Tactics is Int based, do you have it on your wizard?

[Crowe~]

Whats your DEF level?

Some of the mobs in Lv3 where tough, Stone Golems, Greater Demons - those hit hard and consistent. I never came close to death once though. I haven't lost a party member.... yet.

[Sartain]

Tactics on wizard, yes. DEF rating is, I don't know, AGI 15, Full Plate (with +5 def), Steel Caps and Large Metal Shields on everyone.

[Zangi]

Way I figure it, the solution for the first is to increase damage output.  (Upgrade weapons, preferably any ol' indestructible.... since you will run into durability problems while dungeon diving otherwise.)  The second is to increase your defense at the expense of fancy enchanted armor.

[Girlinhat]

I found a mace with Ice Level 8...  And a warhammer with Ice 4 +1 Div.  I'm going to have to do terrible things with that mace.

[Crowe~]

That should give you about 48 DEF at a guess.

My guys were 55 DEF on warriors/clerics, archers higher but they werent the problem since warr/clerics were taking the beats. I doubt ~7 DEF makes a massive difference.
What about max dmg for your weapons? Must be battle length. Do you focus fire power on one mob if they are tough ones? (very tedious - cant blame you if u dont)

I really need to start hitting more dungeons. Im running with heavy boosted standard-ID's only. Those weapons GiH and Reelya keep posting sound great.

[Girlinhat]

Really, go exploring.  For sure, every time a shop opens they have new magic items, and stores like "emporium" and "wares" will have much better stuff than "junk" or "odds and ends".  I check every shop of every town I visit, then check the quests.  Just finished an easy 3k reward for a level 2 dungeon artifact, and hit the treasure room.

[Crowe~]

Sounds like enc items do spawn in shops then, as well as sold loot.

Well, I certainly have been exploring Ive got the whole map, mapped out now. But I stopped visiting towns once I got my guys decent gear - decent in terms of well they are good enough to kill everything Ive come across now - so I have stopped visiting towns except at night or to blacksmith my gear. Guess i'll start hitting the towns again like I did at first. Thanks for the info. 

[Reelya]

I got an indestructible halberd in a shop, as well as an indestructible plate armor. No-one would sell those items normally.

[Crowe~]

Your right there, no one would sell the plate. Even if they didnt need it would be kept to deny others.

I wonder if fading claims has a function of time claimed.
I see your fort north of Ashford (assuming you still hold it), the green is starting to fade away quite rapidly. Compared to other places that are fading very slowly. Or the SW forts where it didnt fade away at all for days.

Question : What happens if your party gets wiped?

[Tomcost]

Are halberds the best weapons in the game or is it just me?

[Crowe~]

No one has had a total wipe out, except GiH once, her garrison was wiped out.
The characters were taken to the nearest city morgue apparently. There is an unproven possibility that total wipes have a chance of leading to some permanent losses - something I read on the change log/forum. Could be out of date info, or a figment of my imagination...

Halberds I think are the best 2H weapon.
Heavy upgrading soon swamps the initial stats though, so they will remain the best but the margin shrinks.

[Girlinhat]

Are halberds the best weapons in the game or is it just me?

Halberds have flat out greater damage and attack than any other weapon.  There's no balance, both stats are higher than any other weapon.

[Wysthric]

Thanks. Next question - is there any way to construct towns? I doubt it, but the construction and destruction of towns (for a huge cost, of course) would be a cool feature.
