So i played the lite version of the game, and the first time I was a bit put off. It was hard, the graphics were weird, and I was really weak against monsters. So then I forced myself to play it again a few months later. And I completely fell in love with the game. In the lite in Matras, I beat all the quests, leveled up as far as I could and exlpored every nook and cranny within the limits of the demo. soon after, i got the full game for 5 bucks. After putting another 10 hours into the full game, I can say its well worth it. Great fleshed out world, antiquate but REWARDING gameplay. You feel like a champ when you take down a boss or find a new powerful weapon. currently, I arrived at the village of phryn, but found i was too weak to advance further. I'm level 10, almost 11. So I went back to Vastares and went to the dungeon where all the ghouls and general skeletons are and got a lot of lot and got up to level 11. I'm planning on perhaps going down to train in the forest by the monsatery (already went through the dungeon near the mountain thing) and got the priest sword after exercising that demon. Thats the only complaint though, how certain weapons are so powerful that even if you are too weak for an area, it makes it so you can just barely scrape by but when you get to the next area, you are weak as hell. so it is kind of unbalanced in that respect. Still, lovin it. I will definitely buy the expansions once (if) I ever finish the full game. Its really high quality, thanks Chillingo/Redshift p.s. My signature has been like that for a while
I really like this idea. It would allow you to more carefully balance the expansion because everybody would be starting off pretty much the same, as opposed to now when people have different levels and equipment etc.
How do you get more mark/recall places? My envi magic is at level 74 and i still only have 3 slots? Pls help.
To get more Mark/Recall slots you need higher INT, I think. Drink a potion before you cast Mark and any extra slots you save a location into will be permanent. I love the idea of a new Level 1 campaign. One of my favorite aspects of The Quest is how the expansions are so statistically insane for an oldschool RPG setting (3000 AC and 50k damage ), but it would be nice to not have to deal with the massive numbers and enchantment metagaming for a while. Just finished Asteroids as well. Might have found a new bug! When you take the final teleport home, you are then 100% never able to enter Mage Haven again. This is because taking the teleport leaves the door set to 'open', which causes the tile at the Mage Haven entrance to not let you pass, and you can't get access to the door switch to close it. Thanks for the 7.1 also! I was having problems with the Ketchup tree as well, though I did get the snowballs on my own. Fixing the Droid is still seemingly impossible, though. Dwarf Tossing is too, unless I'm missing something. I tossed all the dwarves, and my score is still 0, and now there's no more dvarves left . Also, I think the lag in the game engine is getting noticeably bad with this version. It seems to get a little worse with every expansion. It's still not a gamebreaker, but starting a new campaign would fix this . All minor issues though. You guys are the Best RPG in the App Store by far, keep it up!
I get the feeling that I am vastly underpowered. I am level 12 and am at Mithria. Is that natural? It was a struggle to get there from phryn and I can't beat those damn witches. Should I go kick some weak shaman/orc butt to grind or what? I'm taking a break until I clear my head. Also, can someone explain what "AC" is?!
Level 12 in my view is pretty much scraping through, as you've done. I would recommend a few levels higher to get by easier, but don't let that stop you from trying I guess. The witches can be tough, so you need a lot of status potions, especially cure/resist poisons or spells. You should train up south from Vastares against those Dwarfs/Shamans, maybe clear out some dungeons/caves/graveyards to get more exp. There's a big mountain cave there actually. I stands for Armour Class, according to the manual (I forget where I got it from). The total AC is therefore influenced by the sum AC quality of your defense items, plus Attribute modifiers. Higher AC obviously means better defense; less damage taken.
That seems normal; the game does end at ~ Lv. 14. The caster enemies are kinda overpowered, you need to get some resist magic potions to kill them. Best way is by mixing them yourself, homemade resist magic potions are usually way better than the store bought ones.
Low-level campaign sounds interesting. I personally hope for overhaul of combat, though. I loved The Quest and finished it completely, but I don't feel compelled to move on to expansions because the combat is so dull and well, there is a lot of it. If combat were to be improved to become tactical and interesting, I'd be there like a shot. Everything else is wonderful.
So wait, the level cap is 14 for the main game? As in once you get to level 14, any experience you gain will not go towards the next level? Also, I accidentally sold all of my potions and scrolls/wands which I thought useless. I DO HOWEVER have the 'Magic Immunity" spell but thaqt shiz costs 65 XP. I should probably go grind, then get money to buy restore mana potions as well as some training then. Thank god I discovered that "fast-forward" option.
Im pretty sure there is no level cap main game and that you can still get experience. I could be wrong though because i havent gotten to lvl 14 yet, but i have never heard of such a thing.
I am sure you can still get experience in the main game. : ) In fact I am positive of it. : ) There is no level cap anywhere but at the high levels response time of the game becomes a little slower. All those things in Asteroids will be fixed in the update. : ) We had to find out from you. The betatesters missed them. At my website, I was offering you to get items named after you in the next expansion for being so adept at finding those things. : ) Dwarf tossing is random. Just keep trying. Thanks for your loyalty. It means a lot. : )
Sorry about the level cap confusion. To clarify, I only meant that your character will likely be at ~Lv. 14 by the end of the original game. Wait, do I get to create an item then!? Also, there was one more strange thing that happened. After I finished the 'Find the Sprites' quest and left the Mayor's house, a bunch of flying doors appeared. They also disappeared when I went back into the Mayor's house and came outside again. I read about this on another site, but I think I remembered you didn't have any pictures of it? http://www.twitpic.com/1pbf1l http://www.twitpic.com/1pbg86 http://www.twitpic.com/1pbfio
Yeah you're right, there's no such cap. I'm on level 16. Those dragons in the Other Dimension are level 20, so it would seem reasonable to grow even further.
Allright question time: I have gotten to the end-game dungeon, where you have to defeat the evil then go back to the gatekeeper. However, I find I am not powerful enough being at level 14. So i tried to go find some dungeons and complete some quests. So after i poisoned the goblin leader, a witch took away my hammer of witches. When I went to fight her, i found that i was unable to do damage, except presumably the hammer. Is there any way to get the hammer back? I have explored every cranny of the dungeon and In havent seen it... Maybe I'm missing something?
The same thing happened to me. I don't think there's any way to undo it. There was a specific way to complete that quest but I forgot how you were supposed to do it.
Rage. Oh well, I have beaten some of the stuff in the dungeon and am level 15. All the quests i'm looking at I don't thinkI can complete though... Questions: 1. How do I steal the key from the goblin slave owners for the chick? Whenever I try I fall in the hole... 2. Rubor in jail. How do I free Rubor from jail? I know where the jail is but I can't find him. Its the quest where you have to find his grandson and after you do, his mother asks you to find Rubor... 3. How do you get past the Cyclops King in the Silver peak? My weapons dont do damage Help?
