ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

hold out for magic gear. even if you don't have enough by 25, you can go around to each shop to see if they have anything and even just delay taking the prodigy till you have enough gear. Maybe put a few points into magic if you really get desperate. I second this. I myself asked this question earl...

Im new player and I need some advices. Can you tell me whats location order for that build (last game i died 2x on poison resisted boss in Sandworm Lair), and whats order in getting skills. I focus mostly on Stealth (survi), Apply Poison, Vile Poison (to get Volatile Poison asap) and Trained Reacti...

I kind of prefer to have poison gas trap as a regular trap rather than primed. It's a bit more finicky to get enemies to walk on it, but the damage is better. Plus, if there are multiple enemies around, you can have a trash mob land on the trap to make sure it doesn't get disarmed. Good point. I gu...

If you're already out of range/not detected sure and I did it a bunch when it was good, but if you're actively fighting a randboss or something else, you don't really want to spend a turn doing nothing and let them possibly hit you(less likely with armor of shadows but very likely early on) when yo...

I'm talking about the prepare traps dialogue that comes with trap mastery. It offers: Bear Disarming Springrazor Pitfall Flash bang Bladestorm No Poison Trap. Ah, right. Sorry. If you look at the page for Trap Mastery , it will tell you that "More designs may be discovered or learned from spec...

Am I overlooking something? I can't seem to select poison trap in preparation (just starting out as a rogue). Are you talking about "Trap Mastery" in the "Cunning/Trapping" talent tree? I believe it's not enough to click on 'Poison Trap' when the dialogue box comes up. In additi...

Thanks for your help! My character is a level 25 halfling rogue focused on stealth and throwing poisoned knives. I wanted to swap out a weapon (Unerring Scapel) whose only advantage was giving Blind-Fight. With 84 Cunning, 46 See Stealth, and 46 See Invisible, I wondered whether I needed Blind-Fight...

... for a character with high See Invisible and See Stealth scores?

OK, I've read up on game mechanics, attack vs. defense, and rescaling stats, and everything you say makes sense. I was misled by something someone said on the Steam forums in defense of Lucky Day for halflings. I'll try to persevere in getting Magic equipment to qualify for Mystical Cunning, though ...

Yeah, you’re right. I’m basically critting on everything with this build. But I don’t know how quickly I can get Magic equipment to qualify for Mystical Cunning. Any thoughts (from you or anyone else) on how +40 Luck affects Duck and Dodge for a halfling? Am I right that it’s pretty significant, par...

So I'm a halfling rogue focusing on stealth, poison, and throwing knives, according to this build: http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=50716 I've hit level 25 and I'd like to choose Lucky Day, despite the fact that it is generally seen as weak. First because it does up my critical hit cha...

OK, I've come up against the same problem that a few people mentioned upthread, namely, getting Magic 50 to qualify for the Mystical Cunning prodigy when I hit level 25 (which just happened in the Ruined Dungeon). I never bothered to read the description of 'Mystical Cunning' until now, which of cou...

Windblade isn't so hard to scheme your way into. Stats in general you can save up gear and usually meet by the time you get to picking prodigies. Dual weapon damage you can build up just by wailing on things in the fortress. Counter-intuitively, I believe Windblade works perfectly well when not dua...

1. Speed. Movement speed applies on the world map as well, so if you have boots of +20% movement, hold onto them before venturing onto the world map. 2. More Speed. Little known secret: movement infusions work on the world map. You can't *activate* them there, but you can pop one in sunwall and the...

I mostly use Windblade (a nice prodigy, also known as Winblade) combined with Unstoppable to kill those critters as a berserker. Pop unstoppable, get the lot in range, massacre them all, then rush to a lone caster and try to hide there after killing it. Thanks. Unfortunately, Windblade not only nee...
