Stupid Newbie Questions

[ritnfool]

Just got this game and had a couple questions:

1) Combos - If I put a combo in a quick-slot, how do you perform it? Right-click ON the icon, right-click on monster?

2) Just got an item called a Dragon Statue. Doesn't look like it does anything, and not much in the item description. What is it and what does it do?

Thanks for any and all help.

Screwed up - I think the dragon item is called Dragon Idol.

1) Right click on the enemy. Some skills like traps or enhancers doesn't require to right click the enemy, instead you can use them by right clicking anywhere.

2) If you have obtained the item Dragon statue, and in the description it says "Icons", it's a very rare set of 6 pieces (you got one) that can be obtained randomly as a reward for missions and chests, and when you put all the 6 pieces together in your inventory, it makes your feet come out flames when walking. Fire will damage enemies. Icons set is used with equipment combinations (varies depending on the character class you choose) to wreak havoc on the enemy.

Thank you for this. I always thought the icons were just useless kitsch items. What about the other things we get - like the game box? Is there a use for them, as well?

Sorry I don't understand what you mean.

I have often gotten a "game box", and, I think, some other items that seemed to have no use. Again, I always thought it was just an Easter Egg, but maybe it has some other use?

As far as I know they have no use. they must be an easter egg

IIRC the message when you get to the first Runemaster in Belleview says there is a secret item that might help him. Dunno if that is one of the 'Easter-egg' items mentioned or not.

Right clicking casts whatever combo is in the active slot. But to change slots afaik you need to use the mouse.

Another un-documented tidbit is the F1-F6 keys can be used to hotkey individual spells/CAs. Then subsequently pressing F1-F6 will change the active combo-slot to the keyed spell. So you eventually have 9 'quick-slots' at higher level (ie. you have 4 combo-slots, but use one of those to quickly micro the F1-F6 keys during fights).

A combo-hack is to make a combo of a single spell and keep both the spell and the combo in your quick-slots. That way, if the spell cooldown time > duration time, you can switch to the 'combo' and cast it while the other is still cooling down, and vice versa.

Everything I've ever read about the game boxes says that they do nothing, they are just an easter egg. They are boxes of other games the developers had made. As to the item the first combo master was talking about, I have no idea. I kept my eyes open for a while with every character. But now I don't even bother to read what anyone has to say. I click, accept quest, and go.
