Rotghroth Rhapsody Kreador Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 You have become a skribbane addict. You either need to keep using the skribbane, or spend enough time not using it that the need goes away. Someone who's been through it would have to tell you how long that is, as I never touch the stuff. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer vstef96 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Skribbane gives you a speed boost, but if you dont use it all the time, you will be weakened and cursed, i never touched the skribbane anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Øther Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Ive used it only twice so far, and it is only for very tough battles. Its effects are great, but each time you use it, the effects don't last as long as the last time you used it. Usually the point around where you get addicted is when you use it 5 times.

Garrulous Glaahk Avarakadavra Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 I have 29 skribbanes. And I'm using them every time i have a hard battle. And I'm getting cursed too much times. But i don't care. I'm still using them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Wind Wolf Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I have no intention of using the stuff, I have acutally been looking for a way to destroy it. I don't want to sell it because it is bad stuff so I just keep collecting all I find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 You could go to a nice corner in the western reaches and dump them all in a crate. That way, no one will get any. Well, maybe a curious orge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As expected, the giant is hostile. You are unhappy to discover that he is crazy too. His mouth is covered with green stains. As are his face, hands, and chest. He has been eating anything he could find in this abandoned workshop, even things he perhaps should not have eaten. Not quite an ogre but I personally think that giants are better.

Garrulous Glaahk Avarakadavra Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 So... I don't understand... Should i eat them sell them or destroy them? Because i prefer to eat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 It's a good idea to keep some skribbane on hand for emergencies and very tough fights, but it's probably not worth the hassle of withdrawal or the expense of the habit to use it often for non-cataclysmic battles. If you don't mind going through the annoyance, though, use the stuff with abandon. That's what addiction is for, right? Selling the rest judiciously at the end of the game can help a bit, but honestly the extra levels aren't going to make or break your game. Destroy skribbane only if you're doing it for roleplaying purposes and decidedly do not care about min-maxing. —Alorael, who considers all situations emergencies. Pedestrians? Time for skribbane. Taxes? Skribbane. Bored? Skribbane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug Golgoth Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 But Alorael don't the dissadvantages make it so that even using it 5 times can destroy you? Unless you only keep 4 on you and once you done with them your done I would recommend not having it in your inventory at all the temptation to use the stuff is overwhelming.

Ineffable Wingbolt Øther Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 THe effects don't destroy you, just make combat quite a bit more irritating. What I did was put the skribbane in my second character's inventory, so most of the time I don't even realize that its there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Talias Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 How many dealesrs are there, can I kill the one in the underground city? (He stopped giving moi exp). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Øther Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I know that there is one in Dharmon, one in the ruins near almeria, and one under silvar. There may be more. The one near ALmaria sells skribbane for 5 coins cheaper, and the one in Dharmon, of course, collects it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Yes, you can kill the Dharmon dealer now if you want. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Avarakadavra Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 I have 20 skribbane in my inventory and I've totally forgotten to use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk DokEnkephalin Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Using skribbane just isn't worth it, there are already loads of good potions, scrolls and wands without the negative side effects. Even playing as a singleton, I've got an overflowing stash to use. The influence of skribbane is bad for military discipline and maintaining troop fighting condition, but I have no moral qualms about selling the stuff to civilians who make the choice to put it in their bodies. And if ordered to kill them, I have no problems with that, either -- it helps that they tend to be douchebags. So might as well sell the stuff until the exp gains diminish, then whack that sewer rat peddling it for commendations and cash. And to hell with those zombie addicts; they brought it on themselves.

Tenderfoot Thahd tyrol Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I think the Skribbane sound alone is worth the negative effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
