Use the map in the link below to keep a diligent record of the employees that you have contacted along your way during the epic office quest. Simply save the map and copy it as needed, naming it for the character/level that you are currently playing. You should never have to forget one of them again. http://www.sacred-fr.com/images/sacred2/map/Ancaria_Map_Ascaron.jpg

This thread is intended as a place where a discussion may be hel regarding what rings and amulets each of us prefer. Of course so many are character specific, yet most are a great benefit for any character, depending upon the build that is chosen. It would be instructive, in my opinion, to see what items each of us value most and why. Some, like DOT, Damage Mitigation, & Chance to (wound, weaken, freeze, poison, burn - protection) may get confusing as to which are best and if they stack well or not. I haven't done the maths, yet, I don't think that "Chance to" could stack anywhere close to 100%, yet if it could would that not fully protect the toon? I'm curious to read the thoughts of they who have invested so much time and effort in playing and mastering Sacred 2 Fallen Angel.

Changing the line in gold font to a value of 2000 will result in two unique items dropped in the completion of a quest where only one item would have been given. local beValues = { NORMAL_STANDARD = 350, NORMAL_RUNE = 15, CHAMP_STANDARD = 700, CHAMP_RUNE = 45, BOSS_STANDARD = 1000, BOSS_RUNE = 600, EXTRAGOLD = 0, EXTRAPOTION = 0, EXTRARUNE = 0, Trader_Item = 2300, Trader_Many = 10000, Trader_SpecialOffer = 0, Well_Potion = 1000, QUEST_UNIQUE = 1000, SUBFAMDROP_LOWCHANCE = 10, SUBFAMDROP_HIGHCHANCE = 100,

Here are a couple of my funny/interesting screenshots, I hope that you all enjoy them. "Hm", my Sepaphim, Gwyneth remarks, "I wonder where this Bat'leth came from and who brought it here? "Another Bat'leth affixing the remains of this poor soul to the mausoleum wall, this quest just keeping getting stranger and stranger."

Below are the values in the balance file which address your query. I recently started toying with the integers myself, so adjust them at your own risk. You may try doubling the values with a base number greater than zero, to begin with. ChanceForAdditionalSlots = 450, ChanceForSlotToImprove = 200, ChanceIncForSlotImprovePerRareLevel = 50, ChanceToBecomeSlotItemForBlankItem = 0, ChanceToBecomeSlotItemForMagicItem = 0, ChanceToBecomeSlotItemForNormalItem = 250, ChanceToBecomeSlotItemForUniqueItem = 0,

A nice mixture of greens (top of plant above the root) is really tasty when mixed and served together, not to mention all of the great nutritional value, lack of effective carbs, and zero fat content. I am especially partial to an even blending of Mustard, Spinach, and Turnip greens. Like Wolfie said, just add some bacon (or ham/ham bone) and bake some cornbread, fix some blackeyed peas and you have a proper southern style meal. Bon appetit!

Arguably ending all debate, the answers are all spelled out here. I have personally follwed this build with remarkably impressive and devastating results. In the words of the Master himself:

One certainly cannot take a screen shot that would capture the moment, yet when my character goes to get the Scroll of Release, the Coroner is working on a corpse. Has anyone else noticed that the corpse seems to be the one talking? Maybe I had one to many of the Ancarian cuvee XX last time before I went questing. I was thinking of starting a thread about humorous or strange events while playing the game, but I didn't know where to post it. I like your pictures because they really tell a story. Thanks Flix for sharing such interesting moments.

Update, my tag-a-longs didn't join me whe I went to Gold. I'm up to level 81 and she's doing very well, following Loco's wicked "Piromante" build.

I'm happy to have stumbled upon this thread. I read through most of it very well, and seem to have my settings pretty well in order now. However, if there were a way to have an increased angle of tilt downward (looking down) with zoom out it might make navigating and fighting in enclosed areas easier, especially caves, where walls can get in the way. It would take a lot of effort to post a Wiki article outlining what each of the parameters that affect the camera are and what changes could be made to them as well as what they would look like with screen shots. Regardless, if there is a way to be adjust the optionsCustom text file so that one could look downward a bit more when zoomed out, it would be great to know how. If anyone could post a helpful reply it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Someone mentioned free drinks in my introduction forum. If it's not too much of a bother I'll have a double vodka, neat.

Thanks, Flix posted a link. Now I have two Soldiers when I start. When I stop paying attention, they eventually do become vulnerable and are killed off by other NPCs. However, when I begin again, there they are. If I get a third, I'll have quite the entourage.

He just stands in one place, only moving just as I'm out of range. He's invulnerable, but he finally left. I wonder if he'll come back, not that he was helpful, just standing there leering at me.

Thanks for the link, Flix. Yeah, the runemaster's son Zaman is common. What is so freaky about this is that the Soldier won't leave, not ever unless I switch to Bronze. I can backtrack by adding my files back from several levels before but after one or two game re-starts he's back, no matter which quests I select or region I go to.

This seems to be happening regularly and it even sounds a bit humorous. I'll start the game after an hour or more and when it loads the character I had been playing (my High Elf) she has a tag-along. I had just completed the chain quest in the desert with Skeik Yerbouty after having an entourage of soldiers. I left the game and came back to have one of the soldiers attached to me. (she is rather fetching... but seriously) I had saved the character/status files several levels ago so I can backtrack but I'm wondering if I should just do a clean re-load first. I'm wondering if I still need to use the revocation tool since I'm loading it back onto the same PC. I'm playing Vanilla Sacred 2 because the town in which I reside is too small to have any storefronts that would stock or even order Sacred 2 Gold Edition. I also could not find it online. Maybe if I wasn't so busy playing the game I would have searched a bit more thoroughly. I did a clean re-install and placed my character and save file back with the same results. Perhaps I should have deleted all remaining vestiges of Sacred 2 from my PC before starting over fresh. I can load the same character at a lower level but whenever she reaches level 63 and I start the game again there's the attached Soldier.

Thanks for your timely reply. Yes, I tried saving the game, changng areas, re-booting, and everything but changing difficulties. I'll try that. Also, I have had Zaman show up to watch the End Boss' battle. His daddy told me that boy was the adventurous sort. I'll try your other suggestion. If I do feel the need to do a clean re-install do I have to use the revocation tool If I am re-loading on the same PC?

Thanks for the advice, it makes more sense to me now.

Ah, well his post indicated more at level 45, but I could have misunderstood. I have only read three at level 52, but I still have fast regen time of the three CAs. I believe that Loco indicated that he stacked his armor with IS runes at Niob. Still I wonder what his limit was for IS runes used at that level.

I started my build over and she's already at level 50. I am keeping the regen time for CAs to well under 2 seconds. Plus All Skills, Stamina, etc., really help with doing so. It's still rather fuzzy at what level Loco added more runes to Incandescent Skin and just how many. AF seems to be more needy for runes than BT and IS; I only add runes when the regen time is under 1.3 seconds when mounted on the Wind Serpent and both buffs are active. I intend to play through the Niob level. Still, it would be good to know when to add more buff runes for Incandescent Skin, rather than the CAs. Loco's build model is quite the devastating toon, indeed.

Banshee, also, don't forget, less is more (to a point) when it comes to reading/using Combat Art & Buff Runes. The exception being the buff Grand Invigoration for the High Elf. There is a very well written plan for a superlatively successful High Elf build here: http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/topic/15510-locos-piromante-ice-blood There are also some particularly good builds here as well for the Seraphim: http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php/Sacred_2:Seraphim_Guides Additionally, your hubby may wish to peruse some of the remarkable builds for the Shadow Warrior below: http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php/Sacred_2:Shadow_Warrior_Guides

I'm going for a build like that now, but I have six runes memorized on each CA, Ancestral Fireball, Incendiary Shower, and Blazing Tempest. When you mentioned a "few" runes I hope that more than three is OK.

Yes, I know, my question was more of a shocked, rhetorical one, thanks for the link, it is a well thought out and detailed accounting of what Loco did and why.

This is totally wicked! How does his toon take all of those hitpoints without any noticable loss of health points?
