[raknefne]

I'm glad to hear u are back, I thought you had given up... U are helping to tune the mod, finding the last mistakes/balancing, thanks. Anyway items with +gold after battle helps too.

yes i found one item for gold % , casquet of gems so for the moment it's ok with gold , also i managed to beat the enemy guarding map of istering so i can test that island too.

Good to hear. Don't forget to Donate to Christa when you can for extra gold pr. battle too. I'm currently having a run on Hard as Lightbringer Mage. I have been lucky with getting or buying items with +gold pr battle. It is very different from game to game, this game gold is very easy for me, other times it is harder and I have to be easy on gold. Level 13 now.

hello.so far i found some bugs when speaking with some npc ,1 in the Isterreng with the smuggler , 2 in ice gardens .
Also there is no guild in Isterreng or Ice gardens .

The Smugler yes, couldn't change that "white text bug". Aware of that. After a 1 year or more with testing ... we decided that a few text bugs was not so important near the release, but it is noted for an update.

We decided not to put a Guild on Istering... BTW the Boss Spider is more manageable now, was very strong before compared to early game.

Ice Garden: LOL, I have never figured out how to get there... so that has not been tested or modded or anything!!! Been playing with what I was used to, just found it now - sailed back to Merlassar and found Dinrin. Thx a lot!

it's difficult with the quests since all the npc are labeled as actor_system etc and not their names.does nt matter if you talk to them or right click on them ....still no real name .same for builduings.so if you have som quest go to x and return to y.... well you have to speak to all npc just to guess whom you are supposed to talk, it s more difficult when you have quests with npc from different islands , and with the tax system ...well i still believe it should be removed .i found some good items and vital for a mage that costs 200 000 gold or higher .... how do i manage to keep that amount of money when if you have it tax steals you 50 000 gold from it just for one teleport

[raknefne]

Yes, it's all names/locations on Ice Garden that needs to be looked on. We will do that in the update/patch. It's noted. Leave the island, please... (at the moment it will be too expensive sailing among islands unless you have put the gold in the Guild).
It is also the plan to make the sailing tax 10% an option when leaving Nordlig the first time, either zero tax or 10% tax along with different bonuses. Also highest game difficulty will be a "Survival" Difficulty still 5% gold, diffi will be NORMAL-HARD-IMPOSSIBLE-SURVIVAL.

It is different each game what you can afford to buy... 200k for an item is a lot at this point... With my current Lightbringer Mage on Hard level 16, I have 100k in Guild, spent 100k on 2-3 items mainly on Merlassar, soon going to Greenwort with 75k on hand... I have items on me with +8-10% gold pr. battle at the moment. One time when leveling up I chose Gold instead of +1 attack or +1 Intellect and got 16 Crystals and 32k gold, because I knew I would need some when arriving at Greenwort.
I have been lucky in this game with gold after battle and items!

How is difficulty in fights working for you? Let me know about the Boss Spider, it might be a little too easy, at least it has less hit points than a normal game and as a Mage.

If you send me your email adress to uffemander@gmail.com I will soon send you a link for downloading a temporary patch with name fixes on Istering/Ice Garden.
