9 huh, hmm I'm pretty sure I've combed that area.  And I'm sure I didn't kill him otherwise he would've have dropped a bunch of stuff.

Maybe you missed him behind a bunch of trees in your initial sweep?

Anyway, does the glowpad merchant restock? Because mine isn't restocking.

[Tnx]

Is your merchant in an area full of those yellow trees? I'm currently cutting away all the trees with my sword... Is there a faster way to do this? How do I set fire to the area?

EDIT: I throw the lit torch and it only burns whatever tree occupies the square, it doesn't spread at all :\

[Singularity-SRX]

throw a lit torch at it?

[TwilightWalker]

There's always the Disintegrate mutation

Yep. Found him in a large opening though. Also, I think you mean brown.

There's always the Disintegrate mutation :p

Or that pyro one.

[Frumple]

Setting fire to a large swath of land? Pyrokinesis, flaming hands, inferno grenades, flamethrower. Acid grenades/corrosive gas can also cut through stuff pretty quickly. Could also lead one of the fire-spitting enemies to the area, if by some miracle you could survive the chase

Side effect of all this: Taking down the trees like that will pretty much inevitably tork off the merchant. Some folks are reporting their merchant is mostly a pushover. I've had merchants toting missile launchers. So yeah. Crapshoot, possibly involving a you-shoot.

I find crab stepping (step one north east, one south east, etc.) horizontally across the screen about a third of the way from the top and the bottom is pretty thorough for map searching if you're not willing to hit F9 and speed things up. Having better light sources (glowsphere <3) helps during night time. It's generally easier to find the buggers during the day, of course.

EDIT: I guess disintegration would work too, heh.

EDIT2: Huh. There's a lot of ways to set things on fire in this game... awesome.

EDIT3: Ha! You can shove doors around with force bubble. That's... oddly amusing. Think I saw a door knocked around with a high explosive grenade once, too...

[Tarran]

Tehehe, I've got a single rocket and a bunch of missile launchers. Who or what should I overkill with it?

[Pillow_Killer]

Playing with an esper is ridiculously easy if you have laser pistols, gun skills, and survive beyond certain point... say, level 6. My teleport is currently level 10 with -5 rounds cooldown, meaning I can blink around as much as I want, and my clairoyance, which reveals 1/3rd of the map allows to easily evade and loot stuff. And if you have mind lash or stunning force...
-EDIT-
I believe I sohuld add that it's absolutely not easy to survive like that, unless you get really, really lucky, and it's an absolutely best, most satisfying reward for surviving like this.
(please dont nerf stuff)

Tarran. Tarran, breathren. You know what must be done.

Find a rustacean.

Take pictures of its rockety demise.

Got it. Going to find and blast up a rustacean as soon as I'm done with the More Than Willing Spirit quest.

Also, I doubt I'll be able to take pictures in time while it's blowing up. Sorry. I will, however, take pictures of it staring down the missile launcher in it's last minutes.

[Frumple]

Ah, the More Than Willing Spirit one isn't that bad. Can't remember the worst of things there (probably sunder mind buggers, maybe quillipedes), but a level or two after the hostile waydroids, you start running back into friendly ones, making the remainder of the quest a breeze.

Now, the quest after that, to B.Susa? That one is hell. Confusion (ragehatekill) and fire, everywhere. Expect to be confused at least once a level, and probably set of fire 3-4 times per level at minimum. Fortunately, almost (almost) everything that doesn't set you on fire or confuse you is fairly easy to take down (at least until the king crabs, oi.). Except maybe twining leeches. They're not very dangerous, but they're a massive pain to kill. I recommend bringing a flamethrower, if you can find one. Oh, and the worms that explode into acid gas when you kill them. And the flies, actually, they're pretty dangerous.

Um. Yeah. I have to admit, CoQ has the whole post-apocalyptic 'everything will kill me' feel down pretty well. It's nice.

[Tnx]

I have a flamethrower now in Joppa, is there a place to purchase oil later on in the game?

[Frumple]

I haven't found any, yet. If you find a second flamethrower, you can empty it into the other one the same way you pour waterskins into each other, via the fill command. Just be careful not to empty out the receiving flamer.

That said, both the glowpod merchant, the grit gate merchant, and the jungle village merchant I've seen carrying flamethrowers, so there's always an option there if you can drum up the juke to trade in for it.

[Tarran]

You can also find oil containers sometimes if I remember correctly.

Also, about the rustacean-blowing-up-with-a-missile; I found one in Golgotha but I don't have a missile launcher. Darn, looks like I should've brought a missile launcher.

EDIT: RAREGFFHHFF, HE CRACKED MY ARMOR. THAT ASSHOLE. I AM SO GOING TO ENJOY BLOWING UP A RUSTACEAN WHEN I GET THE CHANCE. Oh well, at least I've got a waydroid now.

Edit2: Are... Are they really going to make me finish the "Decoding the Signal" quest before I can speak to barathrum? Assholes. Oh well, off to blasting a rustacean.

Edit3: Also, is it me or do bucklers don't give AV bonuses but do give DV penalties and shield effects when equipped on your arm? And is that a bug?

Edit4: Argvye had solar cell and chaingun data disks for sale. Woo! And even better; instead of learning how to build a chaingun, I learned how to build a sturdy chaingun. Alright, now I'm really going to go off and blast a rustacean. No more slacking.
