  1. Greetings and welcome zogar85, let me assure you it's never too late to play a game like Sacred. Just give it some time and you'll see why old-school rocks! You see, Sacred doesn't have a straight forward DPS based damage system. Instead it breaks things down into a base damage (basic attack, left-click) and a special attack damage (Combat Arts/Spells, right click) and provide hundreds of ways to buff/multiply those. While the basic attack is important it's the special ones you want to learn more about as they have their own attack speed, regen time, quirks and synergies and can take your damage to astronomical values. For pure spell casting characters the basic left-click attack doesn't even matter. Which weapon/armor is better? Veteran players can choose just by looking but you might need to equip them to see the stat changes. Don't worry, it's only a part of the learning process. For starters, gears with more socket, better buffs (life-leech, crit, to all CA/spells, to all resistance) are better even if the damage/resistance numbers seem lower. Also, for weapons elemental damage (I.e. fire,poison) is more potent than physical - again, even if they are lower in number. Later you'd know which one is better suited to your need and play-style just by looking. Personally, Seraphim and Dwarf are the only toons I've never played with but I'm sure other, more experienced members have lots of pointers for you and some great builds can be find on the character guides/builds section. So, endure and enjoy

  2. Flix, you da man!! These blades are awesome - love 'em! Thanks you so very much! This is just about the only thing seraphim lacked, up to now. Man, she's kicking some butt! I* became a supporting member because of this. (Well, I was hemmin and hawing about it for a while now and these blades got me off my butt to do it. he, he

  4. So years ago I played on ps3 and decided to buy on pc, on ps3 when you held the button for a combat art like MC you would auto attack with the same button while it was on cooldown but that doesn't seem to work on pc or am I missing something? Please tell me there is some button I'am missing and am just been blind

  5. Flix, RBOL was one of my absolute favorite CA's from the original game... very dramatic, especially in the way that they would rise up from the ground with a huge whooshing and then remaining buzzing sound...unbelievable that you've resurrected them for Sacred 2!! gogo

  6. Yeah, it's a world of difference when you get to that point. Try using regen per hit with weapon-based CAs.

  9. You're right: tyr hadar is better than timperton for experience, but it's also very hard. Another way to find good items is killing dragons. they usually drops tons of interesting items.

  10. Tyr-Hadar is an excellent place for hunting no doubt but it's huge and can be tricky for new players. The woods around Timberton, as I said earlier is small enough for quick round-ups with good density of Orc-champs and less of a chance of being overwhelmed. Also it's readily available and has a portal nearby to boot. IIRC, you need to advance to a certain stage (siege of Mascarell, is it?) in the main quest to get access to Tyr-Hadar area. As for the rings, I put those on as well as infuse into equipment. As the OP mentioned, most of my toons are w/o trade and I really had a hard time acquiring decent jewelries until I came across the ghost-cave!

  12. Using weapons slot allows you to collect a weapon per dmg type: make sure to combine weapons with the right shields. If an enemy has fire dmg and is weak againist poison, use a fire shield and a poison sword.

  13. The attack animation of basic attacks and special moves depends on the type of weapon and the character you got, so it's impossible to tell the dps of a weapon. A daemon with a crossbow (which on paper is excellent) will fire bolt once every two seconds, even with max speed, while if she got claws (which is the worst weapon she can have on paper), she will reach an insane amount of attack speed and will double hit. Same for the serapina with long handled weapon, she will attack way quiker if she is riding a horse than without a horse! So you really have to know your character first if you want to go for the best xeapon. If you want to wear special weapons and reach the max attack speed easily you'll have to get a weapon specialisation, so there is also no real good reason to switch between more than one/two diferent types of weapons (exept if you want to get use of the buffs they give you, before casting a spell for exemple)... To compare weapon of the same type you can compare the base damage they got, that you can see between the level and minimum level, it's a good way to quickly compare weapons. Just know that it's better to have some of one damage type and nothing else rather than a lot of damage but split between physical/fire/poison etc... because of the way how works resistances! So make use your five weapons slot^^! I would also advise you to download Sacred Reborn mod. It's a whole rebalancing mod who will make the gameplay smoother and will reward you to search for the weakness of the ennemies (what the original game dont do at a certain point...). \o/

  15. Hello there Zogar, welcome to DarkMatters. If you want to know what is the damage of a weapon, you need first to know which is the best damage for your enemies: some enemies are weaker againist fire, others can be weaker againist poison etc. You need to choose a weapon which does the right damge for your enemies. Also, you can look at your character's menu, just under the skills and attributes list. You'll see the amount of damge you deal, and the amount of damage you take. For any build, check out the "guides and builds" section on this furom. Remember that the best ways to make a build are two: 1. upgrading the one in which your character is already good: for example, to raise the magic skills to a battle mage. 2. trying to balance the character by enhancing his worst skills: for example, increasing the magical abilities of a gladiator. Good luck !!!!

  16. It depends on the CA you're using, if it's a weapon-based CA most of the time you just need to keep right-click pressed the same way you'd keep left-click pressed for continuous attack. Then hover the mouse pointer over the different targets. But if the CA is spell-based then you need to click-release-click again for acquiring new targets.

  19. Nearest town for me is Dillenburg: William of Orange was born there. He was the leader of the dutch rebellion against the spain. Even the old picture from 1664 shows the today problems. The old town parts are too narrow and so the supermarkets are outside. And this is how the old town looked at morning between two rains. In summer it is full of tourists from the Netherlands.

  20. I just used the save editor to add all 6 so I could test all the modifications at once, it was also a convenient way to show all of them in a single screenshot. Standard rules would apply in gameplay: chose one from each pair, for a total of three modifications.

  21. It looks awesome indeed, but why six enhancements? I didn't even know that you could have more than the usual three.

  22. Nice work Flix!! I love the idea of standing in the middle of a pack with this on and just seeing all the life leech lines streaming into the character!

  23. Going from memory I can't remember getting trade + 1 all skills in silver. I believe its based on game difficulty more than levels - Gold will have higher + trade than silver even with the same trade level.

  24. The celestial taste of a Pizza (A true Neapolitan Pizza) is hard to beat, but I'm curious of that Zwiweelblootz because, looking at the picture, it looks very good!
