    This doesn't sound like a bad idea in theory, by how do you make up for the fact that escape scrolls are next to impossible to find after levels 1-10. If they always made escape scrolls available in the first few levels of each set of 10, that actually would go a long way towards making this game more enjoyable to play.

    I still don't see why you say its impossible to find escape scrolls. I have never failed to find one in the 1st 5 floors from wherever I started. Just break all the pots :l

    I don't think I've gotten that lucky and started playing from floor 1 as a result, but I'll give it some more tries.

    I'm working on beating floor 100, and I haven't even come close to needing IAP. Nightmare mode doesn't interest me, either. Same enemies, same levels, same everything, just with higher numbers? Not a reason to invest, in my opinion.

    Also, afaik, the first five floors of any depth will always have a return scroll in one of the pots. Since I was told here, I started checking to be sure. Haven't missed since.

    If you already have an escape scroll, then it doesn't generate new ones? Is that right? Maybe that's why people think they aren't found deeper. If you always start at level 1, then of course you're going to find them in the low floors.

    IMHO, it would be better if it would generate more. You could Gold Touch your extra escape scrolls and enter the dungeon with one in hand, if you want.

    I agree. There should be more escape scrolls.
    Or maybe always just start with one. You'd still have the same risk vs reward thing going if you didn't use it before dying. But it would be less of a pain in the ass trying to find one.

    AFAIK, the game cannot generate escape scrolls beyond the first. I have never seen it happen. Also, I have only ever seen them come out of pots. Never trash piles, or chests. Additionally, their location seems to be generated when you start a run from any location in the cave, and it is very difficult to find one after the fifth floor of any particular depth.

    For example, say I start on floor 51. If I break every pot I see on my way to 55, and I still haven't gotten a scroll, it's almost certainly because I missed a pot somewhere between 51-55, and very rarely because the game is generating a scroll between 56-60. If I don't have a scroll, I usually reset at floor 55, 65, 75, etc.

    I thought so too, for a while. But if you learn how they're generated, it really isn't all that bad. Being able to buy one from the vendor at each 10 levels would be cool, though, provided it's not for gems.

    You can turn things gold in EC2 with the Transmute spell you can unlock in the skill tree. It might take several runs to unlock it but with it you could potentially turn everything you find to gold. Of course that would be pointless, but you could do it.

    The only problem with this is that transmuted objects aren't good for the museum, just as equipment ;)

    So it seems. Since your inventory doesn't seem to have any limits you can keep stuff there if you don't want to get rid of it.

    What stats are needed to beat the level 60 boss? I went through and collected about 160 health potions and about 60 manna potions the boss was able to kill me while I continuously spammed health potions. I am currently level 24.

    IDK, but I checked the boss stats and after seeing it had 44k life points, I used the scroll and went back to the village. To much for a level 19 player... :p

    Stack your water resist to cut down on damage when it rages.

    Did you know you could earn 30 crystals easily? Click on the Facebook link and it will reward you with some crystals! No need to log in. It is like a daily reward thing. You could do it daily. I have already amassed 90 crystals in 3 days :):D:eek::p;)

    Worked for me. Nice! Think I'll keep doing that every day while I continue to play EC2 and start playing this again after I have a good stash of crystals :)

    Don't you get a few thousand crystals for $3? So clicking every day for 30 crystals is like getting a penny.
