Is there any place we can get this,instead of buying this from the lady in Kentia? As you all know,this is required for creating new objects in the forge. Posts: 24 | Registered: Wednesday, March 17 2004 08:00 |

With high enough luck an artila in sea caves drops it. Posts: 626 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

Even with merely modest luck, by the end of the game you can pick up half a dozen of the things. That's actually good, because combining them with silver necklaces is the only way to turn a decent profit on forging items, as opposed to just selling the components. -------------------- We're not doing cool.

No no no... Turn them into wands!!! Discipline wands kick bootay. And, I might add, discipline wands do tons of damage to Creators and Spawners, as well as serviles and other creations. Not so hot against humans and other shapers though. Stick, gemstone, saltweed, and artilla eye. PAIN!!! -------------------- If I could make just one wish, I would want a tasty vlish. Geneforge IV.

Thats too bad. I have fallen to the habit of never buying anything from the shops after playing G1 and G2. Posts: 24 | Registered: Wednesday, March 17 2004 08:00 |

It seems to me that money is far too damn worthless in all the games. All the good equipment is either looted, found, given or stolen. Trainers only train so far. I always have 10.000GC or so with nothing to spend it on. This needs to be changed. -------------------- "..The seventh wave of Thrall stumbled and climbed over the slippery, piled dead and Mazzarin saw The Watcher with them and at last knew the number of his days."

Wands should be rechargeable. Some wands have very hard to find bits. Solves the gold problem. -------------------- If I could make just one wish, I would want a tasty vlish. Geneforge IV. Still no tasty vlish. Posts: 1104 | Registered: Tuesday, February 12 2002 08:00 |

Well I suppose it was intended for there to be enough gold supply to be able to afford both all the training in the game, as well as a hefty amount of expendable items like crystals wands and spores. -------------------- Warning: Posts may contain misspellinks and typo.s Posts: 409 | Registered: Sunday, March 31 2002 08:00 |

I agree on gold. Even just the mines in the demo. Crystals galore. I was ridiculously rich, with nothing in particular to spend it on. It seems that after the veritable poverty of G1 and G2, also with shopkeepers running out of gold, G3 has then gone completely overboard the other way. Shopkeepers no longer have finite gold supplies, and gold itself, is very very common. I prefer scrounging for gold, and taking multiple loot trips than having more gold than i know what to do with, personally =/ -------------------- A Sucaran Child is standing here.

The real spending comes at higher levels; creations, spells and abilities will really drain your gold. One moment you have 20,000 gold, and three purchases later it's down to 5,000. I like the way the gold works in GF3. With loot everywhere, and shopkeepers with unlimited funds, I could actually buy quality equipment and high-level creations.

Well indeed unless you buy massive numbers of spores and crystals and such you'll have more money than you have a use for on the first island, you then can use it all up on the second island with training in creations and in combat skills, so you should finish the demo broke. And I personally found shopkeepers running out of money very annoying so you'd keep having to haul your loot to a different shopkeeper when you exhausted one. -------------------- Warning: Posts may contain misspellinks and typo.s Posts: 409 | Registered: Sunday, March 31 2002 08:00 |

Meh, i suppose its just preference. I have always been an Exile/Avernum person, where you tend to have enough gold for everything. Then you'd have to scroung, save and explore extra dungeons to save enough for the hermit trainers which would train skills like Magery or Blademaster. I havent got to the main part of the game yet, but even the 2nd island was easy to buy through. I'm happy to be proven wrong though. -------------------- A Sucaran Child is standing here.

If looted properly, the first island alone can get you about 7k in gold. That's including selling off those bolts of cloth from the school. -------------------- If I could make just one wish, I would want a tasty vlish. Geneforge IV. Still no tasty vlish.

Near the end of the game, there's 50 K in alterations you can purchase on the Isle of Spears and the Monastery of Tears. That's always been enough to blow off the rest of my gold. -------------------- A few cats short of a kitten pot pie... Radioactive cats have 18 half-lives.

The main advantage of my last Guardian's obstinate purism was that I didn't have to worry about scrounging money to pay those 'trainers', who are really just foul, tempting fiends that want to forge your genes! So I could finally stop picking up every bolt of cloth and suit of quicksilver plate I found, and be free! On the other hand, I had to take several trips back and forth to the monastery island just to haul in all the stuff I needed for my assault on the Caves. I left the place with burnt-out Inferno Wands scattered like cigarette butts in an airport smoking area. -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty.

I always had enough gold because I only bought what I knew I needed. I've taken to only using Fire and Magic Shaping, so that saves on some unnecessary spending. I also only buy the spells I like to use, which is about half of them. I love canisters and the Drakon's blessings, so a purist ending is out of the question for me. I felt really rich until I got to the Isle of Spears and the Monastery. Yeah, you're rich in the beginning, but in the beginning everything is relatively inexpensive.

Playing as a shaper the first time through I found money to be an issue. It costs a lot of money to get, for example, Lady Anjil to train you in shaping skills and there wasn't that much money to be had. Playing as an agent the second time around I found that money was not an issue. Basically I had fewer things to spend my money on. But I had also learned what worked and what didn't in the game. When you go through the first time you are apt to try everything and this will bleed your cash. At any rate, in the latter game the basic unit of account is around 10,000 gold and you don't find that kind of cash lying around. Posts: 148 | Registered: Tuesday, December 7 2004 08:00 |

Dont you guys think that this topic had gone way off topic?? I dont minding spending gold to buy the artila eye,But it is just that you never have to buy items(only spells and creations) in G1 and G2. Posts: 24 | Registered: Wednesday, March 17 2004 08:00 |

Shaper society has a peculiar kind of flat tax. Everything anyone owns above 30K is instantly confiscated and used to fund that fine universal health care system that puts scissors, scalpels and bolts of cloth in every zone. -------------------- We're not doing cool.
