Are there secret passages? in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Friday, December 23 2005 01:35 Profile Homepage #27 The area behind it isn't completely empty; there's a pool of water that restores your spell energy. Admittedly, that's pretty much the least useful thing that could be there without it being completely worthless. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Member # 869	written Thursday, December 22 2005 22:29 Profile Homepage #27 quote: Originally written by Synergy: EDIT: Thurly, I don't think you can get NL in Formello, or am I missing something? Nah, I'm probably mistaken. I remembered there was a trainer somewhere in the early game who taught both Nature Lore and Arcane Lore, and assumed that it was the sage in Formello. Oh, and I remember there being exactly four graphics for both Nephilim and Sliths in BoA -- just the right amount for an all-nephil or all-slith party.

Trainer skill listing in Avernum 4

Yeah; I know he trains, but I don't remember him training Blademaster or Quick Strike, hence my question. By the way, who's the trainer in Fort Remote? I can't find him for the life of me. EDIT: Never mind, found him. [ Friday, December 23, 2005 00:39: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Am I correct in assuming that a lot of the skills listed as being trainable in Silvar can only be trained in after you've killed the shade?

Waiting on Magery is easy. I haven't wanted to try to get through the beginning with barely competent mages and priests to buy those skills in Cotra, but I suppose it's (barely) possible if you make the most of Natural Mage and Pure Spirit. Ah. See, I don't have any pure spellcasters in my party -- my priests are both archer/priests and my mage was a mage/thief, so I had so many other things to pour skill points into that I didn't even want to put skill points into Spellcraft until some time after Cotra. If you had a pure spellcaster, I can see how you might run out of other skills to usefully raise before then. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Item Question in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, December 22 2005 18:38 Profile Homepage #2 As far as I am aware, no such items exist. Since there are no secret passages in A4 either, it isn't really as necessary as it used to be. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, December 22 2005 17:57 Profile Homepage #20 quote: I have probably done this more than is practical, given the always high cost of trainers... does anyone have any more information about who teaches what where for how much? In general, expect to pay 2000 gold to train in a skill, give or take a thousand or so. Skills you can train in include Melee Weapons, Pole Weapons, Bows, Thrown Missiles, Sharpshooter, Spellcraft, Magery, Nature Lore, Arcane Lore, Quick Strike and maybe a couple of others I've forgotten. Of these, it's definitely feasible to wait on Spellcraft, Magery and Quick Strike, and maybe on Nature Lore and Arcane Lore too. (It's not so useful to do so with the lores, since the first two points cost so little anyway, so the cost/benefit ratio is less impressive.) You can train Nature Lore and Arcane Lore in Formello, if you're so inclined. For Spellcraft and Magery, wait until Cotra. (A word of warning -- don't buy any mage spells in Cotra until you've done the quest for the guy who teaches them. He'll give you a discount afterwards, and offer you training as well.) For Quick Strike, you'll be waiting a long time -- the trainer is in Almaria. quote: I am assuming, of course, that there is no 300gp/point Silverlocke cheating factory in this game... Nope. If you save up herbs throughout the whole game, you can get a large but finite number of skill potions made for you near the end. Or so I've heard; I'm west of Fort Remote now and still haven't found an alchemist who makes knowledge brews.

That's one heck of a batch of kittens. Either that, or somebody has forgotten all about role playing and has become utterly munchkin. Personally, I like nimble fingers. Free first aid and tool use. What's not to like? In practice, Nimble Fingers is good for about a +3 bonus to each. The First Aid bonus is small, and the Tool Use bonus... well, raising Tool Use is something you're mostly going to be doing early in the game, since level-15 traps start showing up as early as Formello and Unlock Doors takes over for doors later in the game. So you don't really get the full benefit of the Tool Use bonuses as your level increases. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!
