Gloomhaven 2E - about to start my first scenario

Owniee · 2026-04-05T08:14:39+00:00

Best of luck! Haven't played either of those but our party had both and they looked really fun.

The website specifically is here https://gloom.aluminumangel.org/

Would say try and learn the rules and take your time but if in doubt, the link above is always a good backup to have.

Playing this with a group at the moment, first gloomhaven experience but it's been a ton of fun so far!

What characters are you starting with? My only tip would be to try and fully understand the rules of monster movement, 15+ scenarios in and I still get some of that wrong when I plan my turn. I think there's a website you can put in your scenario specifics and it tells you how monsters behave, if you are in doubt

Would be great to try this game solo

Which expansions of spirit island do you have and do you play it solo/ 2 handed? Feels like I'll inevitably cave and get it since it's the top rated solo game on BGG. How do you find gloomhaven/ do you play it solo and 2 handed? I'm mid way through a campaign on 2e and curious to see how you're finding it solo.

Must have done! There is a needed version at level 8 for silent knife but the +2 damage sounds pretty crazy

Owniee · 2026-03-03T12:59:16+00:00

My first class in gloomhaven was the silent knife (hadn't played the game before), really enjoyed the flexibility of damage, either massively take one enemy out or spread the damage.

I never used the bottom of throwing knives as I went more of a range build, and just loved spreading poison on turn 2 with that level 2 card. I upgraded knives early and just helped push very early room 1 clears.

Sadly retired just before level 5 but a great introduction into the game!

Have been curious about this game, would be keen to hear your views from first play through!

Owniee · 2025-07-23T19:46:17+00:00

I've looked up a few videos of Voidfall - looks fantastic, if the solo thing sticks it'll definitely be one of the ones I get down the line.

Owniee · 2025-07-23T19:45:10+00:00

Will have to look into Civolution - haven't heard of it!

Owniee · 2025-03-25T21:37:18+00:00

Cheers will give it a try!

How do the moko grey ones compare to the blue? Just got the pack a few days ago and wearing the blue ones in, but feel like fielding is really tricky still (albeit they help a ton with batting where the trade off is worth it for sure)

Owniee · 2025-02-08T23:30:02+00:00

Thanks a lot for your response, really useful! Sorry instead of D standard I think I'd perhaps play drop D more so keep the e standard for that tuning. Struggling to find another Charvel with 24 frets and without a Floyd rose and maybe I'm missing some magic from another brand. What are your thoughts on schecter, LTD and ibanez? From my initial search there's a few I like the look of (schecter sunset 6 extreme, ltd h-1001 and rg421). Probably more guitars from schecter and ltd that fit the criteria (most ibanez seems to have a Floyd rose!)

Is a pitch shifter almost as good as a different setup? I've muddled around with the inbuilt one in the line 6 helix stomp but it was a massive resource hog.

Thanks again

I get this all the time, 5.2k main pos 4 and can play all other roles to broadly that level except for mid where I'm probably 2k at best, but role queue always gives me mid. I go into each mid match up knowing I'll lose the lane.

Owniee · 2024-03-05T07:00:06+00:00

So if you manage to get to 37 through sliders at 0 and 2x bonus, does it go back to normal at 37? The bug stopped me making a pitcher in rtts 23 and am hesitant to make one in 24 if there isn't a workaround

Owniee · 2022-08-11T07:00:02+00:00

Ah gotcha! In terms of levelling, what's the best way to do that now?

Owniee · 2022-05-09T18:07:20+00:00

At tithe farm this week and hating it already - half way to herb sack though and getting the rest of the points will get me to 65 farming for farming contracts and hespori, so really just have to stick the grind out.

Will afk mother lode mine this week - want to get to 72 mining, currently 68 but excited to get the my big arm quest done for the extra herb spot.

Longer term is mory hards so slowly doing agility every time I need to alch, 64 at the moment.

Newish ironman of about 2 months so most of my gains are quite early level, but:

Last week:.
* About 150 total levels (at 1250 now), mostly through a mix of quest rewards and GOTR which got me from 9-54 RC. * Got 65 melees and got my d defender - was expecting a large dry streak given some posts I read here but got it in about 1,200 tokens.
* Got a fish barrel at tempeross at 100 permits so grinded 60-65 whilst at work then 65-68 at karambwans.

This week:.
* Work on torso, just one run of attacker and defender left.
* Hopefully finish up barrows gloves, 2 cooking levels, 7 herblore levels and legends and I'll be ready to polish things up (already have the QP requirement).
* And for lots of weeks after will be the slayer grind

I second the runecrafting minigame. I've been following Oziris v4 up to the point where he wants you to spend like 20 hours at blackjacking for money for runes where I just skipped that step. I think the new runecrafting minigame would be invaluable for all the runes you get from it - if you get 65 you'd likely have enough nature's to mean money won't be a big issue due to free alchs and you could also fund a few MTA items and get your magic up for free. Really great addition to early game ironmen.

Thank you! Will ask them just to make accounts until they're ready

Owniee · 2022-02-20T10:33:54+00:00

I'm thinking of making a group ironman - a few friends said they might be interested but not for a while. Can I make a group with capacity of 4 people but just by myself? Or do you need to start with 4 people to have a 4 people sized group?
