Tier II - Greater Arcane Soul

[ravend]

Does anyone know what Creature might contain/drop a Greater Arcane Soul?

I came across 1 in my last Necro run (which I completed the 'discover all recipes' challenge) however despite hitting different towns with Leech Soul and trying to capture souls I could not fine a second one.

Tier II, Great Arcane Soul - 2 blue/1 green - Allfire Affinity (+2 Allfire per day)

Yeah I found one or two in the soul flowers, I think it's pretty rare because of that bonus.

Never heard of that soul. But +2 Allfire is really great! Necro + Nature might just bunker up lol. Imagine stack of Greater Arcane Undead + Allembic Chamber ... ALLFIRE! lol, who needs Greater Allfire, that's for noobs!

Greater allfire is not a must indeed. In my last game I had just 1 such node, enchantment building gives +8 research and has 3 extension slots which can give +10 research or +10 mastery. Also the building can be constructed several times.

Enchantment is very strong. It's well wort going 2x Ench imo.

I play all schools as 2x, it results in more variety in playstyle. I still need to play double earth and double guardian, everything else is done. Probably Necromancer with 2 Guardian starting in mountains and then Alchemist with 2 Earth starting in misty coast might be fun.

Based on my statistics I think Greater Arcane Soul is quite rare indeed (only 13 on the screenshot). Pure death souls are really common.

Necromancer with 2x Guardian would be entirely too easy in Misty. With that said, how would an Undead and Guardian Magic interact? It is my impression that, logically, they are not very agreeable with each other.

Can you please share your opinions on the rest of Schools, how did you play them and how were they overall?

I am not sure it will be easy. Main point of guardian is to fight undead and buff mortal units, but necromancer does not need it. Also mountain start is quite hard because of moles who will block undead mage.

Nature is about spamming free upkeep beasts, mentalism is about easy money and free upkeep in domain, enchantment is about high research and powerful summons (my last tier summon had 24 armor and 24 morale comparing to standard 20 and 18 I think), death is about increasing stack size and getting undead units. I still need to try less typical combos to see how good death school can be for alchemist or nature for necromancer.

Impressive! As mentioned, I only had 1 for the entire Necro run, and this was the mission I also completed all recipes. (so a fair bit of farming and hitting the spawn from the higher zones). Timewise I can see you have longer there (I reached 107 Mastery before finishing) but 13 is quite a haul.

That was a special game where I completed all events on the map and researched all spells before declaring myself a winner. Normally you don't see that many souls indeed.

Where did you find it? Also, how to make the Alchemy Allembic Allfire upgrade? 6e / 9L .

Find what? I used dragon heart (+3 to every essence type you already have) to build a room extension which required 9+9. 9+6 is much easier.

What gives 3L and 2e?

Sorry, I don't enjoy this part of Conquest very much. It's very fiddly, overly specific and I feel like the room upgrades cost too much.

Do you seriosly expect me to remember such details? If you see something with 4-5 pips in shops, consider buying it. The high costs make you choose what to build, you cannot have everything you want as soon as you unlock room extensions.

Man, Alchemist + Nature is AWESOME! This is ... wow! :)))

(with that said, Magic Forest should get reworked so you can place them next to each other ... otherwise they aren't that strong ; those Primordial Mangroves though ... O.o)
