Kyshakk Koan MagusofStars Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Due to the wait till G5 comes out for P, I'm replaying the earlier games in the series and had a couple quick questions about G2 since it's been a long time since I played through it: 1.) How many 'hard points' (e.g. not taking into account Canisters/Charms/Infiltrator stuff) in Leadership&Mechanics is enough to get through the game reasonably? 2.) What are all the available crafted items and who makes them? I remember Darian has a piece of armor and Sharon has a nice ring, but I think there are more and I can't remember them. Also, do any of the ingredients overlap a'la G3, where if you make the Creator's Belt you essentially won't get the Crystalline Shroud until the game's over (because the second Deep Focus Orb is a royal pain to get)? 3.) What collection quests are there? I remember from previous playthroughs there's a lot more than later games (and the limited cash of merchants in the game makes it more important) Thanks in advance!

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 2) I don't remember what they all are, but I don't think you have to worry about not getting all the artifacts. 3) Iron bars, gemstones and emeralds, research notes, and shaper equipment.

Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 1) Aim for pumping each to ten. There are a few items and skills that you can get to max it out 2) You can get Sharon's ring by getting her a perfect Drayk skin, a pure crystal, and a purified esscence vail. Another is a shaper in rising south road will make you a shaped breastplate, a servile blacksmith in Triola will make you a shaped blade, Learned whatshisface in his waste north of Zhass-uss wil make you somthing pretty decent, and a serviles in the north part of the swamp will make you the All-Protector, a decent shield. There might be a few more but I think that pretty much sums it up. 3) What Dikiyoba said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug Paladin95 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I've always been partial to pumping mech to ~12, but it's not necessary to complete the game. I think the highest leadership you'll ever need is 10 after items. If you plan ahead for when to get leadership-boosting items, you can get away with about 8. If you plan on powergaming the Awakened for exp., go for the 10 hard points early. Sharon's Ring is the only artifact worth getting. The Agent's Shelter is better than the All-Protector, the Guardian Claymore is better than the Shaped Blade, and you can get great armors with less penalty to hit than the Shaped Breastplate. Don't save gemstones and emeralds for the collection quest. The merchant who wants them gives you less than you can sell them for, and very little exp.

You have forgotten about the emerald chestguard. Dikiyoba. So I did. The Puresteel Soulblade isn't crafted - one of the Gazers in Benerrii-Uss takes some of your primary stats in exchange for it.

Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 The Agents shelter isn't forged either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Originally Posted By: Ackrovan The Agents shelter isn't forged either. He knows. That's why he said the All-Protector wasn't worth getting; because there was a non-artifact item better than it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus only seven or so 'hard points' need to be reached in each skill. 2) I don't think the Shaped Breastplate is all that exciting. Long before getting it the character should already have the Crystalline Plate which has equal armor value and also provides Acid & Energy Resistance.
