Hey all! I'm kind of late to the Crystal Souls party, but having analyzed all the info in this forum and others, I have come up with what I think is an optimized party build for a completionist's run through torment difficulty. Thanks to everyone who contributed so much great info on this forum. If there is anything I missed for a complete run with all medals, please let me know. Not notated below are the following bonuses: If you have graymold salve, a drake in the Scree Pits will give your whole party +1 spellcraft for 2,000gp In the NE lava pits in the Vahnatai lands (the place where you get the fiery sword), there's a building where you can find a bug husk, and a building with an altar where you can place a bug husk (the second altar requires the Orb of Thralni). Go back and forth 3 times, and the whole party gets hardiness +1 In the Vahnatai Castle, there's a green crystal in a secret room. If you have a total of 13 Arcane Lore (Vahnatai lore doesn't help with this), then the whole party gets resistance +1 In the Empire Archives, there is a "Cleaning Room" that requires 15 tool use. Whole party gets +1 hardiness. On the top floor of Ornotha Ziggurat, in the Southeast section, there is a room with two chairs. The game will ask if you sit on them. If you do, everyone gets +1 magical efficiency. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
