Detect Hidden is pretty much a must up to at least lvl5. All the additional loot and gold you find pretty much makes Mercantile obsolete - you'll be swimming in gold. :)

Both combined at level 5 at least makes you very rich early on. But you might miss a few dispelling chests and persuasion checks, if you care about those.

[@leeman27534]

detect hidden at least to 3 and then also leveling achemy and sagecrafting is best early on for more ingredients for stuff - respec for blacksmithing new gear a few times and when you're gonna be going around getting trainer bonuses to skills but generally you're good with these (also once those are going good dispelling - that minigame is a bitch and just easier to get it so you can auto do it is best - just skip them until then)

[@thethunderchieftain5464]

@@leeman27534 boy,dispelling is no so bad. You have to practice with low difficulty wards first,and you will get the hang of it. You gotta be careful at Average or above wards,as they contain Dark Sigils(those red mines floating near the glyphs you need to hit and hitting them causes the ward to explode in your face.). If you invest 4 points in Dispelling,Dark Sigils are permanently removed from the game,not to mention that you get additional chances to try again before the protection ward detonates at higher levels,plus the huge bonus you get at max Dispelling(Glyph regeneration time considerably increased).

Don't forget that you can equip new loot from the very first 'you found this loot' window rather than picking it up then going to your inventory. Using alchemy potions to boost skills will also unlock any milestone benefits there, so you can happily save those last two skill points in most of the skills and just make a few potions instead. And this was one of the first games to let you toggle whether your helmet is visible for all those lovely haircuts. (To be fair this is from the original game and the remaster may have moved things around a little)

Detect hidden 5 Sagecraft 8 Blacksmithing 7 I say is the most important in early game (before going to the next city) in that order. IF you do all the mission in the first map, you'll end up in LV20 (or very near) and all these skills. By the time you get blacksmithing at 7, you'll have LOTS of crystals to craft really strong weapons & armor with any element or status ailment you want. Remember to disassemble gear you dont need/want when you start to LV up blacksmithing so you get good parts.

[@princeofsomnia7664]

Crafting isn't necessary in this game. If you decide to min/max you'll end up one hitting everything even on hardest difficulty. And that's not fun unless you like that.

[@Djuntas]

Yea, be warned crafting is broken in the game. Back when I played it I did a full sorcery...I didnt craft much until I was all done with game, then I replaced like all my gear I had and got even stronger...A geared out level 40 full sorcer is broken as hell.

@@beerhigh04 Early game Blacksmithing and Sagecrafting is pointless since the materials you get access to are low tier. Plus Re-Reckoning comes with all the DLC off the bat, which include better weapons/armor.

[@_Koozebane_]

The blink ability changed the whole game for me. It's tougher to master since the timing is different than your standard roll dodge, but if you're used to herding crowds of mobs in order to flank and strike at vulnerable edges of a well shepherded cluster, the ability to move right through crowds is just plain awesome. I have a sneaking suspicion I'll have a very hard time putting down the chakrams this next play through.

[@The_RealDC]

I did the chakras as well, but to make the best out of my stealth rogue build it seems I have to put points into magic too....right now I use daggers and chakras as my ranged...any tips or ideas (I'm digging the poison/bleed set up)

[@thethunderchieftain5464]

If you play on pure Sorcery and reach the Sage destiny,your Blink ability gets an Ice effect(deals Ice damage while blinking through enemies and also slows them). If you play a Sorcery/Finese build at tier 4 your Blink gains Poison effect if I remember correctly(Blinking through enemies poisons them).

[@jonathansoko5368]

For challenge I recommend ignoring alchemy and only using 2h weapons as it forces you to git gud at dodging. All the other weapons are way too fast and allow you to ignore much of the game mechanics

[@futuregenesis97]

This is the only game I bought from a store where I knew nothing about it, the cashier didn't even tell me to buy it. I saw it on the shelf and it was like calling out to me, and when I started playing, I could not beleive how much fun it was. One of my favorite games of all time.

Another thing to note about Dispelling that I learned recently. It actually can act like Persuasion on possessed individuals. I usually level Dispelling to 4 to remove the dark sigils and making Dispelling easier, but when I was doing the last quest of the House of Ballads line I discovered I could dispel her mind control on EVERY member of the House of Ballads, avoiding the fights with each and every one. If they have a little wavy thing around their head, you can dispel that effect to potentially avoid a fight.

[@Yrrej8611]

Everyone I've seen who talks about skills in this game misses the fact that if you're careful with your skills, you can max out just about every skill without the Universalist destinies. 9 skills total, 10 ranks in each. Meaning 90 skill ranks. You start off with 4 ranks (2 in 1 skill, 1 in 2 skills) regardless of whichever race you pick. As you level up, do NOT go above 2 ranks in the 1st tier of skills (the 1st tier is 4 ranks) & do not use your skill books. There are 2 trainers of 1st tier, most of which are located in Dalentarth. Once you reach 4 ranks in any 1 skill (2 from the trainers, & 2 from either your race or through leveling up), you can move onto the 2nd tier (which is 3 ranks). You can put 2 more ranks into the skill as there is only 1 2nd tier trainer (These are located primarily around Rathir & Adessa). Again do not use your skill books here. Once you reach 3 more ranks in any 1 skill (1 from the trainer, & 2 from leveling up. This should bring you up to 7). You are now at the master tier. At this point, you only put 1 skill rank into the skill, as you can now use the skill book to level up another skill rank & find the final tier 3 trainer (Most of which are located somewhere in Klurikon, with 1 located in Alabastra). The math is as follows: 4 Ranks to each Skill from Trainers (4*9 = 36) + 1 Rank to each Skill from Skill Books (1*9 = 9) + 4 Ranks from your Race + 40 Ranks from Leveling Up. 36+9+4+40 = 89, which means that 1 skill will fall short of maxing out without DLC or an item that upgrades a single skill. This is not a difficult thing to do, just so long as you are mindful of your level in relation to your skill points, & do not mind some light retracing of steps to reclaim certain things. (which isn't really that big of a deal as you have to do this for certain quests anyway) There are some pieces of equipment that may boost skills if you find them; not certain on which ones though. DLC that can upgrade includes the Compass of Fate (Which is found in the chest in Gorhart) gives you +1 Persuasion while you hold onto it. & the Legend of Dead Kel have a few master tier trainers that can upgrade Alchemy, Mercantile, & Sagecraft. This also does not include the Fatesworn DLC, which raises the level cap to 50, giving you 10 more skill points, but at the same time giving you access to a new Skill to sink those points into.

Amalur is like a single player mmo with good quests

[@billy_cross5580]

A single player game cannot be an MMO nor can an MMO be a single player game. Those are mutually exclusive terms. I get it though this game feels like it should be an MMO. The world is massive and open with boatloads of Side quests to do with friends that wouldnt in anyway affect your MSQ. Also character bill diversity is more in line with an MMO I mean call single player games let you choose a class but this game let you Mel together any kind of highbred do you want from three classes really.So I agree with you I thought this felt like more of an MMO style game then a single player game but the fact remains that can’t be both they are mutually exclusive terms

Skill trainers and skill books exist and one of the 'classes' gives a bonus to all skills. You can max all skills with a little planning. Also you can respec to meet trainers skill minimums or maximums. So if a trainer can only train level 0-3 of a skill- respec that skill to 0 so you can train all 3 ranks. Save skill books for high skill rank purchases 8+

[@marcosmorbidelli2047]

This is really important. I was hoping it would be addressed in the video.

[@The_RealDC]

So I should save all skill books and the respec?

[@alexblades5218]

Basically when you respec you can only remove the points you added by levelling. If you boost skill past 3 or 6 early you miss out on the cheapest training. Also no trainer exists for the final point so you could save the book for that.

[@luchalujano2729]

Played this for the first time in 2021 on psplus. As an rpg fan I found myself constantly being impressed. Dont sleep on it.

[@neosildrake]

You can easily max out skills with the additional trainers the DLCs provided. I would priorize Sagecraft over Blacksmithing. Armour with empty slots for your gems can be found or bought rather easily. Specific gems however are not so easy to get buy and can cost much more. However, you can personalize a crafted armour/weapon more than a bought one with slotted in gems. Same goes for weapons. It is also way easier to get cheap shards and upgrade them than to get upgraded crafting materials for blacksmithing, even when you break armour or weapons down. Multiple tries might be neccessary to get the best parts. It would have been nice, if they had allowed us to craft accessories as well. Sorting through the MISC section, especially when buying or selling can be tremendously tedious as anything from books to iron pans to blacksmithing materials are listed there. They could at least have made more sections and give us the ability to sort things better. At least they upped the personal chest storage space, but a usable bookcase would have been nice too.

[@Malacite]

I keep seeing all these guides that say merchantile is bad but they couldn't be more wrong. It's absolutely one of the skills you want to invest in early (along with some alchemy to help get herbs and make potions which are BUSTED in the early game) so that you can quickly amass gold - gold that can be spent on Trainers, because using them isn't cheap - about 31k for the 1st two uses (0-3) 45 for the 3rd (4-6) and the final trainer (7-9) is a bit over 50k I believe. An important thing to note is there's also 1 skill book to find for each of the 9 skills, and hold off on using them until you've used every trainer for the relevant skills. Also the points gained from trainers, books as well as your racial bonuses persist even through respecs. Blacksmith and Sagecraft are the only 2 you absolutely need at 10 IMO, but also really aren't necessary at all until at least the midgame as you will find plenty of good gear just from playing.

loved the mixing of destinies a bunch. Hoping that; if possible, they make a sequel with even more options. prolly not gonna happen, but I can dream lol

[@The_RealDC]

Maybe that's why the re-reckoned it lol to see if ppl would play it to make a sequel Let's hope at least 😎😎

[@SomeUnkindledAsh]

@@The_RealDC I was thinking the same thing. It makes sense

[@georgeionescu3974]

Yeah is coming all back to me. Is like a part of my past was deleted, i forgot everthing about this game except that i finished it with a stealth build :D

[@Just_a_Jape]

I love you

[@Arclor]

No shush, he's mine!

[@amrasculnamo7784]

how about me? I need some lovin

[@DjediVibrations]

We love you!

[@cme365]

Very similar to Dragons Dogma but as a solo player no pawns. Played on PS3 was fun.

[@AWAKNOTnCDED]

Love this game so much . Hope we get a sequel. Thank you for this guide ..Subbed

[@salomo7934]

Edit :Best tip is to wait up on investing early game in persuasion lockpicking and detect hidden and blacksmithing. Skill 0-3 These are low tier level trainers and will be locked away if you use those skillpoints yourself and you cant get that back to stack.

[@leeman27534]

you can always just wait till later and respec then go get the trainer skills - there's only one single skill in a given run you can fuck yourself out of one point with - the skill you start with +2 in - if you get the book intermediate and master trainer bonuses before the beginner trainer bonus you can't get it then (because it's now beyond 0-3 base)

[@alanze18]

Also Play this game with a controller it's a lot better and smoother, I am palying with Xbox controller on PC.

[@Thrano]

My tip: Play it on hard at least and very hard if you're well versed in ARPGs. Game's too easy.

[@Thrano]

@THE NEWMAKER Yes, but it's still very easy.

[@davidbice3154]

I see that even Fextralife will forever have St. Hadwyns Beads in their inventory.

[@MrThatsdatdude]

RA Salvador brought me here. Forgotten Realms. Only reason why I play this game because of the story telling in a D&D kind of way

[@Stealth_Gamer92]

If anyone is curious about the Skills each has 4 trainers and one skill book for a total of 5 free points. However it is very important to never read a skill book for a skill you start off with 2 points in as 2 of the 4 trainers only train for tier 1 of the skill, with the other two being a tier 2 & a tier 3 trainer. Also for fellow Rogue/Finess players- bleed makes enemies take more damage from blade weapons(yes that includes Chakrams) and arrows, while poison makes them deal less damage. The debuff values are 33% each unless THQ Nordic changed it. ;)

[@leeman27534]

nah - just don't read the book and get a skill point from a higher tier skill trainer - but even then it's not a big deal because there's a few skills that don't need to be maxed anyway if you use the book or even a med or high skill trainer to get base 3 - you can still use the novice skill trainer - just not with 4 skill points

[@Laroac]

I'm very excited for the new Kingdom of Amalur Re-Re-Reckonig.

[@kaptainkraze1954]

Excellent video, cheers for the tips!

[@drfiv5754]

This game is so nostalgic for me

[@Takadox120]

Their are trainers in game to were you can max out all skills

[@CziffraTheThird]

Where is the main Might trainer? Is their a Might trainer?

[@CziffraTheThird]

Rothir?

[@emanq23]

I wish they would make part 2 on the PS5, make it a mmo it would work, a truly have a great system for a console I miss World of Warcraft LOL

[@dgsalvilla]

imo getting Detect Hidden to 5 is most important. after that you can put a few points in dispelling (for auto dispel, just quick save and load), persuasion (better rewards and story/quest results), and alchemy (chance to get reagents and crafting potions). you don't need high level Blacksmithing, just enough to salvage components is good plus it can be boosted by potions you can craft via alchemy, which also applies to sagecraft. i would even argue that stealth could be more important than mercantile, and lock picking (easy enough). there are trainers and skill books, but be careful coz depending on the race you chose you can lock yourself out of a trainer especially if you use a book early on - at least in the OG.

[@Lord_Poyo]

Aside from Detect Hidden and Persuasion, I think you just listed off every skill that people say to avoid lol

[@maj.peppers3332]

Bruh, blacksmithing and sagecraft are so broken. Once I had them up to like 5 each, I would immediately make a new set of gear once I could, then wouldn't replace it until the next tier (azurite, sylvanite, etc) because nothing ever measured up, not even Epics around my level. At max skill levels, you can become a walking tank, eating damage from trolls for breakfast while dishing out crits every other attack from that +14% crit chance on half your gear. Use a greatsword or warhammer, and you can finish "hard" fights in like 3 swings. It's a pain to grind out all the necessary components, but mah GAWD do you absolutely wreck everything.

[@marknunya3107]

I’m appalled at the lack of play this game receives. It was soooooo good, and yet no one plays, as evidenced by the fact that you didn’t even finish your build guides :(

[@hollowknight9528]

The story of how this game was made is insane

[@billy_cross5580]

This game this weekend free and PS plus and I just got my first look at it I never played it originally and it is a man’s and it is complex and the character Builds Ave seem to be pretty fucking diverse

[@seagrey75]

I played the original version on Steam time ago and I had to stop because of game braking bugs but I really enjoyed it. I'll give it another go.

[@peterfairchild258]

Dispelling is no joke🤯 Been cursed so many times,the healing process has made them rich😉 great video 🤟

[@kodypicard1016]

I just downloaded the game and the new dlc the created 10 years after the games launch I hope the do a remake or a sequel soon

[@TheDaexiled1]

Blacksmithing is a must master skill, you will create ultimate weapons with OP levels and effects

[@findout2655]

I see a lot of people saying crafting is overpowered, but honestly I think it just "pays you off" for investing in it, I was glad the game actually rewards your for crafting something, unlike other RPGs where you craft a badass weapon but then you find a better one in the next boss you kill making your crafting pointless

[@MrDwoods008]

I played to lvl 19 with a might/finesse build and changed to sorcerer and...go sorcerer. I spend like a quarter of the gold repairing after quests. Not to mention absolutely melting everything lol

[@jackiemanuel]

love it man. thanks!

[@Deviljho5]

This was great!

[@PrettyGuardian]

I make it a point of stocking up on lockpicks at the Star Camp every time I go.

[@chrisscott3030]

This was a good game when it first came out. Curt Schilling game company had a hit on its hands.

[@chrisskarzynski9549]

I need back packs and a house!!!

[@chrisknoblauch270]

I loved that game. It felt like a really good Fable game

[@marcdonnellan8730]

Really enjoying playing this again on PC. Although had some issues with crashes, forgot how many side quests there were

[@MadelineMysterious]

One big tip, the biggest of all - if you played this game before, there's no need to buy it again. They barely updated anything of importance that will change your playthrough. I refunded it.

[@JohnDavis-be1sj]

Yeah unless you want to play Very Hard or get the new enemy level system there is no reason to buy it now. However, the new DLC will be nice to get so maybe when the price goes way down.

[@MadelineMysterious]

John Davis I wonder if saves from the original will load in the remaster? Then I might get it all again when prices drop.

[@JohnDavis-be1sj]

@@MadelineMysterious Will old save games work? They might, however only doable via a third-party converter tool (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!), but not in an official capacity on our end, as there are too many risks at play. (From their faq page)

[@MetalNick]

I think it's really stupid that I can have poison resistance at or above 100% in total, and still get diseases from poison. I like this game a lot but some little things like that are really irritating.

[@EVILLOVER01]

I bought this for $10 today, can't wait

[@cmoore1369]

I've had the OG version for 9 years or so. It's better than Skyrim in so many ways. Talk about content... 🤘🖤

[@lozzar1069]

Crafted optimized items always outclass looted items even rare ones dont be afraid to salvage

[@findout2655]

this is true, I wish I knew this earlier, I thought good items were easier to get by investing in lockpicking, detect hidden and dispelling, but honestly getting like 10 in smithing and sagecraft allows you to create REALLY strong gear and it pays off so much
