Nice work Cthulhu, unfortunately, no Inqu for me yet, I'm hoping to build one as soon as AScaron lets them in parties though. And... I'm trumpeting the horns for an exceptional piece of work by Errison the wiki as she has completely updated this page with wonderfulness ...look and smile! Sacred 2 Graphical User Interface Pure awesomeness gogo

Nice guide Epox. I love hybrids, and it looks like you've got another winner with this one. I've been stuck on dryads lately, and now I'm working with a TG Area of Effect (I hope )...but your build sounds compelling. Just being able to close in on and stuff and also being competent with ranged means no boredom. And...got any pix for us? gogo

That's cool, we're inside silver, me brad and mystic and stephane gogo

Yeah they're up and goin. You guys wanna come? Silver Server.... [D.a.r.k] Matters - Personal Pedigree of Pain Yeah I'm one of those moods gogo

It sounds like the servers are up. We're coming in both me and Brad, into Silver with low level toons yeeeeeeeee haw gogo

I don't think I"ve encountered that so far. So far every time I've increased Bargaining I can "perceive" that my shopping has improved. If there is a rollover it hasn't happened to me yet IMO. I hope gogo p.s. one of my buddies up in plat, Pablo has 460 bargaining and he's still finding good stuff ^^

I was trying to get into my chest in Silver to get my new TG up to spec...couldn't get into my chest anymore....anyone notice this now? gogo

Sorry, I missed on the post there Silver-D What I meant to say is...I was using the rule of three times level to keep bargaining at. Because I'm getting whites now breaking through with more than half of the times being offered as blues... This means my bargaining is not strong enough anymore. Viper007, the only way you "know" if you're doing well with bargaining or not, if you really want to get the absolute best from it is to just from the number of Yellows you are getting. if everything you see is mostly yellows with maybe one or two blues... you're okay. gogo

At that level yo'ure fine. Three times is enough. what I'm thinking is that there is diminishing now for yield. I've hit it...and I'm gonna have to start working at getting my armor up properly. I had gotten lazy about it for the last forty or fifty levels and was only working with the rings and ammies... I'm going to have to work harder to get better armor with sockets and build in mods to mod the bargaining. Ugh this game's hard gogo

I was telling Zinsho over the last few days over and over again, that the stuff I was seeing at the Traders was kind of crappy for the last few days. Toon level 120 in Plat with 411 Bargaining. Was Schot who just got back from holidays for 10 days who was over my shoulder and saw it before I even mentionned it. White items, being picked up. I looked, and then did a few runs back and forth... and then noticed that I was getting primarily blues with only about a third yellows...and even with whites getting through. Schot's response... you may need about five times now... If yer not sweating it... yer bargainer's not working. oh man... I feel like crying gogo

HOw does their percentage of reflect work. Does every turtle champ get a hundred percent? Or does it vary? I'm thinking it varies, because I always take these things out no sweat, until this last creepy one. I know what I'm going to do the next time I meet one gogo

Sweet. C'mon, Dobri...you can do it with the HE. Just take it easy and play defensively... I'd really love those rings gogo

No, thank god. But.... that red ring of death is creepy. And it frightened me, lol. I couldn't play for about twenty minutes after...until my heart came back down. And yeah, Put...they're mean as hell! Why doesn't anyone seem to understand? gogo

I have tons of Gold...Dobri, are you playing HC? If you get socketables, can you get some for me? Not really interested in getting armor with this mod...I want to have my same armor...just wanna switch to a speed slot like I did in Sacred 1 gogo

Ctulhu and Katran, your first posts were amazing reads...thank you! Well...what I'll say is this... WOW is a little too good at knowing what makes us tick, and what keeps us at the comp. It's probably because it's SO good at what it does that I don't play it. I mean think about it...when something gets so good in your life, something you call a hobby or a game...it becomes a kind of alternate reality... and it begins to compete with my real life. Job, forum, wiki, family... I'm not sure I would be good at managing this, specially as I get addicted to gaming so easily and quickly. I'll say that I love Sacred 2 and have been waiting for it so long because I can put it away and it just waits till I go back. I can level easily enough on my own, and don't necessarily need a huge group of peeps like in the raids in WOW. Let's call this balance. Because I perceive Sacred 2 as being such a balanced game, and it's easy for me to either lose myself in for hours and/or switch off, I love it. gogo

I can't believe it. Those dang snappers. I keep missing and missing, their shields...man, I hate their shields...they're like the hardest thing for my dryad to get a lock on...and this time...oh boy...it was like I just couldn't seem to hit him...then all of a sudden... va whoooooOOOMMM Red ring of death! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek Champion Snappers...what's with them...did it lag up on me and a whole bunch of reflected come back at me or something? If so, these guys are dangerous...snapper alert everyone... run while you can! gogo p.s. in HC Plat

Dawn, delighted to see this list...me and brad have been talking about you and Todd now all the time for the new kamikaze's. Ahh, that tax return...I've got mine coming too, and especially love this time of the year for it. The pricing you got is great. I love new egg, they have sweet prices and I've heard nothing but great things about their customer support which I'm a stickler for. Great news, and looking forward to hooking up again! gogo

Cool! Okay I'm on a mission. Hey Trust, if you see any more of those can you keep 'em Yeah I kinda like mounts...but lately I've been finding that nothing is getting close to me...and when I'm unmounted my Attack speed is so much faster. If I can trade out the mount's hp (which I dont really need since this toon doesn't do bosses, only mobs) while retaining the mobility...I'll actually come ahead with more damage, and not have to use experience rings at least until niob maybe. gogo

yer kidding really? is it a unique....got a pic? wow...if this is true, then it IS possible Trust, you made mah day! gogo

No problem with this post gordius. And welcome to DarkMatters. The idea of a planner is interesting. I know that a lot of peeps like to play their games this way, and it will definitely have utility if it is indeed at all possible. I've always thought that since there are so many different variables involved in almost every part of this game, even knowing the formulaes for any one solve would not be very easy to use for most peeps. I mean, lol, imagine a formulae comprised of six or seven functions and having a player have to put in all that work across a number of variables. A calculator though...now that would change everything. Rather than having to have a player look at a formulae and then to do it himself, if this could be done automatically, then for the first time ever in all of the history of Sacreddom we'd actually have a tool of this sort. I know that it's been tried since Sacred Original, but noone has so far managed to make one that was of any use, since the secret recipes were never cracked. Good luck, and keep us informed as to how it goes. Cheers! gogo

I'm not sure we can. I've actually seen an item (that my toon just picked up and which I will test with soon) that increases run speed. Forgot to check to see if it works on while mounted as well, but it says +27 % to run speed...I'll get back to you on this. I've been wondering why the game doesn't allow socketables with increase to run speeds, and I'm thinking now that it's because they have a skill that does this. While talking to some of the guys here we were thinking that if we could have a run speed slot like in Sacred, it would be very useful at high levels. We could then just forget the unique mount and stay on foot all the time (works well for a dryad) while using the run speed boost from a slot to help us whiz. HOwever, after a lot of shopping two days ago, I'm fairly certain there is no socketables for run speed, and that the reason the devs created the skill is to ensure value from using a mount at higher levels. gogo

Hi Daniel, and welcome to DarkMatters! Yes, this is an awesome community. I love saying that because it's true, and a friendlier bunch on the net you won't find. Ahh, and an HC player too... so you understand addiction? It's something I live with every day I'm glad you found us, and look forward to your post. We've got a good Intro section here with great topics that new members can post to while meeting the gang. I'll look for you on the HC servers, will be starting a new toon tonight between six to seven pm Montreal time, and maybe we'll be able to hook up. Cheers gogo

Silearth, this is great news, wonderful! I know how long you've waited to be able to play. You must have had a smile a mile long on your face when the beauty appeared in the mail. Love getting stuff in the mail...I'll always remember how delighted I was when Dell unloaded the comp a few years ago from UPC that my parents sent me. Looking forward to meeting up my friend, I'll be in Silver Servers tonight, hoping to meet up with some of our members here, and hoping even more to get a few more levels on the TG for Kami level twenty next week. Cheers! gogo

Hi Mystic, and great seeing your application! There's some great topics going in the Intro section of the forum which you can hit easily and get to know our members that way...great way of warming up to the gang. And as per the pms with you I'll be playing in Silver servers tonight tween six and seven pm so we can level up together and hang. We're going to forward this application internally, and will have a response for you back within a few days after we get the discussion/vote thread going regarding probation with Clan D.a.r.k Sacred Cheers! gogo

How were the HP for him calculated? This is the kill pic which I lucked out with: We had two max parties going at the time, right? So was the difficulty of the gryphon constantly being redetermined over and over again as the two parties were taking turns at hitting him? Did the Gryphon finally have final hp when the member of the party that took the hit on him finally kill him? What if two parties of two different average levels were taking shots at him at once... the Gryphon would spawn a highest permitted level right? Or... does anyone know what would happen here? gogo
