[Loot]

Please feel free to post about things you've discovered, while playing the game, in this thread.

- You can change your appearance by talking to Haberdasher in Redstone Keep.

- Drop chance of good items like Epic tier and Wisdom crystals from Heroic Spirits seems to be tied to level. The higher your level, the better the loot you get, so extensive farming before max level is a bit wasteful. - The Grand Mugwump

- You can get 2 Skill Points every 30 days in Zagros Mountains. There is a Library Northwest of Crowders Village, which is in the top left and one below/between Southcliff Village and Snowridge, which are near the bottom of the map. You will need to defeat a monster. You also get a random potion that increases a stat by 5 points.

- Heroic Souls can give Equipment, Jewels or 1-2 Wisdom Crystals when you defeat them. It is best to clear them out whenever they spawn. - Galvon

- There is a Purple Flame, Southwest of Cedarwood Village in Zagros Mountains & West Docana Desert, northeast edge of the map from Diresprings that allows you to enchant items, including mounts, for the price of 50 Jade. You can choose 1 of 3 enchantments. - Michiel & zAcEz

- You can recruit Dragons at a Portal, Northwest of Snowridge in Zagros Mountains, South of the Enchantment location. - Michiel

- You can get unique trinkets that provide skills from Tavern Maidens after romancing. Fadia: Phoenix Tome; summons a powerful Phoenix for 25s to assist you in battle,
Nura: Tome of the Darkclaw; Inflicts burn damage in a marked area,
Sumayah: Crown of Vines; 30% chance to Bind attacker for 5s,
Shukriya: Lilac Lightning Stone; 3 Chains of Lightning that hit enemies,
Jesseniya: Rogue Stone; Turns you invisible every 5s. - WTFUUN

- Winning a brawl in towns where a Tavern Maiden resides will lead to an improvement in relationship with the maiden. There's also a chance that she will try to stop you from starting a brawl. Not continuing the brawl will also improve your relationship with her. You can do this more often than giving gifts, buying drinks for everyone, or asking her personal questions. - loseaturn

- Hero NPCs will travel between two towns on a daily basis. So if you don't find a ruler/vassal in his own fief/land, chances are he's in the next town/village nearby. You can also ask your hero companions the locations of NPC listed in your intel. - loseaturn

- You can get 50 Jade from clearing heavily guarded Bandit Camps. They may also have chests which contain a small amount of Jade and refill over time. You'll know if they have Jade or not by the icon hovering over the chests. - Galvon

- When tracking down a hero you want to hire, open the map and check the settlements. You can see each character, if any, by hovering over the settlement. - Jeidi

- Burn and Bleed are powerful status effects that scale with Max HP. - Jeidi

- The Mount Merchant in Twinluna Valley has a rare chance to put a Phoenix Mount up for sale. Costing 24k Utar, it is one of the fastest mounts in the game. - Jeidi
You can also obtain this mount from Redstone Keep Merchant. - Snowman

- You can obtain a Leopard Mount with the same speed for 6.6k Utar. - Michiel

- Capture cities/villages instead of outposts. Owning these opens up their exclusive dungeons which give unique and powerful items. - Jeidi

- Keep working on your Brawling skills, as these will allow you to enter tournaments which will gives you rewards like gear and Wisdom Crystals. - Jeidi

- Keep increasing your prestige in settlements. There's a wandering NPC who will allow you to hire a powerful healing unit; White Rose Healers, that can only be found in Tribal Halls which require you to have high prestige in order to enter. Higher prestige also increases the quality of troops you will be able to hire when talking to the Village Elder. - Jeidi

- There’s a free expansion for the game that is not on the Steam store. It’s located in the mod section in the main menu and you have to activate it. It adds a ton of new quests, items, and a couple playable characters. - Malech

- Companions with 50-99 relationship can level up their command skill to level two, while those with 100 can increase it to level 3. Just click the Dialogue icon in your party menu and choose "About your command.." to level up the skill. - loseaturn

- Before meeting Ifirt Void Master, there is a tall Ifirt and a short Ifirt. Talk to them twice. They will request that you bring them some water. Give them some and they pay you with a Book of Fire (water can be obtained by talking to the farmer(?) in the same map). Complete searching for all pages of the Book of Fire, fight the boss, and choose not to release him, you can summon him in battle when you have the Book of Fire equipped. - Plant a Butterfly

- Fastest way to increase affection with a party member when gifts are hard to find is to dismiss them near a town, then ask what you can do for them. You can recruit them back after that and proceed to do their task. - zAcEz

- "The Legacy Companion Threnody has a skill at 20 Relationship that grants one Wisdom Chrystal every week.

That's the extra Skill Point item. Super valuable!

You have to unlock her in Crystal Springs the first time, I don't know if you can do it in subsequent playthroughs though, I haven't tried. Though you can take her as a starting companion in the Legacy Shop after unlocking her." - 2chuu4u

I didn't notice any changes between companions from those conversations. They only affect character's reputation. Reputation between companions is affected only by random events, and some of them have friends or enemies from the beginning.

The Grand Mugwump a écrit :

Another fun fact, lucky flowers improve your chances of acquiring high tier units from prisons and the portal while in your inventory. The more, the better.

Are you sure about that? I thought unit tier depends on guard level. For example, level 16+ prison gives at least t3 units.

Yes, the higher the level requirement the better troops you get. It has nothing to do with luck, would be fun if yes however. I just use mods now to choose what unit I want anyway.

[leader cocaine]

lucky flowers are a meme
that guide was clearly trolling
(nothing wrong with trolling)

[leader cocaine]

i collect them flowers too btw
i dont believe in luck
but i dont want to stretch mine y know
honestly tho i do not see any changes in having them or not

cant get power full bar maiden items because i play female character. no dating.

they punish female characters in the game.
so they are racist against same gender relations.

Though I agree with the substance of this comment and believe they should add male bar patrons for female characters to flirt with, the comment about racism made me cringe just a bit much there.

Okay, so after looking through the LUA's (Q全局掉落表.xlsx). the only things I found which affect drop chances and amounts is the player's level (which possibly caused the confusion if their level increased along with gathering lucky flowers) and a variable called "Low magic," which I'm assuming was an old real mode setting which prevented the big magical creatures like dragons, demons and phoenixes from spawning.

Does Bleed actually do % damage? I have yet to see it tick for more than a couple hundred... even against an enemy with a couple hundred thousand HP. Lol

I've seen it hit for 3000 a tick. I think it's capped by what tier of bleed and burn the skill can apply. Any skill which applies bleed or burn is almost always worth maxing out because of that. A tier 1 bleed? Not going to do anything. Shaman's maxed canis form getting a tier 5 bleed on something + the damage bonuses against bleeding = 1500+ per tick unless it critical hits (yes, bleed can critical hit apparently). Jackal getting it up to a tier 9 bleed? It's not living much longer.

Edit: Playing as Jackal on new game +2 at level 22, I saw his tier 9 bleed tick on a heroic soul for 4k damage and then crit for 8k with the legacy +45% damage against bleeding targets. Quite devastating.

Also, say what you will about party dialog being bad, but name an easier way to both increase favor with your entire party for free AND improve favor with everyone who likes them, creating a solid base of people who all like you and each other while weeding out the ones who will betray you by making them enemies early.

Any good bleed skills that you can buy for classes that don't have access to that kind of thing?

Edit: Burning Vial seems good, even on a melee character.

I guess you didn't read or comprehend part of the quest in Camel Bell Bazaar where it literally told you where to go next? If his wife died decades ago, how could he have a young daughter? Perhaps investigating the grave he was standing next to in the second part at Cotta Town will reveal more answers.

gender relations is not a race. just submit a bug report and hope they change it or go and download one of the mods that fixes it.
