Combat mastery learning and treatises

[Mngwa]

I play with electromancer and later in game I decided to try a few combat mastery skills. BUT idiotic scribes sell only combat mastery treatises lv. 2 everywhere for some reason. Also merchants never have it. Really, what is the point of scribes selling only lv. 2 treatises? Does not have any friggin logic.

Pretty sure that's just part of the game world. Magic is dangerous and costly to one's mind and body, it's not a common practice.

Have you checked the Rotten Willow?

Edit: My bad, I thought you were looking for magic treatises.

No, havent got there yet. What I do not get is the idiocy behind this game mechanism, instead having let us say this:
smaller city = scribes selling lv. 1 treatises
bigger city = scribes selling lv. 2 treatises

That would be logical, but no! Creators decided it would be much better and convenient to throw lv. 2 everywhere and let just player wait till he gets needed lv. 1 one from random merchant goods for the 1000th attempt. Really, times like this I would just send the game and its producers to hell. I do not mind difficult games but this nonsensical tedious ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ just provokes me. Uffff ... the game would be certainly much better without sh*t like this.

There's no point in selling level 1 treatises because most tier 1 skills are learnable via trainers for 250 crowns. Ask Weber (the governor) in Mannshire to teach you the first tier of Combat Mastery.

Seems like a lot of people again, skip dialogues and not even reading, because if..you have seen the option, that they can teach you those "basic" skills....
You also find them in dungeons very often...
Its a shame tho a developer has to explain it, again, since you usually wouldnt miss it...if you would play the game "properly".
I bet the minority dont even ask npcs for rumors to get location/questionsmarks on the map.
