Scrappy McSlap

Welcome to the forum, Onion! I'm hoping we see a resurgence of forum members with the recent BC release on Xbox... There's years worth of great content and community here too! 😊

We all got our wish. And boy oh boy, am I happy!! It's good to be back!

I can't believe I just googled Sacred 2 forum + my user name and found... Darkmatters.org!! Man. It's been like over a decade since I first joined this forum, I'm shocked to see it's still here and there are still member!! Amazing! Also. Thanks to Microsoft for releasing Scared 2 as a backwards compatible title. Haven't snap purchased a game that fast in a while! 😊😊 How's everyone doing?! Anyone else starting a new character at level 1? I can't wait to get into this game again...

Thanks for the feedback folks! I took AM because I'm determined to keep Tesya relevant throughout my playthrough haha. Guess I'll see how effective that is as I go... Con at 18 it is!

Started over, high elf dual element build... Made it to the Orc cave, level 16... Died 2 times there so far, totally worth it though. Love that cave... Question for the gurus: at what point do you typically take Constitution? I've been putting all of my levels into Vitality so far, sitting at just over 600 HP. I've got Pyro and Delphic lore, Ancient Magic, Armor, and Bargaining so far... Trying to decide between EP or Con for my level 18 skill slot. Maybe I should make this a new topic... Thoughts?

So! I recently decided to step back into the wonderful world of Ancaria... Get my hack and slash on... Loaded up my most recent character on my 360, Seraphim seems to be the class of choice for me... Game is loading. Xbox 360 freezes. Huh. Okay, fine... Guess I'll go back to Skyrim for a bit then; I hear there's a Dragon priest on an island that needs slaying... Come back to Ancaria today. Oh what's that? I have no characters? Um. That can't be right. Exit the game, check my harddrive... Every. Single. Character. Deleted. Are you kidding me?! That's hundreds of hours of builds and grinding and testing and dozens upon dozens of awesome items just.... Gone. So incredibly bummed!! Not even sure if I should bother restarting... What does a person do:) Back up their saves to another drive every now and then? Devastated. :-(

Thanks for the links gogo! Really useful info there. Scott: Yeah, the lack of EP is a serious bummer... Takes a lot of the fun out of it for me! Boo!

Just a quick question for all the high level inquisitor players out there: Has anyone tried leveling Eruptive Desecration with the Greed skill and pumped it to a decent % to try and consistently generate more item drops? I don't have a high level character to test this (and I'm on console)...? Curious... Seems like it could be fun! :-) Also, does anyone know if the Soul Reaver buff would work with Desecration, in a combo? I think the Desecration should go off second, so you still get the benefit of the souls + the chance for item drops as well?

Not going to read through all of the posts here to see if it was already mentioned... But when I do Orc Cave runs, I set my loot preferences to 3 star items only (in game options). This severely cuts down on inventory clutter while ensuring I don't miss anything important... Saves a ton of time micromanaging the inventory.

Wouldn't having a 0 regen time be pointless though, seeming as your execution speed would still be at x amount (the time it takes for the CA casting animation to complete)...? Therefore, there would be no benefit to having a regen time of a number less than the time it takes for the animation to take place...?

I guess I was looking at the wrong stuff in the wiki? Heh. Sorry about that. Thanks for clarifying the info, I appreciate it. So in the case of a multi-aspect caster build, it seems like mastering concentration would be a very good thing since it applies the regen decrease to all aspects, yes?

These are questions that just aren't clearly answered in the wiki... 1. Can someone please explain how Stamina works...? Like right now, I'm looking at my high elf with a stamina of 37 and it says Average Combat Art Regen Time 138.7%. And when I put more points into it the number goes up... I really don't get this attribute! 2. . I don't actually have any items of this type yet, but is Chance to Halve Regenration Time triggered via attacking with a weapon or does it just happen automatically when you use a combat art? 3. What exactly does "Spell Intensity" mean and what quantitative effect does this have on combat arts? 4. Seeming as there's no table for either in the wiki (that I've found anyway) can someone tell me what the regen bonuses are at mastery for the High Elf's Focus skills and as well for the Concentration skill? Thanks! I'm planning a new build and am looking to try some new ideas. :-)

I'm really confused about what is and isn't classified as a legendary on consoles... 3 star items? 4 star items only...?

Man I love the community here! :-)

So... If I'm reading that right, Bargaining becomes increasingly worse as you level up...?! Isn't that counter intuitive to how most skills should work? You would need to invest hundreds of points in order for it to stay useful!

Would anybody be able to shed some light on what exactly "better quest rewards" entails? Please excuse me if this question has been answered, I'm accessing the site via my phone and it's a pain in the arse to dig through pages of search results. :-)

Yes, so far I have been playing this as a mellee character with low level exalted warrior Combat Arts modded via Tactics Lore, and Rev Tech Combat Arts as backup. Pretty effective so far when using regen per hit items, but I'm beginning to wonder about damage output vs regen times at higher difficulty levels. As per the suggestions here, I might have to look at taking a focus skill just to allow me to eat more runes without too much of a penalty to regen times... That's what I like about this game: so many character customization options. :-)

Hi Lujate. I didn't have a specific build in mind, so much as I want something that can go the distance solo all the way up to Niob... So lots of defensive skill choices. Yeah, I'm using Divine Protection as you mentioned... It's really good (too good?). Anybody want to tell me what the difference is between %LL and items with +X points of LL?

Wound up taking Combat Reflexes as my level 25 skill choice. With the +Skill stuff, having the extra evade for crit hits is too good to pass up for another 10 levels! Gives me more time to make up my mind on a weapon choice as well... Although I'd still be interested in opinions on the question of which choice people prefer and why... :-)

I'm playing on console, single player, hardcore rules... Just hit level 25. My skill choices so far are as follows: Rev Tech Lore: 14 points Tactics Lore: 5 points Enhanced Perception: 5 points Bargaining: 5 points Armor Lore: 5 points Constitution: 25 points 7 Skill Points remaining I currently have +11 to all skills I'm thinking I'll probably take Warding Energy, Combat Reflexes, and possibly Toughness as my remaining 3 skill choices. Therefore, I feel like this might be the right time to choose a weapon skill, I just can't make up my mind on what to go with. Dual Wield is nice as it gives you a ton of variety of weapons to choose from, allows for very fast attack rate and gives access to potentially 6 gold sockets (siiiick!)... Problem I have with it is it it doesn't unlock weapon modifiers... Which makes me feel like I'm "missing out" by not locking myself into a specific weapon type. Pole Arms are awesome when using weapons with +chance to hit multiple opponents, as well as anything with a decent amount of life leech... It feels REALLY good to smoke a bunch of monsters with one swing, and there are some pretty fine pole arms out there. Also, it's worth noting that I plan to use my class mount as well... Not sure if that makes a difference at all for a weapon class like pole arms though? So that's my dilemma. Discuss! :-)

Just lost my shadow warrior in here... Been a while since I've done this cave, forgot how tough those orcs are! Still, was still low level... Only about 11 hours in. Time to start again! :-)

Haha! I almost held on to the peanuts for just that reason! Decided to give em away though... no point in cramming stuff into my body that it doesn't like. I've heard some pretty crazy stuff about MSG but never bothered to really look into it. Seems safest to just leave it alone IMO. Call that ignorance, maybe?

I picked this up on sale for 99 cents... I've always been a fan of this genre of games, and having it in my pocket is awesome haha... it's great stuff!

MSG absolutely knocks me out cold... it's like the craziest sleeping drug to me. It's funny what foods have MSG in them too... I bought Planter's roasted peanuts the other day at work, and ate two handfuls of them... half an hour later I could barely keep my eyes open... check the ingredients, sure enough, MSG.... booooo haha.

So here's the story: I've recently taken up playing the Facebook game "Kingdoms of Camelot". Pretty basic stuff, O Game style gameplay and all that, full alliance and domain support blah blah blah... Long story short, the Alliance I just joined have been gearing up for a war, sending somewhere in the neighborhood of half a million troops to one of the members that we know was going to be attacked... an hour later, the battle is over and we completely smoked the 60k of troops that were sent to attack. So to celebrate, since everyone's in a good mood, they decide to ..... bust out some rap?! Check it:  Ridiculous! I love it! HA! It's stuff like this that keeps me glued to games... all about the community! For anybody that's interested in the game, I play on the domain Arondight148, with the Alliance "The Tribe". My username is BDG. Feel free to add me or message me or whatever if you already play it. Just wanted to share... :-)
