I only play ladder, but I think 5OS phase blades do drop on local

you need the far harbor DLC to unlock the caltrops traps

They got a deal, on traderie they sell for 4 Jahs or 4 Bers now.

got a few uniques too but too bad they weren't mara

Luck was on my side. How your ladder start go this time around

Np glad it was helpful

only Traderie

​@@jessesgamereviewstipsandst5517 do you have issues joining other regions to make trades? I'm in USA but I see a lot listed in EU and Asia.

when you load up battlenet on d2r tab near the play button , there's a drop-down to allow you to select the server to play if you choose asia you can only join asia games, Europe for Europe games etc. Hope that helps you

I definitely got lucky with the early S Torches this season, I'm sure if not this season, next one you'll be granted early game HR :) to snowball your ladder progress.

the no fast travel will have me beat

Yeah been playing alot of remake games such as the ff series, would love to get some pc games remade with better graphics and magical arta, same musics, etc. Something similar to the Diablo 2 resurrected remake would be grear with ability to change between new graphics and classic graphics

good info thanks

yeah haste does increase more action points per round and is a must have in all builds

I think summon kills counts is added to player log book as player kills, but technically your approach is not wrong

Never too late with this game, love both tech and magic builds. Nothing beats army of fire tech Axes

Oh yes. Pyrotechnic Axe is such a broken OP weapon. I am using a Charged Sword for my character, which is the best fast tech sword. But nothing beats Pyrotechnic Axe when it comes to raw power. Especially with an army.

This is with the unofficial patch, but I believe these all work with Vanilla as well.

@@jessesgamereviewstipsandst5517 Gotcha, and thank you for the reply. Much appreciated bro 👍. I'll definitely try out this build after my gunslinger play through. It looks like a lot of fun.

Yes you need far harbor dlc to make Caltrops

@jessesgamereviewstipsandst5517 booo... I only paid $5 for the game so it's hard to wrap my head around $30 for a dlc 🤣

Caltrops good for early game caps to buy junk items to create the water purifiers, then can just sell purified water for all other needs after including additonal steel if required.

@@jessesgamereviewstipsandst5517 yeah, but don't burn up all your steel on caltrops. Also, 12 total Charisma is your break-even point where selling caltrops offsets the cost of an equivalent shipment - so unless you have 8 Charisma + clothes, or like to habitually use some of the rarer chems, keep that in mind.

Thanks for input for future content, for now I've updated video title to include "requires DLC"

I almost did the same lol 😅

@@jessesgamereviewstipsandst5517 ha np lol... It was only one point but I'm disappointed cuase I could've got the final pick locking perk...

That's truly dedicating love it

welcome to help :)

glad it was helpful.

I was planning to build an online character builder for arcanum and wanted to include some portraits but didn't want to deal with copy right issues, looks like so far ai art is split down the middle

i would pay 60 bucks for a remake of this game.

Maybe if an acanum 2 is made we will get just that

no idea why but thanks for the catch and input

I haven't looked into teleport staff and would need to explore that option the next time I play this game

I'm kind of overwhelmed with all the skills. I've played lots of rpg's, especially older ones, but I'm a little confused. Any suggestions? You seem to be the perfect person to ask.

@@williamgregg6339 Well, I'd say there are a couple of main playstyles I would recommend for a beginner playthrough. Easiest: If you go magic, make sure to get enough magick aptitude and use Harm as the main damage spell (harm damage scales with aptitude making it one of the strongest spells), you can pretty much do whatever else with magic what you want. Make sure to pick up some magic staves with extra mana on them and you'll never run out of mana. (mage, mystic and arcane staffs sold by wise women are nice to haves as a magic caster to use as mana batteries) Tech is quite a lot harder. If you go tech as a beginner, throwing skill and molotov cocktails/explosives is a great fallback to cover for lack of damage from other places. So even if you go gunslinger and find it difficult in some parts of the game, you got explosives to fall back on for hard encounters. They can make encounters very easy. 2 or 3 points in throwing and some training is enough to make good use of explosives. Also, don't forget to pick up the dog on first ashbury visit. Other than that, there are plenty of builds that can be very strong, like backstab builds for example. But it would depend if you like the playstyle. Basic neutral fighter builds (melee/dodge focused) can be quite strong as well, just make sure to have enough strength for whatever weapon you want to use. Personally, I found those builds a bit too boring though. I wouldn't recommend bows as a beginner though. Most other builds that often rely on allies or other damage sources will make it hard for you to level, as you level much quicker if you are the one doing all the damage. Most of these kinds of builds I wouldn't recommend for first playthroughs. Though there is something to be said about going debutante/20 charisma build and getting everyone on your party (at 20 charisma, good/evil aptitude is ignored). Sure the exp is slow, but it is quite fun to bring people in your party that wouldn't normally want to join together.
