Flix 5,116 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Great job. How much have you finished with the dialogues, and how much is left? The Ship captain is one of the unsung heroes of Ancaria. I thought it was neat that the ports had little in-game descriptions, so I started to add them to the list. I also thought I could make a list of the Airship captains' locations in the expansion areas. There have been two very helpful resources in sorting through all the details and secrets of the Combat Arts: Sacred 2 Combat Art Modifications Revealed Sacred 2:Tokens I'm basically building on the great work of these intrepid explorers.

There is a valorosness about "ship captain" ... liked what it represents, travel, freedom and security for the voyage. Yes, as you say, an unsung hero lol, intrepid explorers...yes! There's some phomenal documentation that's been put up on Wiki and the forums, some great math, and the heart that comes along with it. Today's been a good, sunny day, and the morale is high... I was able to get a few more of these evil writeouts done. As long as I keep in my head that it's a minimum of three a day, I feel like my "contract" for the job is met...and everything I do on top of that is bonus. Got drawn into the ice and blood huge, long-drawn out quest. There's a kind of epicness to it, that that entire area transformed by this battle tween husband and wife... couldn't but giggle at the memory of that amazing movie War of the Roses, one of my favorites. And...today's offerings: Cleansed Blood; Buried Treasures; Bleeding Garema; Weird Client The History of the Battle; Attack from the Mist; Explanations; Down; :Final Destination II; Adventurers; Focused Magic; Down; gogo p.s. Thanks ysne for the morale! 1 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Regarding how many left, sorry Flix, just noted that... a couple hundred me thinks.. lol at three a day I calculated six months for this project to finish, but with some "bonus" thrown in, it may go faster. There's six hundred or so in the game, maybe I've done close to a hundred? gogo Link to comment
Ysne58 236 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I think there are more than 600, but I could be wrong. Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I learned something new about Ruinous Onslaught today. I had previously noticed it was like the Horse's Charge, in that it lasts as long you keep running. Considering all the powerful defensive mods it gives the player, I added it under Temporary Buffs on the Wiki, but Schot quickly moved it to the bottom of the page and added a note saying that while it was kind of like a buff, it doesn't last long enough to really function as one. "That's weird," I thought. One of us had to be wrong. But nope, we were both right! Did you ever notice this little bit of text from the Hellhound's official description? "When the Shadow Warrior rides the Hellhound, it is able to adopt some of the fighting skills of the Shadow Warrior very effectively. It will attack with bites and kicks, and ‘Ruinous Onslaught’ will become far more devastating from atop the Hellhound." On foot, Ruinous Onslaught only lasts about 5 seconds. However, mounted on the Hellhound, it has an UNLIMITED duration, so long as you keep up the charge. If you mod it right, you can have 60% damage mitigation, defensive bonus, and increased run speed, for an unlimited amount of time. You can't use it while attacking of course, because once you stop moving it turns off, but you can fire it back up again as soon as you need to move. Mounted, it's the ultimate defensive escape/exploration temporary buff! So I updated the aforementioned pages to reflect that. Pretty neat, huh? 1 Link to comment

An amazing find! to find a treasure, and something so dramatic as an unlimted power up, maybe I'll be so lucky in my quest dialogues these days. I'd always wondered about those mount descriptions. Had always wondered whey didn't they just do more "obvious " differences in CA execution or play, but everyone kept saying that there was bugs and unfinished coding involved. gogo Link to comment

Death Warrior Demonic Blow Scything Sweep Ruinous Onslaught Rousing Command Grim Resilience Malevolent Champion Frenzied Rampage Belligerent Vault Augmenting Guidon Killing Spree Reflective Emanation Astral Lord Spectral Hand Skeletal Fortification Rallied Souls Shadow Veil Nether Allegiance Unusual Effects of Tactics Lore: Demonic Blow - Increases "Life Leech" damage Grim Resilience - Increases the hitpoint bonus and the hitpoint regeneration from the "Rejuvenation" mod Frenzied Rampage - Increases the life leech damage of the "Vampire" modification Augmenting Guidon - Increases the hitpoint regeneration of the "Healing" modification Unusual Effects of Astral Lord Lore: Rallied Souls - Increases the minions' armor bonus from the "Armament" mod Shadow Veil - Increases the stealth value I suspect I will have even more to add to Tactics Lore when I get to the Dryad, Inquisitor, and TG.

gogoblender 3,070 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I love the uncovered effects In fact, all the attention to the wiki makes this game a prize for anyone looking for one of the greatest easter egg games out there, almost no other stand up can beat it as a value picki nice work flix! hahha, sorry about those strange links...I'm trying SO hard to make Chrome browser work for me, and the copy paste it just issued with those links form the Wiki turned out rather radioactive gogo Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I love seeing the wiki grow! There's been a whole lot of interest in the game lately this year, and great projects and work going up, Ysne, thanks for the cheer boost, everyone loves working with friends gogo Link to comment
Ysne58 236 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I'm still planning to get back to more wiki updating myself, as well as back into the game. I keep getting sidetracked. In the meantime, I'll gladly keep cheering everyone on. 1 Link to comment

Ysne58 236 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I took a look at some of the quests yesterday. I was having a hard time figuring out what's been done and what hasn't. This new dialogue ability will make it possible for me to do more with adding undocumented quests. Good work gogo. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Oh yeah! In fact ysne, the hardest part right now is actually typing out the words from the boxes into the actual page if you don't want to work with the code but just want to help with typing, you can just add the typed out lines to the sacredwiki page, and one day I or someone else can come along and add the box code and portrait pix it's ez enuff for me to copy paste what someone else has typed out in advance into the box code gogo Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 And here we got with just thirty minutes left on the clock tonight! :The Heart of the Unholy Crusade; The Attack of the Fortress :The Arch Mage's Demise; By the Skin of His Teeth; Demonic Magic; 2 Intercepted Scout; gogo Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I love those quests in the Human Realm, I guess because the medieval stuff reminds me of Sacred 1. I'm still planning to get back to more wiki updating myself, as well as back into the game. I keep getting sidetracked. In the meantime, I'll gladly keep cheering everyone on. Link to comment

It looks like Knuckles is using that dialogue box to good effect too. Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Inquisitor Combat Arts are done! I can't take much credit for how fleshed out many of these pages are, they were already like that thanks to previous workers who put in massive amounts of useful text on some of them. I filled in links and innate abilities and whatever else I could think of. I also added pictures to the galleries. I added pictures to a lot of the other character's CA galleries too. I think Mystix was taking pictures of his TV screen to get some of those older shots. I got side-tracked because when I was taking pics of my Inquisitor I inadvertantly got pics of other things like Life Leech and Magic DoT effects, so I ended up going on those pages and changing around a few things there too. Gruesome Inquisition Callous Execution Ruthless Mutilation Mortifying Pillory Frenetic Fervor Purifying Chastisement Astute Supremacy Levin Array Clustering Maelstrom Raving Thrust Zealous Doppelganger Reverse Polarity Nefarious Netherworld Dislodged Spirit Paralyzing Dread Inexorable Subjugation Eruptive Desecration Soul Reaver Unusual effects of the Lore skills were almost non-existent for the Inquisitor. The only thing notable was Life Leech, which I'm starting to think isn't unusual at all, since after all, it's a type of damage, and it's improved for every single CA that has it. But anyway here's the list: Tactics Lore: Ruthless Mutilation - increases Life Leech damage from the "Dolor" mod Callous Execution - increases Life Leech damage from the "Draw Life" mod Astute Supremacy Lore: Levin Array - increases life leech damage from "Steal Life" mod Nefarious Netherworld Lore: No unusual effects on any CA's Ninjaquisitor! Seriously, check out some of the pics for Ruthless Mutilation and Callous Execution, I never realized how cool he looked sometimes! 1 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I love it! U did a good job with elevating the INquisitor, hiis effects in action are still great to see. Was looking at all the edits goin up, the pages look good. And... our daily dose of quests are here to go as well with the dialogue boxes.. with just a few minutes before 12 here ! and Olms to Round it Off :I hope you're fine!
