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. |
