Fledgling Fyora Mythe Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Hi, I believe fort dedications are permanent, and so was hoping for a bit of direction on optimizing them. I plan to play a pretty loyalist playthrough on veteran, with 1 melee, 1 archer, 2 spellcasters (if that matters). Current plan is to go: 4 Ro - Just to get the bonus rep here since I am guessing most of my loyalist choices are going to give -Ro rep so this might balance a little? 1 Knowledge - Get energy potions Rest Industry. Any pros/cons of the above would be appreciated! ~Myth PS: What is the max number of dedications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish Dr. Hieronymous Alloy Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) I've been thinking through the same question. Overall I think the best option is *probably* 1 knowledge / 2 industry / 4 rho OR 1/3/3 depending. That assumes you are taking mad flurry and resolve of the rho. That's based on a few assumptions though. First is that you're generally making pro Haven reputation choices and / or pissing off the rho, such that the rho rep is useful to you. Second is that your characters have the spare points for those skills. Third is that your party has an even split between magic and physical damage. If your party balances towards physical damage then industry has a lot of advantages. Edit: seven forts total so seven upgrades. It's probably best to upgrade knowledge first as energy potions are often the difference between a failed dungeon run and a successful one.

Ineffable Wingbolt mikeprichard Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 3/3/1 Ro/Industry/Knowledge is my plan. I don't feel the 4 Ro theft reduction (the rep boost is at 3 Ro, not 4) is worth forgoing the alternatives. In any case, I think at least 2 Industry (for Mad Flurry) and 1 Knowledge (for Energy Potions) seem almost mandatory - though obviously personal play style is a major factor. So, I guess I'm in line with Dr. Hieronymous above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 It doesn't really matter if you don't mind a ritual fight at the end. I've done 3/4 and 4/3 for industry and knowledge to get either more physical damage or power potions for more energy in fights. This was tried on torment difficulty.

Ineffable Wingbolt Mechalibur Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 3 Ro is also really good for the skill that gets you mental/stun resist. You can easily get your whole party to 90% resistance for the most annoying effects in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora Mythe Posted October 7, 2022 Author Share Posted October 7, 2022 Thanks for all the help! I think ill go 3/3/1 Ro/Industry/Knowledge then. Seems more rounded without missing anything crucial. ~Myth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila pixelpusher Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Hi, I've dedicated two forts to Industry but Mad Flurry does not unlock. Adding a third fort didn't do the trick either. Anything I missed along the way? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Did you go to the Tower of Erudico and use the crafting anvil to unlock it? You also have to devote resources there that you find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila pixelpusher Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Haha, yeah, I figured it out this morning. Thanks for the rapid reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
