What is this -20% to movement speed about?

It means you move 20% faster - movement only. Speed needs to be displayed uniformly ...

Oh... so lower is better!

What's the maximum infusion/rune you can have? i already have 5 infusions/runes and 1 free talent category point but i cant purchase another slot.

[yufra]

5 is the maximum.

Do anorithils benefit from spellpower?

Do anorithils benefit from spellpower?

Yes, very much so.

Any talent that says it scales off Magic also scales off Spellpower (pretty much without exception throughout the game).

[marchewka]

And do Cursed's talents scale with willpower? E.g. does gloom land more easily with more Willpower?

[Sirrocco]

As a general rule, any skill tree that requires a stat will have talents that scale with that stat, but I don't know offhand exactly how gloom scales.

I have some questions about teleportation/jumping options. This is with beta19.

I had the phase door rune attached, but whenever I choose it there is a little swirly pink animation, but I stayed where I was.

I have learned the Disengage talent, when I choose it I get a targetting reticule, but whereever I click nothing seems to happen.

What am I doing wrong?

The character is here: http://te4.org/characters/2430/tome/9f1 ... 1cc000edf0
(I've replaced the phase door rune, as it wasn't doing anything for me, but I have another one ready for if I can find what I was doing wrong)

Other general questions:
a) What determines whether I can sell an item? I could sell the Staff of Destruction and gems, but nothing else.
b) Will I find somewhere I can store items for later, or do I always need to carry everything on my back?

Two questions about skeletons.
Does pumping generic points into (Undead/Skeleton) Skeleton raise the capped maximum allowed stats for strength and dexterity, which I think is 60
If they only give you straight stat increases, can they be applied after the stats are maxxed out (and still gain the stats ).

No idea on that one.

Disengage needs you to target a monster. You move away from that monster. You can't disengage from a tree or empty space....

a) What determines whether I can sell an item? I could sell the Staff of Destruction and gems, but nothing else.

That's new in beta 19. Stores don't want your filthy used crap any more. Now they'll only buy gems and artifacts.

b) Will I find somewhere I can store items for later, or do I always need to carry everything on my back?

Yes. There's a quest that can get you a place to store things, but it's pretty far into the game.

In previous betas, you could also store items in any of the vaults you found. I do NOT yet know whether vaults are still persistent in beta 19.

They are on top of any stat maximum.

Can you check your stdout when this happens? Generally when nothing happens there is a Lua error in the stdout.txt file that can help the developers debug the problem.

Related to this:

I carry around all these nice named items that are worth $100-200, but then the merchants are only allowed to pay up to $25 for them. Is there a place later in the game that pays full cost?
