Camping on Normal NOT Heal Party??

[LevelSix_SYSTEM]

Trying a run on Normal difficulty to see if i stand a chance but It seems i cant heal when i camp? Have 2 on hunting and it takes a few hours to get the rations and then it does the cinematic where party chats but then it passes OVER a whole day and not a single HP restored???

[Arden]

Do you have a party member who can cast healing spells? Druid, cleric, bard? And do they have healing spells? I'm not sure if you can get any healing from resting without those.

[LevelSix_SYSTEM]

Yeah I have Linzi, Harrim, and Jeathal ALL with healing spells and the 'rest', that really only just passed time, took over 24 in game hours (25 i think) and thats means there should have been plenty of time to 'rest' > heal > then rest again in the time it used... but nothing??

You must have food or go hunting. I think you just passed time without resting, which happens if you unselect food and nobody is hunting.
Then nobody uses their spells because they don't refresh their spells and every character is saving them for the journey.
If you have enough food (1 per party member) AND select food use or go hunting (they will hunt until they have enough food or are attacked during the hunt) they will use their remaining healing spells to heal the party and then refresh their spells by resting.
If you just pass time (without food or hunting) nobody will use the healing spells to save them.
You can delliberatly just "pass time" (if there is a quest wich needs a specific day time or you want to explore in daylight or night for some reasons, you can just "pass time" by not using food or not hunting and using the slider on top..

I had 2 go hunting it took 6 hours to get 6 rations the second time, reloaded and redid camp a few times and hunting was selected every time....

? Never happend to me. Did you use the slider on top? Maybe you didn't rest long enough to refresh your spells?
I don't know, normally there is no problem with healing, click on the food tab and go hunting and normally everybody would use their remaining spells to heal.

Are you in a dungeon?

Ive been looking at the time of day 'slider'(?) at the top unsure of how it works... I even set healing to Natural Healing and a heart symbol appeared on the slider but then it still didnt heal when i activated camp....??

[Bony]

If you select "natural healing" they will not use the spells. Sorry, I really don't know, I think if you select "use helaing spells" and have food selected (not "cooking", this is not the same) and go hunting, you should heal if you have healing spells left.

[LevelSix_SYSTEM]

Hmmmm ok in Camp Management I selected Natural Healing, the heart symbol showed up but i couldnt select or shift the slider but after I hit Begin Resting and the Hunt was finished THEN it let me move the slider and i was able to actually rest and heal..... bloody hell this alone makes me wanna go back to Easy Mode LOL

[LevelSix_SYSTEM]

ANNNND It took 4 whole days for a 'single' camp to get that heal.... here i thought 19 hours of resting was bad on easy LOL...

OK thanks for the help! I think I understand how it works on Normal now

[Arden]

I honestly don't understand what was the problem. But then again I never touched the camping options, sliders, etc. at all except assignments. It works just fine.

Don't understand camping either. I don't see where I can select options.

- it doesn't heal
- half my party is still tired anyway, even without having been attacked

I saw the comments about having healing spells, but I used them all in combat already.... Because isn't it the point of a healing spell, to have the fighter focused on fighting while you heal them with spell's??!?!

So many risks and time spent on reloading save after having been ambushed for literally no gain whatsoever....

I am seriously thinking of skipping the feature, and keep on healing with potions. And fighting while being tired, but with or without rest, we are all tired anyway.

If this game is just about grinding lucky rolls, that's not going to interest me. Don't remember having any problems in the Baldur's Gate series with this though..........

You do have to have healing spells left in order to get any extra healing while resting. I recommend resting before you run out of healing spells completely. Have you also used up your clerics' channel energy ability for the day?

Re: Still being tired. I'm guessing you mean that all party members have the "fatigued" status? Have you assigned party members to roles in camp? If you haven't assigned a hunter and haven't checked "use rations," then the party doesn't actually rest--see the first screenshot below: the button on the bottom left says "skip time." If you click that, time will advance nine hours but your party won't actually rest (see message at the very top of the screen).

To fix that, click the "manage" button in the top left corner of the screen. It will open the screen shown in the second screenshot below. In this screen you can assign party members to tasks while you camp. If you have enough rations for all party members, check "use rations" above the hunter slot. If not, assign a party member to hunt--preferably whoever has the Lore (Nature) skill. For best results, check "use rations" AND asssign someone to hunt--that way the hunter hunts for one hour only and you make up the difference of what they catch with rations, i.e., assign Tristian to hunt, he catches food equal to three rations, and you use three of the rations you're carrying.

Assign party members to all camping tasks. Have someone with the stealth skill do camp camouflage (Octavia can be good at this). It doesn't always work, but when successful it reduces your chance of being ambushed while you rest. If you still get ambushed, after fighting off your attackers, click on the fire in the middle of the camp to resume your rest so your party members can refresh their spells.

Look at the top right corner of the management screen to see how healing is set up. You want party members with healing spells left to heal the injured while resting. DON'T set it to natural healing; you won't recover much that way.

When all of that's done, click "OK" at the bottom of the management screen to return to the first screen. The button at the bottom left should now say "Begin resting." Click it and rest!

I also recommend saving right before you click the camping icon. That way if you suffer a bad ambush you can just reload. Remember, too, that the game has several difficulty settings. If it's not fun, there's no shame in changing to an easier setting. When you feel like you've got a grip on how things work, you can always turn the difficulty up again.

I hope that's some help.
