    For example I wish to add some Lorefriendly Uniques to the game. Since the Dwarf and the Demon missing them.

    Sacred ReBorn HD — Biggest Balance Mod for Sacred - 4.0 Update Available!!

    Hello there @Starling @MetaL , one question, is there a way to use this mod's WIDESCREEN and resolution features without the rebalance changes?

    I really like the mod but I want to make a playthrough of the game just for nostalgia pourposes and I would love to mantain the balance as I remembered.

    Is this posible at all? Thanks in advance.

    Hello kirth

    The question has been asked several times already by different users. I think if the widescreen option gets separated from the reborn mod, well, it is like chopping both legs off. The mod is not unbalanced if you ask me, it just takes a bit time to adapt to it. Valley of Tears is the ultimate test if your hero is viable or not.

    If you are interested in a playthrough, I can help you out with some gear if you want to.

    Yes it is indeed. Piano is my favorite instrument. My neighbour, despite his age, is still playing it now and then. Virtuous performance. I usually start working in the garden, as soon as the music starts so that I can listen secretly. Offered him and his wife booze a while ago, but that was not a good idea. The concerto was discontinued for that evening. :wink:

    I want to add Blood Reign to the list. Good Ninja anime from the late 80ies. Guess it was the time before things became weird. Despite Tentacles appear now and then, they do not do what Tentacles do nowadays in japanese animes. English dubbed version, but there is also a japanese dubbed version with us subtiltes on youtube.

    Download sound.pak and get him in folder \sacred gold\pak

    :gogo:all voices convey a different atmosphere in the game:gogo:

    Hello ALK

    I have got a question. I unzipped the sound.pak and tried to replace some sound files. Dropped the new files in the games .pak folder, but it does not work unfortunately. New sounds are not getting accepted, even if I use an original file and mute it for example. I assume the whole thing, (sound.pak) including the new sounds, needs to be zipped again and placed into the pak folder.

    Is there a possibility to re-zip everything and turn it into a pak format that gets recognized by the game?

    No I'm trying to make a melee axe berserker.  Except for Dragons, he does fine against all mobs, he does exceptionally well in fact.  It's just that the Dragons are super-charged to be completely ridiculous.  Some are ok and a little weaker, like D'Cay or the Ice Twins.  But that ones guarding the relics of Ancaria are just insane - Frostguard Palace dragon for example.  I even thought so when fighting it with my Daemon, who cut through most things like a hot knife through butter.

    I'm sure there's some power build for each character, but I don't want to be forced into some cheesy niche.  There's supposed to be multiple ways to build each character. Time and time again I try to make a melee character in Sacred and I always end up having to use spells instead because Dragons just shred through you.

    So, I used Ufos Hero Editor to create a Cannon Dwarf level 40 quickly. Difficulty is Silver. Cannon Blast is only used as boss killer. I made a level 80 Cannon Blast combo. That would be 2 runes each level in theory. No problem and realistic. Desert Dragon goes down after two combos. No sets, uniques, or special gear were used. While I was fighting my way through the Goblin flats, I had a lot of fun with the Dwarf. Just as you. He is definitely the next on my list, as soon as I got enough of the Vampire.

    I want to give Dwarven Armor a chance + Entrench. Combined with a high level Hard Hit combo it will surely work, but I need to find, or buy some special weapons first that cut through the Dragons defense. As MetaL said, you have to know the Dragons soft spot.

    I agree that currently the amount of builds are a bit limited for a single character. I have difficulties to variate my Vampires since they depend on certain uniques. Rings, mostly. Currently I got two viable builds, the rest are either tiny variants, or not viable. But I believe as soon as sets get a rework and class related uniques too, the amount of possible builds will increase. Time and a lot of testing is necessary, who am I telling that, and it is of course a matter of motivation. Since I have cursed the game more than one time, I roughly understand how big reborn really is.

    EDIT

    Tried Cannon Dwarf vs Ice Dragon. No problem.

    this is not a problem, someone likes the original balance, someone likes everything redone like diablo 2 sigma xl mod, it’s your choice, but the speakers above spoke about balance problems, and this is only part

    Maybe, just another method is necessary. I turned all runes I have found into Combat Kick, learned them all and made a combo. Works very well. Runes can be farmed in vast numbers between Silver Creek and Porto Vallum. (The nameless settlement.) Since kill nr. 25 drops a rune guaranteed, you just have to make sure nr. 25 is a boss. Then you get up to 5 runes. A Combo Master is directly nearby and a trader too. One hour of gameplay should be adequate.

     I think that a certain knowledge of your hero is necessary. What are your heros soft spots and what are you good at? Of course I can try to enforce a certain gameplay vs powerful enemies at all costs, but it might end painful. IMHO Dragons are simply a test of your current build.

    I will try a Dwarf today. Silver difficulty, cannon combo level 30-50, widd sockets, critical jewelry. Lets see how it goes.

    ALK, dont you think you go in too hard? Played unmodified Sacred for quite a while until Thorium introduced Reborn. Since then I play it. Ok, the very early versions were a bit clunky, but it became better with each version. And the mod isnt finished yet. I always keep in mind that there is no source code and the team digs through assorted code. I believe in reborn. It will be pretty good when it is finished one day.

    The Vampire performs well against Dragons using Blood Bite and reanimated Wolf. Later, when you got your specialized weapons ready, you skip all that and go in with Hard Hit or Combat Kick. Melee vs Dragon adds some flavor. Speedy fingers are useful, though.

    PS Did you try criticals + widd + as-high-as-possible cannon blast combo? Back in the day I read that cannon blast does unresistable damage.

    I'm just messing around in 'vanilla' for a bit. Can I import a char into Reborn?

    Meet Lacrimosa. Took me about 5 mins to get back on a horse ;) Just doesn't feel right on foot. I still have old save games from LAN with set items and runes galore but for now I'll enjoy the feeling of being utterly helpless! I forgot undead don't die unless you use a potion of undeath or smack them for a stupid amount of damage.

     

     

    An import is not necessary. Just start the game with reborns own .exe and have fun. It is a bit rougher though, and many bugs have been fixed already. Arles Tgaws Net wont cause double damage anymore for example.

    Btw, meet Bel, on the way to Bravewall currently.

    I think the best "gold mystdale warhorse" was patched out in underworld, you could no longer buy a horse then have a saddled version instantly spawn to buy. I don't think I ever finished researching what the new best one was

    Well, yeah. I had something like that in mind. Too bad. Oh, btw do you give me permission to snatch some of your hero screenshots for my project? *(Night.Wolfe gave me her ok already :cool:)

    Levels at which you get new skills

    in Sacred General Discussion

    Posted

    level 50 is the last skill you get. You can use Ufos Hero Editor to change skills if something went wrong somehow. Trading is quite useful, but it is better to create a special trading character, a dwarf for example. He can pick the Trading skill very very early. After your trader bought the necessary gear, swap it in a MP session and give it to your main char.

    The skill itself lets you generate tons of money which can be useful if you work with the take-gold-instead-of-health modifier. Depending on the amount of points you have put into Trading, the merchants offer better gear, sometimes 1-3 yellow items. Rings and Amulets are your best bet. You cant buy uniques, or set items.

    There is a special mission that generates two traders that got new gear every time you talk to them. Braverock Castle, right in the middle of the market place. It works in Porto Vallum too, there is an abducted trader in a cave near the river. Just bring him home and talk to him. His counterpart is a few meters to the south.
