Can't seem to find the menu that allows me to use my available skill points. (E2) [ Sunday, October 22, 2006 23:42: Message edited by: How ] -------------------- How786 Soya-Kaas cheeses have dairy in them! Posts: 50 | Registered: Tuesday, October 17 2006 07:00 |

There's someone in Formello who can identify items. Unfortunately, Dikiyoba can't remember his name. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

You need a trainer to increase your skills. There's one in Fort Draco who, for a small fee, does offer that service to you. I've forgotten how E2 handles the procedure. If it is the same as in E1, ask 'train' and a menue pops up that lets you choose the character you want to buy the training for. Alternatively you can just click on 'buy' in the dialogue window. Not every town offers training, just as not every town has a sage who identifies your stuff, or a fletcher to get new arrows, or an alchemist to stock up on potions. edit: seems you found out on your own while I got me a coffee, but I let the post stand as it is :) [ Monday, October 23, 2006 00:00: Message edited by: ef ] -------------------- Polaris Rache's A3 Site reformatted 2/3 done Rache's A3 Site, original version Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00 |

Some skills are more expensive than others. In fact, some are free in terms of cash (Luck). The cost becomes much less onerous later. —Alorael, who considers trainers yet another reason to talk to everyone in every town exhaustively. You never know when you might need a little bit more aptitude. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

How, when Alorael asked you to edit your posts, he didn't mean that you'd have to delete previous content and edit in new content all the time. He was just asking you not to doublepost. There are very young members on this board who'd probably triple- and quadruplepost without thinking much about it, if the mods didn't insist on editing.

It's better not to remove any old post material entirely just so the thread doesn't stop making sense. As it is there's an answer to question that doesn't exist anymore. —Alorael, who also views entirely empty posts as an opportunity. When life hands you a blank slate (metaphorically) and the power to edit it (literally) that just may be a sign. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

quote:Some shops will only buy certain items (an armor merchant that will only buy armor, etc.), and junk dealers will usually give you cash for just about anything. Also, as I said before, I'm not above theft to get something valuable to sell; when I'm strapped for cash, it will sprout legs if there's nobody watching it. Even if something is worth only 1 gold, I'll sell it. If something you pick up is truly worthless, it's normally a good idea to just go and dump it somewhere where you know it'll disappear, so you don't pick it up again. And if you're truly in dire straits for money, there's always the character editor... -------------------- Either I'm crazy, or everybody else is nuts.

Some shops will only sell and not buy, some only buy the kind of stuff they sell (if they sell weapons, they'll buy weapons from you, but not armour), some buy all the stuff you have. There should be two shops keepers close to the trainer in Fort Draco who'll buy weapons and armour from you, for everything else you'll have to wait until you reach Formello. edit: The Mystic was faster [ Tuesday, October 24, 2006 12:36: Message edited by: ef ] -------------------- Polaris Rache's A3 Site reformatted 2/3 done Rache's A3 Site, original version Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00 |

Also, you can only sell items that have been identified. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

quote:Thanks EF. I've been there but they don't seem to want much of the basic weapons/armor that I've found and would like to sell. At least, no value shows up next to those items when I click on SELL. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

Are you sure you've identified them? Yes, you have to identify things as boring as ordinary arms and armor if you don't have much Item Lore. —Alorael, who hopes you don't mind losing a few gold on every identification before making any profit whatsoever.

quote:I believe that is the problem. I'd given several of my party of 6, 1 level of Item Lore but I guess not enuf. How many must have it for me to ID these simple items? Also, I don't remember seeing anyone in Draco who can ID things. SIGH A bit frustrated......... Thanks for your help, tho. -------------------- How786 Soya-Kaas cheeses have dairy in them!

Item Lore isn't very reliable; I never bother to get any. You're better off finding a sage to identify your items for you; most towns have one. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

quote:That's his problem. Fort Draco hasn't. You'll get your things identified in Formello later on. Well, a low level party is a low level party. Not every one needs the best of weapons and armour right away. There is a lot of stuff you can do just wearing leather armour and wielding a bronze sword. If your pole fighter feels stuck with his stone tipped spear, he'll have to wait and learn to make the best use of it. You don't need that much money right away. Collect the coins your enemies drop; buy little, you'll find most of the things you'll need; train a little, if you can afford it. Everything else comes with time. edit: remember to bless and hasten at least one of your fighters, have one mage know 'fireball', and your priest cast 'wound'. That helps.

Thanks for the continued useful advice guys! I don't mean to be such a noob about these matters. I've just really been puzzled.

quote:I was? That's weird, because I'm not known for speed. quote:Thanks for the reminder; I forgot all about that! I haven't played the Exile/Avernum series games for a while, and being kind of the "old man" around here (at least in terms of age--check my profile to see what I mean), sometimes my brain doesn't work right. I also have a VERY old-school RPG that I went back to for a while, where you don't necessarily need stuff identified to sell it. quote:No problem, we've all been there. Unlike you, I didn't know about this forum at the time, and had to learn everything on my own. I'm just glad I got the hint books when I registered, or I'd still be somewhat lost. -------------------- Either I'm crazy, or everybody else is nuts.
