Arcanist spellbook bugged

[Nataku]

Hello,
my main char is an arcanist lvl 17 with 28 int (+9), just started the chap V and changed my mythic path from lich to Golder Dragon... well my spellbook is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, I can prepare only 2 spells from lvl 8 (against 3 I did before) and 0 spells from lvl 9 (before I was able to set 3).

How is that possible???

You merged your spellbook with Lich, yes? Now it's un-merged.

Well mistake #1 changing from Lich to GD....
But Lich can merge it's spellbook with any arcane caster, adding it's mythic levels to your caster level, meaning you get access to higher level/more spells sooner.
GD doesn't do that. So welcome back to 'naked' Arcanist.

Ah damn, missed that, I thought I would have lost spells from lich path only. When "naked" arcanist can cast lvl9 spells?

At level 18. You should be able to discern that yourself from the character sheet. It says where you gain which spells and abilities if you click on Class.

Nope, the real reason merged spellbooks are so powerful is that you can hit CL30, including more spell slots, significantly better spell penetration, better damage scaling (on spells not capped to scale only to 20) etc.

At this point I'm so deeply disappointed by the mythic system... so an arcane caster MUST be total Evil to get the best from his class

Pretty much anyone who goes gold dragon, will be dissapointed by the mythic system. It really doesnt matter what class or build, the gold dragon will be worse then what you were.

Azata has some interesting interactions with spells such as Favorable magic wchich forces enemies to roll twice and take the worse results vs your DCs and Zippy Magic which doublecasts your spells. Sure you don't merge a spellbook, but the spells you're casting will be stronger. I think Trickster path gets you a free full level wizard spellbook. So you have two spellbooks with spells and wizard is one level ahead of arcanist so if you had trickster you'd be able to cast level 9 spells at this point I think.

Unfortunatly I'm stuck now, I can chose only dragon or legendary.... Is there an editor to cheat the saves?

Toybox can help you out, it can reset your mythic path choices. Not sure how that affects the game at the point you're at, but you can give it a whirl.

Thanks, maybe I will give a try in future but now I prefer to give up with this game, the fun is gone

I understand. Having knowledge on what the mythic paths do and their requirements is important to know. I added the mythic path alignment requirements and such to the wiki. That should help for future endeavours.
