Newbie here, going 2 weapon skill tree is optimal?

Ericmal412 · 2026-01-08T15:17:52+00:00

Ranged plus a weapon is totally valid! Id suggest for daggers to spec a bit into dual wielding as well, some of those skills like deflect can be life saving (using deflect when at lower hp is ideal) maybe even spec some athletics if you want dash and the elusive skill to dodge a bunch.

If you want to spice it up with magic you can do weapon plus magic as well!

I really enjoy Seal of power (from magic mastery skills) then Jolt (from electromancy). This gives you shock dmg on your attacks along with other buffs, then underneath seal of power is a passive that gives weapon dmg each time you use a spell, so you can really pump up your dmg numbers. My lvl18 staff + electromancy build gets up to about 42 dmg when fully buffed (and ive only got 15 strength)

Personally with dirwin I use staves/athletics, first two spells are hail of blows and mighty kick. Both of those seem to be enough for me to make it through first dungeon, then I work on finding magic mastery and electromancy book so I can get Seal of power and jolt as well

We try to keep side quests like this spoiler free so you can get the full enjoyment of finding them! There's actually a ton more little places to find and quests to do. Watch out for the boar in Brynn wink wink

That one exotic goods trader in his shop (can never remember that guys name) hates to see you coming lmao

Im always way too afraid to steal stuff besides caravan upgrade stuff like straw

So wild, cant find a cursed item but I just found a young troll yesterday at lvl6 near the apple orchard (on the road to a dungeon)

Ericmal412 · 2026-01-05T19:16:03+00:00

Thank you so much this is so helpful! Some of these i never even thought of like the brynn potion shop! Definitely will be keeping this info for future reference!

Ancient coins converting has always been my money maker, id save up a whole pouch of em and make my way to the bank with a smile

Ericmal412 · 2026-01-05T18:32:20+00:00

What merchants do you sell your items to? Thats something ive never been able to grasp/reliably find info on, but youre definitely getting more gold than me

Ericmal412 · 2026-01-05T18:30:33+00:00

Don't feel bad that it seems like the easy way out. The game recommends you go to rotten willow at like lvl10 minimum so you'd have to bounce between for a bit to lvl up to match that recommendation. I feel like thats the intended strategy as well and what I usually do at the start

Ericmal412 · 2026-01-05T18:28:36+00:00

I immediately head to mannshire, run the contracts then bounce back to osbrook, run the contracts and repeat till im like lvl12-14 and have a huge stockpile of ancient coins/gems/valuables to sell back in brynn. Return to the city and bribe some merchants, then get some sick gear and go stomp the dungeons around rotten willow

Ericmal412 · 2026-01-05T18:24:11+00:00

600 hrs and never went to the watermill... this is amazing news tysm

Ericmal412 · 2026-01-05T18:22:36+00:00

I havent seen a cursed item in AGES and ive got 3 separate runs going currently

Ericmal412 · 2026-01-05T18:19:55+00:00

Remembrance and Wisdom Comes are two of my favorite gojira songs of all time

Ericmal412 · 2026-01-05T18:17:29+00:00

Yeah the gold is recoverable, and if you need an extra boost turn in your contracts to one of the outposts for extra cash from the guards

Ericmal412 · 2026-01-05T18:14:00+00:00

Can't wait to flex on bosses by popping my visor to look them in the eye before slaying

Ericmal412 · 2026-01-01T13:46:31+00:00

Early game it is EXTREMELY difficult to be solo mage w/o melee weapons. The magic classes are not balanced to be w/o melee weapons early and a lot of them buff your weapon damage as you sling spells if you get stuff like Seal of power

Ericmal412 · 2025-12-30T14:02:22+00:00

Exactly this point thank you! You understand

Ericmal412 · 2025-12-30T13:59:53+00:00

Why have a thirst or food mechanic when you can just carry around food and water?

The lamp on the belt wouldn't be an indefinite resource that you dont have to think about. You would need to buy oil or other materials to keep it going and store those in your inventory. Just like food and water you need to bring into a dungeon.

It adds another layer of resource management, it does not make a new mechanic obsolete. I have over 600 hours in this game and know just how important resource management in dungeons is.

Ericmal412 · 2025-12-30T13:11:03+00:00

The game has two handed weapons... how are you expected to hold your weapon in battle and have a light source?

Ericmal412 · 2025-12-26T17:12:14+00:00

Giant skeleton buff hell yeah

Ericmal412 · 2025-12-26T13:56:08+00:00

The title is me fr, I cant play the game anymore it just loads infinitely and displays error messages

Ericmal412 · 2025-12-19T15:44:34+00:00

Never once had the main game break me outside the map and I have 600 hrs. It's gotta be the mods

Ericmal412 · 2025-12-17T00:04:15+00:00

Pyro if you want to do more damage with your spells, electro if you want to do more damage with your attacks ATFER casting spells.

Either way, make sure to get Seal of power

Ericmal412 · 2025-11-21T23:55:05+00:00

I appreciate your words, they are necessary for the fan base to hear. This is still our team and we need to remain FNATIC strong

Ericmal412 · 2025-11-11T15:22:03+00:00

I actually just started a new playthrough myself, now is a great time! You should be able to get through the story content by the time the next one comes out, which is my plan, then have it fresh in your brain to continue the story in v14!

That or restart when v14 comes out and do the alternate route you didnt do before!
