There's a staff of the Archlich.

That sounds.... awesome!

Speaking about starting zones, it sort of bothers me that a new player who starts as a dwarf will immediately find our some lore that other races ignore until later in the game. I suppose that the only solution would be to lock dwarves until that lore is found while playing another race (dwarves are...

If anything could be changed, I'd say lock more, not less . Personally, my main hook on the game is to unlock classes, races, etc... I remember the first time I played, the first couple of unlocks that happened unexpectedly in the middle of game play - that was great! Definitely don't unlock Archmag...

Did you try the wayback machine / internet archives, as in:

or

Yes, that must be it.
I changed weapons with that character sinced then, but I tried to reproduce it following your explanation, and I can get this behaviour again, only when the enemy is killed.
So, not a bug, but a feature - thanks for the explanation, then

Compare this, when using the talent Dual Arrows: Olivaw hits white worm mass for 41 physical damage. to that, when using plain Shoot: Olivaw hits white worm mass for 27 physical 7 acid, 9 temporal damage (total 42.26). The weapon being used is an elm longbow of acid with "hits(ranged) +6 acid&q...

I had the same problem (also in a 64-bit arch linux) and the simple fix was to install a bunch of 32 bit versions of libraries. Sadly, I didn't write down exactly which ones, I basically did a pacman -Ss lib32 and then installed whichever seemed reasonably relevant, trying to run ToME periodically, ...

I don't have one, but I'm interested in such a spoiler as well. Vaults can be weird...

Good times!

Hi, I'm fairly new to the game. At the beginning the game was very hard to understand. You will find some of my experiences and questions below. Hello, I'm like you, fairly new to ToME 2, glad to see I'm not the only one around! Luckily I found some resources, I will put them here for reference: Th...

1) download somewhere
2) tar xvjf t-engine4-linux32-1.0.0beta10-nomusic.tar.bz2
3) cd t-engine4-linux32-1.0.0beta10
4) ./t-engine

PS: the starting screens were absurdly slow for me, but that's probably because I don't have any proprietary graphics drivers installed right now.

Works for me!
32 bit system, Xubuntu 10.04 distribution, kernel 2.6.32-24-generic

I won't test it extensively though, because I'm currently playing ToME 2 on whatever free time I have left

I think a rod of Nothing can have a rod tip of something attached to it. Other than that I'm not aware of any uses.
