ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

The Skin of many item (light armour) shows the modifier to stealth in green text. Generally speaking, green text means good. But putting on the skin of many actually reduces the player's stealth talent level. Probably something to do with the screaming. Since this is a penalty, not a bonus, it shoul...

Hi, folks. I'm trying to get a handle on Demonologist and struggling. Osmosis shield says, "This spell disabled automatically on rest or run." But if I activate it, then fight, then rest, my vim gets drained to 0 very quickly. As far as I can tell, it is disabled at the END of a rest, not ...

Hey, folks. I'm coming back to the game after quite some time away. The majority of my winner characters are from older versions (1.5.10, for the most part), and I have a lot of good items I've love to send through the vault to new toons. There's a pretty dire warning message about doing this, but I...

Thanks for the information.

That's a pretty shitty development choice.

I know for a fact I unlocked stone warden years ago. But I logged in today and it's locked. I have no idea how this may have happened, though. I'm very confused.

I ran into this last weekend! I started my first Archer on Nightmare and every time I ran into an enemy with shield wall, that was it, they weren't dying.

The solution I found was to just leave. I went and did other dungeons and came back more powerful.

I very rarely buy equipment from stores in game, because as you've noticed you'll find better through other methods. The occasional inscription/rune is good, but eventually they stop being upgrades. There are exceptions. At the very start of the game, items with +health can be worth picking up, to e...

Try Archer or Temporal Warden True story, my first win ever was on a Temporal Warden. I'm not sure what it was, but the ability to move so seemlessly between melee and ranged just "clicked" with me. I was able to zoom through the game, as compared to my previous characters. Both are more ...

Right now I'm playing an archmage focusing on fire damage. I have a lot of effects that put fire on the ground, so I've got a pretty high fire resist (to stay alive).

If I invest in some fire damage penetration gear, am I in effect lowering my own survivability?

https://te4.org/characters/40466/tome/37db1b86-7cda-4988-b4a1-6b2bbdfd88c2 I pulled off an extremely satisfying win yesterday evening with an Ogre Doombringer. It took me 12 or 15 tries just to get to level 8 without dying twice (I restart if I lose more than one life before 12). I just could NOT ge...

Hey there! I'm playing a Doombringer, and looking at Meteoric Crash prodigy for the lulz. I'm curious though: What are the actual odds of the meteor landing? As far as I can find, it just says it "can" happen. If it's a 50% chance, great, I'm keen. If it's 1%, I'm not quite as interested.

I'm playing my first doombringer, and after a dozen attempts I've made it out of the scintillating caves. I'm really struggling to keep my vim up. The tooltip says "If you used a Corruption spell that cost vim to kill a creature, that cost is refunded on death." My two main abilities, Fier...

These days, I usually skip the graveyard. >_>

Also, on more than one character I have just walked away from bone giants after 100 or so rounds. "Welp, I'm not killing you, you're not killing me, so let's just go about our merry ways, shall we?"

I stopped opening chests a long time ago, because the rewards didn't outweigh the risks.

It didn't stop me from finishing the game, but it certainly made things a bit dicier.
