Couple of questions..

[Elwin]

Magic Shield is archmage skill not a spell , and armor of gods is rare spell often doesnt appear anywhere on the game. there is no guaranteed place for any spell in game its random ,,,

[vicheron]

I believe that Armor of Gods is Divine Armor.

Unfortunately, all the shops and items, except for the eggs on the adventure map, are completely random.

My mage is level 46 right now. I've been to all the islands and I still haven't found Fit of Energy, Resurrection, and Stone Skin. I didn't find Trap until I was like level 30 but I found Sacrifice at around level 10.

[The Rider]

yeah, it is completly random, the first time I played, I never found:
Time Back
Death Star
Demon Slayer
The second time I played: Demon Slayer was in Verona, Time Back- in Verona in the shop where it costs you 200 gold to see the items and Death Star was again in Verona...
In this game (as mage) I got plenty of runes so it wasnt a problem to upgrade neatness and at the end I got around 900 crystals (first level of neatness gives you +2 crystals from 1-3 lvl items, second +4 crystals of 4th lvl items and +6 crystals +2-3 runes from 5th lvl neatness). I bought all items from the shops and converted everything I dont use into crystals and runes. It was very amusing to have all spell to experiment with

[Affliction]

I have item Army Drum (150 leadership, +1 to morale of all troops), yet my troops still don't have any morale bonuses. I tried unequipping item and my morale still remains same. Is that item bugged ?

[aj2000]

Assuming they're not units with no moral, I'm guessing its the infamous droid bug.

There's apparently a bug involving army slots occupied by repair droids (or guard droids?) that locks out moral changes in said slot forever, even after you remove the droid and reload save in most cases. I think restarting a new game will fix it until you use droids again. I read this from somewhere and apparently a couple players have ran into it already. I've not experienced this as I do not use droids.

Its a damn shame as I really want to use rep droid / guard droid + sacrifice combo to grow my troops, but I stayed away from droid since I read up on the bug...

I'm not sure this is the same bug but I also have some bugs with moral not shoing, yet I never had droids in my army in this playthrough.

Well if it's you can try to fix the bug yourself. Go to ses.kfs and find items.txt everything should be located there.

When I open that file with notepad, I get a bunch of gibberish text. There is items.txt somewhere, but I can't make out any text.

Btw, how do people handle item upgrades on higher difficulty levels? Right now, even most basic items have extremely powerful guardians and I can't seem to beat them without taking huge losses myself.

[DGDobrev]

It's all about fighting properly (low loss count, so that you have extra cash), knowing what the item has to "offer", and in the end, knowing what you can set against it. For example, anything that has the siege ability get extra damage against gremlin towers, so Cyclops and Cannoneers will excel in such battles.

Actually it gives morale boost only to HUMAN troops (I think description is wrong)
