Up to the Rushlight Tournament invitation now in Chapter 5 with a playtime of >70 hours (not sure how much of that is loading times though), at 14th level with Kingdom ranks of 7, 6, 6, 10, 9, 5, 6, 8, 6, 4.<\/p>\n
Chapter 3 turned out to be nowhere near as bullshit as Chapter 2, with most of the enemies being much weaker than the enhanced owlbears. There are still a few unfair encounters scattered about (such a zombie mage with infinite Enervation casts and a class of characters with permanent unavoidable stat-draining auras), but for the most part the chapter’s a breeze, with Chapter 4 being even easier once you get over the initial shock of having no time for kingdom development (development occurs at the end of the chapter instead).<\/p>\n

\n– Try to focus on Economy first to increase your income; note that after 40 rank-ups a project will appear to cut upgrade times in half.
\n— The really game-changing projects start appearing at Kingdom ranks 6+.
\n– Do not pick the ‘neutral’ adviser in the beginning, else you’ll eventually get hit by a nasty debuff.
\n– When a dwarf pops up demanding recompense for his ancestors’ expenses, give him the money. His request is worded badly and he’s one of the 10 artisans.
\n— That said, the artisan quests currently seem to be broken (they still give you expensive gifts though).
\n– Save an Emerald, an Emerald Necklace, the 3 “On Transmutation” books, and the Roc Egg; they’re needed for sidequests.
\n– Make sure to explore the Dire Narlmarches sometime after Armag’s Tomb; the main quest won’t send you there.
\n– Armor class is kind of meaningless with all the attack bonus bloat (reminds me of the first NWN<\/a>). You’re better off with damage reduction and miss chance.
\n– The Shambling Mound in the Elk-Portal Abandoned Keep area can only be killed by negative energy for some reason.
\n– The Bridge-area Linnorm and Owlbear Treant in the Everblooming Flower area on the other hand have to be killed with cold iron.
\n– Make sure to bring the Second Execution battleaxe with you when you set off on the Varnhold Vanishing quest.
\n– You can find\/get some pretty cool daggers and kukri, a nice Necrotic fauchard, a sai that causes bleeding, a club that casts Vampiric Touch on crit, a Dex-damaging sickle, and a mage-enhancing scythe.
\n— The other weapons so far aren’t as exciting and\/or have annoying drawbacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
