I will be purchasing Sacred 2 Gold in the near future, but I want to start building a level 140 shopper Seraphim now. I am running Fallen Angel 2.43 I want to follow r00ster's guide http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/topic/16846-seraphim-shopper-for-ice-blood/ These are my first guesses at skill levels for 140: 140 Seraphim Tactics Lore 75 Exalted Warrior Focus 75 Revered Tech Focus 75 Concentration 75 Polearm Mastery 1 Armor Lore 75 Constitution 15 Warding Energy Lore 75 Enhanced Perception 5 Bargaining 140 Total 611 I want to put 140 in Bargaining to have a slim chance at hitting the 680 skill point level for the last break point. Am I barking up the wrong tree? I was thinking of leveling two Seraphim at the same time, the second as a boss killer and take to as high as I can til my last brain cell implodes. I don't know if I want to just drop bargaining from the second one and share gear, or go with a completely different build like BFG. Any advice would be appreciated by the Sacred Newb! I have shoppers up to 85 now, and as this is all single player, I have access to niob in multiplayer through editing the required levels in the text file, I am trying to behave and this is the only mod I have allowed myself to pretend I have access to lots of online buddies, before Sacred 3 edit ARGH... I loaded my 85 Dryad and my level 2 HE into the same multiplayer game yesterday to transfer some money for shopping ... and now I have 2 85 dryads and no 2 HE ... /edit

Here you go!

My post moved! It's like this place is haunted or something! I'll go back and look for it, Exploring platinum with my TG at level 67, just found a level 80 and a level 80 ! P.S. What's the best way to get them internet-ed so I can link them? Upload them directly ? Or do you have a recommended image hosting site? Ooh, and where are the screen shots hidden on the PC ?

Heh, playing in Altamark SE corner, found a cave with a gargoyle tagged 'Beware the Llama of Doom' any relation?

Good morning, I plan to buy Sacred 2 Gold Soon Can I build and play this character on Fallen Angel 2.43 and then use it when I install S2Gold?

Well, I am headed for the jungle, going to go to gold now ( in level 30 gear still, shopped a new blow gun at 65 ) I am level at 67 with a level 75 dragon animus ( gold head from level 51 boss dragon) I put 31 in each focus. EP and tactics to level .... but .... How good does the animus scale? I haven't been using it as at the moment it just follows me around as everything is usually dead before I get within looting range. I am thinking about taking bargaining as skill 8, max it around 85, park this gal as a shopper and trying something besides cab focus next Dryad I read somewhere that you should keep the animus at 2x your level? I guess that could make a really good speed bump if you are running 3 buffs. No luck getting a head from Gigantopod this time. I need to practice.

http://darkmatters.o...epmfbargaining/ Does anyone remember how this was obtained? Did someone crawl through the game files? If someone could point me in the right direction I would look into updating it for 2.43, and the expansion when I get it. Unless it was already done, then I wouldn't mind a pointer in that direction either

In the end, I enjoy shopping, but it is a pain in the butt! This is only my view at 30 though. my shopping suit was up to 132 before I found boots I could live with, ok bonuses, 1 silver socket, I was just shopping multiplayer island, and running to the merchent in the starting town in niobium. Anyone notice that at certain levels, there are certain items that are harder to get? I never did find a +experience greaves with a slot, found two with +5 all, and one gold slot though, one with defensive mods, one with offensive mods. And boots, meh, they were out to lunch. I took the level 2 suit out for a spin, then switched, what a difference! Including the fact that my blowpipe didn't work ... I had socketed a wonder 50% poison staff with +40% death blow, with two 10-10 damage/25.4% deathblow rings /facepalm

Well, good thing I am not playing hardcore mode Spitz A'lot made it to Octogolomus in Silver at level 31 with level 2 experience/damage/poison gear after her brief dirt nap, she decided it was time to upgrade! I could go grind and do quests, but I think upgrade is he better option. Spitz A'rgh is born to be my level 30 shopper, back to work!

Thanks for the reply! I have been doing a bit of reading on the voodoo heads as well, I'll have to learn the boss runs as well. I need a new code to get into online games, so I think purchasing gold version online might be the best route. I think I will get the SW to the Orc cave in Gold and farm there, should, if I read right, get me some cash and drops.

[edit] Just looked at the gold edition /foreheadslap next paycheck or so I will pick that up with digital download, that will let me get online! [/edit] Hi everyone, that still reads this forum :-) I have Sacred 2, 2.43, no expansion, no patches, I am a sad panda. All single player so far, my shrink-wrapped, store bought Sacred 2 was already activated on-line. quick derail: is it possible to buy the EU version and expansion and install them in the US? I know we did this with Sacred 1 ... So, after playing a SW through ~55 and finishing Silver campaign, it is time for switch. I have been doing quite a bit of reading about Dryads and EP and shopping. Chrona's Shopper I wonder how gear dependent this build is? I have no stash of set or unique items yet, well not many. My idea is to build shoppers as I go. use HE Level 2 to set-up, level to 15, shop my butt off, rinse, repeat at each 15 levels as necessary. In the end I will have a shopping network of bargainers at 15 level increments with shopping suits, and a set of Dryad gear for experience at each 15 levels too. ( using text file edit to gain access to niobium on a LAN game for shopping purposes ) Do you think a shopper every 15 levels is too much overkill? I know my SW made it to 50's still wearing some of the level 2 pieces I shopped and socketed for him, along with unique weapons I found along the way ( knew I shouldn't take sword lore in a DW build dang it!) At the same time, I want to play the main character, the same Dryad build with maxed EP, and no bargaining. What should I replace that skill with, I was thinking nature weaver lore, but for all my reading, I have only played Dryad to 15 so far, and with a +105% experience / poisen damage suit, following the main 2 quests, I only made it to the wall before it was time to turn around and head back to town. So if your answer is shut up and go play, you noob, I will understand, as nothing beats picking skills and ripping your hair out when you picked the wrong one and start over for gaining experience. Anyway, Have a nice weekend! Time to go shop some level 15 gears.
