Best Items

[acwellan]

So I am 30-40 plus hours in just about to enter the castle. My guys are around level 19 but I have not had a single weapon or armour upgrade since the items sold by the vendors in Skae Brae and the guy who's shop you save.

Ok I really like the game but I am an item fiend. I like to think that better items are just around the corner but I am not so sure.

I bought the shields and armour from the armour dude at the start in town and the guy who shop you help him recover I bought all the mage gear but thats it. All the vendor's gear since then has been worse.

For example the shoes that are low level but reduce the cost of a spell by one point seem about the best in the game. I also have the 30% increase damage if you move forward which I use with the death touch spell (as my guy is an archmage) but I have had them since the start.

Ok I found a few helms that are ok the turle helm, the plume thing. silver circlet etc but the elf weapons are about middling and the best ones are the adamantite ones which you get very early. The spear is ok, perhaps the best because its plus 20 strength which is about the only stat that really matters.

It would be good if they could add some better items into the game.. maybe for a future patch.

You do get better items but there are few upgrades left for you. They come very slowly and not very often at all. I agree that the last 1/3 of the game needs more items for those of us that are loot focused.

Unfortunately most of the gear you can get from the start (armor dude and roscoe) are the best you'll get. I don't know why they went this route. I suppose they expected you to save up and revisit Skara Brae often to get better gear, but it's ridiculously easy (in my opinion) to get the gear early on anyway. Hopefully we'll get some cooler gear. Don't forget to grab the headgear in the temple where you save the priestess at the isles though.

I kind of like that you see great items right from the start, and the items you can buy are not gradually getting worthless again and again, punishing you for buying them.

However they don't cover all item types and there is still lots of new and better items you can find in the game, especially puzzle items which sometimes have massively overpowered abilities.

Wait really? This game is like 40+ hours and the best gear(s) come from the vendors in Brae? This seems SUPER weird to me. I have been playing a lot like 40 hours and just entered the second area cause I like to explore and also restarted due to a bug. If thats true, this seems kinda boring down the line as progression becomes stale.

Depends what you mean by "best"

There are lots of neat artifacts with great stats but you may want to use purchased gear instead depending on build, especially ifyou're a frontliner.

Thanks for that. I did get the helm in the temple, says somethign about sprouting hair and I also seem to recall it had a man regn ability.

I think my real disappointment is in lack of weapons for my mage. I got the oaken staff from the vendor you help and thats it. It was the second thing I bought following a shield from the skae brae armour dude. Again no better shields..

Still another patch today hopefully in a future pacth they might consider this issue as the game is great.
