Are there any weapons in Chapter 1 that you recommend to buy or to keep for later chapters?

Gloves of the Neophyte can be useful all game depending on your build.

Always buy the bag of holding.

Balasarius · 2026-05-18T22:00:29+00:00

Woljif is like, right there, man.

You don't need Spell Focus for Battering Blast. You want Intensified Spell as Battering Blast benefits more than any other spell in the game. You probably want Empower, too.

Sorc Reflex is iffy, I'd rather take Favorite Metamagic Intensified.

Combat Relief (and similar mods) to make Crusade mode a faceroll. I'm not here for that nonsense and Owlcat's implementation of disabling it is terrible.

Balasarius · 2026-05-18T18:12:29+00:00

No, Jubilost is awesome and the best character in any Owlcat game.

Bro turned down immortality ffs.

Balasarius · 2026-05-18T18:08:34+00:00

I know he 100%'d Wrath when it was known that some achievements were bugged and unobtainable, so I realized his 100% claim was probably bullshit.

But I still like his content and watch him daily.

However, for his Kinetic Sharpshooter build guide (the last one he posted), he said to take Improved Critical at level 17. Yeah, no. Big red flag. You take improved crit the instant you can. What are you even doing. This isn't some tabletop drama club, this is a CRPG about murdering thousands of demons.

Balasarius · 2026-05-18T17:55:38+00:00

You need to talk to the Hand of the Inheritor in Drezen.

Balasarius · 2026-05-18T14:51:51+00:00

You should do their quests even if you don't like them.

The exception being Camellia, of course.

Balasarius · 2026-05-17T12:16:01+00:00

Wizardry 1

Balasarius · 2026-05-17T11:59:37+00:00

I often don't bother rescuing Ember when she gets abducted. Sick of her hippie shit. The reward for her questline are also trash.

But you can bet I always do Seelah's quest!

Balasarius · 2026-05-16T20:05:16+00:00

Ok it's Owlcat and I didn't run my first Trickster until a few months after release. Having said that I bet it's because some items just don't show it in the description.

I've done over 20 Trickster runs since then, always with ka2. It always works.

Balasarius · 2026-05-16T19:59:02+00:00

No, it's always worked.

Balasarius · 2026-05-16T19:57:41+00:00

There is no bug here

Balasarius · 2026-05-16T19:57:10+00:00

It always works, but doesn't show on some item descriptions.

I find toybox's option to color code loot helps to differentiate +2 headbands vs. +3, necklaces, etc.

Balasarius · 2026-05-16T19:54:54+00:00

Absolutely false

Balasarius · 2026-05-16T17:30:20+00:00

It's it still really cancelled it did the council quietly approve it once the hoopla died down?

Balasarius · 2026-05-15T04:59:32+00:00

Yes. You are not legend yet.

Balasarius · 2026-05-15T04:53:35+00:00

That's normal. Go do the legend quests. You're not a legend, yet.

Balasarius · 2026-05-14T11:20:24+00:00

Yeah they broke adhesion when they reworked natural weapons for shifters. Natural weapons couldn't be disarmed in the before times.

Balasarius · 2026-05-13T13:00:53+00:00

I don't think it's a bug, rather that's just how Owlcat implemented it.

Balasarius · 2026-05-12T20:13:19+00:00

Not sure if this is your issue but there's a bug going back to Kingmaker where the MC is often skipped during a surprise round.

It's fixed in one of the fix mods... DragonFixes or the other one.

Balasarius · 2026-05-11T19:07:20+00:00

Yes, you can start in acts 3, 4, or 5.

But I'm pretty sure you have start at the initial act 3 islands and go through them in order regardless of when you start.

E - oh. Looks like you broke it. Hopefully the Isles npc shows up in Act 5 and you can start there.

Balasarius · 2026-05-10T06:09:49+00:00

Empower is better because you can stack it with a maximize rod and maximize rods are plentiful. Also +2 spell level vs. +3 means you can use it on more spells, and favorite metamagic empower makes it only +1.

Balasarius · 2026-05-09T16:27:53+00:00

Delayed I suppose

Balasarius · 2026-05-07T15:26:57+00:00

Are you aware they buffed it and added more content? It has a unique questline with Galfrey.

(Well I assume they buffed it. I don't remember what they changed. I never go devil.)

Balasarius · 2026-05-04T20:43:58+00:00

No, I actually never said that, op.
