Also, you'll find that there is not enough stuff to spend your money on, and buying Bonemeal and using a ton of it will not phase you at all. I just dipped down below 8,000 Bonemeal potions in my inventory and I still have like $150k to spend (plus a ton of currently useless items like 100 BW daggers, 50 BW Swords, 6k rubies, etc.). From what I'm seeing right now, one of the more important things will be to have enough hit points to live through the battle then heal up after with potions (or during if necessary). Some of these guys can hit for huge damage, and it's only going to get worse. There was a certain someone before this update that mocked many people on the forum for using levels on HP or BC. I bet he's in a world of hurt right now. Spend a couple skill points on Fortitude early and you'll never have to waste a level on HP! I spend 4 on Fortitude, but I was pretty leveled when it became available. The earlier you do it, the less you have to spend on it. [If I started over, I think that would be the very first two skill points I'd spend, and never use a level on HP.]
Great POST! I remember those conversations on the forum!

He he he Good call on the Increased Fortitude! I started a new player and have been using it and it makes a world of difference since i am free to use my levels to add to my AC, AD, or BC instead of HP.

And yes there is waaaaaay to much floating around late in the game. we really need something to do with it all. I have been buying extra of the items just to keep my list in order when i equip or unequip things. Just spending money because i can. I really dont need these 5k bonemeal potions, consittering i have 500+ regular potions at any given time and over 1k minor potions to boot.

I used to sell the regular and minor potions and use the money for Bonemeal because there was a better hp/gold ratio doing that, but now I don't even bother selling. I have 700 minor, 1k regular, and 1k meat. I wish there was a little counter that gave you the total value of all of the merchandise in your inventory...

I sold mine potions early on in the game to buy bonemeal but now I have too much cash. I sold off a bunch awhile ago just to get rid of them.

i have an obsessive problem, where i have to sell everything im not using...
and keeping my inventory in order...

[everything* in the basket at home is sorted too]
* - unique / rare items i refuse to sell

it would be nice if it was easier to keep my stuff in order
but not really necessary

Not me, you never know when you'll randomly need some milk ;) That's why I was salty the game sold tons of my stuff for me. I bought 10 of everything in the game just in case a random quest required it. But I know what you mean by wanting to keep things in order. It was especially difficult for me because I didn't know items could be dropped...

i almost brought up the milk issue,
cause i read what you posted earlier...

wise move - i even contemplated mimicking your tactics...
but decided against it because that long walk i just made gave me something to do!

:lol:

i've been playing quite awhile - but taking things very slowly...
so i just did the milk run today

To be perfectly honest I don't remember actually ever needing the milk. Maybe I gave it up and don't remember? I just knew people said to bring some. What did you get when you gave the milk by the way?

Oh, but that's only if you sided with Prim?

i can't say - i never sided with them...

i believe each side has quests you can do - only after picking a side...
not sure if the bed quest is tied to choosing to help Prim
-i really think i was offered the quest before i picked a side / but im not 100%-
im sure i will make another character when i run out of stuff to do
