Re: Mercantile Skill - HELP!

Ok, so I got some more data on this. The whole formula is driving me insane. I know there is a logical answer, because the prices ALWAYS come up the same. So there has to be a formula, but for the life of me, I STILL can't figure it out. Ok, so... at zero mercantile skill, the item value is doubled....

Re: Mercantile Skill - HELP!

Seems to me like price*(2 - 0.0355*merc), rounded down. so 200% - 3.55% for every level. But more data points will give a better estimation. I'll post some more data later. I need to make another character and just pump up merc, level by level. I figured this for lvl 20 merc, and it was off a bit. ...

Mercantile Skill - HELP!

Ok, so, I was bored and started an attempt at a FAQ for the game, one a little more in depth than what's out there and I've come up with a problem. Not knowing how it works is killing me. LoL I've found that mercantile affects gold in this way... Selling: When selling stuff to a vendor, take the val...

Re: The high-endurance silent warrior - character build example

Thought I'd give this as an example for anyone wanting to try something a bit different. Druidic Healer (with extremely good starting roll) Stats (L1 -> L21) Str: 14 -> 24 Dex: 13 -> 25 End: 20 -> 58 Spd: 14 -> 14 Int: 14 -> 14 Wis: 15 -> 15 Per: 25 -> 25 Con: 10 -> 10 Extremely good roll is an und...

Re: food

The second job I had after graduating from college was teaching computers using TRS-80 Model ones with cassette tape drive. In fact all the early computers I owned had cassette tape drives ( Timex-Sinclair ZX-81, Commodore Vic-20 and 64, Atari 400, Apple II). I remember playing a game called Dungeo...

Re: Female vs male character attributes and skills

The truth is you can still easily have a muscle-bound female or a dexterous male from the start of the game by choosing a good roll and allotting your extra attribute points accordingly, just like in Book I . Remember this is a BONUS, not a PENALTY....which means gender selection has no negative ef...

Ecshcalon: Book I CD's

I see the CD's are sold out, but I was wondering will more be cut? I currently have the game purchased via Reflexive Games. I've been a long time member of thier site because it lets me try out games before I buy them. I purchased this one because I played it a lot during the demo. I'd love to have ...

Re: The perfect dice roll?

I'm kinda of new here. I've been a lurker for the most part, just gathering info I needed and going about my business. Well I finished the game the other day and decided to come trolling the forums. All I can say to all of you with raw rolls above 100 is this. Please lend me some of your dice rolls ...
