ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Hello!

I came up with a brilliant idea.
To scum the ruined dungeon for xp by activating the wrong portal.

Did not work. :p

But I did get some faeros ash which was not bad.
Maybe that Vampire Lord I need can be summoned....

Do they not give xp? And can't you scum adventurers for both xp and alchemy ingredients?

I've moved this topic to the Spoilers forum by the way. Can you please be more attentive to what topics you raise in what forums in future :)

It was intended for the public.
I did not see anything really spoily in it.

No, they did not seem to give any xp at all.

The Spoilers forum is still public. It includes most gameplay discussion actually, because in the roguelike world the word "spoiler" is rather all-encompassing. Any discussion of dungeons, items or creatures that a new player wouldn't know about should be considered spoily. It may sound pedantic, but many players like to try and go through the game without knowing any spoilers in advance. Even after about 8 months of play I still avoid reading about late game content because I've only gotten as far or the Vor Armoury.

Hmm, guess the only scumming opportunity is farportals then.

Farportals are limited by the amount of stuff you can transmogrify. And they do not generate enough loot to chain them.

The only unlimited resource in b28 seems to be random adventurer parties.

A far cry from the *band roots, eh?

I *think* you can chain farportals with extract gems level 5. If you can't then it is very close (at least 25 energy at level >40).

This depends entirely on the dungeon itself. One level or five? Full of weapon-dropping bandits, or gold-dropping hatchlings? I've found my energy bounties to vary wildly based on these contingencies.

On average, out of many trips. One dungeon gaining you 60 energy (probably quite high) could cover a few that get you only 15 or 20.
