Has anyone tested Energy Preservation in GF4? I searched the forums but didn't see anything. It seems like a great idea in theory...if I understand it correctly it's supposed to reduce the energy costs of your spells by a certain percentage. I tried on the preservation suit I got from killing Nakel but I couldn't see any difference in energy or essence costs. Posts: 13 | Registered: Tuesday, July 2 2002 07:00 |

Yeesh -- I'm usually not one for swiping at newbies, but that was a horrible reply. In fact, I felt compelled to reply if only to state that yes, energy preservation exists, but at least in games past it has been a relatively weak effect, and in GF4 there have always been better equipment options than those offering a bit of energy preservation ... and hence I haven't even tested its (im)potence. -------------------- "Mongo only pawn in game of life" -- Mongo Posts: 75 | Registered: Monday, August 5 2002 07:00 |

Energy preservation is similar to magical efficeincy in Avernum 4. You can cast a spell and use less than the amount listed in the spell description. In practice there are better items that you would rather have equiped to help with something else. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Even if it works as well as it claims to, essence pods are abundant, and there is no shame in running like a scared little girl, so Energy Preservation is kind of useless. Posts: 37 | Registered: Tuesday, March 27 2007 07:00 |

If you could get 50+% energy preservation in the game, it might be worth it. Twice the number of aura of flames. Too bad that such a thing is impossible. -------------------- VIVE LA TAKERS! VIVE LA REBELLION! VIVE LA GHALDRING! Posts: 522 | Registered: Friday, November 15 2002 08:00 |

@wary correction not exactly a noob, just a stalker, read my sig thats why there's a 2 in my name. i havent came out until i lost my pw and gf4 came out Second, i thought he was talking about an item unrelated to the game.like in a trainer or a file full of new items. (Preservation suit? never heard of it.) E: feh i just saw that he was talking about essence, not energy. And, i've never saw a Preservation Suit in this game, is it a one time thing? And if it is an item then what does it do? I have heard of such a thing named Essence Preservation in GF3. -------------------- forgot mah old pass ;( Posts: 9 | Registered: Sunday, March 25 2007 07:00 |

quote:As the original poster mentioned, Nakel in Northern Fens drops it when killed. As might be gathered from the topic title, it gives a bonus to Energy Preservation. What exactly Energy Preservation does is the present topic of discussion; the original poster has observed no effect from it. (I presume it does slightly reduce energy costs for spellcasting, but it indubitably sucks.) -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!
