Any tips on quick ways to get the most achievements? I'm renting this and hoping to get some because a friend and I are having a bit of a competition. I have a level 10 Temple Guardian. I am thinking of abandonning him at level 15, but it's taking so long to level up to 15 that it might take forever to get to 35 with a 2nd character.
Any good High Elf builds?

360.
Only seems to happen in the desert thus far. When I get my 4 skellies, and then up to about 15 enemies via rousing command under my control, the entire 360 simply locks up.

This does not seem like a good game for quick achievements. Doesn't bother me at all, as I could care less, but they take a long time.
It's a loot game but I'm at Level 12, I think, and the loots aren't very interesting. My High Elf still looks like a skank no matter what I give her to wear and the lootwhoring just doesn't excite me that much. Maybe it's because magic users tend to be more skill-dependent as compared to non-magic users.
Have you ever played a MMORPG? Essentially, Sacred 2 follows the same blueprint.ElyrionX said:
You're not going to get phat lewts in the first several hours of the game. My SW looked like an asshole (complete with Ronald McDonald shoes) until the 30's, when interesting items finally began dropping.

I absolutely love my HE build. I can't give you all of the info, as I'm not in front of my 360, but I can give you a general idea of what I did.
Basically, I wanted a straight pyro build, so I am focusing on those combat arts. I got pyro focus and lore as early as possible, and I keep those maxed at my level.
One thing I wish I had done earlier is armor lore. I started it late and only have a few points in it, but it's very useful. Basically, you'll need it if you want to take more than a few hits. My HE is extremely fragile, and armor lore does help. In addition, as you start finding higher level armor pieces at higher levels, you'll be glad that you can equip them without large penalties.
From here, there are a lot of things you can do. Ancient magic will give you a decent boost in damage. At least one level in concentration is nice to allow you to have two buffs, which can help with regen times (the skill lowers regen times as well, but not drastically). Constitution will allow you to take a few more hits, but that's another that I never put many points into. I picked up enhanced perception to see if it helps with drop rates, and it does seem to. That said, I get a lot of crap and not a ton of really great stuff. I think that's pretty common, and I'm sure it'll change somewhat as I get to a higher level, so at this point I'm still glad that I took it.
Anyway, hopefully that helps somewhat. It's more a list of recommendations than a true build, but I've liked it so far other than the fact that I die easily.

Yes, be careful because they're expensive at first.Zzoram said:

Despite the warning, i bought a horse lol! 14k freaking expensive, but really cool lol!
By the way, i have a Shadow Warrior, how exactly do I use the Spectral Hand combat art? I'm not really figuring out, is it a one use spell, or a short-time buff like the Killing Spree?

You think 14k for your pony is expensive? I´m on my third tiger, the last one cost a cool 465k... :lol
My Sera hit lvl 40 - and I´m still dying in boss battles. Oh well.
Trade shop:
Have two nice set items on offer
- Dryad: Daerwain's Chest
- Inquisitor: Insignia of Deference
If you have some Sera set pieces in exchange, that´d be nice.

How the hell are random people joining my private games? F'n buggy-ass game (that I'm enjoying far too much). I've had my fill of people coming into my game and warping all over the place to start and finish quests alone. If you're gonna do that, just start your own offline game.
I don't see an ice/snowy region anywhere on the map at the wiki. That's a little disappointing, as I could use the change of scenery. Got a bit tired of looking at nothing but country road on the mainland. Booted up a Free game, took a trip out to Aerendyr, and basked in the glorious lushness of the jungle. I guess I'll go dick around Seraphim Island for a while.

May I ask why you exchanging runes 1:1? I have 3 chars (39 H Elf, 39 Inq and 34 Ser) and have sooo many runes sitting in the bank.
I was with 3 people, Octopus sucked me in did lightning and then smacked me and my mount dropped. Thankfully I didn't die... I got one shot killed with her in the machine area about 10 levels ago (stepped onto one of the Red stars the guys shoot like a moron thinking it was a friends Bonus ring.. Augmenting whatever from the SW... it wasn't
). That's her one death and I'm still whinning about it.LOL! Haven't done Bloodclaw yet. Have to check him out.

I have two enhancements to find better loot, but since the orc region runes became extremely rare for me. This plus the refocusing from Radiant Pillar to BFG/Archangels Wrath/Flaring Nova drained me pretty fast.
When it comes to bosses, I find the story bosses much easier than the so-called "mini bosses". Especially with my Sera.

Tried the 360 version yesterday for the first time, couldn't play long but i have to say the graphics are awesome except for the horrible framerate when pulling the camera far away from your character, otherwise looks much better than i expected after reading some comments here.
I'm taking it extremely slow, on my way to level 10 and doing every single subquest instead of rushing to do the main quest. I'm always looting every single item that drops and that way I get full pretty fast. I love the fact that I can drop stuff AND get some money for it, even if it is less than the real value. What I'm not liking too much is the difficulty in deciding if a piece of loot is a real upgrade or not.
Sucks for the patch, I was reading the official forum, and according to a dev post (on the teamxbox forum?) the patch would come only near the end of June because Sony would not allow patch before 4 weeks after release. Seems kinda weird a bit bs, afterall many games have had patches released at launch or soon after, even Sacred 2 (I downloaded a patch that put the game to version 1.01 right away on my PS3).
Oh well.
