ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

The values of the ego. For example, a blazebringer's voratun greatsword will average about 1.5x the speed boost of a voratun dagger (because 1.2/0.8=1.5) Pretend I have never played this game before. I don't think that the ego multiplier is exclusively related to weapon speed, otherwise wouldn't it...

Can someone explain what "ego multiplier" means in the item descriptions?

I understand that "ego" is just another word for "ability" and that each item can have two (prefix and suffix). What is this multiplier multiplying?

Thanks again for the tips, guys!

Thaks guys, that is very interesting reading. I did a facepalm after posting when I realized exactly what you said: the golem's items were simply not identified. Also, one thing still remains mysterious to me and that is the gem slots on the golem's profile. What do you equip there and how exactly? ...

Hi, is there any guide or tip sheet regarding the alchemist's golem? For example, I noticed that the golem starts with a default weapon that does no damage. But the golem does do damage according to his character profile (and obviously he kills stuff, too). But I noticed that changing his weapon has...

Thanks again, guys. I appreciate the information.

Ok, I managed to piece that together. I guess the main thing to keep in mind is that this skill is not useful if you have no source of damage shield.

Hi, I couldn't find Spell / Aegis in the wiki, but I have a question about the "Shielding" ability. Does it actually add any shielding to yourself? It sounds like it ONLY affects other shields, is that right? And what is a "damage shield"? The other shields it mentions (time, dis...

Thanks guys!

Hello, I don't think this is a spoiler quest or anything as it was one of the first things I stumbled upon playing a dwarf character who first entered the outside world. There is this foul-mouthed, hard-of-hearing, all-caps-speaking halfling somewhere who gives you an alchemist quest. I thought I kn...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I want to update the wiki to have this information. I still find everything about this game esoteric. I don't have an opinion really about whether it should be passive or sustained. But I wanted to understand what the nuance was. I assume most people leave these abil...

I checked the wiki but there was no useful information regarding these two sustainable skills. But as far as I can tell, there is no cost for leaving these on all the time. Is that right? Does it not even affect infusion saturation? If so, then what is the point in them being sustainable? It looks t...
