The Saurian cave has one of the tablets. It's what the whole generator activation in Waterport is for - it drains the cavern underneath. Then there is a well there that you can use to descend into the cave.

And yeah, Loch Titan. When you take that thingie over the first lake to the other side, there is a dark cavern there that you can cross to a second lake.

Spoiler

I remember now. The place with those lizarmen right? I was one-hit-kill by those spears before because I was too weak, going there now to take the tablet, thanks.
The "boat" cross those parts too.

Hi!

tu friend for that information it is good to know and tu for not spoiling me on my other questions as I took some time away with a few drinks and am now over my head with Hobknob combat and have hit a wall right now I hope another bottle will get me through this annoyance or I find something in my inventory to destory this eight-legged little (#$*!

What did you do?

Play the Slumber Lyre with a Bard. It may be a bit like cheating for now, but I think it's okay if nothing else helps. Or if you do not have a Bard, play the Slumber Lyre by having one of the characters use it directly from the inventory.

Hi Lady Error!

Spoiler

well what a little $(*# Hobknob was the other night but today after a nice sleep and waking up refreshed it went well with the Slumber Lyre and using the spell Slow to cut the knob's attacks down and no one died so since then I have killed the Black Lich and found the bones of the Monk and am exploring the mining company and found a dark tunnel!!

and I finally ran out of inventory space!

Thanks,
Sherry

Related to those Black Runes around the game:

Spoiler

The Mandarin gives you the item to use on them. Ask him for Music

I just realized that right-clicking on the Magic Sack or Wizard Bag opens a 4x4 grid of squares where items can be placed. However, when I try place a key in the Wizard Bag or a magic item in the Magic Sack, the grid simply closes when I left-click on one of the squares in the grid (and right-clicking does nothing). I assume I'm missing something obvious.

You find more sacks, barrel and chest for them. They hold only some kind of item. Magic sack accept scribes, for example, so you can't place a key in them.

You have to pick up the item you want to place in the container with a left click, right click on the container while the item is selected, then place it on one of the slots.

There is a wiki ppl, try to help filling it !!

Too many infos scattered across the web/threads it's a pita to track !

Cleve as usual is in total tunnel vision syndrome mode trying to fix (or break?) some shit that don't matter in the slightest .... so the manual is probably a long time away ! (And I bet it's going to a fucking weird/useless one going by the description of it .... )

http://grimoire.wiki

Btw, who's the owner of this wiki?

ps: hi Dex'

Right, that's what I'm trying, but the grid of slots closes whenever I try to place an item in a slot (by left-clicking with the item held over a slot).

 

[JarlFrank]

Then it's not the right item. Wizard bags can only hold magic items like potions, wands and scrolls, scroll cases can only hold scrolls, and later on you will find burlap sacks that hold everything except for essential items (those are, apparently, forever stuck in your inventory).

 

[Danthar]

Is it level based then? No stat increases the amount of skill points you gain per level? I understand the multiplier just not what governs the base number you get before it's multiplied by 1.0 or 0.8 and so on.

No stat increase skill gained, skill gained is the same roll each time multiplied by the bonuses from each races/classes

OTOH, it seems one of mental stats does affect skill gain rate for some skills that develop with use. When I was grinding climbing, my spellcasters used every climb to raise the skill, quickly maxing it. The less intellectually developed dwarven berserker and wolfin ranger were at around 50 by that moment, and it took them twice as many attempts to max it. By the time they did, my dumb as a brick saurian was under 40, I spent 3 times as much time grinding him alone, and gave up at about 80. He only increased in, like, 1 out of 8 climbs.

Curiously, this is not true for swimming, everyone learns it at equal rate and finishes simultaneously.

Yes, read somewhere INT increases chances of skill levelup on success and WIS increases chances of skill levelup on failure, but... I myself have never seen a skill levelup on failure (but then, haven't done much other than fighting yet).

Is there a editor for download somewhere?

You can remove essential items. On configuration, select none for Critical Item Lock.

The bags/containers are hand-placed loot or drop at random too ?!

I've only found a scroll case yet (9 slots i think?) ...

Any locations you remember/know of ?!

With the inventory as it is it would probably help a buckload of ppl !

I know I'm rambling, but HELP WITH THE WIKI GUYS !

We obviously can't count on Cleve to release a proper manual ...

And even in the unlikely case he does release it, it's gonna be bugged to death ( His master plan is to release it as an executable .....)

 

[Dexter]

I know I'm rambling, but HELP WITH THE WIKI GUYS !

I'm Updating my Steam Guide thingie as I go along, I took a longer break to see how the Savegame situation develops and that was the right move given what happened to 1.2.0.7 but I added some more areas and some Info on Talking to NPCs and Lockpicking, you can take a look over it and see if I missed shit (likely) and can transfer any Info to the Wiki if you like: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1102535369

That's nice of you I def will, but you shouldn't give Steam free traffic/content !

 

[Giant Dwarf]

could someone give me a hint? so far I've

Spoiler

done the egg-> owl thing, gotten the key from him and cleared (as far as i know) all 3 tombs from the gardens of midknight

I know of 3 closed doors, one in the sacred pools and 2 in the armory, and have no clue how to open them

collection of quest items: knightley catechism, mistrals letter, bane of hobknob, outrigger harness, royal seal of loogmar, museum ticket, key of the exemplar, stepping stones

I feel like i'm missing something really obvious..

 

[Zep Zepo]

Is there a way to replace existing party members with different self-made party members?

Sounds like a good feature to add to my DECLINE editor.

Zep--

 

[Viata]

Any locations you remember/know of ?!

I remember one in a ship(can't remember which one) and one in a port(near the ship, not same map, though).

 

[Sam Bixby]

Ok I just used the editor to test class changing, I made a lv 10 metalsmith and changed him into a pirate and I'm missing some of the skills like Robbery and Sorcery. You still get the spells when you hit lv 6 for Sorcery but you can't seem to up these skills.

Is this a bug or are these skills somewhere else, because they are not in the skill list.

Did you keep metallurgy and your points in it after switching classes? Wonder if you lose skills and points invested in them or not.

You keep all skills and the points put in them, that's just it you don't get any of the new skills from the class change and this seems to be a bug that no one has talked about because it takes so damn long to get to lv 10 and class change.

I hope when more people get higher in this game there will be more info on this because I don't see this nothing more then a bug.

I saw my guy increasing weaponskill while missing. But that was against fairies who are immune to non-magical weapons, so maybe he did not truly miss in terms of attack roll.
