Man, all the henchies are expensive..
crying I only have a little over 100 but they say they cost 250. And the game says I may die without a henchman due to the difficulty level.
What should I do? >_< Sell stuff?
Did you do the prelude? If so you should have come out of that with roughly 1000 gold worth of gold and items you shouldn't feel bad about selling.
At your point, get Linu or Tomi for healing and trap/chest handling. By the time you loot the center of town you should have enough gold to easily pick up at least one or two more people.
And trust me when I say they're worth it.
Working on the prelude...found a place I can level up and stuff.
If you're on the prelude, the henchmen shouldn't be there, let alone giving you prices.
Really? Well then maybe i'm confused? I got past the part where the academy is attacked, and at the Hall of Justice there's Tomi or whatever, the rogue dude.
He offers his services at 250 GP...then I went to the Trade of Blades place and saw the other mercenaries.
I have nowhere near 1000 gold. lol...so maybe they changed things for Diamond?
Then you're past the prelude. The prelude is when the academy gets attacked.
Before you speak to Aribeth, loot every room you can get in to. The three bedrooms when you start out? Each has a chest or desk you can get a few small items from. The room with the lady talking about the map has shelves and piles of books. You might net some spell scrolls, but even the books can sell for 2-6 gold each. Not much, but at this point a few gold can be the difference between armor that is ok and armor that is good.
Remember where you took your ranged weapon test? Empty the rack.
There's three rooms along the hallway to the graduation room, duck into the mage room and swipe the two scrolls from the chest before looking for the bookshelf and pile of books.
Then duck out and hit the room where the cleric noobs are practicing. There's a lootable item in here, do so.
Then head back to the dwarf merchant and offload anything you don't immediately need.
This means everything but weapons you intend to use immediately, armor you're wearing, any healing items (heelz r gud phor uz fiturz-tipes
biggrin )
Then go talk to Aribeth. Before leaving that room, hit the two desks.
On your way through the rest of the complex after the attack remember to sweep back through every room, both slaughtering the invaders and picking clean anything you can grab. Several rooms have supply rooms attached to them...
I don't know if it was brought to your attention, but you can get a better view of things by holding the tab key. This highlights anything you can click on. Objects are blue, enemies are red and have their name and basic damage level above them. This will also help you in some areas where the loot bag dropped when corpses disappear blend in.
Take everything. Even if you hit the last fight overweight and moving slow, keep it. Then sell anything you don't immediately have a need for.
Trust me when I say that as soon as you start into the real work in the different districts that you'll be rolling in money and items, especially if you check any building you can open the door to. By the end of the first chapter you'll have good magical armor, probably two or three decent weapons for different situations, a handfull of misc goodies, and enough gold to bury your henchmen in.
Oh, and if you come across locked doors or chests, lockpick them. Rogues will use finesse and pick the lock, warriors will use their swords and pick the entire chest or door to splinters, wizards will use their arcane might and pick the object and a couple feet around it into a smoking crater.
Oh, and once you get started hitting real loot far from home base, load all the way til you're walking and just use the stone to get home. Then sell it there and drop the 50 gold to take the portal back. Muhaha. With fighter class type strength, you should make a killing on loot.
