I actually didn’t realise that! Thank you so much for sharing. I did wonder during my playthroughs why so many of my fights had reinforcements. Thank you again! Pinning your comment so everyone is aware 😊

Only the Crossbowman class can equip a crossbow. This is a new class that was provided for free and is part of the base game. When you start a new game, choosing the 'Brother-in-army, Legion retirees' destiny will ensure you have a Crossbowman in your starting army. If you aren't starting a new game, you will have to keep checking the taverns and jails for a Crossbowman you can recruit. I hope this helps! 😊

Thanks heaps for sharing! I haven’t started Skelmar yet but this is great info ☺️

I haven't explored Skelmar yet but am planning too soon so thank you for sharing this! 😊

Thanks for the feedback. I haven’t watched or read any guides as I want it to be based on my understanding of the game and class. And you’re right, I’ll change the titling to better reflect it’s just a normal guide. Thanks again! 😊

LoL, what a really great constructive criticism, you should definitely make a ranger guide 😇😇

😂

I can attest that it is definitely very annoying! 😂 but I found using pitons liberally and occasionally using influence points on the troop banner to ensure the guards aren’t chasing you before the next rest to be very useful strategies haha

Great question. A delicious dish is just an upgraded / better version of a dish that can be sold for a higher price. A delicious simple dish is a better version of a simple dish with are the dishes that only require 2 ingredients which is pretty much salt plus one other ingredient. You also have combined dishes, feasts and desserts. Combined dishes are dishes that require 3 or more ingredients (also known as cooked meals) while feasts are made from 2 or more cooked meals. You can find out which dishes are are cooked meals, feasts and desserts by hovering over any of the dishes and it comes up in blue text towards the bottom. I hope this helps! 😊

@ thank you very helpful. So it make sure I’m not messing it up; Simple dishes: Bread, Grilled pork, Wolf Sausage. Delicious Dishes: are anything that considered cooked meal. I understand stand Feast and Dessert.

Almost there. You basically have the following type of dishes: - simple: per the examples you’ve provided - cooked meal: those requiring 3 or more ingredients that is not a feast or dessert - dessert - feast Any of the above dishes has a chance to be a delicious dish 😊

@@SapiensPeace thank you brotha 🍻

The type of people you can hire from the tavern will change so keep visiting it and hopefully you find one. The other place would be the jail. You can also hire a companion there. The difference is they cost more gold but no influence points while tavern hires requires gold and influence points ☺️ I hope this helps!

@@SapiensPeace yeah bro thank you, this makes sense.

Hey mate, for traits I normally choose Bloodthirsty for the extra crit % but Strong is also good for more Str. Definitely don’t choose Clever or Hardworking since it becomes useless once you hit the level cap. Also, I normally only choose 1 positive trait because choosing 2 forces you to then have 1 negative trait. If you want to choose 2 positive traits then I would suggest choosing Loafer as the negative trait. Profession wise, if you haven’t unlocked blacksmith, u can go for tinkerer for the added crit %. But once you’ve unlocked blacksmith I’d suggest going for the extra Str. Are there any other starting choices I can help with?

@@SapiensPeace Thanks mate ! Now the problem I dont know what to focus at start ;S Should I try to focus blacksmithing to creat good items and then with items and stuff try to beat enemy parties? Or try to survive with spending least amouınt of gold and try to purchase good early items (If there are any worth to buy from vendors) Can you share me your strategy ? Also which party you start with and is this (swordsman) your main focus early game or at low levels you pritorize some other class like ranger to pass certain enemy groups ?

​@@SapiensPeace I searched a bit. Find some answers to my questions :D 1.Best Starting Traits : %3 Crit, %5 Str or Dex , Best Debuff -%5 Exp Gain. 2.Early Game explore stables, town, Jail and tower. With your firt 5 knowledge points first 3 skills to pick , Career Planing, Smooth Talker, Fast Training. Career is for leveling characters with double points at desired attribute.(Dont level up your party before taking it) Fast Traning is for newly recruit companions to have extra ap.(Dont recruit new members before taking it) 3.Attribute wise :1. Will or Movement(which one got bonus during level up , rng) 15 will , 14 or 16 movement 2. Crit Put all points into this but late game some items skills make this even redundant.(e.g. 45% from armor layers, 25% of the path of chaos, 5% from armor, 2% from helmet, 3% from bloodthirst trait, 20% from Brutus skill, 5% from duelist trait ) In that case respect and put all the remaning points to str or dex) 4.For Professions Cook Miner, Thief and Tinker, Agi , woodcutter ,are the ones you should always have 1 active for easier gameplay.(food and crafting) Blacksmith, Alchemist and other require you to be in town so dont need to have on main party.) Stat bonus wise unless crit chance is high enough with items and skills best profession is "tinkering."(12 Crit) But if crit is already near %100 perrcent Str increasing and Dex increasing ones (Blacksmith, Thief etc) should be picked. 5. Buying chains and capturing fugitives is an solid source of early income. 6.For classes Swordsman -> Fighter or Duelist Ranger -> Assassin (You need to do couple of quests to activate it)-> Poison (for early levels, throw poison and runaway) Archer-> Hunter or (Didnt decide yet Infantary or Marksman) Brute -> Destroyer or Smasher are the better specializations for startup party. 7.To get the best recuits take fast traning feat save before entering town , try to get the one with high will power with crit, str or dex buff and with desired class and skills, proffesion not important If you dont like the recruits load your save , find a roving merchant talk with it then save the game and then reenter so that recruit pool would change. Now the basic stuff is done my next search is for 1.most snergetic party. ( Some skills interract with each other well(Harpooner Piercing Throw + Assassin Right between the Eyes) and some speacializations have nice area effets to cover others (Suppressive Fire, Spearman Skills etc.)) 2.Best Fighter/Duelist, Destroyer/Smasher, Assasin,Hunter/Marksman builds.

You did a great job with your research! It's definitely more comprehensive than what I had in mind. Sorry for the delayed response - being sick is a pain 🤣 enjoy the game! And don't forget to try the Crossbowman class

@@SapiensPeace Get well soon Mate ! Your build rocks by the way. Only sockets would be different with Mhir brooch that has 15 crit chance with only armor you can get %45 crit chance. And shield could be Alazarian Header Shield. Using unstable oil wtih Unstable oil concentrate belt is really cleaver. Since its Fighter you dont items that gives immunity or ignore guard bonuses. In general Fighter and Vanguard and Destroyer are S tier. For damage I think strongest is Warrior Berrseker with Enlil's Great Axe. Also for best merc its Solitary/Cooperative and Strong (If you find such merc level it up you could easliy do 1.2k damage per swing ) Now that thanks to youtubers like yourself I have an endgame plan and builds. Late game 1 fighter 1 vanguard 1 destroyer 1 berserker with proper items can take out 30+ enemies easily. But to speed things up you can add Hunters etc. For early game I still need to find a solid team composition. At level 8 Ranger (Cutthroat) can kill enemies 1 by 1 as long as It creats enough damage to kill 1 enemy with Frenzy skill. Still got 2 questions :S 1.At the start until level 5 or 8 maybe , I still need a good party composition. I mean you play with anything and level up but I want find the smoothest party setup :S For less repair faster team fight is it better to have rangers and/or archers instead? or 2 tanks with 2 archers or 1 tank 2 berserkers with 2 handed weapons , or 4 rangers etc. Whats your opinion and your starting party till level 8 ? 2.And also since its easy to reach %100 crit chance with path bonuses, runes and food. I want to know best ways to increase Crit Damage , other than crit stat , food bonuses , strength bonus to crit damage. I didnt find the best way to make more damage, is it better to have more str or should I give more points to crit stat just to reach higher crit damage I wonder ? Edit : I forgot about crossbowman class. It sure is strong late game but is it also good for starting party ?

You’re welcome and thank you as well for your kind words and support! Enjoy the game 😊

@@SapiensPeace Very nice to have come across your channel, and thanks again for explaining what is in the DLC.

You are most welcome 😁

Thank you 😊 If you’re trying to take down tough single targets, definitely! Just be careful that there are certain enemies that will retaliate (even if the enemy is engaged with an ally) if you proc a crit hit. Given pugilists’ specialty is multi-hit, this can sometimes cause heart attacks haha. Same for Rangers since they can be squishy ☺️

Oh and check out my Swordman guide if you haven’t already. That will explain why they seem strong 😁

@@SapiensPeace I had already have one Swordsman follow your guide but still level 7 😅 and waiting for your next character guide.

Thank you. I’ll definitely have 1-2 by the 1st week of Jan ☺️ have a safe and wonderful holiday!

@@SapiensPeace Thank you. I hope you have a wonderful holiday as well.

He still scares me to this day… PTSD 😂

Great question! To be honest, counter attack is still viable since you get more dmg from Fury and still obtain Inspiration for mobility. But an alternative could be Bulwark which would reduce the dmg u take and increase the dmg of your next attack but at the cost of mobility 😊 I hope this helps

Thank you! Tbh, I thought it was but wasn’t too sure. Thank you again for confirming! Pinning this post so ppl know ☺️

Definitely. I was actually halfway through another class when crossbowman got released. I will get back to it and release more class guides. Thank you for your support! 😊

That’s great to hear! 😊

Thank you ☺️

I've seen a few builds that are pretty strong in different ways. Do you have an offensive build that is strong?

😂 I’m with you there

Also the special food, that you also get IRW :D how do you get them?

Are you referring to seasoning? If yes, then you automatically get them when you pick up flowers or mushrooms in the world 😊

When you add one of the specialties to your menu, you automatically get a serve of it in the real world after a rest 😊 the first specialty is automatically unlocked for you and it’s a crème brûlée.

@@SapiensPeace Ahh okay thx, and the rest recepies you need to steal?

@@SapiensPeace Yah seasoning :) But how do i use them in the taven or will it auto do that?

Thank you! ☺️

It does make it easier but i wouldn't say too easy. While the free tavern food does give you a buff in combat, it's not too significant. On the higher difficulties, the battles are really about tactics, equipment and build.

In my experience it helps a lot to cover for the party expenses especially when you play with really small party of 2 like I do now but apart from the maintenance help it doesn't change a lot. So I would say it lowered the grind for me and let me focus on what I want and not to be stressed about food/money in early game.

Depends on your playstyle, preference and troop composition. I personally like swordies cause they are impervious to poison, bleeding and burning. Give both a try and see which one you prefer. U can always bench the one u don’t like, turn them into a prisoner or fire them 😁

Definitely an option as well! Thanks for sharing and watching! ☺️

Thank you for the tips! I’ll definitely give this a go 😊

Not for the swordsman build I run because the purpose of this build is for each swordsman to kill a few enemies in a single turn. Bleed on the other hand requires two turns to take effect. In saying that, bleed is pretty good against enemies that are tanky (lots of hp or armor).

@@SapiensPeace Got it - thanks!

Unfortunately I only have the swordsman build at this point. I fell in love with swordsman and hence played with it heavily in Season 2. But in Season 3 (currently ongoing) I will be playing the other classes in more detail so will release guides for them in the future ☺️ As for Arthes, if you’re level 9, it should be fairly easy since the enemy levels are between 4-5 unless you’re fighting the guards? The other thing to check is are you playing on adaptive exploration? If you are, then the number of enemies and enemy level scales with yours 😁

@@SapiensPeace I don't have problem with Arthes, but I am worried about the future when I will be playing enemies on-level and they will outnumber me greatly! ;)

That makes sense! I had that fear as well when I first played. If it gets too overwhelming, try dropping the difficulty one notch and then take the time to refine your combat strategies. Once it’s more comfortable, u can easily increase the difficulty again 😊 have fun with the game!

Pride, pride, my friend! :) I'd not want to drop from the Expert difficulty, even if I were a newb. I'd like to see your other builds; post them, please! ;)

Haha, I can relate to that. Thank you for your support. I’ll definitely release more build guides 😊

Thank you for watching! And sorry for the late response. I didn’t notice your message 😬

Thank you so much for letting me know! ☺️

That’s an interesting idea! Any suggestions on the best way to farm Salazar Shields?

@@SapiensPeace farm drombach guard and use bear stew 15% equipment drop

Thank you! I’ll definitely try this out ☺️

Sorry for the late reply. I had to re-watch Season 2 to find out where I got it. I believe it's random from fishing spots (that you only access from your boat) in the Belerion Archipelago. I managed to get one near the middle of the archipelago in Ep 80 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp-8Zmx4jMuAZ6M) around the 38:20 minute mark. I hope this helps!

That’s fair enough. I do plan to play around more with the other classes especially archers. The headshots are extremely satisfying haha. Just need to find the time :)

@@SapiensPeace Yeah Archers are awesome, they got very good ultimate ability. Every class has something going for them. Ranger - almost unlimited move potential and great damage (some offhands ale very powerful for AoE damage). Pikeman - interrupts any enemy move (including bosses), Brute - even more tanky tank, can be bult sith counter when disengaging as well; Warrior executioner - awesome AoE damage deleting 3-5 units in two moves. Pugalist - crazy single target damage, most boring of them all but his ult deletes bosses... I think all of them are interesting and fun to play, with pikeman very situational, but when the situation happens he is irreplaceable

You are stirring up the excitement in me to start Season 3 of Wartales and play with this other classes in more detail haha. Thanks for the info and excitement! 😊

You're most welcome and thank you!

Thank you!

It's a passive from the Helm of Legends heavy helmet that I obtained from the Arena of Legends 😊

Enjoy the game and thank you for watching! 😊

You are most welcome 😊 I hope you enjoy it! Have fun!

That is a lot of useful information! Thank you so much! I'll be sure to incorporate this in my next playthrough.

Is the stamp on the helmet called "Enhanced Visibility" by any chance?

@@brendel90 yes

Sorry I missed your comment. It didn't pop up in my notifications somehow. That's a very handy tip! Thanks for sharing 😊

I am glad you're having fun!

Thank you for the feedback ❤️. I have tried it but not extensively with this build. I'll probably give this a go if I were to play another season of Wartales 😊

@@SapiensPeace well, cant wait to see it. Keep doing what ur doing man

Saran dari gua bang farming alazar Shield OP parah itu Shield kalo musuh nyerang malah kena counter attack 😂

I've just tested this again using multiple scenarios (0 wanted level; companion with thief profession; 4 wanted level) and it doesn't seem to work anymore. I also went through the patch notes and there doesn't appear to be anything about this. If anyone knows of the reason or how to get this to work please do let us know! Sorry I can't help you more @Nathanwalach

They are pretty cool... the multiple hits is sweet 😊

It sure does!

I spoke too soon!
