Can an Experienced Player Make a Guide?

[duckbagtm]

Very interesting and enjoyable game, although finding help with it is very difficult.

It would be fantastic if someone could make a guide explaining both the Class system, and the Skill system (in depth).

What classes are needed for what skills?

What does upgrading each skill specifically do?

Thank you!

It's on game banshee! At least some of it. http://www.gamebanshee.com/dungeonlords/classes-mmxii.php

mmxii is like the steam version in "What classes are needed for what skills?"

"What does upgrading each skill specifically do?"

I personally don't have time to make a guide but people can ask me questions for the steam version.



I will add some things I know or suspect. Steam version is different from CE which I have also played. If I mark ** it means I think this but didn't prove it.

Weaponry (eg axe sword): improves damage**

Magic Weaponry: unlocks some power on magic weapons listed on weapon. Also might increase magnitude of the damage eg flaming weapon do more damage**

Dual Weapon: unlocks equip off hand light weapon. I don't think it adds more damage with more points?**


Armor (eg cloth, leather, chain): improves defense. Also boosting all of them helps if you wear your highest possible. For example a fighter wearing chain could boost chain skill but also leather and cloth will help a little bit too. I don't know the equation or weighting exactly. My character only has access to leather and cloth and if he wear all leather raising cloth helps his defense in tooltip.

Parry: raise defenses specifically parry ability. In CE I never knew if it worked but on steam version I believe the defenses page of character sheet shows benefit

Shield: I'm not sure I usually just hack things a lot and don't use shield much

Magic (any type): raises damage for sure. I think it might raise durations, magnitudes of effects other than damage, and maybe summon strength. I haven't tested anything!

Atheltics: raises speed. I tested this by saving LOTS of adv points and then speccing them in increments and testing my run speed door to door at the Celestine temple in Arrindale

Bargain: better prices

Bash: better bash chests

Repair: fix more damage with repair kit before kit breaks.

Scout: more detect enemy on mini map.. find some secret lever bricks.

Thiefs skills: If you played the game these are obvious except stealing can make humanoids drop items and gold when you smack them with melee. I've never gotten a powerful enchanted item (eg a drop with good prefix and suffix or any prefix suffix) from stealing which is kind of what I would hope for.

The Game Banshee guide is the most in depth and helpful guide for this game I've ever found, and I've looked, I swear it. It is extremely helpful to new and old players alike. I definitely recommend it.

Bad news is - gamebanshee content is currently down. I sent them an email to let them know, but pretty much anything accessed from the right side menu just errors; that means skills, individual class pages, walkthrough, etc.

its not down, as of this message i am currently looking through it.

Ahh, you're right. It's not down, just the style sheets are broken, so you have to scroll down a few pages to see actual content.
