ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Hi all, my first play through, have skipped Lake of Nur for now. What items/shops should I be looking for, for something that grants water breathing? I am a L14 Higher Alchemist at the mo.

You are looking for items with 'of the deep' or 'unlife.' Either one of these will give water breathing. I see a lot of belts with the unlife affix. If you look through the stores you have a decent shot at finding one there. But if you have poor luck and don't find one of these items you can do the zone without water breathing. There are plenty of air bubbles in the zone. It does make it a bit more of a pain and slower, but definitely still doable.

Additions: "of the deep" is on mail and plate armour, "of unlife" is on belts, and "of fish" is on amulets.

Addition: and "of the depths" - on helms.

unlife - belt and light

deeps - helm and chest armor

All of the above are correct. However, sometimes you just can't find anything appropriate in shops.

At that point, you must use the bubbles if you wish to traverse Nur.

Unfortunately, there are no bubbles in the East.
