General Tips

And finally, here are some tips for an easy start in the game:

• Sell old gear that you’re not using (for example, if you’re using blue gear, sell any grey gear you have).
• Rob caravans after you’ve unlocked all the towns in an area for silver too.
• The reputation loss doesn’t matter after you unlock all the towns, and you can always grind quests to get it back.
• Hire cheap new grey mercenaries even if your team is better and level them up for easy silver and beer, then fire them when you don’t feel like leveling them up anymore; rinse and repeat… this is more for beer now that I think about it, since you might not make the silver hiring cost back just by leveling.
• An easy way to heal a mercenary is by leveling up. So if they got wounded or even died in a dungeon or something, but you have an experience item that’s enough to get them to the next level, use it, and they’ll be fully healed.
• If you ever see a harpy on the map, don’t go near it. I haven’t seen one yet personally, but they give permanent wounds.
• Depending on the mercenary type, you want to consider your objectives both in survival and the type of strategy you intend to utilize.
• Many times you are interested in survival, given more life (body tempering) means more attacks as you endure longer in a battle.
• Others can provide extra attacks or armor penetration depending on the mercenary type, so just try to pay attention closely to synergies you are building together with your squad.
• There are also some cases where range is a choice, and often that is beneficial, having the option to keep your distance or attack without putting a weaker unit in immediate danger.
• Consider what you’d like to achieve and how different combinations can help attain your goals. Feel free to ask any specifics when it comes to types and traits.
• Clear dungeons or caves and then sell the loot you get from chests (if it’s bad or you just have better equipment already), then sell it.
