lol, donut, you fucking hoarder. XD
So I found the Mercenary's armor in Uduath in Ettinmere, and found the boots in a chest in the same location. So is the easiest way to procure the rest of the equipment to simply beat up enemies in Ettinmere until they give me what I want?
Kill Antelopes for early game. They drop a +5% Crit grip (if I recall; it's definitely +5% Crit, though) component pretty often. Even if they don't drop it all that often, it's not like killing them is all that hard.
Damn, that ability is half the reason I may end up with Longswords over Greatswords. I hate it
Though, that was without RA use so I'll wait until then before I make my final decision.Deified Data

Finally broke down last night and respecced to go full on Might. Dumped all my points into Blacksmithing and Sagecraft, too. Needless to say, I'm cranking out some pretty ridiculous weapons and gems. I'm only level 18, though. Can't even think of the ridiculous stuff I'll be able to craft once I get leveled up even more.

Gorhart. The very first town you come to. There's also one in Mel Senshir. Rathir. Adessa. Probably more that I've missed or forgot. I'm up to 110 bag slots.
Pretty sure it was there? Southeast of the town, same map portion I believe? I may have flubbed the name.

Wow I love it. Maybe you're using it wrong because it's incredibly effective for me, both damage-wise and CC. You can easily get multiple enemies in it too.Damn, that ability is half the reason I may end up with Longswords over Greatswords. I hate it

thanks.
It's
Gorhart, Ysa, Rathir, Adessa, and Mel Senshir
I didn't play with it for too long since I dumbed and overwrote my file shortly after getting it. It never felt like a better option than my normal dodge->swing setup, though, even with the pseduo-launcher property and area of effect. Like I said though, I didn't try it with Relentless Assault or really give it a long amount of time, just a single dungeon clear.

Chakrams are awesome especially once you can craft your own and activate the blink pop up move.
I'm rockin' a pure Mage build on hard and have absolutely NO issue with being able to only map 4 abilities.
Summon Faer Gorta(with health siphon), Meteor, Charged Ice, and Charged Lightning = profit.
The Sphere of Protection and the Heal magics aren't very useful/necessary for a pure mage build because I've found that specific build is best suited for ranged battle.
Thank you sir. Then yes I totally missed it, probably cause I didn't know about it when I hit the first town lol.

Who's asking each and every questgiver that "blue question mark" question just so it's not blue anymore, even though they always just repeat what they've already said and even though that info is already noted in the quest menu? Me, that's who. :/
8 hours in and I still can't decide which weapon I prefer. I like them all, damnit!
Can't stop playing... O_O

Are we talking the besieged village in Webwood? Maybe I'm flubbing names, here. Just asking because I thought I explored 100% of Webwood.
I'm currently trying to decide whether I should use mage robes with rogue gloves and boots for my Arcanist soon-to-be-Shadowcaster, or if I should stick with pure rogue armor with the occasional mage glove or boot. I really like the way some mage robes look paired with rogue armor - it really accentuates the magical assassin vibe I'm going for with my character.
Hah, me! I feel compelled to get every line of dialogue out of every NPC I meet. I know they're going to tell me the same thing they did before...but it'll be differently worded this time!

Finished the Main Quest at ~115hrs and I still have so much to do.
I found a purple chest armor called Conqueror's something, it has more armor and durability than my mastercrafted Prismere and has buffs for +20% health per hit, +15% chance to steal health per hit, and +80 health, or some ridiculous combination like that.
I definitely agree that we need more Stash room, I'm filled up and I've only completed 2 or 3 sets; I've also already sold all the weapons I don't use (daggers, scepters, faeblades, staves) and even a few of the cool-looking ones I did use but have lousy stats.
I want to have it all!

I could be wrong but I swear it's on the bottom right of the area. I got the gloves in the chest, maybe it was Didellion or whatever? It was late last night.

Question for folks ahead of me in level:
a) Do you ever get the ability to craft weapons/armor with a higher durability rating? I'm getting sick of making stuff with 24-26 durability and having to repair them all the time.

So I picked this up but haven't had a chance to play. Any suggestions for starting? I know some games can really fuck you out of the gate if you make a wrong turn. Does this work that way?

PC with a controller. Or without if you want access to all 9 hotkey abilities. I play on PS3. I haven't heard any major complaints from any platforms, really. One of the tidiest, smoothest running games I've played in a while.
Just don't get overwhelmed. You won't get fucked over by anything other than your own quavering indecision over where to go next, what quest to do, etc. I suggest stumbling around for a while, trying out a few different playstyles, and then maybe just restarting after you get a good grasp of the immediate area. Makes exploration a little less daunting.
Not at all. You can respec at will so have at it!

An NPC tells me he lost his hand in the war yet he still has both.

Gnomes in Adessa annoying me by always asking "what?" when I pass by. Fuck that place.

This is not the hardcore RPG you think it is. You think this is a rare Camembert but really it's a slice of Velveeta.
Edit: Not that it's a bad thing. I love me some Velveeta. I also really like the game. It's just super forgiving for whatever decisions you make.

So is there a general consensus which are the best faction questlines?

My favorite is The House of Valor, it's short but sweet. (Needs online pass.)
I'm currently in the middle of the Travelers, good so far. Warsworn was pretty good. I wasn't crazy about either of the Fae Houses.
Actually the NPC missing the hand is sitting at the other table in that tavern. I get the feeling the models got swapped by accident.
Got my first "stuck in a wall after a fateshift kill" bug on a Niskaru Tyrant last night. To add insult to injury, the game autosaved as soon as I got stuck. I quit playing for the night.

You can access the House of Valor from Alserund, Detyre. If you've been in this area before you can fast travel to Fellfire Pit and just go east from there. Below is a picture of the area, character market shows the entrance to the House of Valor.
That is correct, although you can also farm this set in Sidhe and Haxhi, I found all the pieces in those two locations.

What's the deal with Coilsbane Ruins? Does that stuff get explained in a later quest?

Awesome, thanks. In your experience, do rare items drops more often in dungeons, or out in the field? Does it matter?
H3rTz DoNuT

It's just luck mate, you have the same chances of getting rare items in the dungeons as in the fields. When I farm, I always clear the field first, then all the dungeons in that area. If nothing drops I move to next area and do the same then I go back to the house, sleep for 48 hours and so on.
If you want purples, loot everything. I've gotten some rare drops off some pretty ridiculous places.
Like, "Oh, a weapon rack. That's going to have shit as usual." *gets a bad ass set of daggers*
Or even a pile of rocks.
Detect hidden should be pretty much maxed out. Some rare armor/weapons are behind hidden doors later in the game, both in the open world and in dungeons, and you'll need detect hidden to find them.
If you haven't been upping detect hidden, then you've probably missed out on most of the best loot in the game.

Again, it's just luck, I didn't get much good stuff from the hidden doors and other hidden places so far, but then I get a awesome drop from a boggart
I even got two set pieces from my own mine in Detyre , but yeah, it's good to have a high detect hidden skill, at least till the point, where you can see hidden doors. It always give you more places to look for the stuff Again, it's just luck, I didn't get much good stuff from the hidden doors and other hidden places so far, but then I get a awesome drop from a boggart
Right, but if you loot everything then your chances of getting rare shit go way up
Also, being able to get into those secret areas gets you more loot. I even found one behind a wall out in the open that contained a gold piece of armor that was part of a set.
So, yeah. Detect hidden ftw.

The mine was a little disappointing to me. Cool idea in theory, but having mining carts full of armor and flowers to loot dampened my suspension of disbelief. Guess we are digging up ancient civilizations instead of mining for ore or even shards.
I would have rather gotten a supply of scaled blacksmithing components or shards instead of just gold from the foreman. Last thing I need at that level is MORE GOLD.

Steam Sale.
I think that's half the brilliance behind the Lockpicking tree. Skip the mini-game so you spent no time to be underwhelmed by the single Lockpick chest!
