Prevent NPC hireling looting: Instead
of clicking on the bodies, leave them where they fall.
When you get a chance or have cleared the map, exit the
map and re-enter. The bodies will be gone, but there
will be piles of loot where they fell. The NPC will not
loot the pile. Walk over and pick everything up. Also,
if your hireling has picked up something he/she cannot
identify, when you are bartering select the NPC and drag
the item to a different character's inventory. Normally
when you try this, the NPC refuses to drop the item, but
it works with unidentified items while in the barter
menu.
Easy experience: Hire an NPC and simply kill him or
her. This works well if you hire Otis, Elmo, Lareth, or
any high level character.
Once you have earned an Elemental Gem (easiest with
Earth, Air, and Water), use it to summon a demon. Use a
Rogue or Fighter to melee the demon with full attacks
and kill it before the duration expires. When it dies,
loot it to retrieve a free Elemental Gem for another
character, at no risk, plus gain the experience for
killing the creature.
When you first start the game, create your primary
character and two or three others that you will import
later. Start the game using only your primary character.
Walk around Hommlet and talk to everyone so that you
initiate as many of the side quests as possible. You
will be able to finish some of them very quickly.
Complete as many of the non-combat quests as you can,
and since you only are using one created character, you
will level him/her up several levels quickly. If you
want to complete the three romance quests, you will need
two male characters and one female character. Note: The
two romances with the female NPCs may not activate if
you are using evil characters. Go to the inn and import
two characters of your choice. Make sure one is some
type of offensive mage. The other can be whatever class
desired, but if you choose another spell-caster make
sure you hire Elmo, as he is a good high level fighter.
Go out and complete the combat quests, but make sure you
protect your new characters. Elmo can take care of
himself. In Emrity Meadows, avoid the Bear and Giant.
They are high level and the Giant can kill your party
members with one blow from his club. Return there later
after you are at higher levels to kill them. After you
have leveled up to about level 5 or 6, go to the Hommlet
Trading Post and kill Gregmag and Rannos. They give you
a large amount of experience points, and since they are
evil, you will not receive a reputation penalty. With
your primary character now at a high level and Elmo
along, you can easily defeat most enemies while you
protect and level up your spell-casters. Also, in Nulb
you can kill Otis for some good experience points and
equipment. Otis is Elmo's brother, and if you choose to
fight Otis, Elmo will side with his brother. This is a
tough fight at lower levels, and Elmo is more valuable
as your ally if you are only using three or four of your
created characters. If you want to defeat Otis, turn
Elmo loose first. After you kill Otis, you can return to
Hommlet and Elmo will rejoin your party.
Get all 18s in stats: Go to the point buy screen. Set
the first stat to 18, then click and drag it to the
right of the up and down arrows and release it. It
should disappear if done correctly. Go back to the roll
your stats screen and the top box should have an 18 in
it. Repeat this for each box. |
