Auto-Cast Arcane Eye on Self

Very useful for the frail magic users everywhere. Your spells have awesome range but your puny eyes have been weakened from years of reading ancient dusty tomes in the archives. As of the moment I am using AutoHotkey macro to cast it on me. But that still requires me to press the hotkey button every...

Re: How do you beat Epoch?

How about making it possible for player to escape from the encounter through Eidolon ?
Players lose a life sporadically and learn from their mistakes. But for this one, if you are unprepared then it is a game ending mistake, no matter how much life you have saved.

Re: How do you beat Epoch?

When I wrote that yesterday, I was still playing with b37. I think at the moment, the encounter is almost a guaranteed death for those who are playing TW for the first time. Daikara is one of "those places" like the Old Forest that you just go whenever you think you have the appropriate le...

Re: How do you beat Epoch?

Yay to thread necro ! My very promising Warden is now stuck at the Eidolon Plane. No option of going back to the world map. Going to Epoch means I will die in about 3 rounds. How the heck are we supposed to beat 5 hasted boss, each of them is 5 levels higher than you.... I just dont think its a very...

Re: Slow Worldmap

I have the same problem, very slow world map about 5 seconds delay per turn. Kinda sad because this is a very promising (by my standard) character. The symptom reminds me of another bug: At times, when I enter an area I have been, everything would run very slow i.e. the same 5 second delay. The reas...

Re: Dumb questions thread

Nvm. Apparently the autopickup into transmog chest only works for stuff that havent been in your inventory. Does not work for dropped items.

Re: Dumb questions thread

How do you use the new transmogrification chest ?

There might have been an instruction on how to do it but I skipped it and now I am lost.

Re: Spec my Cornac Archmage

Just wanted to thank you all for your help with my archmage. He is now wrecking the Pride in the East. I succumbed to weakness and finally save scummed this guy. Without a shield rune handy, he is on a tilt all the time. Not only that, there are many quests / places that seem simple and easy but is ...

Re: Spec my Cornac Archmage

Thanks for your responses !! Accordingly I have put 5 points into lightning. It now cycles with Manathrust and Flame. Has 4 points in Flameshock. A really good spell but the cooldown is horrendous. Really need another AoE but I dunno what, maybe Fireflash ? Inferno looks great on paper but I dont th...

Spec my Cornac Archmage

Hi guys, thanks for your help in http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=29558 . Stun resistance really helped with boss fights. Because I managed to unlock archmage, I immediately rolled a new archmage char. Luck is on his side so far. He has yet to lose a life and is now at level 20 with 6 ...

How to deal with bosses ?

What strategy should a melee character use to deal with bosses ? Especially those that can mess you up with freeze or confusion. I often would slaughter everything in the dungeon with ease but get absolutely wrecked by the boss. My level 18 Higher Arcane Blade just died 3 times to the Daikara boss (...

Re: End-Game Archmage Toughness/Frailty Questions

Funny thing. My archmage lvl30 actually considers orc patrols as a good source of experience points. I was experiencing the same thing. It was easy the first time around and good source to level up. But it got harder the higher my level is. At level 43, these orc mages are totally deadly. My must h...

End-Game Archmage Toughness/Frailty Questions

I have been playing Archmage in ToME by save-scumming because I wanted to explore everything first before really playing. One problem I have been having in the Far East is getting killed by enemy mages. This is especially a problem when getting ambushed by orc patrols. If the patrol squad have a lot...
