ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Manwe for speed! I'm running a Manwe priest at the moment; intending to max prayer by god quests (as my last one did before that nasty business with the skull drujs in Mordor). Manwe's own prayers are good, noxious cloud is very useful, and the conveyance would be handy if I weren't a thunderlord al...

Zero so far. Also zero characters to level 50, but I think I'm going to make that soon. I seem to have an incremental approach. I learned the early game, a few times over with different characters. Then the mid-game. My last two landmarks were getting to Mordor, and getting through Moria. Have still...

Yep, I start female because I am. Too many rpgs offered only male options so I take the female where possible. (It's fewer now, but even so.)

Also, sorry DG, neither single nor in Paris. But if I ever make it to Paris I'll certainly buy you a drink.

I do cheat, but not very much. I savefile scum to a limited extent. And I read spoilers and search the spoiler forum. I used to make a backup copy at what I thought of as a decent start point (roughly, Clevel 20). But I didn't always use it when I died. Plus, I've since learned how to get up levels ...

I *adored* the movies. I am so happy that they were made. And I am a Tolkein geek enough to know exactly where and what changes were made. For instance, umm, I know Gandalf's name in his youth, and who Ar-Pharazon is and who Glorfindel killed in his first incarnation, and I even know who Trotter is....

I haven't won yet but I think I want to. I have only two tips so far: 1. specialise! Do not spread skill points all over. 2. speed is the best thing you can have at lower levels. Neil, be kind to the cheaters... I am one, but I have ambitions not to be. It's a way to learn. Why do I cheat? Well, so ...

Do extra shots cumulate? I have a bow of extra shots already... And also I'm moderately fast now.

Back to the original question - is there an advantage to getting the sub-mastery? Yes, I've seen the skill spoiler... But is it worth doing it? For my wood elf ranger, Archery: 1 skill point gets you +0.95 Bowmastery: 1 skill point gets you +0.3 So, I've been skilling up archery in general. Now I'm ...

Are we saying the enchantment limit is +10? I seem to make better stuff than this quite often. Most recently I made some artefact pebbles "bellion" with (+15, +9). It does extra damage from electricity and fire. It poisons your foes. It is a great bane of dragons. It is especially deadly a...
