer to the DKS version of this guide. This guide contains all sorts of random information about the game that doesn't fit a guide of its own. It covers a broad range of topics, all of which can be seen in the table of contents (located right below this section). THIS GUIDE DOES CONTAIN SPOILERS! It doesn't go out of its way to list spoilers, however, names of people, places, quests, and other such topics are used freely and without spoiler warnings. Note: Information on mindreading and its benefits is scattered throughout the guide in relevant sections. Ctrl+F is your friend when checking what effect a specific mindread will have. ======================================================== ========================================================================== TABLE OF CONTENTS ========================================================================== ======================================================== 1: Notes about the game and guide 1.1 - Character stats 1.2 - Equipment 1.3 - Different types of loot 1.4 - Using this guide 1.5 - Respawning enemies and maximizing EXP 2: Unique equipment 2.1 - Table of contents 2.2 - Melee weapons 2.3 - Shields 2.4 - Ranged weapons 2.5 - Armor 2.6 - Jewelry 3: Equipment sets 3.1 - Aleroth Archmage set 3.2 - Hunter set 3.3 - Scorpion set 3.4 - Ulthring's set 4: DLC equipment sets 4.1 - Blood Echelon set 1 4.2 - Blood Echelon set 2 4.3 - Defenders of Aleroth set 1 4.4 - Defenders of Aleroth set 2 4.5 - Rivellon Guards 4.6 - Wild Dwellers set 1 4.7 - Wild Dwellers set 2 5: Dragon armor sets 5.1 - Bone Dragon set 5.2 - Chainmail Dragon set 5.3 - Crystal Dragon set 5.4 - Plate Dragon set 6: Bonus skill points 7: Bonus stat points 8: Dragon skill points 9: Battle Tower platform operators 9.1 - Skill Trainers 9.1.1 - Kenneth 9.1.2 - Hermosa 9.2 - Alchemists 9.2.1 - Allan 9.2.2 - Barbatos 9.3 - Enchanters 9.3.1 - Wesson 9.3.2 - Radcliff 9.4 - Necromancers 9.4.1 - Jonelath 9.4.2 - Igor 10: Monster Log 11: Traders and shops 12: Books 13: Quest items 14: Valuable mindreads 15: Malachite gems 16: Skills 16.1 - Priest skills 16.2 - Mage skills 16.3 - Warrior skills 16.4 - Ranger skills 16.5 - Dragon Slayer skills 16.6 - Dragon skills 17: Title list 18: Rare, special, and (often) useless items 18.1 - Consumables 18.2 - Other 19: Various lists 19.1 - Ore vein contents 19.2 - Rarity properties 19.3 - Divine charms 19.4 - Stone's Fortress Greenery spring 19.5 - Enchantments, potions, and levels 19.6 - EXP Table 20: Enchantments and Potions 20.1 - Weapon enchantments 20.2 - Armor enchantments 20.3 - Jewelry enchantments 20.4 - Potion formulas 21: FAQ 22: Contact information 23: Credits 24: Version history 25: Boilerplate ======================================================== ========================================================================== *1* NOTES ABOUT THE GAME AND GUIDE ========================================================================== ======================================================== This section covers various notes about the guide, as well as basics about the game itself that are necessary to understand parts of this guide. ===================================== 1.1 - CHARACTER STATS ===================================== These are the stats your character has, and how they work. ---------------- POINT STATS ---------------- Points encompasses various vitals: Hitpoints, Mana, and Experience. There is no known maximum for any of these stats. EXP goes into millions, and HP/MP can go well into the thousands with no end in sight. HITPOINTS (HP) are your life. When they reach zero, you die, and must reload from a previous save. This stat can be raised by leveling up, increasing your Vitality stat, or directly from buffs on equipped items. Although a lot of HP will help you survive, keep in mind your natural regeneration rate is the ONLY percentage-based recovery method based on your max HP. Ways to heal HP: -Natural regeneration, based on the sum of your Strength stat's regen, Regenerate skill, and Healing Aura jewelry enchantments, plus innate 0.30% regen. (percentage-based) -Food and potions of Healing and Rejuvenation. (set amount) -Healing skill. (set amount) -Life Leech skill (percentage-based on damage dealt) MANA (MP) is your magical reserve. This is used to cast spells and use skills from any class of skills, not just priest and mage. Having it hit zero just means you cannot use most skills! As with HP, only natural regeneration will heal based on a percentage of max MP, and not a set amount. There IS a skill to recover MP based on your maximum HP, though! Ways to recover MP: -Natural regeneration based on the sum of your Intelligence stat's regen and innate 0.30% regen. (percentage-based) -Drinks and potions of Revitalizing and Rejuvenation. (set amount) -Mana Leech skill. (percentage-based on damage dealt) -Life Tap skill. (percentage-based on maximum HP) EXPERIENCE (EXP) is your experience. This determines your character level, which plays a large part in how much damage you deal and take. Unlike the other two, this won't go down, and does not need to be "recovered." See the EXP tables in section 19.6 for information on how much EXP is required for each level. Mindreading adds its EXP cost to your EXP debt, which all EXP goes towards before applying to your next level. The Wisdom skill increases EXP gained from all sources. ---------------- VITAL STATS ---------------- These are your main five stats, the ones you have direct control over raising. Each level gives 4 points to be distributed over any of these stats as you see fit. Equipment has minimum stat requirements to use. 100 is the maximum for any of these stats. The bonus for each point of the stat are listed below. VITALITY: Your life force and constitution. +7 to Hitpoints SPIRIT: Your magical potential and reserves. +7 to Mana STRENGTH: Your physical power. +0.5% to Melee Damage +0.4 Melee Armor Points +0.006% to natural HP regeneration +1 to Conditioned Body DEXTERITY: Your reflexes and speed. +0.5% to Ranged Damage +0.4 to Ranged Armor Points +1 to Heightened Reflexes INTELLIGENCE: Your mental and magical power. +1% to Magic Damage (affects both spell AND weapon magic damage) +0.4 to Magic Armor Points +0.006% to natural Mana regeneration +1 to Indomitable Will ---------------- ATTACK AND DEFENSE ---------------- These are stats that affect your damage output and intake. These are heavily augmented by, if not based on your current equipment. Maximum damage is not known, but goes above 1000. Resistances max out at 66.00%. WEAPON DAMAGE: This shows the base damage range for your equipped weapon. Melee or Ranged Damage is listed on the left, while Magic Damage is listed in purple to the right of it. If a melee weapon is readied, the first is Melee damage, while with a bow, it is Ranged. Strength or Dexterity (based on weapon equipped) increase the first (or only) number, while Intelligence increases Magic Damage (if any at all). MELEE RESISTANCE, RANGED RESISTANCE, MAGIC RESISTANCE: The percentage of damage from attacks of the corresponding type that you resist. A melee resist of 50% means you take half the melee damage you would at 0%. The stat is shown in percentage, but all increases occur in the form of vague, undefined "points," with one point equaling much less than 1% of resistance, and decreasing in value the higher the resistance is. Resistance from stats is different than from armor. Each point gained from equipped armor is worth a full point, thus an armor that gives +5 to Melee Resistance gives a full 5 points. Each point in a stat is worth 40% of an armor point (or 0.4 of an armor point). Five stat points would have the same effect as 2 armor points (so that +5 Melee Resist armor is 20 Strength worth of defense). ---------------- OTHER ---------------- Three stats remain, and these three are directly affected by Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence. All three serve a specific purpose, and cap at 75%. CONDITIONED BODY: This stat is governed by Strength, with each point increasing it by 1%. The conditioned body stat reduces the duration of time various statuses affect you, such as Bleed, Burn, Poiton, and Polymorph. The damage done per second and chance of being afflicted are not affected. HEIGHTENED REFLEXES: This stat is goverened by Dexterity, with each point increasing it by 1%. Heightened reflexes is additional damage dealt when you score a critical hit. A critical will deal 150% normal damage by default, and your Reflex increases it further according to this formula: (150 * HR%)%. A HR of 10% will therefore have criticals deal 165% normal damage. A maximum HR (75%) will cause criticals to deal 263% of normal damage. INDOMITABLE WILL: This stat is goverened by Intelligence, with each point increasing it by 1%. The indomitable will stat determines your resistance to Curse, Fear, Polymorph, Ranger Surprise, and Stun statuses. It only affects your resistance to being afflicted initially, though, and will do nothing to shorten the time they last, or reduce the effect they have if the check fails. ===================================== 1.2 - EQUIPMENT ===================================== Equipment has several components which come together to form the final piece. These stats are listed in order as they appear on the actual items. One point to be aware of: Unique is an equipment rarity in the game, however this guide uses it to mean pieces of equipment that are special in some way, and not randomly-generated (at least not entirely). The phrase "Unique rarity" denotes when an actual item of that rarity is being discussed. ---------------- BASE STATS ---------------- The base stats of a particular piece of equipment never change. These stats encompass the item type, the melee/ranged/magic damage or resist, critical chance (for weapons), and level and stat requirements. Every single Elite Noble Helmet, Regular Army Cuirass, and Light Magical Death Sword will always have the same base stats. Critical Rate is determined by weapon type: -Melee weapons: 5% -Bows (type 1): 7% -Bows (type 2): 12% Special weapons (listed in sections 2.2 and 2.4) may have higher critical rates. The Butcher enchantment, despite its description, increases critical RATE, not damage. ---------------- SET BONUS ---------------- This appears in green right under the level/stat requirements. This is only for pre-defined equipment sets, found in the flying fortresses, or as DLC. The majority of equipment will not have this entry. DLC sets usually have three pieces: a weapon, body armor, and another armor (helmet, gauntlets, leggings). Set bonuses for the DLC sets require all pieces to be equipped to have the benefit. ---------------- BUFFS ---------------- These are bonuses to stats and skills that appear in blue right under the level and stat requirements (unless part of a pre-defined set). These provide a bonus to the listed stats, and can include: Hitpoints, Mana, Vitality, Spirit, Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Melee/Ranged/Magic Damage, Critical Chance, Melee/Ranged/Magic Resistance, Conditioned Body, Heightened Reflexes, Indomitable Will, or any skill. Melee/Ranged/Magic Damage buffs and Critical Chance buffs only appear on weapons. Critical Chance buffs are very rare. Melee/Ranged/Magic Resistance buffs and Conditioned Body, Heightened Reflexes, and Indomitable Will buffs only appear on armor. All listed except Melee and Ranged Resistance will appear on jewelry as well. Skill bonuses only appear randomly on jewelry. Weapons and armor will only have skill bonuses if they are unique (and pre-determined to have that bonus). Skill bonuses are very rare, and the higher the skill's level, the higher the price will be. Unique equipment without randomly generated buffs and enchantments will always have the exact same buffs each time. Unique equipment with randomly generated buffs and a skill bonus will always have the skill bonus; only the other buffs are randomized. If multiple buffs of a single stat are present (due to two or more buffs rolling the same stat randomly), it is compounded into a single buff, except much larger than usual. E.g., two +1 Strength buffs would appear as +2 Strength, not +1 Strength and +1 Strength. Multiple skill bonuses to the same skill will NOT stack like this, however, and will appear as 2 (or more) +1s to the skill. The skill WILL still get the +2, however. ---------------- CHARM SLOTS ---------------- Charms are one-use items that provide a small additional stat boost. An item's rarity affects the potential charm slots indirectly. The number of possible charm slots is based on the number of random buffs. Uncommon and Rare have one buff, and therefore 0 or 1 charm slot. Magical has 2 buffs and 2 potential charm slots, Heroic 3, and Legendary 4. The charm slots are not evenly distributed, though. 0 and 1 slots occur much more often than 2, and 3 are almost impossible to get on Heroic (and rare on Legendary). 4 on Legendary is practically unheard of (thousands of attempts may see ONE item with 4 slots). Epic and Unique rarity items have 5 buffs, and therefore theoretically could have 5 charm slots, but this is probably much rarer than a Legendary item with 4, so don't count on it. Epic and Unique may have a slightly higher chance of having 4 slots than a Legendary item, however. Unique equipment with random buffs have the potential charm slots based on the number of RANDOM buffs. Skill bonuses that are pre-determined do NOT count towards this. Unique equipment without random buffs have all facets of the item, including charm slots, entirely pre-set, however. Once added, CHARMS ARE PERMANENT. They appear on the item in bright yellow, below the buff list. The charm's effects are also added to the buff list, and if the charm increases a stat a buff is already present for, it will add the charm into it (a +1 Strength charm on an item which already has +2 Strength would change it to +3 Strength, as per the rules noted in the Buff section). Charms have five levels: Lesser, Minor, Major, Blessed, and Divine. All except Divine may eventually be purchased. Divine charms are only from pre-defined sources, listed in section 19.3. ---------------- ENCHANTMENT SLOTS ---------------- Enchantments are special effects that can be added or removed from equipment at an Enchanter. Any random item with enchantment slots that start out filled have them randonized based on your character level. Enchantment slots are separate from all the other stats. A damage-boosting enchantment will not show up in the Buff list, unlike Charms. They are shown in beige. Note that unique equipment with random enchantments (such as Champion David's Gauntlets) will have the enchantments based on the item's level, NOT your character's. This can lead to the item having better enchantments than you could have at the moment (this is often the case with Amdusias' Regular Noble Helmet, which is Lv18 in the Maxos Temple). The only time that fact is particularly useful is with the Bow of Tiberius in the Orobas Fjords, a reward for finishing all five bounty quests there. This item can randomly have level 10 enchantments, including Increased (Magical) Damage and Butchery, which normally would require a malachite gem (in very limited supply) to enchant yourself. The number of enchantment slots is entirely pre-determined. Unique equipment will be pre-set whether or not the enchantment slots start filled or empty. All random equipment, except common- and uncommon-rarity items, will have one filled slot. Only unique equipment may have two or three enchantment slots. Unique-rarity equipment (different from unique equipment) has three slots. ---------------- FLAVOR TEXT ---------------- Some unique items have flavor text in a lavender font, appearing below the Enchantments. This IS just flavor text, and has no effect on anything. Interestingly, the majority of equipment with this are ones given away as part of missions. ===================================== 1.3 - DIFFERENT TYPES OF LOOT ===================================== Many chests in the game are set with certain categories of items that will appear within. Although some chests (often mentioned in this guide) contain specific items (unique items, dragon armor, quest items, and so forth), most are randomly generated, but from only a few types of item. This is a list of the basic sets and what they are comprised of. If you reload to check a chest multiple times, this will give a good way of knowing what all can be gotten. 1: The Basics: -Gold -Gems, herbs, ore -Weapons and armor (normal or uncommon) -Formulas -Potions -Charms -Books 2: The Armory: -Weapons and armor (rare and higher, may be based on chest or character level) -Gems 3: The Jeweler: -Uncommon jewelry (dark brown jewelry boxes) -Rare or higher jewelry (other Jeweler-class chests) 4: Formulaic: -Formulas -Potions -Herbs -Nothing (rare, but sometimes these chests ARE empty) 5: Bellegar's Purse -Gems, ore -Jewelry (rare or higher) -Charms 6: Scorpion Hunter of the Aleroth Archmage -The corresponding piece of the item set -Potions -Gems -Formulas 7: The Macabre (Corpses) -Gold -Gems, herbs, ore -Weapons and armor (normal rarity) -"Remains of" body parts ===================================== 1.4 - USING THIS GUIDE ===================================== This guide uses several other pieces of terminology that may not be immediately obvious. This is a quick list of things that will help better sort through directions, instructions, and other such things. ---------------- CHESTS AND CONTAINERS ---------------- Chests come in several varieties, and knowing which chest you're looking for can help when searching for a specific item. This describes each chest I refer to throughout the guide. Plain Wooden Chest: These are the most common type, basically long, flat-top wooden chests. I'd wager a good 85-90% of chests in the game are this type. Rounded Wooden Chest: This looks a bit more treasure chest-like. It is still low and wooden, but the top is rounded, instead of flat. Looks a bit more ornate than the plain wooden chest. Medium Wooden Chest: This chest is between the rounded and large wooden chests in size. It looks like a conventional treasure chest, with a rounded top, and much more even proportions. Large Wooden Chest: This looks like a stereotypical treasure chest. It is large, dark brown, and looks rather ornate compared to the plain wooden chest. Golden Chest: The golden chest looks like the large wooden chest, but is gold and purple in color. This chest is extremely obvious by the name alone. Small Chest: Small chests (or lockboxes) are tiny chests that are closer to a box than a chest. These are rare, however. Jewelry Box: These are dark brown flat boxes, usually sitting on tables, found throughout the game. They pretty much always contain a jewelry item of uncommon rarity. Coin Purse: A small yellow purse with gold inside. One may think this would hold gold, but it often may contain other items. Common ones are single gems, jewelry items, and charms, although some specific ones may contain other items, such as weapons or armor. Corpses: These are bloody corpses scattered in various places. They only contain necromancer body parts (the "remains of" variety, not ghoul, goblin, or dragon elf), single herbs, gems, or ore, normal rarity equipment of an appropriate level, or gold. This one is quite obvious and sometimes are used as landmarks to give directions from. ===================================== 1.5 - RESPAWNING ENEMIES AND MAXIMIZING EXP ===================================== As is well-known, enemies do not respawn. This means there is technically a maximum amount of experience points that can be gained in the course of the game. However, there is one particular loophole (two, actually) that allow not only respawning enemies, but full EXP for them! Normally, respawning enemies (and summoned ones) do not give any EXP or drops. However, in two locations (Keara's Headquarters and the Ministry of Aleroth building), enemies can respawn and give full EXP. ---------------- KEARA'S FLYING FORTRESS ---------------- Note: A high level Explosive Arrows skill (level 10+) is HIGHLY recommended to explot this glitch. Anything else will severely slow down your EXP gain potential. In Keara's flying fortress, inside her Headquarters there is a door that requires naming five statues to open. If you tell the door you have named them when you haven't, it will refuse to open, and respawn ALL enemies in the Headquarters area. This makes it easy to run a full circuit through the maze (there is a full circuit that allows killing most enemies, and three very quick side trips will let you kill each one). Once back at the door, talk to it again and lie, and the enemies return once again. The enemies are level 26 Walking Armors and level 28 Fire Skeletons. Both can be of warrior or ranger varieties, and which ones appear are random. For most levels above 32, the Walking Armors give approximately half of the EXP the Fire Skeletons do. These enemies not only give full EXP each time they respawn, but also drop items. They normally drop normal or uncommon weapons and armor, lesser or minor rank charms, and gold (usually around 200). This also makes this an infinite source of gold, although the rate at which gold is gained means the amount will be rather insignificant. This may take a while, since in the mid 30's, enemies tend to give 100 to 200 EXP apiece, but it doesn't take as long as it seems. Level 38 is about as high as can be reasonably achieved like this. If you max out Wisdom (to Lv15, for a 30% EXP increase), and leave the majority of quests in the Fjords (and several structures like Goblin catapults and Ballista/Nest/Wizard towers in various fortresses), the quests and structures EXP will likely be enough to push you from Lv38 to 40 (that would require around 300,000 EXP). There is over 500,000 EXP from static sources to be had in the Fjords (assuming max Wisdom), so exploit this to its fullest! Note that in one specific room (a green-tinted room with two statues), enemies will "stack" if the respawn is triggered multiple times before approaching the room. This will lead to dozens of enemies stacked on their spawn point (the room normally has two groups of three enemies). This can be exploited for faster EXP gain. Note the red teleporters; stepping on one will teleport you to the locked door, and stepping on that one takes you back to the last one you used (next to a statue). This can be used to transport between the green room and the door quickly! Talk to the door multiple times in a row (don't bother killing the nearby enemies in between). Then kill the nearby enemies after taking to it 6 or 7 times (any more and the stacking may not work). Teleport to the green room, kill everyone (this is where Explosive Arrows truly shines), then teleport back and repeat. This earns EXP at a much higher rate than normal circuits. Be sure to pick up all dropped items each time, as I have observed that too many loot bags sitting around inhibits the stacking effect that makes this such a rich EXP source. ---------------- MINISTRY OF ALEROTH ---------------- In the Ministry of Aleroth, letting enemies attack Zandalor will reset the timer for the portal closing. This causes more and more enemies to spawn, which can be killed for extra EXP. This is inferior to Keara's fortress, since the EXP comes slower, and it is annoying to make sure Zandalor is attacked each time Additionally, you cannot leave between levels to visit shops, which limits your ability to buy good equipment and charms each level. You get two chances at this: 1: Closing the first two portals (on the second floor). 2: Closing the final portals (on the first floor). In between these two segments, you have time to go to a shop, but once one is started, the only way to leave is to finish it. ======================================================== ========================================================================== *2* UNIQUE EQUIPMENT ========================================================================== ======================================================== Unique equipment covers all items (weapons, armor, jewelry) that may be found which are unique in some way. This is either a special equipment type altogether, properties that make it unique (especially skill boosts on weapons or armor), and so forth. The obtained entry lists where and how the item is acquired. The lost entry lists when (and if) the item is taken from your possession. The full name, including titles, of each item is in parentheses next to the basic name (shown in the item list). If an item has open slots, it will list the default title. If the starting properties are random, it will list the title as variable. If no titled name is listed, it does not and cannot have titles. NONE OF THESE ITEMS HAVE A RARITY, such as uncommon, rare, magical, heroic, or legendary. For a few particular items, the lack of a rarity is the ONLY defining feature that makes them unique. Note that there seem to be two main types of special equipment: 1: Those with EMPTY enchantment slots! Equipment with enchantment slots that start empty seem set in stone, and will be the same every single time. They start out with a title that, while it has a suffix, does not have the enchantment to go along with it. 2: Those with FILLED enchantment slots! Equipment with filled enchantment slots seem to have their buffs and number of charm slots randomized when obtained. Their enchantments are also random, but the number of slots is pre-determined. Unlike random equipment in shops and chests, the enchantments are based on the ITEM'S level. For these items, the range of potential buffs are also listed (for example, "Main stats: 1 - 2" means that one random buff could be to Vitality, Spirit, Strength, Dexterity, or Intelligence, and be a bonus of +1 or +2). Items marked with the "Cannot be sold, stored, or destroyed" notice do NOT count towards your inventory limit! These are essentially quest items that also have an actual function as opposed to inventory space hogs that you can get suckered into forever. The Mindread entry lists whoever is required to mindread to access the item. Whether they give it to you, it causes it to appear, or leads to acquiring the item later, the important thing is WHO. If no mindread is listed, none is required. ===================================== 2.1 - TABLE OF CONTENTS ===================================== MELEE WEAPONS: -Alberic's 'My First Mace' (choose the

These provide a bonus for using multiple pieces of the same set. The more pieces, the bigger each individual piece's bonus. The flying fortresses often have several islands overlapping, or different levels of ground on a single island. These are referred to as "tiers." For example, Raze's fortress has the southern part with the entrance portal, the northern Headquarters part, and an easter and western three-tier part. The low tier is the one closest to the bottom, near the level with the portal. The highest is on the same altitude as the Headquarters teleporter. These are key for giving directions to the pieces of the sets. A minimum of two pieces of a set must be equipped to get any bonus. The bonuses for equipping multiple pieces of a set are listed in order, starting with the bonus for two pieces. For example, Ulthring's Cuirass lists +8/+12/+16 Melee Armor Rating. This means the cuirass provides an additional bonus of +8 (on top of all other effects) to Melee Armor when two pieces are equipped, +12 with three, and +16 with all four. The Archmage, Hunter, and Scorpion sets work differently from most unique items. They start with filled enchantment slots, but none of their buffs, charm slots, or actual enchantments are random. They are all pre-determined. ===================================== 3.1 - ALEROTH ARCHMAGE SET ===================================== Class: Mage Full set bonus: Gauntlets: +12% to Vitality Helmet: +12% to Intelligence Leggings: +13 to Indomitable Will Armor: +12% to Spirit Belt: +70 to Mana Amulet: +13 to Magic Armor Rating Earrings: +13 to Melee Armor Rating Bracelet: +13 to Ranged Armor Rating Ring: +70 to Hitpoints Weapon: +26 to Magic Damage "Unique and incredibly powerful, the pieces of this set were fashioned by Aleroth's first Archmage: the famed Mardaneus.

With the release of Dragon Knight Saga, it appears that all DLC for the Xbox 360 version of Ego Draconis has been taken off of the Marketplace, and is thus unavailable. The only exception is the Rivellon Guards set. It is unknown to me at this point whether those who have purchased them may still download them via download history, if remaining pre-order DLC codes still work, whether there is some method planned to allow players to still obtain these sets within Ego Draconis, or whether or not PC players still have the content available. If and when I obtain this information, I will update the guide accordingly. !!!IMPORTANT NOTE!!! These sets are available as downloadable content (DLC). They are added to your inventory the next time you load a save after downloading the content. Each set costs 160 MSP ($2.00 US) on the Xbox Live Marketplace for the Xbox 360 version, or via the Games for Windows LIVE Client Software for the PC version. The items are automatically added to your inventory, which is when their random properties (buffs, charm slots, and enchantments) are decided. Their titles are determined by their random properties, as with anything randomly generated. The set bonus is +5% to the listed stat for equipping two pieces of the set, and +10% if all three are equipped. The DLC's random properties, once determined, appear to be saved to the DLC file itself. Anytime you start a new game, or load a game without that DLC, the items given will have the same stats (buffs, charm slots, and enchantments) each time. There does appear to be a way to reroll the changes, but tests were unable to determine any real rhyme or reason to how it works. Hope you get lucky! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Attack may be the best form of defense, but Dragon Slayers who spend more time in the field rather than poised over battle maps know not to take this dictum too strictly.

None of them survived, but the carnage they inflicted was of such a scale that they have become legends among the people of Rivellon and today, sparse though its numbers may be, their equipment is sought after by even the most powerful of battle mages. Magic was the Defenders' first line of attack and defense, yes, but they knew too much about war not to encase themselves in the protection of steel. Wrought by the armor smiths that would later supply the Aleroth Champions, their armors are brilliant pieces of workmanship.

For without them mankind would be doomed to fall prey to the many, many foes that threaten civilization. Dragon Slayers and Aleroth Champions may form the fists of the human military body, but the Rivellon Guards, they are the backbone. Guard armors have to be versatile as they must serve under many conditions: they must be light enough to be worn all day, but strong enough to withstand blade and arrow; flexible enough to be able to chase brigands up mountain paths and through thick forests, but up to the challenge when their wearer is ambushed by a troll or goblin raiding party.

Where settlers are found slain by the Wild Dwellers' trademark arrowheads in the shape of maple leaves, no human - or goblin for that matter - will dare to show his face ever again. Wild Dweller armor is akin in quality and semblance to the flora and fauna its wearers so fiercely guard.

They provide either a stat bonus (percentage) or a dragon skill bonus. There does not appear to be a bonus for equipping all pieces of a particular set. ===================================== 5.1 - BONE DRAGON SET ===================================== "Sturdy and almost as strong as metal, the bones of Dragons make for an excellent exoskeleton that may protect a Dragon Knight's scaly skin from being torn by wyvern claws. This use of Dragon bones, however, was viewed by most who could take the wyrm's shape as disrespectful and a desecration of their dead master's mighty remains." Claws piece: +1 to Dragon Shield skill. In the left chest of Lord Lovis' throne in the Citadel Armory. Unlocking it requires successfully completing "Lost Soul," and thus failing "In Cold Blood." Cuirass piece: +40% to Hitpoints. This is found in the Coffer chest in the bedchambers of the Battle Tower. Helmet piece: +1 to Dragon Spirit skill. Dropped by Amdusias in the Maxos Temple. Leg piece: +40% to Offense. This is found in the Coffer chest in the bedchambers of the Battle Tower. Tail piece: +1 to Dragon Polymorph skill. Found in a chest at the end of the Dark Cave (part of the "Temple of Doom" quest and dungeon in the Bandit Camp). Make sure to get this before taking the teleporter back to the Bandit Camp, or else it's lost forever! ===================================== 5.2 - CHAINMAIL DRAGON SET ===================================== "When venturing into unknown or outright hostile areas, Dragon Knights knew it couldn't hurt to wear some form of protection. Expert smiths would fashion great sets of chain mail armor for their masters, which made it safe for them to engage in combat with heftier foes." Claws piece: +1 to Dragon Spirit skill. In a large wooden chest in the Sinister Cave. This is in the room connected to the northern teleporter in the main chamber (the one lowest to the magma). Proceed partway through the platforming puzzle, and this chest is next to a different teleporter. Cuirass piece: +40% to Mana. In a large wooden chest on the scaffolding behind Svadilfari in the Red Hammer Tribe cave in the southeastern part of Orobas Fjords. Mindread Svadilfari (before killing him, obviously) to unlock it. The mindread costs 3600 EXP. Note that this item is named "Svadilfari's Dragon Armour" instead of the expected "Chainmail Dragon Cuirass." Helmet piece: +1 to Fire Sphere skill. In a large wooden chest in the Well Cave of High Hall. To access this, you must mindread Zagan the demon at the end of the Well Cave, then defeat him in dragon combat. The corridor you came in will collapse, leaving you to escape via a blue-tinted corridor near the top of the room. In this passage is the chest, IF you mindread Zagan. Leg piece: +40% to Offense. Found in a large wooden chest in the back of the Imps' Lair in Orobas Fjords, found on a cliff southeast of the entrance portal to Stone's Flying Fortress. The lair has a crude wooden hut (like those in other goblin or imp areas) outside of it, making it somewhat easier to find. Tail piece: +1 to Dragon Shield skill. Found in a large wooden chest east of Aurelius' office in the Champion Harbor building. The key to it is found in a large grain sack in the fenced- off corner of the room, past the merchant Irwin. ===================================== 5.3 - CRYSTAL DRAGON SET ===================================== "The Great War taught Dragon Knights the harsh lesson that their dominion of the skies could be challenged by the ferocious power of winged Demons. In response the Dragon Knights created prodigious armor laced with crystal that not only made them quasi-impervious to all that may harm, but also increased their already legendary might." Claws piece: +1 to Firebreath skill. In a wooden chest in the library of the Aleroth Ministry building. Cuirass piece: +40% to Hitpoints. In the chest at the end of the Mysterious Cave (Bellegar's cave) in the Orobas Fjords. All three choices must be made for evil, and not good. Helmet piece: +1 to Fire Sphere skill. This is found inside the sultry talking treasure chest in the main room of the crypt. Its three questions must be answered correctly, and you only get ONE chance at it. The correct answers are: 1: Three (skulls) 2: One health potion, two apples, one Droxlerite 3: Four (candles) Leg piece: +40% to Defense. In a large wooden chest in the middle room on the eastern side of Raze's Headquarters, in his flying fortress. It is in the northern chest in the room. Tail piece: +1 to Dragon Burst skill. In a golden chest in the main room of Rayhun's Headquarters, in the poisoned Broken Valley. ===================================== 5.4 - PLATE DRAGON SET ===================================== "From encounters with flying terrors such as airborne undead monsters grew the need for Dragon Knights to increase the protection worn in battle. Taking cue from the frequently-proven strength of plate armor worn in human shape, new armor was forged in that same tradition to fit their mightier form. Their efficacy soon quashed the hopes of necromancers who wanted to challenge the Dragons' rule of the heavens." Claws piece: +1 to Dragon Burst skill. In a golden chest in the room of Geshniz's Headquarters, where Geshniz herself is fought. The headquarters teleporter is on a cliff located near Maxos Temple, in Broken Valley. Cuirass piece: +40% to Mana. In the chest at the end of the Mysterious Cave (Bellegar's cave) in the Orobas Fjords. All three choices must be made for good, and not evil.

This is in the eastern side of the small room past the arena where Ba'al is fought. ======================================================== ========================================================================== *6* BONUS SKILL POINTS ========================================================================== ======================================================== There are a lot of bonus skill points to be had from books and mindreading, almost as many (and for many players, probably many more) as are available from leveling up. This section provides a detailed list of all available bonus points, followed by a quick list of all points total. To maximize the skill points gained from your Battle Tower servants' quests, choose Wesson as Enchanter, Barbatos as Alchemist, Jonelath as Necromancer, and Hermosa as Skill Trainer. All award 2 points, one for each quest, as opposed to their counterparts, who only award 1. The exception is Jonelath, who's quests give 3 points total, instead of Igor's 2. All skill points before the Battle Tower are missed after claiming the tower for your own. All skill points after the Battle Tower are missed once you enter the Hall of Echoes. ---------------- Skill Books (1 skill point): ---------------- Book 1 (Farglow): Atop the rock in the middle of the training area. Climb onto the large middle rock from the north side (there are rocks jutting out that form a sort of staircase up the rock). The actual jumping can still be a bit difficult, though, but getting high enough to see the book sitting there is easy. Book 2 (Broken Valley Village): In the Black Boar Pub, enter the locked door (this door requires Lockpick level 2 to pick!) on the right side of the top floor, and pick up the Strange Volume book inside. Read it, then pick up Strange Volume II from the counter at the bar. Strange Volume III is near the bookshelf on the second floor (near the banquet table where Mara is). The skill book can then be found in the fireplace. Book 3 (Broken Valley): In the Secret Passage, in the area beyond the locked wooden door (it is unlocked when Martis is rescued, or if you see him being broken out of the jail). Head straight through from the locked door and you'll then see a sharp turn left, and a spider web straight ahead. Head straight, through the web, and activate a pressure plate on the left wall. Go inside the new room, and skill book is on the floor. Book 4 (Citadel Dungeon): This is the area of Lovis' tower accessed via his Scrying Stone. If you did not use the stone before giving it to Romon, enter the church in Broken Valley Village, start "Into Thin Air," and pick up and read Romon's Notes to unlock the chamber next to the Lake Shrine. This book is obtained by activating the two pedestals (glowing purple), which create two platforms near the exit. Climb these and press the button on the wall. This will trigger four items on chains to be lowered from the ceiling. Instead of picking one of the weapons, return to the corner you started in (after using the stone), and you will see a Skill Book hanging there. Pick it up, and all the chains will rise again. THIS SKILL POINT IS GONE FOREVER IF YOU PICK ONE OF THE FOUR ITEMS ON CHAINS IN THE CENTER OF THE ROOM! Book 5 (Naberius' Storage): Mindread Naberius in his old cave west of the Chapel Shrine. Then go and collect four Parchment items from four wooden chests throughout the southeastern section of Broken Valley. Take them to ZixZax the imp (near Maxos Temple) and he will translate them, giving you the password to the odd teleporter near the Chapel Shrine. Return to it and activate it. It will teleport you to a ledge, on which you'll find Naberius' Storage. Enter, take the key from the nearby cage, open the locked door, and this skill book is waiting on the chair in the back. Book 6 (Sinister Cave): In the main chamber, take the southernmost teleporter, which is at the highest elevation of the three. In the middle of the long corridor, find a key inside a broken coffin. Then, use it to open the large wooden chest at the end of the corridor. It is near the Book of the Dead, and two piles of (lootable) corpses. Book 7 (High Hall Mines): In Mundus' second floor office in the High Hall Mines, on the left end of his desk. To get here, follow the southeastern path until you find a Troll Runekeeper. Kill it, pick up the runes, then disable the barrier on the southwestern path. Take the elevator to the second floor, and turn right after exiting. Book 8 (Red Hammer Tribe): This book is behind Groth the Storyteller's locked door. To access it, the quest "Much Ado About Goblins" must be completed. It sits on a bench near a locked wooden chest. Book 9 (Bone Burrow): Defeat the Ultimate Creature Boss enemy in Bone Burrow, found on a cliff at the southeastern corner of Orobas Fjords. This enemy can be found whether or not Jonelath is chosen, but it will only give the "quest rewards" (including the skill book) if Jonelath was chosen! Book 10 (Battle Tower): Complete the first quest for your Necromancer. Jonelath's is "Out on a Limb," and Igor's is "The Book of the Dead." It will be among the rewards. Book 11 (Battle Tower): Complete the first quest for your Enchanter. Wesson's is "Short Supply," and Radcliff's is "Delicate Affairs." It will be among the rewards. BEWARE! Radcliff counts the skill book among the rewards you must choose, and if you sell his Goblin Stone to the goblins, you cannot choose the skill book at all! Book 12 (Battle Tower): Complete the first quest for Barbatos, "Borrowed Book," if you chose him as your Alchemist. ALLAN DOES NOT AWARD THIS SKILL BOOK! Book 13 (Battle Tower): Complete the first quest for Hermosa, "Dear John," if you chose her as your Skill Trainer. KENNETH DOES NOT AWARD THIS SKILL BOOK! Book 14 (Battle Tower): Complete the second quest for your Necromancer. Jonelath's is "Risk Life for Limb," and Igor's is "Black Ring's Ring." It will be among the rewards. Book 15 (Battle Tower): Complete the second quest for Wesson, "Raging Raze," if you chose him as your Enchanter. Radcliff has no second quest, and therefore CANNOT AWARD ANOTHER SKILL BOOK! Book 16 (Battle Tower): Complete the second quest for your Alchemist. Allan's is "Wisdom in a Bottle," and Barbatos' is "An Alchemist's Apparel." It will be among the rewards. Book 17 (Battle Tower): Complete the second quest for your Skill Trainer. Kenneth's is "By the Book," and Hermosa's is "Murder for Myrthos." It will be among the rewards. Be careful, as Kenneth counts the book among the rewards you choose for the quest, so be sure to choose it! Book 18 (Hall of Echoes - Ygerna's Memory): This book is found on the floor in the entrance to Ygerna's Memory, where you enter from. It is literally right behind you after the fight starts. It is not hard to find, but be aware you'll be attacked by all the enemies in the room while you pick it up. This is the room after finishing the Arena and entering the second black orb as the dragon. ---------------- Skill point mindreads: ---------------- 2pts: ZixZax, outside of Maxos Temple in Broken Valley. Costs 800 EXP. 1pt: Island, after finishing "The Prophecy" on Sentinel Island. This is an automatic encounter after picking your servants (or entering the Battle Tower during "Breaking an Entry" without choosing them all). This is the only chance for this point! Costs 1400 EXP. 1pt: Sassan, after "Laiken in his Lair." Mindread her when she's standing on the balcony of your personal chambers in the Battle Tower. Costs 1400 EXP. 1pt: Your Skill Trainer in the Battle Tower, after "Laiken in his Lair." This is either Kenneth or Hermosa, whoever was chosen.

Costs 1400 EXP. 1pt: Lister, in front of the mine in Orobas Fjords. Your only chance is when he calls out to you first, as he dies right afterwards. Don't miss this! Costs 2400 EXP. 2pts: Zandalor, in the Ministry of Aleroth. When you first speak to him, tell him you need to prepare first, then talk to him again and mindread him.

Costs 3400 EXP. 1pt: Ba'al, in the Hall of Echoes Arena. Costs 3400 EXP. ---------------- Special skill point sources: ---------------- 1pt: During "The Farglow Connection." One point is put into Whirlwind, Poison Arrows, or Fireball, depending on choice of Warrior, Ranger, or Mage path. This point is automatically given to one of the listed skills, however it may be unlearned at a Skill Trainer. 2pts: The Ancient Journal, found on the Sentinel Island shipwreck (in a tree) during the "Legend of the Ancient Mariner." This is in a chest inside the ship, which takes dragon form to reach. Use the book from your quest item list for the points, but beware! This will destroy the book, and condemn the quest to failure! 1pt: Stone's Fortress Greenery. Obtain the herb buds from the large wooden chest in the room before the spring, then drop the Black Rose and Moonshine buds into the spring. The order doesn't matter. This skill point is rewarded for doing so. WARNING! Choosing this will prevent obtaining 5 stat points from the same source. 2pts: Rewarded for completing the Quest "Sight for Sore Eyes." Give two Malachite Gems to Simeon and as an extra bonus on top of the normal quest rewards, he will give you two skill points. Note that this is missable, as there are a limited number of Malachite Gems in the game! If you sell, use, or destroy them all and mine all Malachite Ore Veins, you CANNOT complete the quest. 5pts: The Demon Wars, a quest item book that is dropped by Kali, in the Headquarters of her flying fortress. Kenneth needs this for his second quest, "By the Book," but if Hermosa was chosen as skill trainer, the book and its skill points are yours. ---------------- Skill points quick list (47 total): ---------------- 1: "The Farglow Connection" point. Whirlwind, Poison Arrows, or Fireball. 2: Farglow, book on rock in goblin training area. 3: Broken Valley Village, book at end of the Black Boar pub book hunt. 4: Secret Passage, book on floor beyond locked door, past spider web. 5: Citadel Dungeon, one of the five items on chains to choose from. 6: Outside Maxos Temple, mindread ZixZax. 7: Outside Maxos Temple, mindread ZixZax. 8: Naberius' Storage, on a chair in the back of the room. 9: Sentinel Island, mindread Island after finishing "The Prophecy." 10: Read the Ancient Journal found during "Legend of the Ancient Mariner." 11: Read the Ancient Journal found during "Legend of the Ancient Mariner." 12: Sassan, mindread after acquiring the Battle Tower. 13: Mindread your Skill Trainer in the Battle Tower. 14: Mindread your Alchemist in the Battle Tower. 15: Mindread your Enchanter in the Battle Tower. 16: Mindread your Necromancer in the Battle Tower. 17: Orobas Fjords, mindread Lister.

These go towards boosting your five main stats: Vitality, Spirit, Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence. There are much fewer extra ones to be had, however. This is a detailed list of all available stat points, as well as a select few special sources that provide an increase to certain stats directly, instead of as points that are free to distribute as the player likes. Many mindread stat points have a very small window of opportunity, so to be safe, mindread the people the first chance possible. Mindreading is also the primary source of bonus stat points, as there are precious few Stats Books to be found. All stat points before the Battle Tower are missed after claiming the tower for your own. All stat points after the Battle Tower are missed once you enter the Hall of Echoes. ---------------- Stats Books (1 stat point): ---------------- Book 1 (Broken Valley Village): Sitting on a table in the main room of Arben's Tomb, accessed during the story quest "To Lay a Ghost to Rest." Book 2 (Champion Harbor Building): This book sits on a table inside Aurelius' office in the Champion Harbor building in the Orobas Fjords. ---------------- Stat point mindreads: ---------------- 1pt: Quincy, ONLY when he calls out to you from the guard tower outside of Broken Valley Village! If you wait until he's back in the village, his mindread becomes text-only. Costs 400 EXP. 1pt: Lomax, in Jackson's Farm, after killing Richard. ONLY if you side with him against Richard in "New Order or Champion Chaos." To start that quest, return a Goblin Heart to Richard, then when he brings up the "Feast or Famine" quest, decline it. He will run off, and you can head to Jackson's Farm to start "New Order or Champion Chaos." This point is ONLY available right after killing Richard, when Lomax thanks you. After that, he reverts to his text-only mindread form. Costs 400 EXP. 1pt: Christopher, ONLY when he is guarding the Bandit Camp (outside of the camp). Completing "Into the Bandit's Den" will prevent you from gaining this stat point, since he will be killed by the time you get to the camp. Also, giving him the Rimmer's Rum quest item will prevent obtaining this as well. Costs 800 EXP. 1pt: Tagos, in the Bandit Camp. Completing "Into the Bandit's Den" will prevent you from gaining this stat point, since Tagos will be hostile (and then dead). Costs 800 EXP. 1pt: Jenae OR Filip, whichever you side with during "Daylight Robbery." The one you side against is killed before they may be mindread. This is ONLY available right after the battle. Once back at camp, Jenae will turn into a non-dialogue NPC, whereas Filip will just plain vanish. They are mutually exclusive, and therefore essentially the same point. Costs 800 EXP. 1pt: Toshan. He is a ghost in the Citadel Dungeon of Lovis' tower. Getting there requires use of the Lovis' Scrying Stone BEFORE giving it to Romon in Broken Valley Village, because Toshan is gone if the area is unlocked via the "Into Thin Air" quest. Mindread him while he is talking to you. Costs 400 EXP. 1pt: Champion David. To get this, mindread David to open the quest "The Fugitive," then threaten to turn David in to Richard. Confirm that you will tell Richard, and David will flee. He can then be found on the mountain pass leading to the Orobas Fjords. Mindread him there and the stat point is yours. Note that once you talk to him near the Fjords, all dialogue options cause him to flee and vanish forever, so it is your only chance! 1pt: Sassan. The living version of Sassan, in the summoning circle room, after killing zombie Sassan, BUT BEFORE SUMMONING! This is the only chance for THIS specific point! Waiting until afterwards will change it to the next possible point. Costs 1400 EXP. 1pt: Sassan. This point comes from mindreading Sassan AFTER the summoning ritual, but before following Razakel to Laiken. Costs 1400 EXP. 1pt: Augustus, Champion of Aleroth. He stands in front of the ministry in the besieged city of Aleroth, reached after collecting at least one of each type of Zeppelin part (compass, crystal, and rudder). Mindread him once there. Costs 2400 EXP ---------------- Special stat point sources: ---------------- 2pts: Mindread the Librarian in Maxos Temple. You will master an ancient alphabet. Go to the room directly below the Librarian where there is a pedestal with a book atop it. Examine the pedestal and read the book, and it will give these two stat points. The mindread costs 800 EXP. 2pts: Mindread (living) Sassan when she's in the Bandit's Barracks (the corridor RIGHT before the elevator, with the Black Ore Veins). This is the only time this mindread is available! Doing this will unlock a book called Erlking's Writings in the 1st floor library of the Battle Tower. Pick this book up and read it for two stat points. You get a second momentary chance at this mindread when Sassan talks to you once you have the Soul Forge Contract. The mindread costs 700 EXP. 5pts: Stone's Fortress Greenery. Obtain the herb buds from the large wooden chest in the room before the spring, then drop the Holy Basil and Oak Tears buds into the spring. The order doesn't matter. The 5 stat points are rewarded for doing so. WARNING! Choosing this will prevent obtaining a skill point from the same source. +3 to Strength, Dexterity, or Intelligence: Complete "The Farglow Connection," and leave Farglow having chosen either the Warrior, Ranger, or Mage discipline. +1 to all five stats: After defeating Amdusias, Talana will tell you to pick up the Book of the Dragon from the blood altar nearby. Doing this is required to continue the story. Once picked up, you will be forced to read it, and after doing so, will gain a boost of +1 to all five stats (Vitality, Spirit, Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence). +5 to Intelligence: Use the Potion of Wisdom, won from Geshniz in a flying fortress. Be warned, if you chose Allan as your Alchemist, this will fail his second quest, and prevent getting the second Alchemy platform upgrade! If Barbatos was chosen, you're free to use it. ---------------- Stat points quick list (21 free points, 13 pre-determined points, 34 total): ---------------- 1: Wooden Guard Tower, mindread Quincy (only chance!). 2: Jackson's Farm, mindread Lomax after killing Richard (only chance!) 3: Village Chapel, book on a table in Lord Arben's tomb. 4: Outside Bandit's Camp, mindread Christopher. 5: Bandit's Camp, mindread Tagos. 6: Broken Valley, mindread Jenae or Filip RIGHT after "Daylight Robbery." 7: Citadel Dungeon, use Scrying Stone and mindread Toshan (only chance!). 8: Mindread David near Orobas Fjords after threatening to tell Richard. 9: From a book in the Maxos Temple library (mindread the Librarian first). 10: From a book in the Maxos Temple library (mindread the Librarian first). 11: Mindread alive Sassan in Bandit's Barracks, then read Erlking's Writings. 12: Mindread alive Sassan in Bandit's Barracks, then read Erlking's Writings. 13: Mindread alive Sassan BEFORE activating the summoning circle. 14: Mindread Sassan AFTER the summoning ritual, but before following Razakel. 15: Champion Harbor Building, book on a table in Aurelius' room. 16: Mindread General Augustus in front of the ministry in Aleroth. 17: Drop Holy Basil and Oak Tears into Stone's Greenery spring.

This is a list of all bonus dragon skill points. Unlike normal skill points, the ONLY source of dragon points are the ones listed here. None are gained for leveling up, although the dragon does start with 1 point in Fire Sphere. When skills are unlearned at the skill trainer, dragon skills are unlearned too, along with the default point in Fire Sphere. The total dragon skill points available are what is listed here plus one more, making 29 total points. Firebreath also has a point in it that, like Mindread, Encumbrabce, and the weapon skills, can never be removed. This makes 30 points out of the 35 needed to max all 7 skills. Dragon armor can give +1 to three other skills, so you can have a total of 6 skills at Lv5, and one at Lv3. All dragon skill points before the Battle Tower are missed after claiming the tower for your own. All dragon skill points after the Battle Tower are missed once you enter the Hall of Echoes. ---------------- Dragon Skill Books (1 stat point): ---------------- Book 1 (Maxos Temple): The Librarian gives this book as a reward for the story quest "A Tale of Two Tomes."

To disable it, go to the opposite end of the cave and step on the pressure plates in the correct order. Starting from the treasure chest in the back, number them 1, 2, 3, and 4. Step on 2, 4, 1, and 3. The desk this book sits on is right next to some potted plants and an Iron Ore Vein.

Can be unlearned. 2: Given by Librarian for completing "A Tale of Two Tomes." 3: On a desk in the Primordial Cave's Chicken Rune room. 4: Found on your bed in the Battle Tower, post-Laiken. 5: On a table of the Skill Trainer platform of the Battle Tower. 6: On a table of the Alchemist platform of the Battle Tower. 7: On the ground in the center of the Enchanter platform of the Battle Tower. 8: On the central ring of the Necromancer platform of the Battle Tower. 9: In a wyvern nest a bit northwest of the Battle Tower Shrine. 10: In the Primordial Cave maze room, on the floor near a chest. 11: On a desk in Ragon's room of the Bandit Hideout. 12: On a table near Barnabus in the Sinister Cave. 13: In the High Hall Mines, a book near the central lava pit. 14: In the Well Cave, sitting on a desk in the southern room. 15: Red Hammer Tribe cave, sitting on the floor next to Groth. 16: In the Aleroth Ministry building, on a table in the treasure room. 17: Orobas Crypt, sitting on the ground near some candles in the back. 18: Orobas Crypt, inside the talking chest if all questions correct. 19: Lost Tomb, on the floor near the casket in the center. 20: Dropped by General Xanlosch in Stone's Flying Fortress. 21: In a large wooden chest in the Inner Passage of Stone's flying fortress. 22: Dropped by General Stone in Stone's Fortress Arena. 23: Dropped by General Raze in the Headquarters of his flying fortress. 24: Dropped by Rayhun in his Headquarters in Broken Valley. 25: Dropped by Kali in the Headquarters of her flying fortress. 26: Dropped by Keara in the Headquarters of her flying fortress. 27: Mindread the dragon Patriarch in the Primordial Cave. 28: Mindread the dragon Patriarch in the Primordial Cave. 29: Mindread the dragon Patriarch in the Primordial Cave. ======================================================== ========================================================================== *9* BATTLE TOWER PLATFORM OPERATORS ========================================================================== ======================================================== Various operator choices have different bonuses, quests, and costs. When choosing them, often the EXP, skill points, and (lack of) giving up good items is the deciding factor, as opposed to the specific services offered. Each set of potential candidates (alchemists aside) also have special interaction opportunities, such as the enchanter's smithing competition, the necromancer's attempt to kill each other, and the trainer's duel. Check these out if you wish, but keep in mind the necromancer or trainer who dies will no longer be eligible for choosing as an assistant. ===================================== 9.1 - SKILL TRAINERS ===================================== The skill trainers are the one profession available to your Battle Tower that is unavailable in Broken Valley. They will allow you to increase your skill caps from the default of level 5 to level 10, 13, and finally 15. Not all skills can be increased, however. On top of that, the trainer can unlearn your skills. The unlearning costs 5000 gold the first time, and doubles each subsequent time. Overuse of this feature may lead to running the entire world out of gold! If you talk to Hermosa, she will propose a duel with her rival. Telling Kenneth causes him to go challenge her. At the camp, he will express concern over her gender. If you tell them to duel anyways, Hermosa will win and the choice will be made for you; calling off the duel will still allow you to choose. Comments: Kenneth's quests are horribly stacked against you, reward-wise. Not only do his missions give one less skill point then Hermosa's, he requires giving up an item worth FIVE skill points. His first quest requires failing another quest to achieve the maximum reward for, and his second only gives a choice of EXP, gold, or a skill book, instead of giving all three AND an additional choice. Hermosa requires giving up an Amulet and an otherwise- useless quest item for the first quest, and the Myrthos sword for her second. The two items for her first quest cannot be obtained without choosing her, so they are not a loss either way. Opinions: Kenneth's second quest requires giving up an item that gives FIVE skill points. Do you know how valuable that is? You've played the game long enough to reach the Battle Tower, so yes, you do. Screw you, Kenneth. Lowdown: -Kenneth: 1 skill point. Priest and Mage skills are half price to train. Maximum reward for 1st quest requires failing another quest. Give up The Demon Wars quest item (worth 5 skill points!!!) (If the above doesn't seem bad enough, consider that Choosing Kenneth costs you SIX skill points: 5 from The Demon Wars, and 1 that Hermosa rewards but Kenneth doesn't) -Hermosa: 2 skill points. Warrior and Ranger skills are half price to train. Give up the Hermosa's Necklace jewelry item (must choose Hermosa to get). Give up The Art of War quest item (no other use, must choose Hermosa to get). Give up the Myrthos sword (very powerful, +1 to Destruction skill). Recommended choice: Hermosa (by a huge margin) ================== 9.1.1 - KENNETH ================== Bonus: Magical skills are half-price to train (750 gold or the first boost, 1500 for the second boost, 2250 for the final boost). For the most part, Priest and Mage skills are magical, and Warrior and Ranger skills are physical. Dragon Slayer skills are never discounted. (Unlocked immediately upon obtaining the Battle Tower) Quest 1: "Apprentice and Adversary" Task: Rescue Saul from the Slayer camp south of Champion Harbor. To do this, first visit High Hall and examine the teleporter control panel there. Then set the teleporter near Saul's cell to High Hall, and tell Saul it's set. This fails the quest "Thorn in the Side," however, but failing it has no consequences beyond losing out on the rewards. Rewards: 4500 EXP, 520 gold, 2 of (1125 EXP, 520 gold, heroic armor, heroic weapon, heroic jewelry, formula/charm). OR... Task: Kill Saul, which completes "Thorn in the Side" successfully, but upsets Kenneth and greatly reduces your reward. This option will still allow for the platform's upgrade, though. Rewards: 1 of (4500 EXP, 520 gold). Upgrade 1: Unlocks the second level of skill training, allowing most skills to be trained to a maximum of level 13. Discounted skills cost 1500 gold, others cost 3000 gold. Quest 2: "By the Book" Task: Give up The Demon Wars quest item, a book worth a massive FIVE skill points. This book is dropped by Kali, in the Headquarters of her flying fortress, found by taking the Rivertown Gorge exit of the Orobas Fjords. Rewards: 1 of (6000 EXP, 600 gold, 1 Skill Book). Upgrade 2: Unlocks the final level of skill training, allowing many skills to be trained to a maximum of level 15. Discounted skills cost 2250 gold, others cost 4500 gold. ================== 9.1.2 - HERMOSA ================== Bonus: Physical skills are half-price to train (750 gold or the first boost, 1500 for the second boost, 2250 for the final boost). For the most part, Priest and Mage skills are magical, and Warrior and Ranger skills are physical. Dragon Slayer skills are never discounted. (Unlocked immediately upon obtaining the Battle Tower) Quest 1: "Dear John" Task: Deliver Hermosa's Necklace to Morgan in the Champion Harbor building, then give the quest item Art of War Book (which Morgan gives you) to Hermosa at the Battle Tower. Neither of these items can be obtained unless Hermosa is chosen. Rewards: 4500 EXP, 520 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1125 EXP, 520 gold). Upgrade 1: Unlocks the second level of skill training, allowing most skills to be trained to a maximum of level 13. Discounted skills cost 1500 gold, others cost 3000 gold. Quest 2: "Murder for Myrthos" Task: Give up the sword Myrthos, a very powerful weapon that is dropped by Kali, in the Headquarters of her flying fortress. This sword is a shame to give away, but it still beats losing the 5 skill points Kenneth's quest would cost you! Rewards: 6000 EXP, 600 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1500 EXP, 600 gold). Upgrade 2: Unlocks the final level of skill training, allowing many skills to be trained to a maximum of level 15. Discounted skills cost 2250 gold, others cost 4500 gold. ===================================== 9.2 - ALCHEMISTS ===================================== Alchemists are the ones who will allow you to make potions, just like Abanayamar did back in Broken Valley. Their functions are largely the same, but each has a special potion ability to use, as well as reducing the number of ingredients used per potion via upgrades to the platform. The two Alchemists will talk about each other, but no contact or competition with the two will occur. Comments: Neither Alchemist requires much of a sacrifice for their first quest. Allan requires some common ingredients, Barbatos needs a quest item that is otherwise useless. Allan's second quest, however, requires giving up a unique potion which gives +5 to your Intelligence stat. Barbatos' requires surrendering the Alchemy Amulet. The free potions are nothing you can't easily make yourself (and making better ones is simple, too), whereas the Allan Brew is unique and cannot be acquired unless Allan is chosen. Opinion: The +5 to Intelligence potion is a powerful thing. While the amulet for Barbatos is nice, that Int bonus will follow you around everywhere, no matter what is equipped. Barbatos also gives two skill books, instead of Allan's one. This means Allan will cost you a skill point and 5 Intelligence - not a good deal at all. The Allan Brew is a nice potion, but the cost is just too high. Lowdown: -Allan 1 skill point. Unique potion formula, "Allan Brew." (see section 18 for more info) Give up the Potion of Wisdom consumable (permanent +5 to Intelligence stat). -Barbatos Slightly more EXP from quests. 2 skill points. Free Lv5 stat potions (Strength, Dexterity, Vitality). Give up the Master's Spell Book quest item (no other use). Give up the Alchemy Amulet jewelry item (+1 to Regenerate and Wisdom). Recommended choice: Barbatos (by a small margin) ================== 9.2.1 - ALLAN ================== Bonus: Will make the unique "Allan Brew" potion. This is a potion that boosts all armour ratings by 36 for 180 seconds. This makes it over 50% more powerful than the Ultimate Potion of Full Resistance (level 10). The cost for the Allan Brew is 4x Black Rose, Dragon Nail, Earth Root, Holy Basil, and Whisperwood. These costs can be reduced by upgrading the Alchemy platform, and by the Master Herbalist skill. One is given to you for finishing the quest, and the recipe is added to your recipe list when making potions. (Unlocked after finishing his first quest, "Allan Brew Confidential") Quest 1: "Allan Brew Confidential" Task: Obtain one each of Whisperwood, Black Rose, Earth Root, and Holy Basil. Harry, the herb runner in the Throne Room, can obtain them if needed. Give them to Allan, and he will request a Dragon Nail too. Obtain one, give it to him, and the quest will be complete. Rewards: 4500 EXP, 2 of (520 gold, 6 formulas). Upgrade 1: All potions consume one less of each ingredient to brew. Once the cost of all ingredients of a potion are 1, further reductions (via upgrade or the Master Herbalist skill) will begin eliminating ingredients entirely. All potions will always require at least one of the first ingredient on the list, however. Quest 2: "Wisdom in a Bottle" Task: Give up the Potion of Wisdom, a unique consumable that gives a permanent +5 to Intelligence! It is dropped by Geshniz, in her Headquarters in the poisoned Broken Valley, near Maxos Temple. Rewards: 6000 EXP, 600 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1500 EXP, 600 gold). Upgrade 2: All potions consume one less (two less total) of each ingredient to brew. Once the cost of all ingredients of a potion are 1, further reductions (via upgrade or the Master Herbalist skill) will begin eliminating ingredients entirely. All potions will always require at least one of the first ingredient on the list, however. ================== 9.2.2 - BARBATOS ================== Bonus: Will make Substantial (level 5) stat potions (Strength, Dexterity, or Intelligence) for free, via a dialogue option. After choosing one, he walks to the table and will take a few seconds to make the potion. During this time, he cannot be used to make potions normally. (Unlocked after finishing his first quest, "Borrowed Book") Quest 1: "Borrowed Book" Task: Give up the quest item Master's Spell Book, found in the Bandit Hideout where the outlaw Ragon resides. It is found after turning all dragon statues in Ragon's room as far as they will go. Rewards: 4500 EXP, 520 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1125 EXP, 520 gold). Upgrade 1: All potions consume one less of each ingredient to brew. Once the cost of all ingredients of a potion are 1, further reductions (via upgrade or the Master Herbalist skill) will begin eliminating ingredients entirely. All potions will always require at least one of the first ingredient on the list, however. Quest 2: "An Alchemist's Apparel" Task: Give up the Alchemy Amulet (dropped by Rayhun in his Headquarters in Broken Valley). Rewards: 6000 EXP, 600 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1500 EXP, 600 gold). Upgrade 2: All potions consume one less (two less total) of each ingredient to brew. Once the cost of all ingredients of a potion are 1, further reductions (via upgrade or the Master Herbalist skill) will begin eliminating ingredients entirely. All potions will always require at least one of the first ingredient on the list, however. ===================================== 9.3 - ENCHANTERS ===================================== Enchanters play the same role as Dreavan from Broken Valley: give equipment special effects using ore and gems. The main difference is your Battle Tower's enchanters can reduce the cost of certain enchantments when upgraded! If you talk to Wesson, then Radcliff, then Wesson again, the two will engage in a weaponsmithing contest. You will get Wesson's Sword and Radcliff's Sword, with the latter being much stronger. This has no impact on the decision between the two, except to show off who makes better weapons. Comments: Radcliff only has one quest, which grants both upgrades. The trick is that the item in the quest can be traded for two Malachite Gems, but at the cost of one of the upgrades. On top of this, Radcliff only gives 1 skill point, instead of Wesson's two, and ONLY if you don't get the Malachite Gems. Opinion: Radcliff's quest is a mess of mutually exclusive rewards and possible permanent gimping of the platform's capabilities. Two Malachite Gems really aren't worth two skill points and the final upgrade, unless you are aimlessly playing the game to beat it and never look back, in which case this FAQ is probably not for you. Lowdown: -Wesson Much more EXP from quests. 2 skill points. Give up the Wesson's goods quest item (no other use). Give up the Raze's Cuirass armor item (+1 to Reflect). -Radcliff 1 skill point. Can get 2 malachite gems at the cost of the skill point and 2nd upgrade. Give up the Goblin Stone quest item (can't get without Radcliff). Recommended choice: Wesson (by a large margin) ================== 9.3.1 - WESSON ================== Bonus: None. Quest 1: "Short Supply" Task: Obtain the quest item Wesson's goods in the Depleted Ore Mine and give it to Wesson. The fugitive beholder Alutiiq drops the key to its chest. This is in a small room in the northeastern section of the mine. Rewards: 4500 EXP, 480 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1125 EXP, 480 gold). Upgrade 1: The player's choice of Weapons, Armor, or Jewelry enchantments will take one less of each ingredient to enchant. This cannot reduce the cost of an ingredient below 1, however. Quest 2: "Raging Raze" Task: Give up Raze's Cuirass (dropped by General Raze in the Headquarters of his flying fortress). Rewards: 6000 EXP, 600 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1500 EXP, 600 gold). Upgrade 2: The player's choice of Weapons, Armour, or Jewelry enchantments will take one less of each ingredient to enchant. This cannot reduce the cost of an ingredient below 1, however. This may stack to reduce one category's costs by 2 ingredients total (keeping in mind the previous rule). ================== 9.3.2 - RADCLIFF ================== Bonus: None. Quest: "Delicate Affairs" Task: Radcliff gives you the Radcliff's Key quest item. Head to the winding path in the Fjords which lead to the Rivertown Gorge exit (at the southern end). Atop a hill there will be a chest. Open it and collect the Goblin Stone quest item. Two goblins flyers will insist you give it back. Fight and kill them, then return the Goblin Stone to Radcliff. The two goblins must be killed before the stone can be given to Radcliff. Rewards: 1 of (6000 EXP, 600 gold, 1 Skill Book). OR... Task: Once you open the chest, sell the Goblin Stone you just got to some goblins! GREAT IDEA! Rewards 1 are from the goblins, Rewards 2 from Radcliff. THIS WILL PREVENT OBTAINING THE SECOND PLATFORM UPGRADE FOREVER! Rewards 1: 6000 EXP, 600 gold, 2 Malachite Gems, 1 of (1500 EXP, 600 gold, heroic armor, heroic weapon, heroic jewelry, formula/charm) Rewards 2: 1 of (6000 EXP, 600 gold). Upgrade 1: The player's choice of Weapons, Armor, or Jewelry enchantments will take one less of each ingredient to enchant. This cannot reduce the cost of an ingredient below 1, however. Upgrade 2: The player's choice of Weapons, Armour, or Jewelry enchantments will take one less of each ingredient to enchant. This cannot reduce the cost of an ingredient below 1, however. This may stack to reduce one category's costs by 2 ingredients total (keeping in mind the previous rule). ===================================== 9.4 - NECROMANCERS ===================================== These are the attendants who will allow you to assemble your undead Creature, summoned by the Crystal Skull. They perform the same functions Naberius did in the Broken Valley saga. If you did not acquire the Crystal Skull in Broken Valley, your necromancer will give it to you upon obtaining the Battle Tower. If you tell Igor to poison Jonelath, then Jonelath will die when you leave the Necromancer's cave. If you inform Jonelath of that plan before leaving, he will kill Igor when you leave the cave. Either way, your Necromancer will be decided for you. Comments: Aside from the melee/magic resistance issue, Jonelath's quests give more EXP. Igor's also require giving up Stone's Ring, which can't even be obtained unless Igor is chosen. Jonelath's first quest seems bugged, and gives two sets of rewards. Set 1 is given upon killing the target, while set 2 is upon returning to Jonelath. This is a HUGE consideration, as this means it gives TWO skill books, instead of one. Jonelath this gives 3 skill points total, to Igor's two. Opinion: The actual necromancy aside, Jonelath is superior to Igor in every way; more EXP and no unique items given up. The only concern is Jonelath's second quest may apparently glitch and not let you complete it if Xanlosch and Isabelle are killed before you obtain the quest. I have tried it, and killing them beforehand does NOT affect the quest, but be warned it may be possible. Lowdown: -Jonelath: More Melee Armor for Creature. More EXP from quests. 3 skill points. -Igor: More Magic Armor for Creature. 2 skill points. Give up the Book of the Dead quest item (no other use). Give up the Stone's Ring jewelry item (+1 to Summon Mastery and Blind, can't get without Igor). Recommended choice: Jonelath (by a good margin) ================== 9.4.1 - JONELATH ================== Bonus: Gives your Creature an extra bonus of +10 to Melee Armor rating. (Unlocked immediately upon obtaining the Battle Tower) Quest 1: "Out on a Limb" Task: Defeat the "Ultimate Creature Boss" in the Bone Burrow, found in the southeastern corner of the Orobas Fjords. Defeating it flags the quest as complete, so it can be turned in successfully even if the body part the Ultimate Creature Boss yields is sold or destroyed. Rewards: 6000 EXP, 560 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (Well-Preserved Remains of a Head, Torso, Arms, or Legs). Rewards 2: 6000 EXP, 560 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1500 EXP, 560 gold). Upgrade 1: Increases the Creature's Melee Armor bonus from +10 to +20. Quest 2: "Risk Life for Limb" Task: Fight and defeat Xanlosch and his creature Isabelle in the central compound of Stone's flying fortress. Although he asks you to bring back a body part of Isabelle's, like his first quest, just defeating it flags the quest as completed, so discarding, selling, or turning in the body parts won before turning in the quest does not affect its completion. Rewards: 6000 EXP, 560 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1500 EXP, 560 gold). Upgrade 2: Increases the Creature's Melee Armor bonus from +20 to +30. ================== 9.4.2 - IGOR ================== Bonus: Gives your Creature an extra bonus of +10 to Magic Armor rating. (Unlocked immediately upon obtaining the Battle Tower) Quest 1: "The Book of the Dead" Task: Give up the quest item Book of the Dead, found in the Sinister Cave where the bounty target Barnabus resides. This is found at the end of the corridor the southern teleporter in the main chamber connects to. The book can be found even if Igor was not chosen, but has no value outside of this quest. Rewards: 4500 EXP, 520 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1125 EXP, 520 gold). Upgrade 1: Increases the Creature's Magic Armor bonus from +10 to +20. Quest 2: "Black Ring's Ring" Task: Give up Stone's Ring (dropped by General Stone in the Arena of his flying fortress). This ring only drops if Igor was chosen as Necromancer, so there is no way to keep it and perfect your Battle Tower. Rewards: 6000 EXP, 600 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1500 EXP, 600 gold). Upgrade 2: Increases the Creature's Magic Armor bonus from +20 to +30. ======================================================== ========================================================================== *10* MONSTER LOG ========================================================================== ======================================================== This is a list of all the monster log entries (the fourth section of the logbook) and where they can be found. They are listed in the order used in the game, NOT alphabetical or location order. NOT ALL ENEMIES GIVE AN ENTRY! If you kill an enemy and no entry is added, they don't have one. Additionally, all enemies with "classes" are compiled into one entry. All Tribal Goblins, whether a warrior, ranger, mage, shaman, healer, or chief are all under the "Tribal Goblin" entry. Enemies listed as found during a specific quest indicate that the listed enemy is placed directly in your path, and therefore missing the entry requires active ignorance on the player's part. Enemy EXP is based on how much of their HP you deplete. When fighting alongside allies, the damage they inflict reduces your EXP gain. An enemy entry is only added if you obtain EXP from a kill! The exception is when your Creature, or a summon spell kills the enemy; full EXP is gained. A glitch occurs when you save the game mid-battle: All damage done to the enemy is "forgotten" temporarily. If you save before dealing the finishing blow, and when reloaded, the enemy dies (such as from fire, poison, bleeding, or an NPC's attacks), you will gain NO EXP for the kill, nor the enemy's entry. To correct this, damage the enemy again before they die. You will still gain the correct amount of EXP, but the game needs the "reminder." Entries marked with exclamations can be missed more easily than others. One mark is only missable if you aren't thorough in exploration. Two and above are VERY missable unless the right steps (and sacrifices) are undertaken at the right time. ---------------- (!): An enemy which requires extra exploration besides just wandering around. These entries usually require extra actions such as exploring side dungeons, or activating various aspects of the game world. These are possible to miss or skip if you are not thorough in exploration. (!!): Requires making the right (or wrong) choices during a quest. This can involve siding with a specific party in a quest that requires a choice in who to ally with. These are very missable if you do not make the correct choice, but making that choice has no impact on failing or missing a quest. (!!!): These entries are difficult to get, requiring specific decisions during a quest (or quests), and in the correct order. Read them carefully to know how to handle the decisions. (!!!!): An enemy which is extremely easy to miss entirely. This requires choices that can skip or even fail a quest. These may be extremely unintuitive to find, and will usually require actions which deny you other resources. ---------------- Skeleton Found all around and on Lovis' Tower in the center of Broken Valley. Tribal Goblin Many are found scattered around first part of Broken Valley. Tribal Goblin Beholder There is one in first part of Broken Valley, but it'll always be there. Black Goblin These are scattered around Broken Valley proper. The Farglow training goblins also seem to count as this. Brown Boar Many are outside of Broken Valley Village. Armored Boar (!) These guard the chest in Robin Wood's storage closet. Open it and the boars will appear behind you. Bandit Many are scattered around southwest region of Broken Valley proper. Black Ring They guard the pass to Maxos Temple, to Orobas Fjords, and the quarry. Stone Troll Found during quest "Stuck in a Hole." Alternatively: Tell Louis that Merrill and the others were out of line in "Band of Brutes," or if you had Louis go easy on them, talk to Merrill for the quest "Louis' Stash," then tell Louis that Merrill betrayed his storage location to you. Then go to the valley north of the Tribal Shrine, and you'll see Merrill and others fighting a troll. Undead Abomination In the Citadel Dungeon of Lovis' Tower. Use Lovis' Scrying Stone before giving it to Romon, or go there during "Into Thin Air." Walking Armor Found during the dragon trials in Maxos Temple (part of the main story). Arben's Tomb Skeleton During the story quest "To Lay a Ghost to Rest." Lesser Skeleton Found in the Secret Passage and Forgotten Outpost in Broken Valley. Goblin Outcast Deep in the Secret Passage in Broken Valley. Summoned Skeletal Skeleton (!) Summoned by various enemy summoners. The (!) mark is purely theoretical, since in practice it is almost impossible to avoid at least one of these appearing. Ambush Bandit (!!!) or (!!!!) Side with Filip during "Daylight Robbery." Alternatively: side with Jenae, then finish the quest "Into the Bandit's Den." Go to the Bandit Camp and assist the Seekers with its destruction. Among the hostile bandits will be Jenae's crew of four bandits. Killing them here will also get this entry (but ONLY those four bandits work). "Daylight Robbery" must be completed before "Into the Bandit's Den" for this to work! Ambush Nobleman Bodyguard (!!) Found during "Daylight Robbery," if you side with Jenae and the bandits. Heroic Black Goblin (!) Found south of Dreavan's compound after crossing the stone bridge near the West Valley Shrine. Hellgate Demon (!) Activate the Hellgate Pedestal (west of the quarry) until it appears. It is the fourth summon from the portal. Dragon Slayer Required battle when you first approach Maxos Temple. Richard (!!!!) Complete "Hearttaker," then refuse Richard's next quest (Feast or Famine). He will run off to Jackson's Farm. Go there, and during "New Order or Champion Chaos," side with Lomax. Lord Seth (!) On a bridge in southwest Broken Valley (northwest of the South Valley Shrine) after Sosostra's second prophecy. Furfur Found during "Lost for Words." Viper One of the bounty quests in Broken Valley (part of "A Hunting We Shall Go"), found in the ruins directly south of the South Valley Shrine. Yup'ik One of the bounty quests in Broken Valley (part of "A Hunting We Shall Go"), found in a goblin village east of the South Valley Shrine. Lesser Creature Found during "Vigor Mortis." Bellegar's Goblin (!) Summoned during the first and final encounters with Bellegar. These encounters occur at the various circular ruins throughout Broken Valley proper. The encounters happen in the same order regardless of the order the shrines are visited. Bellegar's Demon (!) Summoned during the second and final encounters with Bellegar. These encounters occur at the various circular ruins throughout Broken Valley proper. The encounters happen in the same order regardless of the order the shrines are visited. Bellegar's Undead (!) Summoned during the third and final encounters with Bellegar. These encounters occur at the various circular ruins throughout Broken Valley proper. The encounters happen in the same order regardless of the order the shrines are visited. Bellegar's Troll (!) Summoned during the fourth and final encounters with Bellegar. These encounters occur at the various circular ruins throughout Broken Valley proper. The encounters happen in the same order regardless of the order the shrines are visited. Martis (!!!) Mindread Martis in Broken Valley Village's prison, then proceed through the Secret Passage until a scene occurs between him and two other bandits. Tell them you'll kill them, and do so. He seems to vanish during the Seekers' raid on the Bandit Camp after "Into the Bandit's Den." Hallorn One of the bounty quests in Broken Valley (part of "A Hunting We Shall Go"), found in the southern branch of the Derelict Tunnel. Camp Bandit (!) In the Bandit Camp after turning in "Into the Bandit's Den." Alternatively, you can take a weapon on the center table (with four bandits arguing), and kill them when they turn hostile. Bandit Leader Jagon One of the bounty quests in Broken Valley (part of "A Hunting We Shall Go"), found as the boss at the end of "The Temple of Doom" (both the quest and dungeon). Jagon's Undead Abomination Found during "The Temple of Doom." Lost Soul (!!!!) This entry is only available if you decide to side with Lovis and complete "Lost Soul," instead of siding with Abalam in "In Cold Blood." Abalam and a few other ghosts will attack you, counting as this entry. Evil Sassan During the story quest "What's in a Name?" Amdusias During the story quest "Dragon No More." Black Ring Champion During the story quest "Dragon No More." Lady Kara In the Camp Eagle's Nest bunker in Orobas Fjords. Lord John In the Camp Eagle's Nest bunker in Orobas Fjords.

Island Creature Goblin Found in the southeastern corner of Sentinel Island's overworld. Island Creature Dragon Elf Found in the southeastern corner of Sentinel Island's overworld. Laiken's Troop Bandits During the story quest "Breaking an Entry." Mahalath's Walking Armor (!!!) In the Forlorn Cave, claim you are the strongest to fight them all. Alternatively: Side with a sister, then when sabotaging the other, fail to convince the other sister that you're not sabotaging them (easiest to just outright tell them you're sabotaging them). This will result in all entries being possible, but will fail the mission. Adah's Dragon Elf (!!!) In the Forlorn Cave, claim you are the strongest to fight them all. Alternatively: Side with a sister, then when sabotaging the other, fail to convince the other sister that you're not sabotaging them (easiest to just outright tell them you're sabotaging them). This will result in all entries being possible, but will fail the mission. Dark Ghost Crawler In Vacca's Cave during "Ghostbuster." Laiken's Guard Undead Abomination During the story quest "The Second Coming." Elevator Cave Bandit During the story quest "Breaking an Entry." Elevator Cave Undead Abomination During the story quest "Breaking an Entry." Elevator Cave Skeleton During the story quest "Breaking an Entry."

Angering a shopkeeper (most likely by failing a quest they ask of you) will raise their prices, and in some cases, cause them to refuse to trade with you at all. The price formula works like so: (Final price) = (Base price) * ((Discount 1)+(Discount 2)) * (Price raise) This formula doesn't always work, particularly when dealing with discounts and price raises that aren't 25% or 100%. I'm not sure why the result is off, but it's not by much. Shops restock items every time you gain a level. Randomly generated stock is replaced each level, so if you see something in a shop (such as a skill boosting piece of jewelry), be sure to buy it ASAP. Rarities of items sold depend on the trader, and are listed in the below lists. "Common" equipment (no rarity) are always pre-determined. Randomly generated equipment will always be uncommon or rarer. Pre-set items are ones the trader is guaranteed to start with, and will always remain until purchased, but one purchased, will never restock (unless they are also part of the random items). If their inventory listing is left empty, the pre-set items are the only items they ever stock. If a shopkeeper has requirements to either trade with, or vanishes at some point, it will be listed. Note that all Broken Valley and Sentinel Island traders may no longer be accessed after acquiring the Battle Tower. All remaining shopkeepers cannot be accessed after entering the Hall of Echoes in the endgame. ---------------- Abram, in the Camp Eagle's Nest bunker in Orobas Fjords ---------------- Discount (25%): Mindread for 1200 EXP, then choose the new dialogue option.

The following is a list of terms used: Type: The item type, listed under the item name in your inventory. Quest: What quest, if any, the item is a part of. -Temporary: This item vanishes once its quest is closed, even if unused. -Permanent: This item stays in the item list forever, unless given away/used. -Give up: This item is given or used during the quest, and thus is lost. -Story: Needed for a story quest, and thus its fate is out of your hands. Purpose: The function the item serves in the game. Found: Where the item is located and obtained. If it has more than one possible location, all locations will be listed as Found (1), Found (2), etc. Use: The item's effect when used from your inventory. -Vanish: This tag is just a warning to read the "Use" description, because one or more uses of the item will destroy it in the process, possibly failing quests. Multiple properties can exist at one time. For example, an item that is marked permanent AND give up means that while the quest requires giving or using it (thus removing it from your inventory), it is possible to complete the quest without using it, or possibly fail the quest (or not finish it, period) to keep the item. A temporary item would vanish from your inventory upon the quest closing, succeed or fail, no matter what you do. If permanent or temporary are not marked on an item, it means I do not know which the item is. This is usually for quests which can only be passed by giving the item away, and only failed by obtaining the Battle Tower, or entering the Hall of Echoes. ---------------- Alutiiq's Mask ---------------- Type: Quest Item Quest: "A Hunting We Shall Go Again" (Alutiiq subquest). (give up) Purpose: Give to Sejanus to prove Alutiiq's death. Found: Dropped by Alutiiq the Beholder in the Depleted Ore Mine. Use: None.

(permanent/give up) Purpose: Contains information Turgyon wishes to learn. Found: In a chest in the belly of a shipwreck suspended in a large tree on the southeastern corner of Sentinel Island. Requires dragon form to reach. Use: Prompts to read the book. If you do, the book is destroyed, you get two skill points and fail the quest if and when you return to Turgyon and report your action. (vanish) "A book filled with wondrous magic, ready to be used - but once and only once." NOTE: The two skill points are definitely better than finishing the quest, unless you REALLY value not having a failed quest in the list. ---------------- Arcane Notebook ---------------- Type: Quest Item Quest: "Candles in the Wind." (story) Purpose: Possesses a spell to stop the wind, allowing the candles to be lit. Found: Given by Elfrith as part of "Man Overboard." Use: Reads the book and prompts you to case the spell.

(give up) Purpose: Give to Hermosa to finish the quest. Found: Given by Morgan in the Champion Harbor building after giving him Hermosa's Necklace. Use: None.

Found: On a pedestal in the the lowest basement of the Depleted Ore Mine (near two Malachite Ore veins). Use: None. "A dusty blue book that doesn't seem to contain much more than a few boring tales about country life." ---------------- Book of the Dead ---------------- Type: Quest Item Quest: "The Book of the Dead." (permanent/give up) Purpose: Give to Igor as an information source. It can be acquired even if Igor was not chosen as Necromancer, but it has no purpose except for his first quest. Found: In a room of the Sinister Cave in Orobas Fjords, only reachable via the southern teleporter in the large lava-filled room of the cave. Use: None. "A book that contains everything that Barnabus knows about the dead and, more importantly, the undead." NOTE: This is available whether Jonelath or Igor was chosen as Necromancer. However, Jonelath has no need of it, so nothing can be done with it if he was chosen. ---------------- Book of The Dragon ---------------- Type: Quest Item Quest: "Hall of Echoes Bound."

(permanent/give up) Purpose: This is needed to perform the ritual to unseal the crypt where Orobas resides. Found: In a large wooden chest in the Slayer camp south of Champion Harbor.

It is said that one can summon a creature with this mysterious object."

This version cannot actually be used. ---------------- Crystal Skull (2) ---------------- Type: Unique Quest: None. (permanent) Purpose: Summoning your Creature and finishing the quest.

A strange glow emits from within the crystal, and you can very vaguely hear words uttered in an ancient tongue. It is said that one can summon a creature with this mysterious object." NOTE: The (2) is not part of the item's actual name in-game, is it just used to denote the functional version of the Crystal Skull you receive from Naberius after finishing "Vigor Mortis," or from your Necromancer once you own the Battle Tower.

The options are: Necromancer, Alchemist, Skill Trainer, Workshop (Enchanter), Throne Room, and Leave Battle Tower. Leaving the tower via the stone will take you back to wherever you were last, making the stone an effective way to escape from a difficult fight to recover and restock, then return when (and if) you're ready. Can be mapped to a shortcut for easy use. "A very handy stone that enables the owner of a Battle Tower to access any of its platforms instantly." ---------------- Explosives ---------------- Type: Quest Item (2 total) Quest: "Breaking an Entry."

Press a small bronze button on the wooden structure in the back of the cell Elijah tells you about. Use: Prompts whether or not to use the explosives IF you are near one of the two rockslides. (vanish) "A huge barrel filled with explosives that must be handled with care. It can easily be detonated by lighting the large fuse that protrudes from it. Just make sure you are far away when the flame reaches the actual gunpowder." NOTE: One of these is needed to pass the rockslide blocking the main passage. The other may be kept, as the other rockslide only blocks a couple ore veins and a key. Additionally, standing too close to one when it explodes will cause an instant game over, regardless of your HP or defenses. ---------------- Fake Red Ore ---------------- Type: Ore Quest: "Sibling Rivalry." (temporary/give up) Purpose: Given to Adah to sabotage Mahalath's Walking Armors. Found: In a chest in the shipwreck south of the Shipwreck Colony on Sentinel Island. Use: None.

(permanent/give up) Purpose: Read it to start the quest, then talk to Carl Jackson to finish the quest. Agreeing to keep quiet (whether you extort him or not) will see this item removed from your inventory, as will telling Captain Rodney of Carl's crimes. Only by threatening to turn Carl in, then killing him, can you keep the diary forever. Found: On a table in Carl Jackson's cellar (the Cellar Key is on the rafters of his house).

Found: Gobie gives it to you if you tell him you'll slay the ghost yourself, instead of letting Eamon and Mona do it. This is the only option that allows for obtaining the key and entering his house. Don't blackmail Eamon and Mona, or pay them for Gobie, or tell him they're a fraud, otherwise it completes the quest in another way. Use: None. ---------------- Goblin Stone ---------------- Type: Quest Item Quest: "Delicate Affairs." (give up) Purpose: Radcliff needs this stone to upgrade the Enchanter platform of the battle tower. This provides both upgrades. Found: In a chest found on a hill near a shipwreck near the Rivertown Gorge exit in the Orobas Fjords. This is the southern end of the Fjords. Use: None. "A hazy purple orb." NOTE: You get the option to sell this to some goblins for 2 Malachite Gems, in addition to some extra EXP and gold.

Also costs you two monster log entries. ---------------- Goblin's Heart ---------------- Type: Quest Item Quest: "Hearttaker." (temporary/give up) Purpose: Sell to Richard for 50 EXP and gold each (150 each if mindread). Found: Dropped by Tribal Goblins and Black Goblins in Broken Valley. Tribal Goblins drop them somewhat commonly, but Black Goblins seem to have a much lower drop rate. Use: None. "The heart of a goblin, so fresh it still beats." NOTE: This item stacks, with up to 10 in a stack.

(permanent/give up) Purpose: Deposit 4 of them into the generator at the eastern end of Stone's Headquarters by examining the control panel with at least four in your inventory. This shuts down the machine. If you deposit all 5 instead, it also spawns a small chest with a random rare or higher rarity item. Found (1): Four are sitting on stands near the Walking Armor generator in the eastern room of the Headquarters of Stone's flying fortress. They are small glowing green orbs. Found (2): In a large wooden chest at the back of Stone's Fortress Arena. There are four ramps leading up to locked metal doors (where the monsters presumably were being held).

If you choose to, you get 500 gold and the purse vanishes. (vanish) "The purse of gold you... persuaded Keane to give you." NOTE: Opening the wallet will cause the quest to fail and Locke to stop selling to you, but only if you tell him. Never reporting back about the quest will allow one to keep the money and make use of his services. Even if the dialogue option is chosen, however, you may still trade with Locke by pressing the Trade button (and without a price raise, even!) so long as the dialogue box is still open. ---------------- Key ---------------- Type: Key Let me tell you about keys. They are all named just "Key." They use one of three key graphics: a bronze, silver, or gold key. They unlock locked chests, doors, and so forth. Each key is specific to a certain locked item. Some of these locked items CAN be lockpicked. If picked before obtaining the key, the keep will stay in your inventory forever once picked up. One key has an unknown purpose, and is dropped by a Tribal Goblin Chief in the Secret Passage in Broken Valley, near the Farm exit. Keys that are quite obviously keys, but named differently (such as Maxos Temple Key, and Mister Shiny) will have their own entries, but know that these are still just plain old keys. ---------------- Key to the Well ---------------- Type: Key Quest: "The Horror of High Hall." (give up) Purpose: Unlocks the Well Cave entrance in High Hall. Found: Given by Beatrice upon accepting the quest. Use: None. ---------------- Linda's Gold Purse ---------------- Type: Unique Quest: None. (permanent/give up) Purpose: Give to Linda for 100 EXP.

(permanent/give up) Purpose: Contains Lord Lovis' soul, either to be returned or destroyed. Found: Dropped by Amdusias in Maxos Temple. Use: Flavor text; if on the Blood Altar of Maxos Temple, asks whether to destroy the stone or not. (vanish) "This haunting stone contains the trapped soul of Lord Lovis." NOTE: Destroying the soul stone fails "Lost Soul" and lets you complete "In Cold Blood." Completing "Lost Soul" by returning it fails "In Cold Blood." The only way to avoid having a failed quest in your quest log is to simply not accept "In Cold Blood" at all. ---------------- Lovis' Scrying Stone ---------------- Type: Quest Item Quest: "Lovis' Loot."

This is needed to exit the room once you enter. Use: Teleports you to the Citadel Dungeon. Only works once. "A glowing green orb." NOTE: Using the stone from your inventory renders the quest "Into Thin Air" inaccessible, but gives a chance for a stat point mindread. ---------------- Magic Seed ---------------- Type: Quest Item (3 total) Quest: "Reaping the Seeds." (story) Purpose: These are used to sate each of the three hungry dragon statues in the Primordial Cave in Orobas Fjords, so that you may meet the Patriarch. Found: One each is acquired from Yggdrasil, Jievaras, and Irminsul, large trees found in the Orobas Fjords. Complete their quests and they each give you a seed. Use: None. "One of the seeds required to gain entrance to the lair of the Patriarch. This seed was obtained after completing the trial of one of the three legendary trees living in the Orobas Fjords. It appears to be very common, but must without a doubt be a source of great magical energy." ---------------- Magical Rune ---------------- Type: Quest Item (2 total) Quest: "Runes of Wrath." (permanent/give up) Purpose: Set on the Portal Shrines in the High Hall Mines to disable the force fields. Only one is needed to reach Mundus, however.

The room this takes place in is beyond the force field. Use: None. "A spellbook that once was the property of a very wise alchemist, now long since deceased." NOTE: This is available whether Barbatos or Allan was chosen as Alchemist.

"This wyvern egg is a lot larger than any other example you've seen before, and it was probably laid by the matriarch of the wyvern clan you stole it from. Its greenish appearance matches its rotten dead goblin smell, but surely someone on this surreal island would love to get his, her, or its hands on it." ---------------- Yup'ik's Staff ---------------- Type: Quest Item Quest: "A Hunting We Shall Go" (Yup'ik subquest). (permanent/give up) Purpose: Give to Captain Rodney as proof of Yup'ik's death. Found: Dropped by Yup'ik, who is located in a goblin camp east of the South Valley shrine in Broken Valley (southwest of the Quarry). Use: None. "The magical staff always carried by the goblin tribe leader Yup'ik. It is a long wooden staff with mystical runes carved into its surface, and has various brightly-colored pieces of cloth attached to its tip. The staff can be delivered as proof of Yup'ik's death in order to collect a reward." ---------------- Zeppelin Compass ---------------- Type: Quest Item (3 total) Quest: "On the Road Again." (give up) Purpose: One of the nine Zeppelin parts needed to finish the quest. Found (1): In a crashed fragment of a ship atop a cliff on the southern ridge east of Champion Harbor. Found (2): In a wyvern nest on a cliff above Moor's bandit camp, south of the Champion Harbor settlement. Found (3): In a wyvern nest along the cliffs in the southern end of Orobas Fjords, near the Rivertown Gorge exit. Use: None. "One of the broken zeppelin parts needed to repair the docked airships. The compass is necessary for navigation among the cliffs of the Orobas Fjords." ---------------- Zeppelin Rudder ---------------- Type: Quest Item (3 total) Quest: "On the Road Again." (give up) Purpose: One of the nine Zeppelin parts needed to finish the quest. Found (1): In a wyvern nest slightly west of the Imps' Lair in the Fjords. It is on a lower level of the cliff face. Found (2): In a wyvern nest slightly northeast of the Camp Courage teleporter site. Found (3): In a wyvern nest along the cliffs in the southern end of Orobas Fjords, near the Rivertown Gorge exit. Use: None. "One of the broken zeppelin parts needed to repair the docked airships. The rudder allows the navigation and steering of the ship." ---------------- Zeppelin Stabilizer Crystal ---------------- Type: Quest Item (3 total) Quest: "On the Road Again." (give up) Purpose: One of the nine Zeppelin parts needed to finish the quest. Found (1): Sitting in the tree fort in Yggdrasil, south of the Grand Knight Shrine. Found (2): Found in a wyvern nest east of the Camp Sentinel teleporter, on a cliff face on the northern side of the river. Found (3): In a wyvern nest along the cliffs in the southern end of Orobas Fjords, near the Rivertown Gorge exit. Use: None. "One of the broken zeppelin parts needed to repair the docked airships. The hover crystal magically maintains the zeppelin in the air, and the ship would remain firmly grounded without the power it generates." ======================================================== ========================================================================== *14* VALUABLE MINDREADS ========================================================================== ======================================================== This section covers all mindreads that have an actual purpose and are not just flavor text. Note that mindreading is essential to utilize whatever function it serves. Passwords cannot be guessed and treasure chests will not exist unless the person is mindread first. Mindreads that cover other functions are discussed in the relevant section. This includes: -Skill, stat, and dragon skill points -Shop discounts -Malachite Gems -Unique items -Dragon Armor ---------------- Barbara (Farglow) ---------------- COST: 3 EXP BENEFIT: Unlocks a dialogue option to sell Gerald for a discount and 50 gold. This dialogue option is when talking to Gerald. This removes The Adventures of Fabial of Ferol from your ivnentory, but this item would be lost after leaving Farglow anyways. It nets a 25% discount and 50 gold. ---------------- Crabbe, ore specialist and miner (Orobas Fjords) ---------------- COST: 1200 EXP BENEFIT: Supposedly increases rewards from Red Ore Veins. The mindread says it increases the amount of items obtained from Red Ore Veins, however I have not been able to figure out what it actually does. If anyone knows for sure, let me know! ---------------- Derk, the village blacksmith (Broken Valley Village) ---------------- COST: 133 EXP BENEFIT: Spawns a key in the barn next to the Black Boar; also, discount. This mindread gives the 25% discount listed in the Trader section, but also spawns the key to Derk's basement in the barn next to the Black Boar pub. In Derk's basement is a locked chest with a rare (sometimes magical) rarity item inside. Worthwhile. ---------------- Doctor Needleman, atop Lord Lovis' tower late in the game (Broken Valley) ---------------- COST: 2400 EXP BENEFIT: Gives the password to his storage. Needleman's storage is located next to the Broken Valley portal to Stone's flying fortress. Inside are two Black Rock ore veins, a plain wooden chest with a major or blessed charm, a formula or two, and some random gems, herbs, and ore, and a jewelry box and large wooden chest with common loot inside. ---------------- Edmund, gatekeeper of Farglow (Farglow) ---------------- COST: 3 EXP BENEFIT: Spawns a key in the Goblin Training Area. The key unlocks the chest in the corner of the village, on the opposite side of the building from Tiresias. This contains a random item, and would not be worth it were it not for the low cost of the mindread. Any item that could be acquired at a Farglow level would be all but worthless in even half an hour of play. ---------------- Elfrith, a sailor (Sentinel Island) ---------------- COST: 700 EXP BENEFIT: Random gem + random magical-rarity jewelry in a small chest. Elfrith saw a small chest on the large skull southwest of the Shipwreck Colony. This chest contains a gem and a magical rarity piece of jewelry, making it a good choice to save before opening and reload for an item with a skill bonus. ---------------- Erlking, mute goblin and servant of Laiken (Battle Tower) ---------------- COST: 700 EXP BENEFIT: Advance the main storyline. Erlking's mindread is necessary to advance the main storyline of the game. 'Nuff said. After mindreading him, check the bookcase in the corner and choose Gothe's Ballads, the last item on the list. ---------------- Geshniz, Black Ring Alchemist General (Geshniz's Headquarters) ---------------- COST: 2400 EXP BENEFIT: Spawns a small chest with formulas in it. Mindreading Geshniz before the fight will spawn a small chest with three formulas (two potion, one enchantment) and a random gem right behind where she starts out. The trick is that these formulas can apparently be of ANY level, from 1 to 10. Not very useful, since higher level enchantments and potions are superior, but for collectors, it is a second chance to get a missed low-level potion formula. ---------------- Gwyn, the crazy man (High Hall) ---------------- COST: 1200 EXP BENEFIT: Unlocks the nearby chest. The chest contains several items, including some limited quality potions, a random formula or two, and some random herbs. Not the best reward, but it can be nice to sell enchantment formulas for a nice amount of money. ---------------- Island, upon exiting Maxos Temple (Sentinel Island) ---------------- COST: 1400 EXP BENEFIT: Gain the EXP needed to gain one level. This is the FIRST meeting with Island, when you first enter the island from Maxos Temple. This will give you the EXP needed to gain a level, whatever amount that may be. This includes paying for any and ALL debt, even this mindread's debt. However, the most important thing of note is that Wisdom will give ADDITIONAL EXP based on the amount given! For example, if you need 10000 EXP to level up (debt included), and a level 5 Wisdom skill (10% bonus), you'll gain the level and an additional 1000 towards the next! Clear out as much of Orobas Fjords (Depleted Ore Mine is a good place for EXP) before going here to maximize the profit. It can help getting started in the Orobas Fjords proper MUCH easier. Mindread everyone possible as well, since you'll gain 10% of the mindread's value in bonus experience. ---------------- Jonah, a ghost (Sentinel Island) ---------------- COST: 700 EXP BENEFIT: Random gem + random magical-rarity armor in a small chest. Jonah tells of a small chest that might've found its way into Vacca's Cave. This chest contains a magical rarity armor and a random gem, making it pretty worthwhile. The chets itself is found on a small rock table near the middle area of the room. ---------------- Laura, treasure hunter in the Fjords (Orobas Fjords) ---------------- COST: 2400 EXP BENEFIT: Gives 3200 EXP. This is just a flat EXP boost. You gain a net of 800 EXP free (after the debt is paid), and more if you leveled either Wisdom or Mindread skills. The best thing to do is save this for after Wisdom is maxed, and equip as much Mindread boosting jewelry as possible, to get the maximum effect. ---------------- Linda, Miller Upton's daughter (Broken Valley Village) ---------------- COST: 40 EXP BENEFIT: 100 EXP, 100 gold, or a unique quest item. Mindreading Linda reveals she left her coin purse in the church. Get it to obtain the Linda's Gold Purse quest item. Returning it to her gets you 100 EXP, keeping it and opening it yourself (use it from your inventory) gets you 100 gold. If you give it back to Linda, then side with Antumbra during "Buad Blood," Linda's Gold Purse will be available to loot from her corpse. ---------------- Locke's Cart, in the village (Broken Valley Village) ---------------- COST: 120 EXP BENEFIT: Unlocks the cart. The cart contains some items, including possible formulas, some money, and a unique book. Mindreading it earns the password needed. The password may also be obtained from Keane, but only by failing "For a Pound of Flesh." ---------------- Lomax, in Jackson's Farm (Broken Valley) ---------------- COST: 40 EXP BENEFIT: Gives a dialogue option to easily complete "Feast or Famine." This mindread requires Lomax to be sitting down at Jackson's Farm (this is not the stat point mindread). It gives a dialogue option to get Lomax and his guards to leave the farm during "Feast or Famine" without fighting them, or paying them money. ---------------- Lord Lovis, in the Citadel Armory (Broken Valley) ---------------- COST: 800 EXP BENEFIT: Unlocks a chest. The chest to the left of his throne (e.g., the one on the right) is unlocked. This chest contains several random gems, herbs, ores, charms, and/or formulas, making it extremely worthwhile. ---------------- Martis, the imprisoned bandit (Broken Valley Village) ---------------- COST: 1050 EXP BENEFIT: One way to finish "Into the Bandit's Den," and a monster log entry. Martis' mindread is expensive for when it occurs, but it has two purposes. One is to get the Bandit Camp password (beetroot), and the other is a chance at getting Martis in your monster log. After mindreading him, go through the Secret Passage until you reach the final room before the barracks ladder. Two bandits will be rescuing Martis. Choose to fight them, and killing Martis earns his entry. This is the ONLY way to get it! ---------------- Montagu, the Dragon Slayer prison guard (Dragon Slayer Training Camp) ---------------- COST: 1200 EXP BENEFIT: Provides an alternate solution to "Thorn in the Side." Mindreading this guy will allow you a solution to accessing the prison that prevents having to pay 1000 gold as a bribe, or having to duel a Lv26 Dragon Slayer. Not necessary if you plan to do one of those two things instead. ---------------- Moor, thieving bandit in the Fjords (Orobas Fjords) ---------------- COST: 1200 EXP BENEFIT: Spawns a key on a ledge above Moor's camp. This key will unlock the chest in Moor's cabin on his cliffside camp. The chest contains a random magical rarity weapon, armor, or jewelry item. ---------------- Mundus, earth magic specialist (High Hall Mines) ---------------- COST: 2400 EXP BENEFIT: Offers another option to finish "The Runes of Wrath." Mindreading Mundus will allow a third option to finish the quest, separate from either killing him, or giving him the Chicken Rune. Destroying the Friendship Rune will cause the trolls to go berserk and kill Mundus in a cave- in. This gives the smaller reward that killing him gives, but without the EXP, monster list entry, or item drops. ---------------- Peavey, in jail in the barracks (Broken Valley Village) ---------------- COST: 133 EXP BENEFIT: Spawns a small chest near the Village Shrine. Mindreading Peavey when he's in jail (after finishing "High and Dry) causes a small chest to spawn behind the Village Shrine. This chest has nothing special though, usually containing an uncommon item. A rare item or some gold may occasionally be found. ---------------- Ragnar, in the Bandit Camp (Broken Valley) ---------------- COST: 400 EXP BENEFIT: Spawns a key to access a large golden chest in the Temple of Doom. Ragnar's mindread causes a key to appear on the giant stone dragon head in the Temple of Doom (the second room, not the one with the poison, or the river and lava one). It can be very hard to see. It opens the door near the large golden chest earlier in the room. This chest often contains several ingredients and/or potion recipes. Well worth saving and opening until it gives a good batch of stuff. ---------------- Ragon, ..."eccentric" bandit leader in the Fjords (Bandit Hideout) ---------------- COST: 1200 EXP BENEFIT: Spawns a bag with a random gem and a random magical rarity jewelry item in the back of the cavern Ragon is found in. ---------------- Rayhun, Black Ring General and alchemist (Rayhun's Headquarters) ---------------- COST: 2400 EXP BENEFIT: Spawns a small chest in the back of Rayhun's room. The small chest contains several ingredients, which is a fancy way of saying herbs, gems, and ore: all plentiful from traders and your own runners. There are three herbs, one ore, and one gem, to be exact. ---------------- Richard, a Champion of Aleroth (Broken Valley Village) ---------------- COST: 400 EXP BENEFIT: "Hearttaker" earns you 150 EXP and gold per heart. "Hearttaker" normally pays 50 EXP and gold per heart, but after mindreading, Richard gives 150 of each (three times the normal amount) per heart. This is VERY worthwhile if you intend to farm hearts, and probably even if you don't. ---------------- Sejanus, Champion of Aleroth (Champion Harbor) ---------------- COST: 1200 EXP BENEFIT: Spawns a sack of gold in the southwest corner of the Champion Harbor. This sack of gold contains not gold, but a random gem and a rare or higher rarity weapon or armor item! ---------------- Sepp, Zepplin assistant (Champion Harbor, roof) ---------------- COST: 2400 EXP BENEFIT: Gives 1500 EXP. This is just a flat EXP boost...or it would be, if he gave more than it costs! Even a maxed Wisdom only brings the boost to 1950 EXP. Several levels worth of Mindread AND max Wisdom are required to gain anything at all from this. Equip a Mindread boosting jewelry item to all six slots for +6 (or more, if one has +2 to Mindread), and then hope you'll have a net gain. ---------------- Storage rooms (Broken Valley) ---------------- COST: Listed below BENEFIT: Items and high level formulas. Mindreading various people enables entering and looting their storage rooms. Although the mindread gives the password, it still ONLY works if mindread. Just knowing the password yourself won't work, as you may only enter it if your character knows it. The real benefit to these storages is they contain a random formula, enchanted item, or body part of ANY level. This enables obtaining level 10 formulas quite early in the game (and level 9, too, if the malachite gem-using level 10 versions are not desired). Abanayamar (200 EXP): This is actually Miller Upton's storage, but the alchemist tree is the one you mindread for the password. The storage room is found right next to the fortune teller Sosostra's camp near the New Miner's Dig. In the chest inside is a random potion formula of any level, from 1 to 10! Dreavan (800 EXP): Dreavan's storage is easy to find: it is in his small one-room house, located in the same compound as Dreaven himself. The chest on the floor of his storage contains a random enchantment formula of ANY level from 1 to 10! Naberius (400 EXP): Naberius' storage closet is located behind some large doors on a ledge above and to the west of his usual cave. Reaching it requires obtaining all four pieces of Parchment in the valley and having ZixZax translate them, then taking the mysterious teleporter near the Chapel Shrine. His storage contains a chest with a random body part (necromancer creature parts only, no goblin, dragon elf, or ghoul) of any quality, including the best (perfect)! There is also a skill book sitting on a chair. Sir Robin (400 EXP): Robin's storage is located under a large tree in the area southeast of Dreavan's compound. The tree is suspended by its roots above the ground, with the door on the ground. The chest inside contains a bow with a random enchantment of any level, from 1 to 10! It is also the only place to find the Armored Boar enemy. Note that higher level enchantments seem rarer than weaker ones, so it may take a while. ---------------- The eight candidates (Sentinel Island) ---------------- COST: 800 EXP each, 6400 EXP total BENEFIT: Additional entries in the quest list of the logbook. This includes Jonelath, Igor, Allan, Barbatos, Hermosa, Kenneth, Wesson, and Radcliff. Mindreading each candidate will open an entry about their thoughts in your quest list in the logbook. These serve no real purpose and give no reward. They close when "The Prophecy" closes. The only point to this is to have them in the quest list. ---------------- The Three Gremory Siblings (Broken Valley, Sentinel Island, Orobas Fjords) ---------------- COST: Listed below BENEFIT: Unlocks the Gremory Chest in the southernmost part of Orobas Fjords. This chest is located in one of the "holes" in the mountain north of Rivertown Gorge. It contains a legendary rarity jewelry item. Nothing you couldn't buy in Aleroth, but nice nonetheless. George's mindread spawns the chest, Catherine's gives the password, and Arthur's informs you of the secret button, all needed to loot the chest. George Gremory (1200 EXP): In the ruins a little to the north of the South Valley Shrine in Broken Valley. He gives the quest "Lost for Words." Catherine Gremory (2100 EXP): On Sentinel Island, southwest of the Sea Side Shrine and near a giant whale skeleton. She gives the quest "The Writing on the whale." Arthur Gremory (3600 EXP): In the Imps' Lairs in Orobas Fjords, found on a cliff southeast of the entrance portal to Stone's Flying Fortress. He gives the quest "Grave Robbers" (part 4 specifically). ---------------- Tilian, in the Slayer camp (Orobas Fjords) ---------------- COST: 1200 EXP BENEFIT: Complete "Chalice of the Dragon" without bloodshed or payment. Tilian will reveal via mindread that he knows the slayers have been abusing the Chalice of the Dragon at parties. This can allow you to convince him to hand it over without killing anyone, or giving up Arben's Sword. ---------------- Tim, the barkeep of the Black Boar (Broken Valley Village) ---------------- COST: 40 EXP BENEFIT: Spawns a gold purse with 100 gold; also, discount. Tim will not only give a 25% discount for mindreading him, but also causes a gold purse with 100 gold inside to appear in the bushes outside the chapel in the village. Not much, but certainly worth 40 EXP. ---------------- Viper, in his camp south of the South Valley Shrine (Broken Valley) ---------------- COST: 400 EXP BENEFIT: A small assortment of gems. Mindread Viper when he talks to you after entering his camp just south of the South Valley Shrine in Broken Valley. This is the only chance to mindread him! When killed, he will drop two Ambers, Moonstones, and Pyrites, five Pearls, and a Ruby. ---------------- Willy, on the bridges in Broken Valley proper (Broken Valley) ---------------- COST: 400 EXP BENEFIT: Spawns a gold bag full of gold. Mindreading Willy causes a gold bag to appear behind the ritual tree in Yup'ik's goblin camp west of the South Valley Shrine. This gold bag only ever has gold, and often has a LOT; around Lv15, it can give 300+. ======================================================== ========================================================================== *15* MALACHITE GEMS ========================================================================== ======================================================== Malachite Gems are unique, rare items, used in most all level 10 enchantment recipes, and all ten Healing Aura recipes. There is a (very) limited amount throughout the game, so they must be treasured! This is a list of all known gems. Note that not all are necessarily easy or possible to get in a single game, as some are randomly generated in Malachite Ore veins, and others require giving up items necessary for quests. Two gems in particular require choosing Radcliff as your enchanter for the Battle Tower, and then selling an item vital to his quest to two Goblins. This nets two Malachite Gems, at the cost of the second upgrade to the Enchanter platform, as well as a skill book. Choosing Radcliff also automatically locks you out of another skill book, so these two gems cost 2 skill points. No other gems have such negative consequences, but several may be missed if you do not act at the proper moment. Additionally, for the quest "Sight for Sore Eyes" (and the achievement Turn a Blind Eye), you must give up two Malachite Gems to Simeon. ---------------- TOTAL (POSSIBLE) GEMS FROM MALACHITE VEINS: 64 TOTAL (OPTIMISTIC) GEMS FROM MALACHITE VEINS: 32 TOTAL (REASONABLE) GEMS FROM MALACHITE VEINS: 24 TOTAL GEMS FROM OTHER SOURCES: 11 TOTAL (POSSIBLE) GEMS IN THE ENTIRE GAME: 75 TOTAL (OPTIMISTIC) GEMS IN THE ENTIRE GAME: 43 TOTAL (REASONABLE) GEMS IN THE ENTIRE GAME: 35 ---------------- Gem 1: Purchased for 2000 gold from Merchant Lamotte in Broken Valley, or for 1500 gold if mindread for a discount. Gem 2: Purchased for 2000 gold from Merchant Lamotte in Broken Valley, or for 1500 gold if mindread for a discount. Gem 3: Mindread the sleeping trio in the area southeast of Lovis' Tower, then give them what they each ask for: an alcoholic drink (ale, beer, or wine), an apple, and a health potion (any quality). Once all three are awake, they will give you this gem as a reward. Gem 4: Purchased for 2000 gold from Carleton the merchant on the pass between the Depleted Ore Mine and Champion Harbor. The merchant is a one-time-only encounter, so make sure to buy it then and there! Apparently, the dialogue can sometimes glitch and not let you buy from him, so press the trade button (Y on the Xbox 360 controller) to make sure you get the chance to buy it. Gem 5: In a small chest in the tree fort atop Yggdrasil in the Orobas Fjords. During the story quest "Reaping the Seeds," subquest "The Second Hungry Statue," you will talk to Yggdrasil, the large tree on an island south of the Grand Knight Shrine. It will ask you to kill Charlie, the goblin, found on the island. When talking to Charlie before the fight, mindread him for 3600 EXP. This will spawn the small chest. Gem 6: Given by Beatrice in High Hall as a reward for completing "The Horror of High Hall." Gem 7: Given by Beatrice in High Hall as a reward for completing "The Horror of High Hall." Gem 8: Given by Beatrice in High Hall as a reward for completing "The Horror of High Hall," ONLY IF she is mindread before finishing the quest, and choosing the new dialogue option the mindread opens (about being sent as a sacrifice). Gem 9: Given by Beatrice in High Hall as a reward for completing "The Horror of High Hall," ONLY IF she is mindread before finishing the quest, and choosing the new dialogue option the mindread opens (about being sent as a sacrifice). Gem 10: For Radcliff's first (and only) quest, when you obtain the Goblin Stone, agree to sell it to the nearby goblins. Two Malachite Gems will be included as part of your payment. WARNING! Doing this will prevent both obtaining a skill point as part of the quest rewards, AND prevent the second upgrade to the Enchanter platform! Make sure you really want these two gems before agreeing. Additionally, these gems are unavailable if Wesson was chosen as your Enchanter. Gem 11: For Radcliff's first (and only) quest, when you obtain the Goblin Stone, agree to sell it to the nearby goblins. Two Malachite Gems will be included as part of your payment. WARNING! Doing this will prevent both obtaining a skill point as part of the quest rewards, AND prevent the second upgrade to the Enchanter platform! Make sure you really want these two gems before agreeing. Additionally, these gems are unavailable if Wesson was chosen as your Enchanter. ------------------------------------ The following is a list of all Malachite Ore veins. Each vein has a random chance of containing between 0 and 8 Malachite Gems, with 4 being quite rare, and 5 and above being almost impossible to get (see section 19.1 for more information). These veins are small, often the same color as the surrounding rock, with multicolored gems studded across the surface. They blend in to the surroundings much more effectively than other veins, so if you haven't seen one before, be careful not to accidentally "look" at it, thus ruining your chance to save and reload for gems! Malachite Ore Vein #1: Depleted Ore Mine Go to the elevator in the back, and go down two levels. In the back of the corridor are three pedestals with a Red, Blue, and Dark Book atop them. This vein is on the ground behind the pedestal with the Dark Book. Malachite Ore Vein #2: Depleted Ore Mine Go to the elevator in the back, and go down two levels. In the back of the corridor are three pedestals with a Red, Blue, and Dark Book atop them. This is on the wall north of the pedestals, tucked away in a corner. Malachite Ore Vein #3: Primordial Cave This one is found near the Patriarch, past the three hungry statues, and past the fire-filled maze and subsequent force field. As you approach the Patriarch's large chamber, this vein is found on the wall to the right of the final two large pillars, past the T intersection. Malachite Ore Vein #4: Primordial Cave This one is found near the Patriarch, past the three hungry statues, and past the fire-filled maze and subsequent force field. As you approach the Patriarch's large chamber, this vein is found on the wall to the left of final two large pillars (same ones as vein #3). It is in a small alcove that is difficult to see, so look for a broken wagon in the ground. This vein is to the left of it. Malachite Ore Vein #5: Well Cave This is found in the room where Zagan is fought. However, it requires getting it BEFORE triggering the fight. To reach it, jump along the rocks on the south side of the large chamber where Zagan is. This is easily done by going around the left side of the large dragon skeleton near the entrance. Directly south of the large Hellgate, there will be a large flat rock with two veins that stick out like a sore thumb on it. This is one of them. If you exit the cave via the teleporter in the back after killing Zagan, you can never return! Be sure not to miss these gems! Be careful not to look at Vein #6 by accident when looting this one! Malachite Ore Vein #6: Well Cave This is found in the room where Zagan is fought. However, it requires getting it BEFORE triggering the fight. To reach it, jump along the rocks on the south side of the large chamber where Zagan is. This is easily done by going around the left side of the large dragon skeleton near the entrance. Directly south of the large Hellgate, there will be a large flat rock with two veins that stick out like a sore thumb on it. This is one of them. If you exit the cave via the teleporter in the back after killing Zagan, you can never return! Be sure not to miss these gems! Be careful not to look at Vein #5 by accident when looting this one! Malachite Ore Vein #7: Lost Tomb This in inside the Lost Tomb, which requires meeting Arthur Gremory and Laura, then finding two corpses (Jimmy Dean and Jack Bolton) to get their Piece of Seal items. Inside the tomb, there is a casket in some ruins in the center of the room. After the two explorers leave, search behind a vertical wooden beam to the west of the casket to find this vein. Both veins are very visible from the center of the room. Malachite Ore Vein #8: Lost Tomb This in inside the Lost Tomb, which requires meeting Arthur Gremory and Laura, then finding two corpses (Jimmy Dean and Jack Bolton) to get their Piece of Seal items. Inside the tomb, there is a casket in some ruins in the center of the room. After the two explorers leave, search a corner of the room to the east of the southeastern pillar in the central ruins for this vein. Both veins are very visible from the center of the room. ======================================================== ========================================================================== 16 - SKILLS ========================================================================== ======================================================== This is a list of skills, some of their important stats, and tips on using them to their fullest. Skills marked with an asterisk (*) have a default point in them at all times that can never be removed, even via Unlearn all Skills. These include Mindread, Encumbrance, the Weapon Expertise skills, and Firebreath (as a dragon). The point you get for choosing a class in Farglow, as well as the dragon's default Fire Sphere point ARE removed via the unlearn function. The variables for skills are named what they are. Some names are abbreviated for space reasons, but once you know what the skill does (easy to look at it on the skill screen and get acquainted with each effect), it is easy to read the abbreviated names and know exactly what they mean. Units are always seconds (for time) and meters (for distance). Constants are listed above the stat table. Cooldown is usually a constant; only a few skills reduce cooldown as the level goes up. Passive skills are always in effect. (i.e., Life Leech, Confusion, Destruction, and Potion Efficiency) Active skills must be used, and then have a cooldown before they can be used again. (i.e., Fireball, Whirlwind, and Poison Arrows) Continuous skills must be used, and then last for a pre-determined length of time before they deactivate automatically. The cooldown begins when they deactivate, and pressing the button for the skill while active manually deactivates it. (i.e., Summon skills and "Way of the" skills) ===================================== 16.1 - PRIEST SKILLS ===================================== Priest skills are not so much priestly as they are shamanic. These skills involve summoning creatures and cursing enemies (sometimes literally) to reduce their effectiveness. This is not a "primary" class, available to choose from simply because it is too defense- and support-oriented. SUMMON UNDEAD: The Undead Abomination summoned by this tends to sit in one place and lob energy balls at enemies. The damage is low, however, even at Lv15 (which makes a Lv40 undead).

It usually sits around, lobbing energy balls that do much, much less than the Undead's version. Level 1 Continuous skill Cooldown: 90 seconds Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summon level 1 4 9 11 14 17 19 22 24 27 Duration 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 150 Mana cost 22 34 50 62 74 86 94 106 114 126 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- 30 32 35 37 40 Summon level 160 170 180 190 200 Duration 138 146 158 166 178 Mana cost FEAR: Fear drives affected enemies away from you. A few enemies, mostly demons, use this spell. This is not a terribly useful offensive tool, mostly used to give yourself some breathing room when under assault. Most major enemies are immune to it, of course. This may be useful in combination with a ranger: drive away enemies, then fire at their back. Level 3 Active skill Cooldown: 60 seconds Stats 1 2 3 4 5 -------------------------------------------- Enemy level 9 16 23 30 37 Distance 4 5 6 7 8 Duration 10 12 14 16 18 Mana cost 23 44 65 86 107 HIDE IN SHADOWS: Can be useful to pass by enemies that are too strong, however just passing enemies won't get you levels. If you get lucky, you may get a jewelry item that gives +1 to this. A single point may help, but for most of the locations where this helps the most, just 10 seconds of invisibility isn't quite enough, which means you would need level 2 or higher. Level 3 Continuous skill Cooldown: 90 seconds Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Duration 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 Mana / sec. 9 9 9 8 8 8 7 7 7 7 Mana cost 6 8 11 14 15 18 19 22 23 26 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- 60 65 70 75 80 Duration 7 7 7 7 7 Mana / sec. 27 30 31 34 35 Mana cost CHARM: May seem decent, but damage inflicted by charmed enemies does NOT count towards the EXP you will earn! Use it with caution, since it will decrease your gains from battle.

This does NOT apply to your Necromancer creature, however, so only use this if you're big on summon skills. Level 6 Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 -------------------------------------------- Damage boost 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% CURSE: This skill should be familiar to players. It is that skill Goblin Shamans tend to use that reduces your damage. This skill causes a major reduction to enemy Body/Reflex/Will stats, and reduces their overall damage output as well. Not a great spell, but you could do worse (like Charm). Level 10 Active skill Cooldown: 1 second (yes, seriously) Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enemy level 13 16 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 Distance 10 10 10 10 10 15 15 15 15 15 Damage -20% -23% -26% -29% -32% -35% -38% -41% -44% -47% CB/HR/IW -20 -23 -26 -29 -32 -35 -38 -41 -44 -47 Duration 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 Mana cost 11 14 16 18 19 21 22 24 26 27 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- 35 37 39 41 60 Enemy level 20 20 20 20 20 Distance -50% -53% -56% -59% -70% Damage -50 -53 -56 -59 -70 CB/HR/IW 70 75 80 85 120 Duration 29 30 32 34 35 Mana cost BLIND: This spell blinds enemies and reduces their ability to target you. It may work decently for a warrior, who cannot make good use of Fear like ranged and magic users can. The cooldown is large and the actual chance of success seems rather low. Level 10 Active skill Cooldown: 90 seconds Stats 1 2 3 4 5 -------------------------------------------- Enemy level 20 23 26 30 38 Duration 60 80 100 120 140 Mana cost 17 23 29 35 41 LIFE TAP: This drains 10% of your Hitpoints to replenish your Mana. Not a bad spell if you use a lot of high-cost skills, but anyone who uses melee would get more use out of a single point in Mana Leech. Wizards who never gets close and constantly cast spells and summon your Creature may consider this, if mana potions aren't plentiful enough. Note that casting this cancels out the Healing spell's effect, so use Healing AFTER casting Life Tap. Level 15 Active skill Cooldown: 60 seconds Mana Cost: 0 Stats 1 2 3 4 5 -------------------------------------------- MP per HP 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 MASTER HERBALIST: A wonderful skill... when making potions. It's of no use in battle, so its most effective if you can find random jewelry to provide points in this skill, instead of your actual skill points. Both this and upgrading your Alchemy platform will reduce the total ingredients needed for potions. All potions will always need at least one of the first ingredient on the list, though (for level 10 potions, this is either Earth Root or Fanny Blossom). Getting this skill to level 5 will reduce ALL potion costs to 1 ingredient (of the above two), regardless of how many Alchemy Garden upgrades you have. Jewelry that gives +1 to this skill is very useful! Level 15 Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 -------------------------------------------- Herbs down 15% 30% 45% 60% 80% NOTE: Some trivia. The two herbs shown being combined in the video for this skill are Rotten Earth Root and Drudanae Herb, the only two "special" herbs in this game that your runner cannot be dispatched to find, and cannot actually be used in any potions! SUMMON DEMON: This summons a demon, like you've seen many times before. The demon, unlike the undead and ghost, runs up to the enemy to fight in melee. This makes it the best "meat shield" of the summon skills. Level 20 Continuous skill Cooldown: 30 seconds Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summon level 20 23 24 25 27 28 29 31 32 33 Duration 180 200 220 240 260 280 300 320 340 360 Mana cost 98 110 114 118 126 130 134 142 146 150 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- 35 36 37 39 40 Summon level 380 400 420 440 460 Duration 158 162 166 174 178 Mana cost WAY OF THE WISE WIZARD: This skill increases your magic defense and will at the cost of magic damage. Although Lv5 has no magic damage penalty, this skill is rather weak and useless. At higher levels (e.g., any level when you can actually put points into it) the magic defense bonus is miniscule. The Indomitable Will bonus is decent, but it is hardly worth skill points JUST for that. Level 20 Continuous skill Cooldown: 30 seconds Duration: 90 seconds Stats 1 2 3 4 5 -------------------------------------------- Magic armor 15 18 21 24 27 Indom.

Attack spells and buffs are found here, and can do a lot of damage, but require constant skill points to keep up to date. A spell even a couple of levels behind your current maximum will fast become useless. MAGIC MISSILE: This is the basic rapid-fire spell in your arsenal. It is not the most powerful, but its cooldown is so low the damage will build up MUCH faster. If you're a caster, this skill should be your top priority spell. Even a melee character would find it difficult to go wrong with a Lv15 Magic Missile and Lv5 Destruction, that's how powerful it is. Level 1 Active skill Cooldown: 1 second Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Missiles 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 Damage 6 6 14 23 43 62 76 76 90 146 Mana cost 6 8 12 16 19 22 24 27 29 32 Total damage 6 12 28 36 129 186 228 304 360 584 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- 4 5 5 5 7 Missiles 178 161 191 212 177 Damage 35 37 40 42 45 Mana cost 712 805 955 1060 1239 Total damage FIREBALL: This is the "default" mage skill, and one of the two available immediately. Unfortunately, it's also the worst offensive spell in the game. It has an absurd cooldown, and its chance of setting the enemy on fire is laughable, even at Lv15. Avoid this and use Magic Missile until Firewall and Magic Blast are available. It is an area-of-effect spell, at least, though its range is low until higher levels. Still, a dedicated mage (e.g., one that uses only spells, and never touches melee) MIGHT have a use for this, but spamming Magic Missile is so powerful against even the largest groups you will encounter it takes priority, especially due to other necessary skills (such as Destruction, Confusion, Potion Efficiency, and so on).

This is not only magic, but physical skills, and even summoning your Creature. A very useful skill to reduce mana usage. Invest in it if you find yourself often running low on mana. Level 3 Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 -------------------------------------------- MP cost % 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% POLYMORPH: This skill turns the enemies into ladybugs, rendering them harmless. Unlike most status skills, this one has no level requirement, making it quite useful even with one point. More than one is probably not worth it for this reason, although enemy groups makes that somewhat weak. Each level only one or two of its critical stats goes up or down, but the mana cost keeps growing in large amounts.

This can be incredibly useful, especially if your magic seems to be having little effect. As a side note, the confusion chance even affects certain enchantments, namely Damage Aura, Magic Damage Aura, and Static Charge Aura. Each time the energy orb hits an enemy, it rolls to inflict the stun! Level 7 Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 -------------------------------------------- Stun chance 5% 7% 9% 12% 15% Duration 1 2 3 4 5 MAGIC BLAST: This is the massively-powerful single-target spell of Divinity II. It will deal massive damage to a single enemy, but only one at a time. At max level and with Destruction, this should be able to kill any enemy in the entire game in a single casting. This puts Fireball to shame. Level 6 Active skill Cooldown: 15 seconds Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # of hits 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 Damage 20 28 45 130 166 228 277 332 391 626 Mana cost 32 38 50 59 65 74 80 86 92 101 Total damage 60 84 135 520 664 912 1108 1660 1955 3130 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- 5 5 6 6 7 # of hits 713 805 902 1062 1177 Damage 107 113 119 128 134 Mana cost 3565 4025 5412 6372 8239 Total damage MANA LEECH: Ah, Mana Leech. The most effective way to replenish MP for anyone who uses melee combat even a tiny bit. One point in this is all you'll ever need. Seriously, any more than a point in this skill is a waste. It only works for melee combat, so casting spells and using bows won't activate it. Level 10 Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Success % 80% 81% 82% 83% 84% 85% 86% 87% 88% 89% MP drained 10% 12% 14% 16% 18% 20% 22% 24% 26% 28% 11 12 13 -------------------- 90% 91% 92% Success % 30% 32% 34% MP drained DESTRUCTION: This handy skill boosts the damage output of spells. This can significantly boost the damage of mages that use stuff like Magic Missile, Fireball, and Magic Blast. This does NOT affect magic damage on melee and ranged attacks, though. Some enchantments, namely Damage Aura, Magic Damage Aura, and Static Charge Aura also have their damage boosted by this. This is an excellent use of skill points for anyone who relies on spells and the listed enchantments. Lv2 has an odd one-off case of diminishing returns, though this is not a concern as the average increase is 10% over the five levels. Level 10 Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 -------------------------------------------- Damage boost 18% 20% 30% 40% 50% FIREWALL: This is an area-of-effect spell centered around your character. This may not sound powerful in its stats, but it is incredibly potent when actually used. If enemies can be trapped inside the circle, this will demolish anything. It has a long cooldown, but its potency is worthwhile. Level 15 Active skill Cooldown: 30 seconds Duration: 5 seconds Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Damage / sec 58 82 100 122 132 156 234 250 256 322 Mana cost 29 34 37 40 41 44 47 49 52 55 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- 340 382 424 448 496 Damage / sec 56 59 62 64 67 Mana cost HEALING: This is the only skill which can actively heal you. It is useful at lower levels, but once you get to Lv30+, the usefulness tends to fade as your HP grows but this spell healing remains. Increasing Healing's level boosts its recovery, but also shortens the duration of the effect, so you recover more HP faster. It has an obscenely high mana cost.

This boosts magic damage output at the cost of magic defense and indomitable will. At max level, it has no penalty, and this will boost the magical damage of weapons AND spells. This is an excellent skill. Level 20 Continuous skill Cooldown: 30 seconds Duration: 90 seconds Stats 1 2 3 4 5 -------------------------------------------- Magic damage 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% Magic armor -20 -15 -10 -5 0 Indom. Will -20 -15 -10 -5 0 Mana cost 49 53 57 59 63 ===================================== 16.3 - WARRIOR SKILLS ===================================== Warrior skills inflict melee damage with whatever weapons you have equipped. Most skills deal your base melee damage at the first level, meaning even one point in many of these skills is useful to take advantage of their utility, such as Whirlwind's area-of-effect attack, or Rush Attack's ability to cover distance. All skills in this category may be used even without a melee weapon equipped; this will use your fists and the Unarmed Expertise skill. All should have the same range as with a weapon equipped, unlike normal melee attacks. Although the damage scales with your melee damage, either put just one point into the skills, or max them out; anything else is just a waste of points. One important consideration is for dual-wielders: when these melee skills are used, it uses the total melee damage of both of your weapons. Normally, dual-wield attacks use each weapon's damage individually, leading to two lower-damage hits during normal combos. Skills inflict all the damage in a single blow. WHIRLWIND: Essential for breaking the thousands of crates, barrels, urns, and baskets throughout the game. It also hits all nearby enemies for melee damage, and even at level 1, it does your base damage (plus 1.5 extra) to all enemies it hits. Put one point in here, no matter what melee weapon (if any) you use. Level 1 Active skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bonus damage 1.5 6 14 20 56.5 83 103.5 138.5 166 211 Knockdown 10% 13% 16% 19% 22% 25% 28% 31% 34% 37% Mana cost: 11 15 20 24 28 32 35 39 42 46 Cooldown 5 5 5 5 4 4 4 3 3 3 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- 333.5 378.5 451 503.5 588.5 Bonus damage 40% 43% 46% 49% 52% Knockdown 50 52 56 59 63 Mana cost 2 2 2 2 1 Cooldown RUSH ATTACK: This is another essential melee skill. This jets you right to the targeted enemy, dealing multiplier-based bonus damage. This is an excellent skill and at least one point should be put into it. Although it has a multiplier effect, its cooldown and minimum range make it less effective to sink points into. Once you're up close to an enemy, you need to move a fair distance away to use this again. The mana cost is dirt cheap, however. Level 1 Active skill Cooldown: 5 seconds Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Damage mult. 1x 1.2x 1.4x 1.6x 1.8x 2x 2.2x 2.4x 2.6x 2.8x Knockdown 30% 35% 40% 45% 50% 55% 60% 65% 70% 75% Mana cost 4 6 8 9 11 13 14 15 16 18 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- 3x 3.2x 3.4x 3.6x 4x Damage mult. 80% 85% 90% 95% 100% Knockdown 20 21 22 23 25 Mana cost JUMP ATTACK: This is less of a useful melee skill. It is passive, not active, affecting the downswing you perform when you attack mid-air. This adds linear damage and chance of knockdown to this swing. Although it can be potent, it requires a separate jump attack each time. Each swing also has a hidden mana cost that is not displayed anywhere but your mana gauge. Don't bother with this skill unless you plan to use it as a primary attack. Level 3 Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bonus damage 9 20 32 45 130 185 252 332 422 667 Knockdown 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% 50% 55% 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- 805 954 1120 1298 1494 Bonus damage 60% 65% 70% 75% 80% Knockdown FATALITY: This sounds awesome: an INSTANT KILL! It works on anything, too! Even bosses!!! Oh, except that it requires their HP to be quite low before it will work. This isn't a bad skill, per se, but unless you plan to max it out first and foremost, the skill points in here would be much more effective to spend on other skills that will increase damage at all times. Level 3 Active skill Cooldown: 5 seconds Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kills below 10% 13% 16% 19% 22% 25% 28% 31% 34% 37% Mana cost 14 15 22 27 30 34 36 40 43 47 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- 40% 43% 46% 49% 52% Kills below 50 54 56 60 63 Mana cost DEFENSIVE POSTURE: This is the melee version of Way of the Wise Wizard. It increases melee defense and conditioned body at the cost of melee and ranged damage. At Lv5, it ceases to reduce your damage, however the defensive buff it grants is not very effective, and a pittance later in the game. This is not really worth the points. The initial bonuses are weaker and the later ones stronger than Wise Wizard, though, as this is a lower level skill to start. Level 6 Continuous skill Cooldown: 30 seconds Stats 1 2 3 4 5 -------------------------------------------- Melee armor 4 12 20 28 36 Condi.

This is a potent skill for anyone who engages in melee combat often, and who uses melee damage weapons (instead of magical damage versions). Unlike Wise Wizard, Battle Mage, and Defensive Posture, the penalties to armor with this skill grow higher and higher, so at max level, it reduces armor by much more than the first levels. Keep that in mind. Level 6 Continuous skill Cooldown: 30 seconds Duration: 120 seconds. Stats 1 2 3 4 5 -------------------------------------------- Melee damage 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% Melee armor -4 -12 -20 -28 -36 Mana cost 27 39 51 63 75 LIFE LEECH: This is the HP version of mana leech. Each hit has a certain chance of restoring your HP by a certain percent of damage dealt. Unlike Mana Leech, this is NOT a one hit wonder skill. The more points in this the better, for anyone who uses melee a decent amount. This only works for melee damage, so if you don't melee often (or at all), this skill is worthless. Level 10 Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Success % 10% 12% 14% 16% 18% 20% 22% 24% 26% 28% HP drained 7% 9% 11% 13% 15% 18% 20% 22% 24% 26% 11 12 13 -------------------- 30% 32% 34% Success % 28% 30% 32% HP drained BLEED: This skill adds a chance of causing bleeding with each hit. This is a very useful skill, since the bleeding damage is based on your total damage, not a set amount. This means the stronger you get, the stronger the bleed gets. In addition, the higher the level, the faster it does the damage. When there is a chance of inflicting 100% of the damage over one second, this skill is truly fearsome. As usual, this only applies to melee attacks, not magic or ranged. All levels do ~100% of your hit's damage, but spread over several seconds. Levels above 10 are not very effective uses of points.

This is a very useful skill, but something of a one hit wonder. The first point gives +0.21% to regen, with later points giving +0.02 to 0.04%. This can be very useful for any amount of skill points, but weigh carefully if you need THAT much regen, as natural regen is of little good in hectic, deadly battles. This skill's bonus is added to the "Regeneration rate" listed under Strength in your stat screen. With 50 Strength, six level 10 Healing Aura enchantments, and this skill maxed, you will have a 2.8% HP regen per second!

This is the most costly skill in the game, and rather strange for a warrior. It is a rapid-fire combo attack, very potent. Each strike does the damage multiplier's damage, so having this skill at high levels will blow enemies into next week. While each hit counts as a melee hit for the purpose of skills that affect them (like Leech skills), the mana cost is not deducted until the combo finishes, so Mana Leech will NOT repay this skill's cost unless you are able to use it twice consecutively (requiring a little less than double the mana cost in total mana to do). Level 15 Active skill Cooldown: 15 seconds Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Damage mult. 1x 1.1x 1.2x 1.3x 1.4x 1.5x 1.6x 1.7x 1.8x 1.9x Knockdown 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% 50% 55% Mana cost 236 272 296 320 332 356 380 392 416 440 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- 2x 2.1x 2.2x 2.3x 2.4x Damage mult. 60% 65% 70% 75% 80% Knockdown 452 476 500 512 536 Mana cost DEATH BLOW: This skill increases the chance of inflicting a critical hit. This amount is added to your weapon's critical hit chance. This is a decent skill, as a critical hit deals double damage, so although each point in this skill only gives +1% to +3% to critical rate, that's actually not terrible. Unfortunately, this skill's damage still pales in comparison to others. Rangers need this skill, though, as critical hits are important for ranged attacks to maximize damage, especially with a high Heightened Reflexes stat. A dual-wield critical setup, with Butcher enchantments, can also make this a useful way to maximize damage. Level 20 Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Crit. chance 3% 4% 6% 7% 9% 10% 12% 13% 15% 16% 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- 18% 19% 21% 22% 30% Crit. chance REFLECT: Returning damage to the enemy? Sounds great, right? This is not actually reflecting damage, though. It works like the Retribution Aura enchantment, except the chance of activating is 100%. A percentage of the damage the enemy deals to you will be automatically inflicted on them. The problem? Your HP, and the damage you take, are about an order of magnitude lower than your enemy's HP. This means even at max level, this skill will fail to inflict a lot of damage. If you absolutely need it, put a single point here, so that SOME damage is returned each attack. Subsequent points are wasted on this skill.

All active skills require a bow equipped to use, although some of the passive skills are extremely nice. Explosive Arrows is the be-all and end-all of ranged attacks in the game, though. Splitting Arrows is the only ranged attack that actually uses your ranged damage stat to determine damage. POISON ARROWS: This is the basic ranger skill, and decent at the start, but quickly becomes worthless. The total damage it does, even at max level, is eclipsed by almost any other damage source, as there is no way to further boost it. Ditch this skill after getting your skill trainer, or just don't take it in the first place. Level 1 Active skill Cooldown: 5 seconds Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Damage / sec 1 2 4 5 16 23 33 43 60 98 Duration 10 10 9 9 8 8 7 7 6 6 Mana cost 4 6 8 9 11 13 14 15 16 18 Total damage 10 20 36 45 128 184 231 301 360 588 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- 143 161 239 265 413 Damage / sec 5 5 4 4 3 Duration 20 21 22 23 25 Mana cost 715 805 956 1060 1239 Total damage RANGER SURPRISE: This fires a non-damaging arrow that causes heavy losses to the enemy's defensive stats, especially melee armor. This makes it more useful for a warrior as opposed to a ranger. The bonus is of questionable value, and best saved for bosses. Level 1 Active skill Cooldown: 3 seconds Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Melee armor -30 -35 -40 -45 -50 -55 -60 -65 -70 -75 Range armor -5 -10 -15 -20 -25 -30 -35 -40 -45 -50 Magic armor -5 -10 -15 -20 -25 -30 -35 -40 -45 -50 Mana cost 4 6 8 9 11 13 14 15 16 18 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- -80 -85 -90 -95 -100 Melee armor -55 -60 -65 -70 -90 Range armor -55 -60 -65 -70 -75 Magic armor 20 21 22 23 25 Mana cost RANGER STRENGTH: This is the bow's version of the weapon expertise skills. Each point increases the ranged damage of your bow. Unlike the expertise skills, however, this only boosts ranged damage, NOT magical. This helps improve the damage bows put out, but since the best ranged skills ignore your ranged damage, the value of this skill is somewhat questionable. For sheer power later on, put the 15 points you'd spend on this into Explosive Arrows. Only use this if you pick away with a bow, or spam Splitting Arrows. Level 3 Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Range damage 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% 50% 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- 55% 60% 65% 70% 75% Range damage STUN ARROWS: These inflict stun on the enemy that takes the arrow. This may seem useful, but it only hits one enemy at a time, and the stun's duration is not the greatest. The cooldown time further reduces the usefulness of this skill. Try it out, but depending on it may be difficult. Level 3 Active skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Duration 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Mana cost 14 18 22 27 30 34 36 40 43 47 Cooldown 20 20 19 19 18 18 17 17 16 16 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- 12 13 14 15 16 Duration 50 54 56 60 63 Mana cost 15 15 15 15 15 Cooldown RANGER STEALTH: This skill reduces the range at which enemies detect your presence. This is actually a decent skill, and a couple point in it let you get much closer before enemies attack. At high levels, this skill can apparently be pretty effective, to a fault, even, so use at your own discretion. Two points seems to be the required amount to get the most out of this skill. This skill only works while you have a bow armed (not just equipped, but actually wielded). Level 7 Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 -------------------------------------------- Range down 14% 22% 28% 34% 40% POTION EFFICIENCY: More from a potion. Great, right? This skill boosts the effect of ALL potions. This means more healing and more stats. This is useful since your HP and MP keep going up, but potion healing stays the same for a given level of potion. Points after Lv5 are less effective. Note that at Lv5, ultimate stat potions will boost the stat by 43 points, and at Lv10, it will be 50 points. Full Resistance will give 34 total armor at Lv5, and 40 at Lv10. Unfortunately this won't increase the Intelligence gained from the Potion of Wisdom you win from Geshniz. Level 6 Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Effect boost 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 55% 60% 65% 70% 75% SPLITTING ARROWS: Multiple arrows! This skill fires multiple of your normal arrows in one volley. Useful against large groups, but the cooldown reduces its usefulness. If damage is your goal later in the game, Explosive Arrows will be much, much stronger, hit more enemies more reliably (including hitting through walls), and cause knockdown. Level 10 Active skill Cooldown: 5 seconds Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Targets 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Mana cost 29 35 41 45 49 53 57 61 65 69 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- 12 13 14 15 16 Targets 73 77 81 85 89 Mana cost EVADE: Avoiding melee attacks is the purpose of this skill. This is a one hit wonder that can still be useful above Lv1. This gives the listed percent chance of evading a melee attack entirely. This doesn't work on ranged or magic attacks, but just the melee evasion is nice. All characters should put a point here, and more can help stay alive if melee enemies tend to damage you too much. Pumping it to max level will give a 50% evasion chance, which is pretty nice. Level 10 Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Evade chance 10% 12% 14% 16% 18% 20% 22% 24% 26% 28% 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- 30% 32% 34% 36% 50% Evade chance EXPLOSIVE ARROWS: Overpowered against everything but bosses, especially once its cap has been raised. Even on hard difficulty, enemy groups will be utterly demolished by its power and incredibly low (for the damage dealt) cooldown and mana cost. It also ignores all stats of both your character and the bow, aside from critical chance (from the bow, and Death Blow), and the bonus damage from Heightened Reflexes. Be wary of putting too many points into this skill if you want any challenge from the game. Level 15 Active skill Cooldown: 5 seconds Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Damage 260 370 456 554 606 720 844 1170 1334 1514 Radius 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Knockdown 10% 12% 14% 16% 18% 20% 22% 24% 26% 28% Mana cost 29 34 37 40 41 44 47 49 52 55 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- 1610 1804 2014 2124 2942.5 Damage 15 16 17 18 20 Radius 30% 32% 34% 36% 50% Knockdown 56 59 62 64 67 Mana cost (My god, what have you done. The blood, the screams. You're a monster for getting this skill to level 15. Damain is innocent compared to your bloody hands. Unlearn your skills before you kill us all.) WAY OF THE RANGER: The ranged version of Battle Mage and Battle Rage. Too bad it couldn't have rhymed too. "Battle Page" sounds decent, though doesn't fit that well. Standard procedure: ranged damage boost at the cost of armor ratings. Except holy crap, look at that massive percentage boost in damage. Too bad ranged attacks need it so desperately, otherwise this would be as broken as Explosive Arrows (wishful thinking).

Your weapon proficiencies are here, as well as general effects like Mindreading and other EXP or inventory effects. MINDREAD: The first point in this skill is given in Farglow, and is permanent. It "unlocks" mindreading. Subsequent points just reduce the EXP cost of mindreading. This is a very useless skill to put actual points into, but a decent one to find jewelry that give a bonus for it. Don't fret too much over the mindread cost of people. Lv15 gives a 100% discount, but that is a horrible waste of skill points. Level 1 Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXP discount 0% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% 50% 55% 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- 60% 65% 70% 75% 100% EXP discount WISDOM: This skill boosts the EXP gain from all sources - enemies, quests, and anything else. The value of this skill seems highly debated; some say it is useless as it just makes enemies give less EXP faster, although the less EXP is because you gained that level sooner. If nothing else, save most or all of the Orobas Fjords quests till the end of the game, then max Wisdom and turn them all in for a huge EXP boost. Wisdom's bonus EXP is listed separately, so you always know just how much it's giving you. Level 3 Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bonus EXP 2% 4% 6% 8% 10% 12% 14% 16% 18% 20% 11 12 13 14 15 -------------------------------- 22% 24% 26% 28% 30% Bonus EXP LOCKPICK: This is a simple five-level skill that lets you open (most) locked chests and doors. Each locked object has a level, and you need at least that level in Lockpick to open it. It is probably worth maxing this out as soon as possible and keeping it the entire game, as many treasures, great and small, will be behind locked objects. Note that some chests that have a key can also be opened via lockpick, and if your lockpick level is high enough, it will ALWAYS be used to open it, meaning you keep that key forever. FOREVER. There is no way of knowing the lockpick level of a chest or door, except by trying to open it. If you can't, you need a higher level. Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 -------------------------------------------- Lockpick lvl 1 2 3 4 5 ENCUMBRANCE: This affects your inventory size. One point is in this skill by default, and is permanent, setting you at a 100-item inventory. Although most people consider additional points a supreme waste, if you're an item collector, or just a packrat, this skill is essential. Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 -------------------------------------------- Capacity 100 120 140 160 180 UNARMED EXPERTISE: This affects fighting when you have no melee weapons equipped, or just a shield. Many consider this skill useless compared to using weapons, but a properly raised character, focusing on Strength, and using melee skills can do decent damage with this. It's still not as useful and effective throughout the game as wielding a weapon, but it's not weak to the point of being useless. One point is permanently invested by default. Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Damage bonus 5% 15% 29% 54% 67% 81% 94% 107% 121% 134% 11 12 13 -------------------- 138% 142% 146% Damage bonus SINGLE-HANDED WEAPON EXPERTISE: This affects fighting when you have a single one-handed melee weapon equipped, leaving your other melee slot vacant. This has an advantage in swinging speed, but its power if extremely low compared to other weapon expertise skills. This is possibly the worst possible choice to make, aside from Unarmed. One point is permanently invested by default. Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Damage bonus 2% 5% 9% 12% 15% 19% 22% 25% 29% 34% 11 12 13 -------------------- 34% 35% 36% Damage bonus DUAL-WIELDING EXPERTISE: This affects fighting when you have a one-handed melee weapon in both melee slots. This is the most potent form of fighting, outpacing damage from everything except Two-Handed. Melee skills, when used with this, use the total damage of both weapons combined for their output, making this skill truly destructive. At Lv10 and after, put the stronger weapon in your off hand. On top of that, each weapon applies BOTH weapons' enchantments and charms to the damage, which is probably an oversight, but an extremely powerful one. One point is permanently invested by default. Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hnd dmg 1% 3% 5% 7% 9% 11% 13% 15% 17% 19% Off hand dmg -70% -60% -50% -40% -30% -20% -10% 0 10% 20% 11 12 13 -------------------- 21% 23% 25% Main hnd dmg 30% 40% 50% Off hand dmg SWORD AND SHIELD EXPERTISE: This affects fighting when you have a one-handed weapon and a shield equipped. This is a decent skill that gives a good damage bonus for the cost of some of Single-Handed Weapon's speed, but the bonus to the shield is negligible, and doesn't affect enchantment-based bonuses. This is your only option for using a shield, but consider Dual-Wield or Two-Handed instead. One point is permanently invested by default. Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Damage bonus 0 7% 14% 21% 28% 35% 42% 49% 56% 63% Shield bonus 5% 8% 11% 14% 17% 20% 23% 26% 29% 32% 11 12 13 -------------------- 70% 77% 84% Damage bonus 34% 36% 38% Shield bonus TWO-HANDED WEAPON EXPERTISE: This affects fighting when you have a two-handed weapon equipped. Two-handed weapons have a much wider arc in their swing, allowing hitting multiple enemies. Their animation is pretty fast. considering their size. The damage variance for the weapons are much greater, though. This is definitely a top-tier choice, like Dual-Wield. One point is permanently invested by default. Passive skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Damage bonus 1% 4% 7% 10% 13% 16% 19% 22% 25% 28% 11 12 13 -------------------- 31% 34% 37% Damage bonus ===================================== 16.6 - DRAGON SKILLS ===================================== These skills are used in your dragon form, and have their own separate skill points. There are 29 total free dragon skill points in the game, and 34 are needed to max all seven skills (it would be 35, but Firebreath has one permanent point in it). With three skill-boosting pieces of armor, you can have 32 of 34 skill levels. When choosing which skill to shortchange, I would recommend Dragon Polymorph or Summon Friend. Polymorph is the best bet, as more levels just means more enemies affected in a single shot, and longer duration. Make sure at least one point is in Polymorph, however, as it IS quite a useful skill! FIREBREATH: Your basic breath attack. This skill is not as important to max as Fire Sphere and Dragon Spirit, however. The damage increase is nice, but against most flying enemies Fire Sphere is needed to have any accuracy at all. A point is in this skill by default, and is permanent. Special skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 -------------------------------------------- Damage / sec 40 47 53 60 67 Mana / sec 60 73 80 87 93 DRAGON BURST: Seems useful, but its range isn't as far as you would hope, and the power is middling. It may be better than other skills, but don't depend too much on it. There are rarely enough enemies close enough to make this a useful option, and since it locks you into place for a couple of seconds, it is easy to rack up damage while using it. Active skill Stats 1 2 3 4 5 -------------------------------------------- Damage 240 276 312 348 384 Mana cost 74 83 92 101 110 Cooldown 30 28 26 24 22 FIRE SPHERE: This is your bread and butter as a dragon. Max it immediately. each shot homes in on the targeted enemy, and will set them on fire, too, dealing more damage over time than the initial hit. This will likely be your main weapon against enemy flyers, since your short-range Firebreath can have trouble hitting them reliably. You start with a default point in this skill that CAN be removed via Unlearn All Skills. Active skill Fire duration: 8 seconds Stats 1 2 3 4 5 -------------------------------------------- Damage 200 230 260 290 320 Mana cost 29 33 36 40 44 Cooldown 5 5 5 5 4 SUMMON FRIEND: Summons a wyvern ally to attack and divert other enemies in the air. This can be a decent thing, but mostly as a meatbag to draw enemy attacks away from you. Still, dragon battles tend to be more difficult than land ones, so a summon to distract the enemies could be much more useful than one would think, based on the Undead, Ghost, and Demon your human form can conjure. Continuous skill Cooldown: 5 seconds Stats 1 2 3 4 5 -------------------------------------------- Summon level 20 23 26 29 32 Duration 60 70 80 90 100 Mana cost 49 55 61 67 73 DRAGON POLYMORPH: A much more useful skill than it may seem. It works on pretty much any dragon enemy, including the Dragon Commanders and their incredibly annoying full healing spells. This is essentially the only reliable way to kill them. Don't invest too many levels into this, though. Higher levels only make it affect more enemies at once and last longer, but there are rarely more than 2 enemies you're "targeting" at any given time, and even level 1 lasts long enough to kill an afflicted Dragon Commander.

Also, casting Dragon Spirit will cancel the shield, and using the shield while Spirit is active will automatically negate the shield (basically, the shield goes up for a split second, then vanishes). Continuous skill Mana per second: 41 mana Stats 1 2 3 4 5 -------------------------------------------- Duration 10 15 20 25 30 Shield HP 252 282 312 342 372 Mana cost 49 55 61 67 73 Cooldown 60 58 56 54 52 DRAGON SPIRIT: The only way for the dragon to heal its HP. Max this ASAP, soon after Fire Sphere if possible. You will need the health it restores, as even ultimate healing potions sometimes don't dent your dragon's HP, and Potion Efficiency doesn't work in dragon form.

This is a list of which buffs and stats add which titles. Note that when items are first generated (as loot or a shop item), they use the first enchantment and buff as the title. After that, whichever enchantment was last added determines the title. Buffs are the special effects in blue text. Enchantments are in beige. When an item is disenchanted, it retains the title of the last enchantment added. Some special items that can be found (listed in section 2 of this guide) have enchantment titles without ever actually having had an enchantment, such as the Mace and Slayerbane. Normally, damage-based buffs (melee/ranged/magic damage and critical hit bonuses) only occur on weapons, and defensive buffs (melee/ranged/magic armor bonuses) only on armor, but charms will add their effect to the buff list. Buff titles seem to be based on some value of the item, with "stronger" items having progressively "stronger" sounding titles. This seems to be more based on the item type, or source of the item, instead of the actual value of the buff. Sometimes, the wrong title is used (such as Spiritual on an item that gives +1 to Conditioned Body, not Indomitable Will). This makes little sense, but happens. I've tested numerous theories for WHY this happens, but nothing makes much sense. So, the buff titles are accurate 80-90% of the time. The name format used by items is: ([Rarity]) [Buff title] [Item name] of (the) [Enchantment title]. ------------------------------------ Weapon, Armor, and Jewelry Prefixes (from buffs) Title name

SPECIAL, AND (OFTEN) USELESS ITEMS ========================================================================== ======================================================== This is a list of the parameters of various items in the game that don't fit anywhere else. Many of these are useless or serve the same purpose as other items, but I felt it criminal to not give them a quick rundown, especially in a game with such well-defined and far-reaching systems and frameworks of items. ===================================== 18.1 - CONSUMABLES Name Item type Value ===================================== These are items in the fourth pocket (consumables) in your inventory, between jewelry and quest items. All of these can be used for an effect, however the value and (sometimes) consequences for using them may be diverse. ---------------- Allan Brew Small Potion 1260 gold ---------------- Allan rewards one of these potions for finishing his first quest, "Allan Brew Confidential." The formula of the same name adds it to your potion list, as well, and more can be made for a cost of 4x Black Rose, Dragon Nail, Earth Root, Holy Basil, and Whisperwood. This potion, when used, increases all armour ratings by 36 for 180 seconds, making it 50% more effective than the Potion of Ultimate Full Resistance. If Barbatos was chosen, this potion can never be obtained, as Allan will never have perfected it. ---------------- Eaten Fish Dish Food 15 gold ---------------- This is just a basic food item, worth 15 gold instead of 9. Despite having apparently been "eaten," it is a normal food item. (1): Found at Camp Freedom, northeast of Jievaras, the legendary tree. ---------------- Eaten Pork Dish Food 15 gold ---------------- This is just a basic food item, worth 15 gold instead of 9. Despite having apparently been "eaten," it is a normal food item. (1): Found in Raze's flying fortress, at a Black Ring camp directly north of the entrance to the fortress area. (2): In Kali's flying fortress, in a large camp on the southern island (where the Headquarters is located). It is on a lower tier, near the southeastern part of the landmass. ---------------- Eaten Turkey Dish Food 15 gold ---------------- This is just a basic food item, worth 15 gold instead of 9. Despite having apparently been "eaten," it is a normal food item. (1): Found in Raze's flying fortress, at a Black Ring camp directly north of the entrance to the fortress area. ---------------- Fish Food 25 gold ---------------- This fish item has a red fish icon. It is a food item, although it cannot be found randomly, like most food. Despite having a value of 25 instead of the normal 9, it acts like a normal food item. (1): 8 of these can be bought from Mullet at his shop outside of the Champion Harbor building. ---------------- Fish Food 25 gold ---------------- This fish item has a gold fish icon. It is a food item, although it cannot be found randomly, like most food. Despite having a value of 25 instead of the normal 9, it acts like a normal food item. (1): 4 of these can be bought from Mullet at his shop outside of the Champion Harbor building. ---------------- Fish Dish Food 25 gold ---------------- This is a food item, although it cannot be found randomly, like most food. Despite having a value of 25 instead of the normal 9, it acts like a normal food item. (1): 6 of these can be bought from Mullet at his shop outside of the Champion Harbor building. ---------------- Potion of Wisdom Large Potion 0 gold (cannot be sold, stored, destroyed) ---------------- Dropped by Geshniz in her Headquarters in Broken Valley. This potion, if used, gives a permanent +5 bonus to Intelligence. It is required to finish Allan's second quest, so you only get to use it if you chose Barbatos. If Allan was chosen, you can still technically use it yourself, however it will fail his second quest, denying you the EXP and gold, a skill book, and the second upgrade to the Alchemy Garden. ---------------- Turkey Dish Food 25 gold ---------------- This is a food item, although it cannot be found randomly, like most food. Despite having a value of 25 instead of the normal 9, it acts like a normal food item. (1): Found in Keara's fortress. The exact location is difficult to describe, but it is on a table in a walled-in section. This is on the tier of land right above (and northwest of) a large flat area with three prison cages on it, in the middle northwest sectioon of the fortress. It is about 2/3 of the way up on the fortress island. ===================================== 18.2 - OTHER Name Item type Value ===================================== These are items in the sixth and final pocket of your inventory (with quest items before). These largely serve no purpose other than an occasional quest purpose, but mostly take up space or are meant to be sold. The useless ones can be discerned by looking for the entries with significantly less description. ---------------- Allan Brew Formula Formula 3780 gold ---------------- Given by Allan for completing "Allan Brew Confidential." This requires having chosen Allan as your Alchemist on Sentinel Island. This is the only copy of the formula in the game, and if sold or destroyed, it will be lost forever. ---------------- Bottle Bottle 1 gold (same buy and sell value) ---------------- A useless piece of kitchenware, not even worth the inventory space. (1): Very rarely found by breaking crates, barrels, etc. (2): Randomly sold by the Hermit on Sentinel Island. ---------------- Cup Cup 1 gold (same buy and sell value) ---------------- A useless piece of kitchenware, not even worth the inventory space. (1): Very rarely found by breaking crates, barrels, etc. (2): Randomly sold by the Hermit on Sentinel Island. ---------------- Dish Dish 1 gold (same buy and sell value) ---------------- A useless piece of kitchenware, not even worth the inventory space. (1): Very rarely found by breaking crates, barrels, etc. (2): Randomly sold by the Hermit on Sentinel Island. ---------------- Drudanae Herbs Herb 5000 gold ---------------- A controlled substance in the form of an herb. This is needed to complete the subquest "A Puff of Drudanae" for the quest "Down the Hatch." After finishing "The Runes of Wrath," it can be obtained by either buying it from Nicolas in High Hall, who stocks a single Drudanae Herbs item, or by mindreading him, obtaining the key under the pillow in his house, and taking the secret door next to his bed to a cliff in High Hall, where a Drudanae plant sits. This plant works like any other herb plant, and will give 2 to 5 of the herb, randomly. Mindreading him also gives a 25% discount, so the herb Nicolas stocks will only cost 3750 gold. A total of 6 Drudanae Herbs items may be obtained, 5 of which are yours to keep. ---------------- Hammer Hammer 1 gold (same buy and sell value) ---------------- Two of these are found on the table inside Nicolas' House in High Hall (in Orobas Fjords). Like the random utensils and cookware, they seem to have no actual function. ---------------- Knife Knife 1 gold (same buy and sell value) ---------------- A useless piece of kitchenware, not even worth the inventory space. (1): Very rarely found by breaking crates, barrels, etc. (2): Randomly sold by the Hermit on Sentinel Island. ---------------- Letter (1) Scroll 5 gold ---------------- This seems like a book, but it's not a normal one. Two can be found on Sentinel Island, but both require dragon form. Found inside an open casket on the hills east of the Battle Tower (near two chests). This one tells of a person named "M" who wanted to be buried in the shadow of the tower. Serves no real purpose. (the (1) in the item's name is just to differentiate the items, and does not appear in the game itself) ---------------- Letter (2) Scroll 5 gold ---------------- This seems like a book, but it's not a normal one. Two can be found on Sentinel Island, but both require dragon form. Found in a tent on the northern point of a mountain range with the top just above the poison gas, and tells that the person writing the note would rather die and have his remains scattered in the ocean than for the necromancer to claim him. Serves no real purpose. (the (2) in the item's name is just to differentiate the items, and does not appear in the game itself) ---------------- Lever Handle Quest Item 0 gold (cannot be sold) ---------------- A handle for a broken lever. Three are found throughout the game, and are needed to replace broken levers. One is mandatory to complete the storyline, as part of the quest "X marks the spot." Another is needed to fix the elevator in the Well Cave in High Hall, to reach Zagan and complete the quest "The Horror of High Hall." The third is used to fix a lever in Ba'al's Mine in Broken Valley, although this one only allows access to some randomly generated treasure, and is not needed to finish the quest. The lever handles themselves are completely interchangable. (1): Found in a small lockbox in a corner of the fire trap room in the Primordial Cave (past the hungry dragon statues). (2): Another is found in a chest on the middle floor in the Well Cave. The elevator initially only goes down one floor, and at the end of the corridor on that floor is a chest with the lever inside. (3): The third is found in a chest in the Mine, found in Broken Valley. This mine houses Ba'al, the archdemon in possession of the sigil needed for the Hall of Echoes. It rests in a chest in the southwestern corner of the mine. NOTE: The lever handles can be destroyed. If all three are either used or destroyed before the lever in the Primordial Cave is fixed, the game will be rendered unwinnable! ---------------- Mug Mug 1 gold (same buy and sell value) ---------------- A useless piece of kitchenware, not even worth the inventory space. (1): Very rarely found by breaking crates, barrels, etc. (2): Randomly sold by the Hermit on Sentinel Island. ---------------- Note Scroll 5 gold ---------------- This seems like a book, but it's not a normal one. This note is found on the floor at the entrance of Keara's Headquarters in her flying fortress. It tells of someone who insists that all of the statues lie, giving a needed hint for solving the statue puzzle. ---------------- Pan Pan 1 gold (same buy and sell value) ---------------- A useless piece of kitchenware, not even worth the inventory space. (1): Very rarely found by breaking crates, barrels, etc. (2): Randomly sold by the Hermit on Sentinel Island. (3): Found in a wyvern nest partway up the spire east of Vacca's Cave, also on Sentinel Island. ---------------- Plate Plate 1 gold (same buy and sell value) ---------------- A useless piece of kitchenware, not even worth the inventory space. (1): Very rarely found by breaking crates, barrels, etc. (2): Randomly sold by the Hermit on Sentinel Island. ---------------- Rope (version 1) Junk 1 gold (same buy and sell value) ---------------- This is found in several places throughout the game. The icon has a coil of light-colored rope. One of either this or Rope 2 is required to finish the quest "Stuck in a Hole." This quest does NOT consume the rope, however. Merchant Lamotte in Broken Valley sells one of this item. ---------------- Rope (version 2) Junk 1 gold (same buy and sell value) ---------------- This is slightly less common than the first rope. It is a bundle of rope, not a coil. One of either this or Rope 1 is required to finish the quest "Stuck in a Hole." This quest does NOT consume the rope, however. ---------------- Rotten Earth Root Herb 9 gold ---------------- A useless version of the Earth Root herb. Locke (in Broken Valley's Black Boar pub) stocks 10 of these, but never gets any more. There are 9 Rotten Earth Root herb patches on Sentinel Island, in the southeast corner, each holding 2 to 5. In total, this makes for 55 possible Rotten Earth Roots, although like all herbs, only 50 can be in a stack. Mindreading Sam (at the Shipwreck Colony) will allow you to give him a Rotten Earth Root, but this raises his prices by 10%. The herb runner in the Battle Tower cannot be dispatched to find Rotten Earth Root. ---------------- Scribbled Note Scroll 5 gold ---------------- This seems like a book, but it's not a normal one. This scroll is found under a skeleton in one room of the "Eternal Maze" of the Maxos Temple. It is on the floor behind what looks like an altar, with several intact dragon statues around it (some atop two sets of three columns on either side of the altar). The room has a red glow to it, and is one of the two rooms with a secret passage leading to a lever needed to exit the maze. It contains no useful information, just "Eternal Maze" written over and over, like some type of minimalist poetry. ---------------- Scroll Scroll 5 gold ---------------- This seems like a book, but it's not a normal one. These scrolls seems like they would be a book, but aren't. Using it opens a dialogue box wherein the scroll tells you what it knows. It is the message to Jimmy and Jack from whoever sent his part of the seal, telling them of the Lost Tomb and the treasures within. It serves no actual purpose, and is just flavor text. (1): Found on the corpse of Jimmy Dean, near a teleporter on a high cliff northwest of Champion Harbor (between the harbor and the path to High Hall). (2): Found on the corpse of Jack Bolton, in a wyvern nest on a lower cliff along the northern cliffs northwest of Jievaras, the legendary tree. ---------------- Spoon Spoon 1 gold (same buy and sell value) ---------------- A useless piece of kitchenware, not even worth the inventory space. (1): Very rarely found by breaking crates, barrels, etc. (2): Randomly sold by the Hermit on Sentinel Island. ---------------- Tankard Tankard 1 gold (same buy and sell value) ---------------- A useless piece of kitchenware, not even worth the inventory space. (1): Very rarely found by breaking crates, barrels, etc. (2): Randomly sold by the Hermit on Sentinel Island. ---------------- Vacca's Gem Gem 5000 gold (same buy and sell value) ---------------- Vacca's prized gem, a large square-shaped green gem. It is located in Vacca's Cave on Sentinel Island. It may only be picked up prior to or during "Ghostbuster," otherwise Vacca picks it up himself. If the quest is turned in with the gem in your possession, Vacca demands it returned. Refusing to will cause him to turn hostile and attack. Killing him earns his monster list entry, and he drops the Wyvern Fat quest item, but the quest fails. Selling the gem and then turning in the quest has no negative consequences. There is no purpose to this gem aside from selling or making Vacca hostile to kill him, and no way of obtaining the gem without failing the quest. "A big shiny gem that belongs to the Dragon Elf Vacca." ======================================================== ========================================================================== *19* VARIOUS LISTS ========================================================================== ======================================================== This is just random lists that were added in because they were simple and possibly useful. ===================================== 19.1 - ORE VEIN CONTENTS LIST Vein type Ore Gem 1 Gem 2 ===================================== Black Rock Vein Black Rock Obsidian Pyrite Droxlerite Ore Vein Droxlerite Opal Spinel Fossil Ore Vein Fossil Sapphire Topaz Gold Ore Vein Gold Ore Quartz Crystal Iron Ore Vein Iron Diamond Amber Malachite Ore Vein Malachite Ore Malachite Gem Aquamarine Red Ore Vein Red Ore Ruby Moonstone Venom Stone Ore Vein Venom Stone Emerald Tiger's Eye Each vein has anywhere from 5 to 8 total items. The probability of 5, 6, 7, or 8 items is even (25% chance of each). Although 2 to 8 of an ore, and 2 to 4 of either gem (or mixed between both) are the most common results, there can actually be 0 to 8 of any of the items. 8 gems is possible, although extremely rare, as the below probabilities will display. The chances for any given amount of ore from a vein are as follows: Ore Probability 0 0.006% 1 0.14% 2 1.37% 3 6.86% 4 18.97% 5 28.61% 6 23.98% 7 15.05% 8 5.01% The chances for any given amount of a single gem are as follows: Gems Probability Average Attempts 0 54.09% 2 1 34.55% 3 2 9.64% 10 3 1.54% 65 4 0.16% 641 5 0.01% 9,732 6 0.0004% 230,955 7 0.00001% 9,357,497 8 0.0000001% 850,606,805 The number of attempts is the average number of attempts at checking the vein before reaching an even chance of getting that result. As these lists show, the chances of getting no ore is extremely low, as are the chances of getting 4 or more gems (of either kind the vein offers). As it says, the above table is the chance of getting the listed amount of a SINGLE gem, regardless of what the other contents of the vein are (if any). As Malachite Ore Veins are a source of the very limited Malachite Gems, needed for level 10 enchantments (and any of the coveted Healing Aura enchantments), getting multiple gems is a very useful thing. However, getting more than 3 is extremely difficult and tedious. Based on both the above numbers, and personal experience, getting 4 Malachite Gems takes an order of magnitude longer than getting 3, nevermind getting 5 or more! Big thanks to Nilwarp for figuring out how ore vein content generation works! Here is a link to his original document, going a bit more in-depth into how the probabilities work: http://www.evermoreforums.com/johnny/info/d2prob.txt ===================================== 19.2 - RARITY PROPERTIES Name Color Buffs Charm slots Enchantments ===================================== Normal White None None None Uncommon White 1 random buff 0 to 1 None Rare Blue 1 random buff 0 to 1 1 enchantment Magical Lg. Green 2 random buffs 0 to 2 1 enchantment Heroic Dk. Green 3 random buffs 0 to 3 1 enchantment Legendary Yellow 4 random buffs 0 to 4 1 enchantment Epic Red 5 random buffs 0 to 4 2 enchantments Unique Red 5 random buffs 0 to 4 3 enchantments Rarity determines an item's attributes. Most quest rewards always award items of a specific rarity. Shops often stock only items of specific rarities. Buffs can be increases to any stats, with some restrictions. Melee, Ranged, and Magic Damage buffs only occur on weapons. Melee, Ranged, and Magic Armor buffs only appear on armor, along with Conditioned Body, Heightened Reflexes, and Indomitable Will. Critical Chance is weapon-only as well. Jewelry counts as armor, but can also have skill bonuses as buffs. Jewelry can only have Magic Armor buffs, not Melee or Ranged. A weapon's buffs only apply while it is armed (a bow will not give its bonuses if you currently have melee armed). Any item can have any buff provided by charms, including Melee Damage-boosting armor, or Armor-boosting weapons. Epic rarity items are only dropped by the opponents in the Arena within the Hall of Echoes: Marius, Sassan, Amdusias, Laiken, and Lady Kara. They each drop a single piece of Epic equipment. Maruis and Amdusias drop shields or armor, and Sassan, Laiken, and Lady Kara drop melee weapons and bows. Unique rarity items are only dropped by the archdemon Ba'al, in the Broken Valley mine. He drops two unique rarity items. They may be melee weapons, bows, shields, or armor. Ba'al drops another Unique item when he is fought again in the Hall of Echoes Arena, but this one can only be a shield or armor. The two Lv34 opponents in the final battle also drop Unique rarity armor or weapons. In all, there are five Epic and five Unique pieces of equipment in the game. ===================================== 19.3 - DIVINE CHARMS ===================================== Divine charms are the highest class of charm in the entire game, equivalent of level 5 charms. Lesser, Minor, Major, Blessed, Divine. However, they cannot be purchased or found normally! Certain bosses drop them as part of their loot, and this is a list of those bosses. Note that sometimes the boss might drop a blessed or weaker charm instead. Reload and re-kill until they drop the divine charm. The charms, like all, are random in which stat they actually boost, selected from: Vitality, Spirit, Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Melee Damage, Melee Armor, Ranged Armor, Magic Armor, Conditioned Body, Heightened Reflexes, and Indomitable Will. All boost the listed stat by +5, except for Melee Damage, which gives +10. Charm 1: Laiken Battle Tower - Throne Room During "Laiken in his Lair." Seems to always drop, even if you kill Razakel first and haven't damaged Laiken (thus denying you the EXP from Laiken, yet still earning his drops). Charm 2: Laiken's Chest Battle Tower - Throne Room This chest sits behind the throne in the Throne Room of the Battle Tower. This is one of two charms in the chest. This chest will only appear if Laiken is mindread in the Throne Room BEFORE killing him! Charm 3: Laiken's Chest Battle Tower - Throne Room This chest sits behind the throne in the Throne Room of the Battle Tower. This is one of two charms in the chest. This chest will only appear if Laiken is mindread in the Throne Room BEFORE killing him! Charm 4: Stone Stone's Flying Fortress - Arena Black Ring General Stone drops this charm upon his second defeat, and subsequent death, in the Arena of Stone's flying fortress. Charm 5: Raze Raze's Flying Fortress - Headquarters Black Ring General Raze drops this charm when killed. He is found in the Headquarters of his own flying fortress. Charm 6: Geshniz's Chest Broken Valley - Geshniz's Headquarters Geshniz, a lower level Black Ring commander, has a golden chest in her headquarters with the Plate Dragon Claws. This charm is inside. THIS CHARM DOES NOT ALWAYS APPEAR! Make sure to save the game before checking the chest, in case it fails to appear! NOTE: I have been informed that this chest (and Rayhun's) will very rarely contain TWO Divine Charms. There are probably two checks the game makes when determining the loot in the chest that can possibly roll a Divine Charm, but this is a very rare phenomenon. Charm 7: Rayhun's Chest Broken Valley - Rayhun's Headquarters Rayhun, Black Ring commander and alchemist, has a golden chest in his headquarters with the Crystal Dragon Leggings. The charm is inside. THIS CHARM DOES NOT ALWAYS APPEAR! Make sure to save the game before checking the chest, in case it fails to appear! NOTE: I have been informed that this chest (and Geshniz's) will very rarely contain TWO Divine Charms. There are probably two checks the game makes when determining the loot in the chest that can possibly roll a Divine Charm, but this is a very rare phenomenon. Charm 8: Kali Kali's Flying Fortress - Headquarters Black Ring General Kali drops this charm. Much like all the generals, find her headquarters, then find her inside, and kill her. Charm 9: Ba'al Broken Valley - Mine Ba'al, the demon that ended Lord Lovis' reign, drops a Divine Charm. His destruction is needed to earn the Hall of Echoes Sigil, which is necessary to finish the game. Charm 10: Marius Hall of Echoes - Arena Marius is the first opponent you encounter in the Arena within the Hall of Echoes. He drops this charm. Charm 11: Laiken Hall of Echoes - Arena Laiken is the fourth opponent you encounter in the Arena within the Hall of Echoes. He drops this charm. Charm 12: Ba'al Hall of Echoes - Arena Ba'al is the final opponent you encounter in the Arena within the Hall of Echoes. He drops this charm. ===================================== 19.4 - STONE'S FORTRESS GREENERY COMBINATIONS ===================================== In Stone's Fortress Greenery (one of the rooms in his flying fortress), you will find a lathe wooden chest with five herb buds inside: Black Rose, Fanny Blossom, Moonshine, Oak Tears, and Holy Basil. You can drop any two buds into the spring in the final room of the Greenery. You will be rewarded with one normal herb of whichever bud you dropped in first, and another reward based on which two buds were used. Black Rose + Fanny Blossom = Broom (cannot be picked up) Black Rose + Holy Basil = Well-Crafted Heavy Iron Axe Black Rose + Moonshine = +1 skill point Black Rose + Oak Tears = Balanced Heavy Short Bow Fanny Blossom + Holy Basil = Normal Light Iron Cleaver Fanny Blossom + Moonshine = Balanced Light Steel Sword Fanny Blossom + Oak Tears = +1000 experience points Holy Basil + Moonshine = Normal Light Noble Hammer Holy Basil + Oak Tears = +5 stat points Moonshine + Oak Tears = Nothing ===================================== 19.5 - ENCHANTMENTS, POTIONS, AND LEVELS ===================================== There is a minimum level that must be reached before each level of potion and enchantment formulas may be found. Incidentally, these align themselves with the bonus for the Increase Damage, Increase Magic Damage, Increase Mana, and Lifeline enchantment amounts! Lvl Title Character Necromancer title 1 Limited Level 1 Rotten 2 Minor Level 3 Infested 3 Lesser Level 6 Damaged 4 Moderate Level 9 Slightly damaged 5 Substantial Level 12 Preserved 6 Greater Level 15 Well-preserved 7 Advanced Level 18 Clean 8 Major Level 21 Clean-cut 9 Extreme Level 24 Fresh 10 Ultimate Level 27 Perfect There are some exceptions. The possible enchantments found on equipment is based on the ITEM'S level, it seems. An item can have any enchantment that is within its level. Therefore, a Lv30 item can have ANY enchantment, but a Lv1 item will be limited to Lv1 enchantments. This means that finding unique equipment with randomized enchantments at a low level has a chance of getting enchantments that are otherwise unavailable at that level. Some pre-determined chests and possibly quest rewards may also allow obtaining a formula item that is a level or two above your character's. Items dropped by enemies use the enemy's level for determining the range of formulas and body parts possible. After certain levels, lower-level formulas and body parts are no longer found. As time goes on, this means anything below level 5 potion formulas and body parts will not be found any longer, and thus can be missed permanently. There is one small chest late in the game (requiring mindreading someone before killing them) that may contain potion formulas of any level, so it provides one last chance at a single missed formula. Body parts seem to have a slightly different availability curve than formulas do. Each level of body part starts appearing later than listed, and lower- level parts stop appearing sooner, too. Level 30 seems to be the minimum for Perfect-quality body parts to appear in Grimm's "store." At level 38 and beyond, only Perfect parts will appear in the store. ===================================== 19.6 - EXPERIENCE TABLES ===================================== This is a list of each level and the EXP needed to reach it. The formula to calculate the EXP needed for any given level is: E = 100 * (L^3 - L) / 3 Level Total EXP needed EXP needed from last level Lv1 0 EXP +0 Lv2 200 EXP +200 Lv3 800 EXP +600 Lv4 2,000 EXP +1,200 Lv5 4,000 EXP +2,000 Lv6 7,000 EXP +3,000 Lv7 11,200 EXP +4,200 Lv8 16,800 EXP +5,600 Lv9 24,000 EXP +7,200 Lv10 33,000 EXP +9,000 Lv11 44,000 EXP +11,000 Lv12 57,200 EXP +13,200 Lv13 72,800 EXP +15,600 Lv14 91,000 EXP +18,200 Lv15 112,000 EXP +21,000 Lv16 136,000 EXP +24,000 Lv17 163,200 EXP +27,200 Lv18 193,800 EXP +30,600 Lv19 228,000 EXP +34,200 Lv20 266,000 EXP +38,000 Lv21 308,000 EXP +42,000 Lv22 354,200 EXP +46,200 Lv23 404,800 EXP +50,600 Lv24 460,000 EXP +55,200 Lv25 520,000 EXP +60,000 Lv26 585,000 EXP +65,000 Lv27 655,200 EXP +70,200 Lv28 730,800 EXP +75,600 Lv29 812,000 EXP +81,200 Lv30 899,000 EXP +87,000 Lv31 992,000 EXP +93,000 Lv32 1,091,200 EXP +99,200 Lv33 1,196,800 EXP +105,600 Lv34 1,309,000 EXP +112,000 Lv35 1,428,000 EXP +119,000 Lv36 1,554,000 EXP +126,000 Lv37 1,687,200 EXP +133,200 Lv38 1,827,800 EXP +140,600 Lv39 1,976,000 EXP +148,200 Lv40 2,132,000 EXP +156,000 Lv41 2,296,000 EXP +164,000 Lv42 2,468,200 EXP +172,200 Lv43 2,648,800 EXP +180,600 Lv44 2,838,000 EXP +189,200 Lv45 3,036,000 EXP +198,000 Lv46 3,243,000 EXP +207,000 Lv47 3,459,200 EXP +216,200 Lv48 3,684,800 EXP +225,600 Lv49 3,920,000 EXP +235,200 Lv50 4,165,000 EXP +245,000 Lv51 4,420,000 EXP +255,000 Lv52 4,685,200 EXP +265,200 Lv53 4,960,800 EXP +275,600 Lv54 5,247,000 EXP +286,200 Lv55 5,544,000 EXP +297,000 Lv56 5,852,000 EXP +308,000 Lv57 6,171,200 EXP +319,200 Lv58 6,501,800 EXP +330,600 Lv59 6,844,000 EXP +342,200 Lv60 7,198,000 EXP +354,000 ======================================================== ========================================================================== *20* ENCHANTMENTS AND POTIONS ========================================================================== ======================================================== This is a list of all formulas and effects of Enchantments and Potions. Recipes for both can be found as formulas (which are consumed when given to an Enchanter or Alchemist). Enchantments may also be "removed" from an item to add that enchantment to your recipe list. Potion formulas are hard to come by early on (see the Potion section for details), but all enchantments can be easily enough obtained later on, from buying junk from stores that have the ones you want. Note that talking to an Enchanter or Alchemist takes one formula for each recipe you do not yet have, leaving any extras. After talking to them, you are free to sell any remaining recipes, as they are already on the list. Upgrading the Enchanter platform will reduce the cost of either Weapon, Armor, or Jewelry (which is upgraded is the player's choice) enchanting by 1 ingredient of each type, to a minimum of 1. Thus, this cannot reduce the cost of an ingredient to 0. This may be done twice, once for each upgrade, and the same item type may be selected twice. All herbs, ore, and gems used in enchanting and alchemy can be acquired in infinite amounts from your runners, EXCEPT Malachite Gems (Malachite Ore is infinite, though). Gems are very limited, and the level 10 recipe of most enchantments requires one. Use level 9 recipes (usually only a loss of a point or two) until you find equipment you're sure you'll use forever. The only exception is the Healing Aura jewelry enchantment: all levels use a Malachite Gem. Beware! ===================================== 20.1 - WEAPON ENCHANTMENTS ===================================== These enchantments may be applied to any melee weapon or ranged weapon. Note that when dual-wielding, ALL enchantments on ALL equipped weapons are added to EACH weapon. If two swords each have Increased Damage 10, each sword will get two bonuses of +27 to the melee damage, one from the first sword, and one from the second. This is what makes dual-wielding so powerful, and why it eclipses other weapon expertises in damage output. For enchantments with a % chance of occurring, multiple enchantment of the same type (e.g., Fire Curse) will stack the chance, but not effect. So two Fire Curse 1 enchantments (5% chance of 2 damage) will give a 10% chance of 2 damage. One Malachite Gem is required for the level 10 enchantment of Increased Damage, Increased Magical Damage, and Butcher. Venom Stones are required for every level of the Poison enchantment (one for levels 1 and 2, two for 3/4, three for 5/6, four for 7/8, and five for 9/10). ---------------- LIFE LEECH: (X) chance of converting (Y) damage done into hitpoints. ---------------- 1: 5% / 5% Amber x1, Iron x1 2: 6% / 7% Amber x1, Iron x2 3: 7% / 9% Amber x1, Droxlerite x1, Fossil x1 4: 8% / 11% Amber x2, Droxlerite x2, Fossil x2, Red Ore x1 5: 9% / 13% Amber x2, Gold Ore x1, Red Ore x1 6: 10% / 15% Amber x2, Gold Ore x2, Red Ore x2 7: 11% / 17% Amber x3, Droxlerite x1, Red Ore x2 8: 12% / 19% Amber x3, Droxlerite x2, Red Ore x3 9: 13% / 21% Amber x3, Black Rock x1, Red Ore x3 10: 15% / 25% Amber x4, Black Rock x2, Malachite Ore x1, Red Ore x4 Stacking: Due to the fact dual-wielding melee weapons will apply both weapons' enchantments to each weapon, it is possible to stack Life Leech. Only the chance of activation stacks, however. This means two level 10 Life Leech enchantments will give a 30% total chance of activating. ---------------- POISON: (X) chance of poisoning your enemy on a successful hit doing (Y) damage over 1 second. ---------------- 1: 5% / 2 dmg Aquamarine x1, Iron x1 2: 6% / 6 dmg Aquamarine x1, Iron x2 (levels 1 and 2 also needs Venom Stone x1) 3: 7% / 12 dmg Aquamarine x1, Droxlerite x1, Fossil x1 4: 8% / 18 dmg Aquamarine x2, Droxlerite x2, Fossil x2, Red Ore x1 (levels 3 and 4 also needs Venom Stone x2) 5: 9% / 24 dmg Aquamarine x2, Gold Ore x1, Red Ore x1 6: 10% / 30 dmg Aquamarine x2, Gold Ore x2, Red Ore x2 (levels 5 and 6 also needs Venom Stone x3) 7: 11% / 36 dmg Aquamarine x3, Droxlerite x1, Red Ore x2 8: 12% / 42 dmg Aquamarine x3, Droxlerite x2, Red Ore x3 (levels 7 and 8 also needs Venom Stone x4) 9: 13% / 48 dmg Aquamarine x3, Black Rock x1, Red Ore x3 10: 15% / 54 dmg Aquamarine x4, Black Rock x2, Malachite Ore x1, Red Ore x4 (levels 9 and 10 also needs Venom Stone x5) Stacking: Due to the fact dual-wielding melee weapons will apply both weapons' enchantments to each weapon, it is possible to stack Poison. Only the chance of activation stacks, however. This means two level 10 Poison enchantments will give a 30% total chance of activating. ---------------- FIRE CURSE: (X) chance of igniting your enemy on a successful hit doing (Y) damage over 1 second. ---------------- 1: 5% / 2 dmg Crystal x1, Iron x1 2: 6% / 6 dmg Crystal x1, Iron x2 3: 7% / 12 dmg Crystal x1, Droxlerite x1, Fossil x1 4: 8% / 18 dmg Crystal x2, Droxlerite x2, Fossil x2, Red Ore x1 5: 9% / 24 dmg Crystal x2, Gold Ore x1, Red Ore x1 6: 10% / 30 dmg Crystal x2, Gold Ore x2, Red Ore x2 7: 11% / 36 dmg Crystal x3, Droxlerite x1, Red Ore x2 8: 12% / 42 dmg Crystal x3, Droxlerite x2, Red Ore x3 9: 13% / 48 dmg Crystal x3, Black Rock x1, Red Ore x3 10: 15% / 54 dmg Crystal x4, Black Rock x2, Malachite Ore x1, Red Ore x4 Stacking: Due to the fact dual-wielding melee weapons will apply both weapons' enchantments to each weapon, it is possible to stack Fire Curse. Only the chance of activation stacks, however. This means two level 10 Fire Curse enchantments will give a 30% total chance of activating. ---------------- MANA LEECH: (X) chance of converting (Y) damage done into spirit points. ---------------- 1: 5% / 5% Emerald x1, Iron x1 2: 6% / 7% Emerald x1, Iron x2 3: 7% / 9% Emerald x1, Droxlerite x1, Fossil x1 4: 8% / 11% Emerald x2, Droxlerite x2, Fossil x2, Red Ore x1 5: 9% / 13% Emerald x2, Gold Ore x1, Red Ore x1 6: 10% / 15% Emerald x2, Gold Ore x2, Red Ore x2 7: 11% / 17% Emerald x3, Droxlerite x1, Red Ore x2 8: 12% / 19% Emerald x3, Droxlerite x2, Red Ore x3 9: 13% / 21% Emerald x3, Black Rock x1, Red Ore x3 10: 15% / 25% Emerald x4, Black Rock x2, Malachite Ore x1, Red Ore x4 Stacking: Due to the fact dual-wielding melee weapons will apply both weapons' enchantments to each weapon, it is possible to stack Mana Leech. Only the chance of activation stacks, however. This means two level 10 Mana Leech enchantments will give a 30% total chance of activating. ---------------- INCREASED DAMAGE: Increases your normal damage by (X). (Increases Melee or Ranged damage, depending on weapon type) ---------------- 1: +1 damage Moonstone x1, Iron x1 2: +3 damage Moonstone x1, Iron x2 3: +6 damage Moonstone x1, Droxlerite x1, Fossil x1 4: +9 damage Moonstone x2, Droxlerite x2, Fossil x2, Red Ore x1 5: +12 damage Moonstone x2, Gold Ore x1, Red Ore x1 6: +15 damage Moonstone x2, Gold Ore x2, Red Ore x2 7: +18 damage Moonstone x3, Droxlerite x1, Red Ore x2 8: +21 damage Moonstone x3, Droxlerite x2, Red Ore x3 9: +24 damage Moonstone x3, Black Rock x1, Red Ore x3 10: +27 damage Moonstone x4, Black Rock x2, Malachite Ore x1, Red Ore x4 (level 10 also requires Malachite Gem x1) ---------------- INCREASED MAGICAL DAMAGE: Increases your magical damage by (X). ---------------- 1: +1 damage Diamond x1, Iron x1 2: +3 damage Diamond x1, Iron x2 3: +6 damage Diamond x1, Droxlerite x1, Fossil x1 4: +9 damage Diamond x2, Droxlerite x2, Fossil x2, Red Ore x1 5: +12 damage Diamond x2, Gold Ore x1, Red Ore x1 6: +15 damage Diamond x2, Gold Ore x2, Red Ore x2 7: +18 damage Diamond x3, Droxlerite x1, Red Ore x2 8: +21 damage Diamond x3, Droxlerite x2, Red Ore x3 9: +24 damage Diamond x3, Black Rock x1, Red Ore x3 10: +27 damage Diamond x4, Black Rock x2, Malachite Ore x1, Red Ore x4 (level 10 also requires Malachite Gem x1) ---------------- BUTCHER: Butcher increases your critical chance by (X). ---------------- 1: +1% crit rate Obsidian x1, Iron x1 2: +2% crit rate Obsidian x1, Iron x2 3: +3% crit rate Obsidian x1, Droxlerite x1, Fossil x1 4: +4% crit rate Obsidian x2, Droxlerite x2, Fossil x2, Red Ore x1 5: +5% crit rate Obsidian x2, Gold Ore x1, Red Ore x1 6: +6% crit rate Obsidian x2, Gold Ore x2, Red Ore x2 7: +7% crit rate Obsidian x3, Droxlerite x1, Red Ore x2 8: +8% crit rate Obsidian x3, Droxlerite x2, Red Ore x3 9: +9% crit rate Obsidian x3, Black Rock x1, Red Ore x3 10: +11% crit rate Obsidian x4, Black Rock x2, Malachite Ore x1, Red Ore x4 (level 10 also requires Malachite Gem x1) ===================================== 20.2 - ARMOR ENCHANTMENTS ===================================== These enchantments may be applied to any shield or armor piece (armor, helmet, gauntlets, and leggings). For enchantments with a % chance of occurring, multiple enchantments of the same type (e.g., Retribution Aura) will stack the chance, but not effect. So three Retribution Aura 1 enchantments (10% chance of returning 20% damage) will give a 30% chance of returning 20% damage. One Malachite Gem is required for all level 10 armor enchantments. ---------------- INCREASED MANA: Increases your mana by (X). ---------------- 1: +1 mana Opal x1, Iron x1 2: +3 mana Opal x1, Iron x2 3: +6 mana Opal x1, Droxlerite x1, Fossil x1 4: +9 mana Opal x2, Droxlerite x2, Fossil x2, Venom Stone x1 5: +12 mana Opal x2, Gold Ore x1, Venom Stone x1 6: +15 mana Opal x2, Gold Ore x2, Venom Stone x2 7: +18 mana Opal x3, Droxlerite x1, Venom Stone x2 8: +21 mana Opal x3, Droxlerite x2, Venom Stone x3 9: +24 mana Opal x3, Black Rock x1, Venom Stone x3 10: +27 mana Opal x4, Black Rock x2, Malachite Ore x1, Venom Stone x4 (level 10 also requires Malachite Gem x1) ---------------- LIFE LINE: Increases your hitpoints by (X). ---------------- 1: +1 mana Pearl x1, Iron x1 2: +3 mana Pearl x1, Iron x2 3: +6 mana Pearl x1, Droxlerite x1, Fossil x1 4: +9 mana Pearl x2, Droxlerite x2, Fossil x2, Venom Stone x1 5: +12 mana Pearl x2, Gold Ore x1, Venom Stone x1 6: +15 mana Pearl x2, Gold Ore x2, Venom Stone x2 7: +18 mana Pearl x3, Droxlerite x1, Venom Stone x2 8: +21 mana Pearl x3, Droxlerite x2, Venom Stone x3 9: +24 mana Pearl x3, Black Rock x1, Venom Stone x3 10: +27 mana Pearl x4, Black Rock x2, Malachite Ore x1, Venom Stone x4 (level 10 also requires Malachite Gem x1) ---------------- MELEE PROTECTION: Increases your melee armor rating with (X). ---------------- 1: +2 armor Pyrite x1, Iron x1 2: +3 armor Pyrite x1, Iron x2 3: +4 armor Pyrite x1, Droxlerite x1, Fossil x1 4: +5 armor Pyrite x2, Droxlerite x2, Fossil x2, Venom Stone x1 5: +6 armor Pyrite x2, Gold Ore x1, Venom Stone x1 6: +7 armor Pyrite x2, Gold Ore x2, Venom Stone x2 7: +8 armor Pyrite x3, Droxlerite x1, Venom Stone x2 8: +9 armor Pyrite x3, Droxlerite x2, Venom Stone x3 9: +10 armor Pyrite x3, Black Rock x1, Venom Stone x3 10: +11 armor Pyrite x4, Black Rock x2, Malachite Ore x1, Venom Stone x4 (level 10 also requires Malachite Gem x1) ---------------- RANGED PROTECTION: Increases your ranged armor rating with (X). ---------------- 1: +2 armor Quartz x1, Iron x1 2: +3 armor Quartz x1, Iron x2 3: +4 armor Quartz x1, Droxlerite x1, Fossil x1 4: +5 armor Quartz x2, Droxlerite x2, Fossil x2, Venom Stone x1 5: +6 armor Quartz x2, Gold Ore x1, Venom Stone x1 6: +7 armor Quartz x2, Gold Ore x2, Venom Stone x2 7: +8 armor Quartz x3, Droxlerite x1, Venom Stone x2 8: +9 armor Quartz x3, Droxlerite x2, Venom Stone x3 9: +10 armor Quartz x3, Black Rock x1, Venom Stone x3 10: +11 armor Quartz x4, Black Rock x2, Malachite Ore x1, Venom Stone x4 (level 10 also requires Malachite Gem x1) ---------------- MAGIC PROTECTION: Increases your magic armor rating with (X). ---------------- 1: +2 armor Ruby x1, Iron x1 2: +3 armor Ruby x1, Iron x2 3: +4 armor Ruby x1, Droxlerite x1, Fossil x1 4: +5 armor Ruby x2, Droxlerite x2, Fossil x2, Venom Stone x1 5: +6 armor Ruby x2, Gold Ore x1, Venom Stone x1 6: +7 armor Ruby x2, Gold Ore x2, Venom Stone x2 7: +8 armor Ruby x3, Droxlerite x1, Venom Stone x2 8: +9 armor Ruby x3, Droxlerite x2, Venom Stone x3 9: +10 armor Ruby x3, Black Rock x1, Venom Stone x3 10: +11 armor Ruby x4, Black Rock x2, Malachite Ore x1, Venom Stone x4 (level 10 also requires Malachite Gem x1) ---------------- MAGIC DAMAGE AURA: Enemies that harm you with magic have a (X) chance of suffering 1 shock of (Y) magic damage. ---------------- 1: 5% / 2 dmg Topaz x1, Iron x1 2: 6% / 6 dmg Topaz x1, Iron x2 3: 7% / 12 dmg Topaz x1, Droxlerite x1, Fossil x1 4: 8% / 18 dmg Topaz x2, Droxlerite x2, Fossil x2, Venom Stone x1 5: 9% / 24 dmg Topaz x2, Gold Ore x1, Venom Stone x1 6: 10% / 30 dmg Topaz x2, Gold Ore x2, Venom Stone x2 7: 11% / 36 dmg Topaz x3, Droxlerite x1, Venom Stone x2 8: 12% / 42 dmg Topaz x3, Droxlerite x2, Venom Stone x3 9: 13% / 48 dmg Topaz x3, Black Rock x1, Venom Stone x3 10: 15% / 54 dmg Topaz x4, Black Rock x2, Malachite Ore x1, Venom Stone x4 (level 10 also requires Malachite Gem x1) Stacking: The chance of Magic Damage Aura activating will stack, so four level 10 MDAs would have a 60% chance of activating. This stacks with the Jewelry version of the enchant, making it possible to reach a 100% activation rate for MDA (requires seven total MDA enchantments). Eight level 9 MDA enchantments would be needed for the 100% activation rate. NOTE: Magic Damage Aura's damage can be increased by leveling the Destruction skill. Additionally, the Confusion skill will give it a chance to stun enemies with each hit. ---------------- RETRIBUTION AURA: (X) chance of automatic retaliations against those that harm you for (Y) of the damage done to you. ---------------- 1: 10% / 20% Spinel x1, Iron x1 2: 12% / 23% Spinel x1, Iron x2 3: 14% / 26% Spinel x1, Droxlerite x1, Fossil x1 4: 16% / 29% Spinel x2, Droxlerite x2, Fossil x2, Venom Stone x1 5: 18% / 32% Spinel x2, Gold Ore x1, Venom Stone x1 6: 20% / 35% Spinel x2, Gold Ore x2, Venom Stone x2 7: 22% / 38% Spinel x3, Droxlerite x1, Venom Stone x2 8: 24% / 41% Spinel x3, Droxlerite x2, Venom Stone x3 9: 25% / 44% Spinel x3, Black Rock x1, Venom Stone x3 10: 30% / 47% Spinel x4, Black Rock x2, Malachite Ore x1, Venom Stone x4 (level 10 also requires Malachite Gem x1) Stacking: The chance of Retribution Aura activating will stack, so four level 10 RAs would have a 100% (guaranteed) chance of activating. This stacks with the Jewelry version of the enchant, so RA does not need to be on every armor item. 4 level 9 RA enchantments will also have a 100% activation rate. NOTE: Retribution Aura's damage is instantly inflicted on the enemy as soon as you are hit, much like the Reflect skill. ===================================== 20.3 - JEWELRY ENCHANTMENTS ===================================== These enchantments may be applied to any jewelry item in six total slots (amulet, earrings, bracelet, belt, and two rings). One Malachite Gem is required for the level 10 enchantment of all except Spontaneous Combustion. Also, ALL levels of Healing Aura require Malachite Gems to enchant, so don't bother using it until you can enchant Healing Aura 10, and have excellent pieces of jewelry to use it on. For enchantments with a % chance of occurring, multiple enchantments of the same type (e.g., Damage Aura) will stack the chance, but not effect. So three Damage Aura 1 enchantments (5% chance of 2 damage) will give a 15% chance of 2 damage. ---------------- SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION: (X) chance of igniting enemies that are close doing (Y) damage over 1 second. ---------------- 1: 5% / 2 dmg Diamond x1, Iron x1 2: 6% / 6 dmg Diamond x1, Iron x2 3: 7% / 12 dmg Diamond x1, Droxlerite x1, Fossil x1 4: 8% / 18 dmg Diamond x2, Droxlerite x2, Fossil x2, Red Ore x1 5: 9% / 24 dmg Diamond x2, Gold Ore x1, Red Ore x1 6: 10% / 30 dmg Diamond x2, Gold Ore x2, Red Ore x2 7: 11% / 36 dmg Diamond x3, Droxlerite x1, Red Ore x2 8: 12% / 42 dmg Diamond x3, Droxlerite x2, Red Ore x3 9: 13% / 48 dmg Diamond x3, Black Rock x1, Red Ore x3 10: 15% / 54 dmg Diamond x4, Black Rock x2, Malachite Ore x1, Red Ore x4 Stacking: The chance of Spontaneous Combustion activating will stack, so six level 10 SCs would have a 90% chance of activating. Six level 9 SC enchantments would give a 78% activation rate. ---------------- HEALING AURA: Heals you slowly with (X) per second. ---------------- 1: +0.025 HP regen Sapphire x1, Gold Ore x2, Malachite Gem x1 2: +0.05 HP regen Sapphire x1, Gold Ore x2, Malachite Gem x1 3: +0.075 HP regen Sapphire x1, Gold Ore x3, Malachite Gem x1 4: +0.1 HP regen Sapphire x2, Gold Ore x3, Malachite Gem x1 5: +0.125 HP regen Sapphire x2, Gold Ore x4, Malachite Gem x1 6: +0.15 HP regen Sapphire x2, Gold Ore x4, Malachite Gem x1 7: +0.175 HP regen Sapphire x3, Gold Ore x5, Malachite Gem x1 8: +0.2 HP regen Sapphire x3, Gold Ore x5, Malachite Gem x1 9: +0.225 HP regen Sapphire x3, Gold Ore x6, Malachite Gem x1 10: +0.25 HP regen Sapphire x4, Gold Ore x7, Malachite Gem x1 NOTE: Healing Aura is added directly to your HP regeneration rate. Six level 10 HAs will give a massive 1.5% of HP per second bonus to regeneration! ---------------- RETRIBUTION AURA: (X) chance of automatic retaliations against those that harm you for (Y) of the damage done to you. ---------------- 1: 10% / 20% Spinel x1, Gold Ore x2 2: 12% / 23% Spinel x1, Gold Ore x2 3: 14% / 26% Spinel x1, Gold Ore x3 4: 16% / 29% Spinel x2, Gold Ore x3 5: 18% / 32% Spinel x2, Gold Ore x4 6: 20% / 35% Spinel x2, Gold Ore x4 7: 22% / 38% Spinel x3, Gold Ore x5 8: 24% / 41% Spinel x3, Gold Ore x5 9: 25% / 44% Spinel x3, Gold Ore x6 10: 30% / 47% Spinel x4, Gold Ore x7 (level 10 also requires Malachite Gem x1) Stacking: The chance of Retribution Aura activating will stack, so four level 10 RAs would have a 100% (guaranteed) chance of activating. This stacks with the Armor version of the enchant, so RA does not need to be on every armor item. 4 level 9 RA enchantments will also have a 100% activation rate. NOTE: Retribution Aura's damage is instantly inflicted on the enemy as soon as you are hit, much like the Reflect skill. ---------------- STATIC CHARGE AURA: Enemies that harm you with weapons or magic have a (X) chance of suffering 1 shock of (Y) magic damage. ---------------- 1: 5% / 2 dmg Tiger's Eye x1, Gold Ore x2 2: 6% / 6 dmg Tiger's Eye x1, Gold Ore x2 3: 7% / 12 dmg Tiger's Eye x1, Gold Ore x3 4: 8% / 18 dmg Tiger's Eye x2, Gold Ore x3 5: 9% / 24 dmg Tiger's Eye x2, Gold Ore x4 6: 10% / 30 dmg Tiger's Eye x2, Gold Ore x4 7: 11% / 36 dmg Tiger's Eye x3, Gold Ore x5 8: 12% / 42 dmg Tiger's Eye x3, Gold Ore x5 9: 13% / 48 dmg Tiger's Eye x3, Gold Ore x6 10: 15% / 54 dmg Tiger's Eye x4, Gold Ore x7 (level 10 also requires Malachite Gem x1) Stacking: The chance of Static Charge Aura activating will stack, so six level 10 SCAs would have a 90% chance of activating. Six level 9 SCA enchantments would give a 78% activation rate. NOTE: Static Charge Aura's damage can be increased by leveling the Destruction skill. Additionally, the Confusion skill will give it a chance to stun enemies with each hit. ---------------- DAMAGE AURA: Enemies that harm you with weapons have a (X) chance of suffering 1 shock of (Y) magic damage. ---------------- 1: 5% / 2 dmg Topaz x1, Gold Ore x2 2: 6% / 6 dmg Topaz x1, Gold Ore x2 3: 7% / 12 dmg Topaz x1, Gold Ore x3 4: 8% / 18 dmg Topaz x2, Gold Ore x3 5: 9% / 24 dmg Topaz x2, Gold Ore x4 6: 10% / 30 dmg Topaz x2, Gold Ore x4 7: 11% / 36 dmg Topaz x3, Gold Ore x5 8: 12% / 42 dmg Topaz x3, Gold Ore x5 9: 13% / 48 dmg Topaz x3, Gold Ore x6 10: 15% / 54 dmg Topaz x4, Gold Ore x7 (level 10 also requires Malachite Gem x1) Stacking: The chance of Damage Aura activating will stack, so six level 10 DAs would have a 90% chance of activating. Six level 9 DA enchantments would give a 78% activation rate. NOTE: Damage Aura's damage can be increased by leveling the Destruction skill.

Six level 9 PA enchantments would give a 78% activation rate. ===================================== 20.4 - POTION FORMULAS ===================================== Potions provide healing and other useful buffs. Only on potion of a single type (each of the seven below is a type) may be in effect at one time, thus spamming healing potions is not a valid survival strategy. This means that the only actual value to lower level potions, once better formulas are available, is a different (and lower) ingredient cost. Note that Healing and Rejuvenation CAN be sttacked, however, for increased healing. All potions are affected by the Potion Efficiency skill. It is possible, via upgrading the Alchemy platform, or putting points into the Master Herbalist skill, to decrease the ingredient cost of a recipe. First, the reductions will reduce each ingredient to 1. If enough of a reduction is available that all ingredients are reduced to 1, further reductions will reduce certain ingredient costs to 0. All potions will always cost at least one herb, however. For ultimate potions, either an Earth Root (for Revitalising and Rejuvenation), or a Fanny Blossom (all others). Potions that use Black Rose or Dragon Nail will always require one of those items. A level 5 Master Herbalist skill is all it takes to reduce all potions to only one ingredient, however. This can be accomplished with five jewelry items to boost it, each giving +1. They may be hard to find, but saving before talking to a shopkeeper who deals in jewelry allows you to reload until he stocks one. This allows for cheap potions with no investment of skill points! Potion formulas are hard to come by early on. You can find Limited Healing and Revitalization in Miller Upton's basement in Broken Valley, and you are provided all seven Limited potion recipes once the Battle Tower is obtained. No shops prior to the Orobas Fjords sell potion recipes, so if you desire a full recipe list, you must do a lot of saving and reloading early on. Once your level increases too much, you can never find lower level recipes in shops or containers, save one small box in Geshniz's Headquarters. ---------------- HEALING: Heals (X) hitpoints over 5 seconds. ---------------- 1: 74 HP (14.8/sec) Ginseng x1 2: 98 HP (19.6/sec) Ginseng x2 3: 134 HP (26.8/sec) Black Rose x1, Ginseng x2 4: 170 HP (34/sec) Black Rose x2, Ginseng x3 5: 206 HP (41.2/sec) Black Rose x3, Ginseng x4 6: 242 HP (48.4/sec) Dragon Nail x1, Ginseng x3 7: 278 HP (55.6/sec) Dragon Nail x2, Ginseng x4 8: 314 HP (62.8/sec) Dragon Nail x3, Ginseng x5 9: 350 HP (70/sec) Fanny Blossom x1, Ginseng x4 10: 386 HP (77.2/sec) Fanny Blossom x2, Ginseng x5 ---------------- REVITALIZING: Regenerates (X) spirit over 5 seconds. ---------------- 1: 62 Mana (12.4/sec) Earth Root x1 2: 82 Mana (16.4/sec) Earth Root x2 3: 112 Mana (22.4/sec) Black Rose x1, Earth Root x2 4: 142 Mana (28.4/sec) Black Rose x2, Earth Root x3 5: 172 Mana (34.4/sec) Black Rose x3, Earth Root x4 6: 202 Mana (40.4/sec) Dragon Nail x1, Earth Root x3 7: 232 Mana (46.4/sec) Dragon Nail x2, Earth Root x4 8: 262 Mana (52.4/sec) Dragon Nail x3, Earth Root x5 9: 292 Mana (58.4/sec) Earth Root x4, Fanny Blossom x1 10: 322 Mana (64.4/sec) Earth Root x5, Fanny Blossom x2 ---------------- REJUVENATION: Regenerates (X) spirit and hitpoints over 5 seconds. ---------------- 1: 62 HP/Mana (12.4/sec) Earth Root x1, Ginseng x1 2: 82 HP/Mana (16.4/sec) Earth Root x2, Ginseng x2 3: 112 HP/Mana (22.4/sec) Black Rose x1, Earth Root x2, Ginseng x2 4: 142 HP/Mana (28.4/sec) Black Rose x2, Earth Root x3, Ginseng x3 5: 172 HP/Mana (34.4/sec) Black Rose x3, Earth Root x4, Ginseng x4 6: 202 HP/Mana (40.4/sec) Dragon Nail x1, Earth Root x3, Ginseng x3 7: 232 HP/Mana (46.4/sec) Dragon Nail x2, Earth Root x4, Ginseng x4 8: 262 HP/Mana (52.4/sec) Dragon Nail x3, Earth Root x5, Ginseng x5 9: 292 HP/Mana (58.4/sec) Earth Root x4, Fanny Blossom x1, Ginseng x4 10: 322 HP/Mana (64.4/sec) Earth Root x5, Fanny Blossom x2, Ginseng x5 ---------------- STRENGTH: Increases your strength by (X) for 180 seconds. ---------------- 1: +3 Strength Farhangite x1 2: +5 Strength Farhangite x2 3: +8 Strength Black Rose x1, Farhangite x2 4: +11 Strength Black Rose x2, Farhangite x3 5: +14 Strength Black Rose x3, Farhangite x4 6: +17 Strength Dragon Nail x1, Farhangite x3 7: +20 Strength Dragon Nail x2, Farhangite x4 8: +23 Strength Dragon Nail x3, Farhangite x5 9: +26 Strength Fanny Blossom x1, Farhangite x4 10: +29 Strength Fanny Blossom x2, Farhangite x5 ---------------- DEXTERITY: Increases your dexterity by (X) for 180 seconds. ---------------- 1: +3 Dexterity Fatfern x1 2: +5 Dexterity Farfern x2 3: +8 Dexterity Black Rose x1, Fatfern x2 4: +11 Dexterity Black Rose x2, Fatfern x3 5: +14 Dexterity Black Rose x3, Fatfern x4 6: +17 Dexterity Dragon Nail x1, Fatfern x3 7: +20 Dexterity Dragon Nail x2, Fatfern x4 8: +23 Dexterity Dragon Nail x3, Fatfern x5 9: +26 Dexterity Fanny Blossom x1, Fatfern x4 10: +29 Dexterity Fanny Blossom x2, Fatfern x5 ---------------- INTELLIGENCE: Increases your intelligence by (X) for 180 seconds. ---------------- 1: +3 Intelligence Stardust x1 2: +5 Intelligence Stardust x2 2: +8 Intelligence Black Rose x1, Stardust x2 4: +11 Intelligence Black Rose x2, Stardust x3 5: +14 Intelligence Black Rose x3, Stardust x4 6: +17 Intelligence Dragon Nail x1, Stardust x3 7: +20 Intelligence Dragon Nail x2, Stardust x4 8: +23 Intelligence Dragon Nail x3, Stardust x5 9: +26 Intelligence Fanny Blossom x1, Stardust x4 10: +29 Intelligence Fanny Blossom x2, Stardust x5 ---------------- FULL RESISTANCE: Increases all your armor ratings with (X) for 180 seconds. ---------------- 1: +4 Armor Rating Whisperwood x1 2: +6 Armor Rating Whisperwood x2 3: +8 Armor Rating Black Rose x1, Whisperwood x2 4: +10 Armor Rating Black Rose x2, Whisperwood x3 5: +12 Armor Rating Black Rose x3, Whisperwood x4 6: +14 Armor Rating Dragon Nail x1, Whisperwood x3 7: +16 Armor Rating Dragon Nail x2, Whisperwood x4 8: +18 Armor Rating Dragon Nail x3, Whisperwood x5 9: +21 Armor Rating Fanny Blossom x1, Whisperwood x4 10: +23 Armor Rating Fanny Blossom x2, Whisperwood x5 ---------------- ALLAN BREW: Increases all your armor ratings with (X) for 180 seconds. ---------------- 1: +36 Armor rating Black Rose x4, Dragon Nail x4, Earth Root x4, Holy Basil x4, Whisperwood x4 NOTE: This potion is only available if Allan is chosen as Alchemist.

It is also the only use of Holy Basil in the entire game. ======================================================== ========================================================================== *21* FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ========================================================================== ======================================================== Q: Keys, keys, keys! Why do I have so many keys?! A: The problem with keys is that some locks (mainly chests) may be picked with a high enough Lockpicking skill level, before the key is obtained. If this is the case, the key (if obtained) will stay in your inventory forever. On top of this, some keys (one in particular, dropped by a Goblin Chief in the Secret Passage) have no actual use, and therefore are in your inventory until the end. Q: My [insert quest item here] vanished from my inventory! Why did that happen? A: Quest items (except for keys) seem to vanish when they lose their purpose. The Wolfsbane Potion and Fake Red Ore vanish when you finish "Sibling Rivalry," no matter what the outcome is. If you don't even have the items yet, they vanish from their chests. If you do, you lose the item you didn't use (or both), even though you DIDN'T USE IT. ======================================================== ========================================================================== *22* CONTACT INFORMATION ========================================================================== ======================================================== My screenname is LancetJades on GameFAQs.

Dark Shadow ~Discovered that the Wild Dweller DLC set contents is switched on the PC version. Set 1 on 360 has the bow and leggings, while Set 2 has the axe and helmet. It is reversed on the PC version! J.R. ~Mentioned a small (big) error in the location of the Aleroth Archmage Helmet. jeroenmelg ~Helped answer a lot of questions I had while playing, and made some minor corrections. Jigoku ~Provided screenshots of the DLC equipment sets so I could record their stats. Mephasm ~Provided the initial skill/stat/dragon point list I used in construction of my own. Also discovered a stat point for letting Champion David flee from the Black Boar. Nilwarp ~Deciphered how ore vein content generation works! Also contributed some corrections for how various stats work, including Heightened Reflexes, regen from Strength and Intelligence, and Armor vs. Stat resistance points. Raze ~Helped answer a lot of questions I had while playing. And I mean a LOT lot. Also provided some minor corrections to the guide. Really, his contributions are too numerous to list, and too valuable. Too bad he's a Black Ring general. :( seorin ~For his helpful FAQ which helped me sort through the game, found here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/xbox360/977060-divinity-ii-ego-draconis/faqs/58701 Tuxinator ~Informed me that Geshniz's golden chest (and thus Rayhun's, too) can contain two Divine Charms. ======================================================== ========================================================================== *24* VERSION HISTORY ========================================================================== ======================================================== 0.50 Completed July 19th, 2010.

Updated a bit more of the stuff, made some changes to some formatting (esp. quest items), and added more info on some early malachite veins. 0.62 Completed August 3rd, 2010. Added more information to most sections for many of the initial locations you can access in the Fjords. 0.63 Completed August 4th, 2010. Added more information all-around. 0.64 Completed August 6th, 2010. More information added. 0.70 Completed August 9th, 2010. Added more information, especially regarding the Battle Tower platform operators. Cracked the melee/magic armor bonus from the Necromancers. Revised the comment and opinion sections of the Battle Tower sections. Added info on Stone's Fortress Greenery combinations list. Added a section for equipment sets that aren't DLC. 0.80 Completed August 16th, 2010. A lot more information, and completing information on Stone's and Kali's flying fortresses. Added the "different types of loot" section. 0.81 Completed August 17th, 2010. Fixed up some things, added data on the Hunter set and Raze's flying fortress. Added set bonus data to Aleroth Archmage set. 0.82 Completed August 18th, 2010. Finished most of Keara's fortress, and finished the Battle Tower section. 0.83 Completed August 20th, 2010. Small changes and additions. Added a section on respawning enemies and infinite EXP tricks. 0.85 Completed August 23rd, 2010. Finished most of the in-game equipment sets and their bonuses. Skill section is woefully unfinished, as even a cursory glance can tell. I'm still working on figuring out the best way to present the data AND clearly mark it. 0.90 Completed August 27th, 2010. Finished most incomplete sections, such as dragon skill points, dragon armor, and armor sets (non-DLC). Pretty much everything outside of the endgame (past the point of no return) should be covered in full. Anything that isn't, email me to let me know! Skill section also complete, minus three dragon skills. 1.00 Completed August 30th, 2010. Finished the skill section, and completed the game (and guide). From here on out, further updates will mostly be corrections and other small fixes, as all content has been covered. Revised the desccriptions of the Epic and Unique rarity equipment. 1.01 Completed August 31st, 2010. Added the two missing entries from the final battle to the monster log. 1.02 Completed September 20th, 2010. Figured out how ore veins and their contents work, thanks to Nilwarp.

Revised some stats (mainly how regen and armor points work for Str, Dex, and Int), thanks to Nilwarp. Also corrected most unique weapons' critical rate.

Fixed a few errors in the skill section, and elsewhere. 1.05 Completed December 20th, 2010.

Changed the About section to reflect the release of Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga, and an updated version of this guide for that edition of the game. Also fixed a few things, such as adding Aravir's "My First Bow" to the ranged weapon section (used to be in melee, a relic from when I didn't sort the unique items by type). Many small errors were fixed, due to the DKS version being edited as I played. Added a section in the end to list all enchantments and potions, too. Also improved the dividers between sections, like the DKS guide has. The revisions and updates only go up to the end of Broken Valley (before Maxos Temple) however. Future updates will include later parts of the game. 2.01 Completed April 22nd, 2011. More minor changes to a lot of things throughout the guide, mostly rewrites to better articulate things. Rewrites are complete up to the end of Maxos Temple. 2.05 Completed May 1st, 2011.

Made a few more minor changes from new findings in DKS that apply to ED as well. 2.08 Completed May 16th, 2011. More minor adjustments. These updates are quite boring and minuscule, aren't they? 2.10 Completed May 31st, 2011. Even more adjustments! Spelling and grammar fixes, typos fixed, incorrect information edited. It's a blast. No, really!(Ok, no, it's not) 2.11 Completed June 3rd, 2011. Edited the formatting of unique equipment and sets to incorporate changes in my DKS guide, such as separate rows for each buff, for enhanced ease of reading. 2.12 Completed June 6th, 2011. More small changes and edits. 2.13 Completed June 10th, 2011. Even more edits and changes. Nothing big. 2.14 Completed June 13th, 2011. Some more edits. Yawn. 2.15 Completed June 27th, 2011. Yes, more minor corrections. This is probably the last of these updates. 2.16 Completed July 1st, 2011. A few last corrections, mostly to the format of the Misc. Items section, and how it lists locations of the various items. 2.17 Completed July 7th, 2011. Added two books I'd missed: Amusing Anomalies and Research Notes. 2.18 Completed July 20th, 2011.
