That's good to know Simmura. I think I might just get that, because I have trouble with large amounts of level 2 monsters and their stupid high HP.

In other news, this is what we're getting next week:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

What is in said patch? Krong is so very, very glad you asked.The following bugs have been fixed:
 - Fixed: Anvils of Krong spawning in hallways for no good reason
- Fixed: crash that occurred when moving up stairs or down stairs, randomly
 - Fixed: Knightly Leap now covers the full span of Knight Movements.
 - Fixed: shopkeepers doing odd things when picking up and dropping items after load/save
 - Fixed: crash when using invalid missile sprites
 - Fixed: merchandise not cleared when you go downstairs
 - Fixed: backwards conditional logic on ranged monster attacks means that monsters were not consistently casting spells; fixing this makes the Dungeon 95.2% nastier.
 - Fixed: Current Active Skill crossing over between new games
 - Fixed: the bug with save games overwriting themselves if you have two characters with kind of the same name.

And the following new things shalt be added:

- Key binding interface.
- Automatic Saves in the Case of Crashes.
 - Changes to how Permadeath works. We’ll now delete the file when you actually die.
 - Auto-loot toggle.
 - SHIFT-Click and Click Reversal Button. (Makes SHIFT-Click work like CLICK! Makes CLICK work like SHIFT-Click!)
 - Rapid selling of items in the store, yea, by holding the SHIFT-Click button and smacking the inventory while standing in a shop.
- Fifty New Achievements
- Steam Overlay Support, yea, though it is Experimental and Requires your Graphics Card To Support OpenGL
 - In-game Leaderboards, Yea, For Messing With Your Friends
- Steak Grilling
 - Magnification of UI elements to TWICE their Size (Yea, Though We Know Not How Far We Can Get With This In The Allotted Time, Though We Are Working On It)

All Glory Unto Krong!

EDIT: There will be future patches. We’re not dealing with content and gameplay balancing yet because we want to get this stuff fixed. Likewise, we’re not turning on the Mod Support yet because we want to get the core gameplay fixed. Et cetera, et cetera.

Bolded the important parts. To me, of course. I'm not too worried about the keybinding because I enjoy the keybindings right now as-is.

Cerepa I could use some tips. I've got a character on dungeon level 1 that's got:

Level 2 sword skill
Level 2 Psionic skill
Level 1 Fire, Archeology, Magic Training, Dual Wield and Smithing skills.

I can probably squeeze out 2, MAYBE 3 character levels out of this dungeon level. So what should I be doing? Go the full Archeo route to get artifact rerolling first thing? Invest in fire trap for dungeon level 2? Or get the next smithing skill so I can upgrade my Rough Steel Sword to a Steel Sword?

Just keep calm and carry on, if you have stuff to reroll, go into Indiana Jones, if not, then dump a bit into fire. I dont have any idea what happens if you smith with an artifact, if it is an artifact, if it isnt, then
I wouldnt give a crap.

EDIT: And personally I go with blood magic, viking magic, dual wield, staffs, fire, Indiana Jones and burglary. So you might have to do stuff very differently.
EDIT2: I also never found the level 2 guys to have very high HP, 2 hits, maybe 3 if I am unlucky with procs on someone meatier.

 - Fixed: merchandise not cleared when you go downstairs

... they are supposed to clear? so ... we reroll the merchants?
that means free 10 star equipment if i go teleport build again .... hehehehe

The one thing I've noticed is that magic doesn't scale well and finding items that boost magic power is harder than finding physical items.

I've been trying to play a pure mage (with the staffs skill for melee) and it gets to the point where your spells are too expensive and do little damage when compared with the crazy melee weapons you can find.. So at this point I feel like spells are more support than a real method of damage.

[freeformschooler]

Yeah, you could probably bend your definition of "pure mage" to include staffs if you want, just because they can be as overpowered as anything else you may find.

[Soulwynd]

I thought I did include that... But it's hard to find an item, even a staff, that boosts magic by a significant amount, so you have to whack things to do damage.

[mr. macduggan]

Well I DID have a good golemancer character going, but the game crashed when I went to level 3, forever destroying the save file. Anyway, I found a new build that's pretty cool.
Get Crossbows, Golemancy, Blood Magic, Melee Skill of some sort, dodging, and some other skills you're interested in. The point of this character is ALWAYS to be away from the action, letting golems tank for you. I got a moustache golem right away, then I got the wall golem (chokepoint plus moustache golem equals imba) and then you can feel free to put whatever you want into crossbows or perhaps some other ranged skill. Knightly leap is a good one to get early though, because if you're in a tight spot you can leap, drink a mana potion, then put up a wall or two to protect yourself. I have to say, I'm enjoying these 75% pure mages.

[Soulwynd]

Yes, my best character so far got far enough to summon the pet from the fire skill. But the fire damaging skills themselves weren't enough to actually do damage.

[mr. macduggan]

The rune of exploding is far and away the best spell I ever took. It can clean out monster zoo rushes like nobody's business.

[freeformschooler]

Gosh dangit all the cheese and steak and potions and stuff are making me hungry.

This is not a game to be played on an empty stomach.

Anyway thanks for the advice guys, I took rune of exploding and cleared out an entire quest-army of monsters nearly at once.

EDIT: These are the stats that YOUR stats could look like if you clear out Dungeon Level 1.

I wonder how.... Mine barely even scratches them before it runs out.

This game need a wiki.... badly....

I'm guessing my luck with it is due to my ever-rising magic damage bonus.

Mine are totally better.

Cept for magic power, that falls so low I might have start worrying that my spells would start healing the enemies. Nice counter and dodge on ya.

EDIT:Bahaha rolled a 2 necro resist/1 blast ring on level 2, deths do nothing and gives me extra damage.

Yeah, I was running a pure mage, so I'm sure my magic power was very high. I got a couple of really good bonuses, too.
