Two Quick Questions - A5

1. Save your money for learning new spells and only upgrade a spell that you use regularly like for healing.

In the Second Avernum Trilogy an extra level only adds a little to damage or healing and raising Spellcraft or Magery will do the same to all your spells.

 

Spending money on skills that you haven't trained in will be more useful.

 

2. Emeralds and rubies are used to craft wands, but this doesn't happen until the middle of the game (next area for you). By then most wands that are crafted aren't that useful. You would do better selling them for money.

 

Focusing crystals are crafted into more useable items.

 

Jeff replaced most trash mob fights with mini-boss and boss fights that need different tactics to win.

 

Welcome to Spiderweb Software. Please leave your sanity at the door. Expect to lose it in a few more areas when you hit the Azure Gallery and nastier boss monsters. :)

unlike the original poster, I fail to see any genius in the Prime Sentinel battle. It may be the most gimmicky, luck dependent piece of role playing battle design ever. It is NOT challenging. It is just plain frustrating. It requires a BioWare engine to execute properly. As constructed it's just random luck that you know nature lore will be useful before you get there. And the inability to place characters before battle usually leaves at least two to die on the first turn as prime gets three instant area effect attacks. I am rapidly falling out of love with Spiderweb over this one poorly designed gimmick fight.
