Roast Rat
 

Maybe you all know it already, but i just discvered that if you talk many times with the dwarves in the Lucky James' mine, each of them will sell you for 50 gold one "Roast Rat", that is somewhat nice (at least for a mage): it gives you permanently +2 Maximum Rage and Mana, but lowers your Leadership by 50.

Two questions about the mines:

1) The number of Roast Rat you get seem to be capped to 6, no matter wich or how many dwarwes you talk at... can anyone confirm it?

2) There's any way to make the dwarves revolt?

3) There's any way to get the Lucky James' secret treasure?

Thanks in advance for the answers :)

1.) max is 6 - true.

2.) none I would be aware of - and I am pretty aware of the game :) so for you it means -> there is one promille chance you can make them revolt - not worth trying as for 99,9 % this is totally not possible

3.)The same as 2.) but here it could be like 2 till 5 promille instead one... :)

I know before the patch, if you don't buy ANY roast rats from Lucky's Mines (don't even talk to miners) and wait till Taron Mines, those guys will sell you many more than 6 as long as you eat them each time you hit 6 (I think I had like 14 or so total before I stopped.) They are 70 gold a piece instead of 50. The second time I played I tried to get some from Lucky's first and when I got to Taron Mines, no one sold any. Never tried after the patch so don't know if it still works.

early game, choose 4 mana OR rage or 240 leadership (give or take, it scales by level more then the other bonuses do).

around 10th level choose 7 mana OR rage or 480 leadership (or was it 740.). but 100 leadership buys you 4 rage and 4 mana, which is definitely more than 7. for definitely less leadership.

2 mana and 2 rage for 50 leadership is a steal, it almost makes me regret having chosen mana and rage boosts instead of leadership on SOME level ups.

Thanks to all for the infos :)

Too bad i already deleted earlier saves and can't do what Temjin said :(

I have a total of 8 rats.

Did you use the trick of TemjinGold?

I got 8 rats too, 7 in lucky's mines and 1 in the sea monster in underground sea.

Edit: lucky's mine not taron..

i got 6 in luckys mines on freedom island. and 1 from the miners in creston mines.

No trick!
All in the Lucky James Mine.
I got 5 at first, I used them up and latest found that it limited may be 6, so I get back buy the rest. But the rest 3 get after combat with James.

Try to talk to all of dwarves in the mine.
