Resetting trap upgrades

[Debacle]

Is there anyway to reallocate the skulls for upgrading traps?

[Hassat Hunter]

Doesn't seem to me.
It does say "upgrading is permanent" when you improve traps.

Shame sometimes the description is vague, you get dissapointed in the update, and lost your skulls :/

I dunno about OMD1 but in OMD2 you can "cash in" all your skulls when in the 'trap-puchase' screen by hitting the button down the bottom of the screen.

[Debacle]

Yeah, I remember it saying the decision was final, I guess i was hoping you could reset them once you completed the campaign. I stupidly wasted skulls upgrading that silly "dummy" trap.

[Hassat Hunter]

I like the dummy... distracts gnolls. Leaving you to more pressing matters.
Why dislike the dummy?

[Debacle]

I guess I can't honestly say I dislike it, I never used it, it just seemed too expensive for something that would eventually be destroyed. You have caused me to reconsider though.

How to reallocate your skulls: Start a new profile. Hope it helps =-P

Yeah, in the spell book there is a refund skulls option

[Hassat Hunter]

Not in Part 1.

[Debacle]

Yes, I see no option for refunding skulls in Orcs 1. I'll just have to try and make use of that dummy.

The only option is to start a new profile. However, I'd say that you can beat the game 5 skulls on normal fairly easily without buying a single upgrade. By that point you'll have every interesting upgrade and many you didn't care about.

[Hassat Hunter]

Also the DLC will give more skulls. Nightmare will give more skulls. So you can upgrade quite a few...

Does anyone ever not use the steel weaver?

[Lord Helix]

Dunno :(

Knowledge Weaver is an option if you want to maximize the income from spell kills (T2: Spell Magnification) and increase the damage of headshots (T1: Skull Anatomy) when you are killing the orcs yourself instead of using killbox. With the lightning strike ability on the rift (T3: Rift Sentience) you don't have to stress about getting every Kobold Runner.

Edit: Forgot to answer to the original question that don't stress too much about the updates, you can get 5 skulls even on Nightmare without the "key" upgrades. Just keep trying different traps and playstyles to improve your own play and trap setups.
