Hi everyone, avid Titan Quest player here, played a bit of both Sacred games back when they came out.
I'm trying to get back into Sacred 2 (Dragon Mage is calling me, I simply can't resist anymore ahah) but having to start from scratch, kinda want to start with the right foot, as there're a couple of things I'm not sure about/didn't fully understand and was wondering if some experienced player could help me out:
1. So from what I could find around, it looks like having shoppers and a blacksmith is a must, so can I start right off as a new player without them or should I first go level all my shoppers? And if that's the case, then how should I go about them, through normal questing, farming, or is there a mroe efficient way to level in general?
2. So I remember, back when I used to play, that there was a special "survival bonus" for every character, in the sense that the more I survive, the stronger I'm and the more rare items I will find. Is that still the case with the community patch and the addOn? What penalties should I expect from dying (no hardcore)?
That's all for now, more questions might come up later hehe. Thanks and happy gaming.
