I have been running the same build on Xbox 360. My first one before I deleted Sacred 2 from my hard drive was level 190. When I picked up my new copy a couple of months ago, I re-made him. The best thing about this all armor sockets are filled with xp so I have about 230%. Orc Caves are very easy and I also like running from Windswept Fortress to the Nameless. Astral Lord Lore Astral lord Focus Concentration Tactics lore Riding Enhanced Perception Armor Lore Duel Wield Malevolent Champion Focus Ancient Magic combat arts Astral: Shadow Veil : Creep (1a), Fade (2b) and Sinister Pact => Increase furtivity + Reduces detection with spells + Permanent effect (buff) Nether Allegiance : Sharp Blades (1b), Tower Shield (2b) and Elite Equipment (3b) => Damage + Armor x2 Skeletal Fortification : Rapid Fire (1a), Ice Shards (2b) and Scatter Shot (3a) => Firing rate + Ice Damage + another projectile Rallied Soul : Armament (1a), Vivification (2a) and Contagion (3a) => Armor + Soul duration + Infection Malevolent Champion: Augmenting Guidon : Ensign (1b), Healing (2a) and Fear (3a) => Expend Area of effect + Healing in the area of effect + Reduces attack of the opponents Reflective Emanation : Backslash (1b), Antimagic (2b) and Idol (3b) => Reflect ranged + Reflect spells/AdC + Area effect Belligerent Vault : Routine (1b), Shock (2b) and Commotion (3a) => Regeneration + Confused/slow down + Stun in the area.

You can just run into a group of trash monsters let them kill it. You must be riding and do not use any potions.

When you first cast Battle Extension (or Dedicated Blow), it leaves the passive effect for subsequent melee. If you use any other Combat Art, the passive effect disappears until you recast Battle Extension/Dedicated Blow. Deathly Spears is... 2 or 3 seconds exactly. One or the other. Check Vaclaf's builds. I think it's 3. Fiery Ember and Charged Grid... you're going to have to feel those out on your own, I think. There's a bit of a rhythm to them, if that makes sense. You gather a group of enemies, cast both, and you should be able to recast them by the time you have another mob gathered, or you should be able to alternate between Fiery Embers and Icy Evanescence. 1 apiece into Untouchable Force and T-Energy Shroud. Let your +all CAs level them up for you. ... also, check to see what Vaclaf says about managing T-Energy Shroud. There might be a point later on where it's safe to level it up. Probably not, though. Thats some great information, 3s for DS is what he says. I am glad to hear that because mine at this time is still level 1 with .08s so damage while finally come. 1 more question Combat Alert I have not modded it yet for a buff because I read some where that it is better not as a buff and to read tons of runes and cast it against the bosses is this true and why?

Farm the same places as on CPU minus Ice and Blood. White Griffion, Boar, Orc Cave, Dark Prince, etc.

Okay I am back again just cant put this game down for longer than 3 to 6 months, even with all of the computer made gear floating around. I have not really played the TG and Inquisitor. past getting to level 15. So I strolled on over to the guides read a few and picked following Tricky's guide TG is a boss killer. Questions: On console you have 4 hot keys on main screen then 4 more left trigger and 4 more right trigger, cna I place Battle Extension (passive on either the right or left trigger and still get the passive or does it have to be on the main? What are some good regen times on Deadly Spears, Fiery Ember, Charge Grid? How many runes should I dump into Untouchable Force and T- Energy Shroud?

I don't play online because I don't have a headset. I understand that MOST people get EXTREMELY frustrated with folks that don't have them, so until I get a piece, I'm offline. =) Mighty kind gesture though! Well you could make an account hop online and get this free stuff. I also make alot of games private online seems to make better drops

Do you play online? if so let me know I do have some low level gear I could give you. I have been running my dryad on bronze trying to get one of two final set pieces to drop so I can get the trophy for fashion police so I know I have several different pieces alot of extras.

Well TG is not the choice your looking for because if you read the guides most of them suggest you have either gear already or gear and niob bargin access. In later levels you could kill quickly. Another thing is you want to be hands on and a fast leveler. The only thing that comes to mind is the character you stated you have already played which is the VD Dryad. Which you could play solo and kill things pretty easy besides using VD. You could make a ice or fire elf but not a fast leveler. The only other suggestion I could think of that could be fast later on but also a bargin/EP character would be a BFG Seraphim. Since you already have a high level character you could prebuy alot of the BFG runes along with the few others needed. BFG gets boring but you could mow down anything like a machine gun. Do you mind telling us what makes you unhapy with the VD Dryad, Astral SW and the DW Queen of Blades? One is a really fast leveler with easy niob access for bargin skills, can kill bosses with ease, can solo at any time, the second one is a great orc cave runner (item finder) and the third is a straight up brawler.

Someone said they were broke and running out of ruins. As My main man Zeus said make sure you double back. Thanks for remembering me:) Lol. Also about runes people forget. If you have alot of money you should trade it straight up 1 for 1 $125k but I would not do anything less than 2 for 1 $25k. Also for those say the scorp's hit hard. Yes, the red ones do and that is because when you have AB running your fire resistance is lowered and thats what the red scorps hit you with Fire. I still say the Desert by far is the best for experience., if I were start a new VD Dryad once voodoo is modded I would run kolbolds until I have AB fully modded. Then make a free world game (bronze) enter the desert through the wp's under the ground there and get my insect head. Then head north until I find the Portal that is North and a little west of Khorum (sp?). Now it is on start my desert runs. I do not mess with the red scorps until I have golden glade touch up and running. Another big thing is eat as many AB runes as possible the sky is the limit. Dont forget to mod MA because when you stop to gather your experience. throw out your pet and let him do the killing for you. I havent been on PS3 until last night, been play the xbox version of this game since I picked one up cheap. But I am back on PS3 send me a message if anyone has any questions. Aaaah, so AB is ok to mod as high as possible. I figured I was missing out on something! These are good tips, thanks a ton! Well lets make this clear hopefully you chose rugged for your first mod in AB. But yes the sky is the limit with only one drawl back and that is your very weak to fire. Now to off set this you have a few choices. Make sure you have 3 fire relics equipted at all times. Also I cant remember the set name but three pieces of this armor also gives resistance to fire which is a must. 2nd MA if modded right you should always keep the pets level 2x higher than yours. To see the pets level open the combat art to where you can read it, you will see the pets level. Trust me if this is your very first character, you will need to spend some time shopping for rings/ammulets along with doing alot of boss runs to gather different set gear to help you. But all in all once your characters gets stronger, just keep reading those AB and MA runes you will have no problem doing the main quest, guardian runs, orc caves or what ever you want with little problems.

So how does Alchemy work on console? If it take it does just make my potions stonger or do you have to create potions? I have read about stronger potions in a few post now it sounds interesting because if you can have some very strong potions of experience. along with a nice amount of xp on you this would be very nasty gaining a boat load of levels doing vd in the desert.

Never really had a problem with you. Just did not see eye to eye. So yes I am willing to put the past aside and start over fresh and new.

Got a new xbox 360 was able to recover Gamer Tag but sold my HD after I had my 3rd RRoD. So started new looking for items Items I have for Trade: HE Celdrahils Doom level 45 Shadow Warrior Armantin's Helmet levels 15 and 60 Helmet of Silence level 35 Head Gear of Graves level 65 Executioners Mask level 35 Armantin's Armor level 30 x2 Lucretis' Prowess level 45 Blazing Shoulders level 20 Lucretis' Vision level 45 Denderans Maneuver level 15 Armantin's Belt levels 15, 30 and 45 Charon Greaves level 20 Armantin's Boots level 45 Lucretis' Ambling Paths level 60 Dryad Armor of Roots level 60 Meho's Chestguard level 20 Shoulders of the Forest level 35 Boots of the Vine Leaves level 30 Seraphim Endijians Chestplate level 30 Shoulders of Law level 25 Greves of Justice level 37 Legguards of Benevolence level 20 Sofia's Protection level 20 Wings of the Celestial level 30 Shields: Unyelding Wall level 25 Wall of Flames level 15 What I am looking for: The following HE set items between level 30 to 45 Velarias Garment (Armor) Velarias Mitts (Hands) Velarias Wristguards (arms) Adorments of the Ancestors: Belt of the Past Greaves of the Heirs Boots of Rememberance Shields: Stalworth Safeguard or Glacial Defender between the same levels as listed above Tinworas Curse level 30+ GT: zI Zeus Iz

Ok now I got a new xbox Thursday Night, recovered my gamer tag so here it is zI Zeus Iz also below my name. I had to start all over since I had sold my hard drive when I got my third RRoD so no gear and no high level characters. I did restart a HE she is now level 30. Check out the trade zone I am looking for some equipment and have some that I have for trade.

I think Enhanced Perception works fine. try maxing it at 75? This is not a pure Astral Build it would be more of a Hybrid if anything. With all of those offensive skills along with toughness he does not plan on being in the shadows with Shadow Veil he plans on fighting right along his minons which is not a problem but it is not a true Astral Build. If I am not mistaken a few of his skills once he used them he would become uncloaked and would have to fight anyway. "Reflective Emanation: You have everything right on this one except for the Gold Mod! 3rd-Riposte = Increases the damage reflected back at enemy." Your Minons do the work the idea of taking this skill in the first place is to protect you when your minons get hit with some nasty crit. spells and you still take the damage even if your in the shadows. So the reason for modding Idol because it extends the reflective effect to all party members. Therefore you get some protection from crit. spells. "Nether Allegiance: Commander = Summons Extra Spectral Soldier" if you made it to niob your skellies would be useless. I think need to take Malevolent Champion Focus to reduce the regen times and I would drop Astral Lore.

Well the questions to you would be what level are you? where are you at in the game? Are you on Bronze/Silver or Gold? Now onto Enhanced Perception and Bargining: If your Bargining is at least 2x your level the shops will display mostly 2 star items. Now the key here is time because you need to reset the shops. The best place to do this is Thyslim (sp?) because there is a underground entrance so all you have to do is go down then come back up and the rune master (rings/ammys) and the shop guy will reset what items they have in stock. This is where patience and time come into play. Keeping shopping/resetting untiol you find the items you want. Now on to Enhanced Perception works almost the same as Bargining except you run different mini bosses hoping they drop set items. Now if your low level 20+ the white griffin and fire boar on bronze are great to run because the highest set item they drop is level 20. Now when you beat them on campaign mode they 99% of the time drop your class set item, but once you have beaten them you can not respawn them in campaign. How to get around this is to make a free world game go kill them then save game and remake another, keep doing this until your either it gets boring or you got what you want. Last and final thing is while in free world when killing the mini bosses any character set item cab drop.

Hello, I am currently playing an Astral Build and mine looks nothing like yours. When I think of Astral I look at it as a Summoner Type build sorta like a Necromancer except you get to stay in the shadows which is a bonus. You have your minons do all of the dirty work and you control your army in battle. With your build it seems like a fighter build with Astral as a support skill. Death Warrior Skills, Sword Lore, Shield Lore, Tactics, Toughness these are not needed in a Astral Build unless your are picking a skill to unlock something else. How about something like this: Astral Lord Lore Astral Lord Focus Concentration Malevolent Champion Focus Armor Lore Hafted Weapons (best damage, works great with Spectral Hand) Ancient Magic Combat Reflexes Riding 5 points to unlock Enhanced Perception Enhanced Perception great way to find items I would change the following and whats not listed leave the same (NO Death Warrior Skills): Astral: Rallied Soul : Armament (1a), Vivification (2a) and Contagion (3a) => Armor + Soul duration + Infection. This works great and when you Souls convert others is great. Malevolent Champion: Augmenting Guidon : Ensign (1b), Healing (2a) and Fear (3a) => Expend Area of effect + Healing in the area of effect + Reduces attack of the opponents. What can I say fear works great. Belligerent Vault : Routine (1b), Shock (2b) and Commotion (3a) => Regeneration + Confused/slow down + Stun in the area. Well there are my two cents, I have made alot of the Astral Builds through experience/mistakes etc., I have learned alot.

Okay so you did not remake your character, I can see. It is a yes and no answer to you eating runes. Yes it will raise combat arts regen times but No because if you maxed concentration and have been placing pints into Stamina it will off set the regen problems. Since you did not mod your skellies for better equipment and damage. You are in a must to read runes in Nether Allegiance. How to convert runes is very easy. Go to a rune master, once in his screen you will see the runes from your inventory. Now you have the option to select the runes you want to trade for the runes you want for a price. You have four choices you can: Trade one rune and pay 125,000 gold Trade two runes and pay 25,000 gold Trade three runes and pay 5,000 gold Trade four runes and pay 500 gold Once you have selected how many runes you want to trade, you push the button that allows you to go to the next window to select the rune you want. You can select any rune for any character and what ever combat art you would like. You can do this over and over until either you run out of runes or run out of gold. If you are uber rich and have alot of dough to spend then I suggest 1 for 1, I know 125k is alot to spend but what are you going to do with the money any way because your character is not a shopper. If you only have a few millions then I would suggest the 2 runes for 1 for 25k. I would not advise doing anything lower than this at your level. Dont forget to boost up your RE.

correct but you cant use Reflect Emanuation until you have concentration maxed at 75

Astral Lore and Focus should be kept at your level at all times Mods points become available when you have a certain amount of skill points put into the lore or focus or both focus and lore combined in one aspect. At levels 3,5,9,14,22,31,42,55,70,87,106,126,149,173 and 199. Here is an example if you had 35 points into Astral lore and 35 points into Astral focus. You would have a total of 70 skill points placed into both therefore you would be rewarded a mod point to use in Astral to mod what ever you want. So to mod every combat art in Astral you would have to place 100 skill points into focus and 99 into lore. Remember skill points can only be maintained to your level so you would have to be level 100 to fully mod all Astral Combat Arts. Riding allows you to mod Enhance Perception (Allows you to find better items, sets, better quest rewards ect) It is up to you if you want to use them or not. If you are going to use Enhanced Perception remember you only need to put 5 points into riding to unlock Enhanced Perception. Dual Wield allows you to hold two weapons. Example you stated you have a sword with +64 all skills you would be able to hold 2 of them. If you are not going to use dual wield then dont put any points into tactics lore either because points into tactics lore unlocks dual wield. Vit or Stam preferred vit but you mix between both

I still dont understand if your a caster then no melee should be done by you correct? so whats the problem? You indicate AM works with lances or any other castable spell. The damage in these builds are based on spells and your MA assisting with what ever you cant kill with lances/vines etc. So everything works fine as a caster build which is what a DW Staff Build is correct? But now if your using melee/caster then you should have the right weapon slotted to get the damage you want. No where in a DW caster build have I seen anyone indicate to use ravage impact.

No certain known monster drops the artamark star, it is random therefore I know when I played on 360 back when this game was first released it was one of the most sought after along with ice flashes. Okay I normally give out advice now am seeking advice. My Voodoo Dryad has reached level 80 in 20 hours stuck in Platinum. The reason for being stuck is the lack of gear besides a few pieces karrupted and Couze gave to me. I take alot of fire damage with Ancient Bark even with 3 relics of fire. I also made a few choices in modding wrong also I have not even placed one mod point into lances big big mistake. I know to run the mini bosses for gear but I have to rely on pet killing them but it takes to long because the pet wants to kill all of the other monster before the target mini boss. Therefore less chance of getting set gear. I did go the duel wield route but now see where the defense would fit better. So here is my proposed build: Nature Weaver Lore Cabalistic Voodoo Focus Nature Weaver Focus Enhanced Perception Bargaining Concentration Combat Reflexes Armor Lore Shield Lore Cabalistic Voodoo Lore or AM or Constitution or Something else? Also when modding Nature Combat Arts what do you normally mod after fully modding Ancient Bark?

Market Place are you talking about each town? I dont understand when you say put/remove items from where the merchants or are you talking about the chest in each town? Other players cant buy stuff from other players unless you trade gold for an item If you go into a game (on ps3) and press start, if you look in the bottom right corner is says press (square) for marketplace.... and when you do it comes up there are no items currently in the market place. If its your game it tells you that you have no items currently in the market place... Ive been playing a little over a month and just noticed it. (but then again my eye sight isnt great either) Oh I know what your talking about, it was for add on content that was only made for 360 which is a little demon which you can summon anywhere in the game he will show up carrying a chest which allows you to put items the chest you want to keep instead having to go to town. Since the makers went bankrupt this content was not added to ps3 just like the glitches were never fixed on either game.

Astral Lore and Focus keep at your level until you have modded every skill in Astral Concentration keep at level until you get it to 75 then stop (this allows for third buff RE just make sure you put enough points to MCF to mod RE) Enhanced Perception keep as close to your level These four skills should be maxed around level 80 or so and Enhanced Perception should be the fourth skill at maxed after that what ever you like. As far as skellies when you look at the combat art you will see it say skellie level keep that level 2x your characters level.

I say no chance of correcting. I use spectral hand but that is the last thing I mod which is fully modded around level 100. With 2 hard hitting skellies and rally souls fully modded they infect other monsters and convert them. Dont forget to throw out the combo of Augmenting Guidon and Skeletal Fortification no mobs stand a chance. So I barley have to use Spectral Hand except when fighting bosses. Remember you are the General of your Army
