Levantine posted:Yes, you absolutely can and it's pretty great to do so. Why would you revive a healer to use its ability to revive another card?  The only use I can think of is to play Yen and make her revive that Northern 5 strength medic.

GrossMurpel posted:Why would you revive a healer to use its ability to revive another card? Reviving a healer with a healer lets the second healer revive yet another card. Healers are primarily second round plays but you can chain some together for card advantage. EDIT: Yes, that's the main use in a Northern Kingdoms deck. Use Yen to revive the 5 str medic. It's just another way to get another card back on the board.

Pig quest starts at Lurtch, in Velen. Missing Miners is from a Notice Board somewhere in Skellige. I think its in Ard Skellig, but I can't recall. More Gwent Tips: Biting Frost plus Villentren-whateverthefuck is a wonderful combination, especially against melee-heavy monster decks. Let your opponent use play all of his melee monsters, make sure there are at least 10 (very possible). Play Biting Frost, play the dragon, everything on the opponent's melee line is destroyed.

I've completely ignored gwent because there's so much other cool stuff to do that playing a card game just didn't seem that appealing. Yesterday I played a mission where I had to play Gwent for a man's life. I figured that even if I failed I'd probably get a chance to save him with my swords instead. Nope. I guess I'd better play a bit in case this comes up again.

Drunk witchers scene was just unbelievable. Laughing out loud through it all. They captured the essence of falling down drunk stupidity perfectly. I worry about their livers though. From the empties it looked like they drank enough vodka to kill a dozen horses.

Geralt bugging people to play cards with him at the most inappropriate times is part of the fun... and probably canon, I ran off to play cards with the blacksmith on the way to the skellige feast and Yen actually got annoyed.

If I'm playing someone with a Monsters deck (which in my opinion is by far the most annoying to play), what I like to do is keep weaker cards that don't link (like Dragon Hunters do for example) in my hand instead of swapping them out and then just play the weak cards to coax them into playing the first round to win and just throwing it. Nothing better than watching a Monster deck play a million Arachas, its Crones and getting a good 80 on the board, throwing the round and then steamrolling it for the next two because it has nothing left. Also, gently caress Bernard Tulle. He's basically the only card player in the game who's actually programmed to play like a player might do and always seems to have the best card in his hand to gently caress you over at any given time. Gwent's largely predictable and easy to win, but he feels like he's "reading inputs" or the card game equivalent to a degree.

Exmond posted:Because basic math?

Sure, if you're going to use one of your two healers in the second round anyway, you may as well revive it in the third. It's even better if you play someone else in the second round and revive two things in the third round. The only thing it really gets you is the point value of the healer in both rounds, at the cost of the revival in the third round.

It's a situational strategy you can't always rely on but will come in very handy at times.

The only thing it really gets you is the point value of the healer in both rounds, at the cost of the revival in the third round. Or... You're trying to bait the first round, you play a few low cards and then a high value card. Round 2: play medic 1 to bring back that high value card. Round 3: play medic 2 to bring back medic 1 AND then that high value card. Assuming you don't have zero point medics (piss off, scoia'tael!) it's a win/win. Medics are pretty situational based on your drawn hand, though--just play them the best you can.

If you use a healer and you have other retrievable healers in your discard pile then what reason is there to NOT pull them first before pulling whatever other card you want to retrieve? It just makes sense to go through the healers first to add more score to your board.

OAquinas posted:Or... yeah but you can also just: Round 1: play high value card Round 2: play some other high value card Round 3: revive both high value cards If those high value cards have effects on them, you now get both of them twice instead of just the medic and the 1 twice. It also leaves both your medics as free to use for other stuff in round 3 - if the opponent plays two spies in round 2 (after you play one medic), you only get to play one of them with your way, but get both in mine. I guess yours lets you play some card 3 times, which is funny if it's like, the scorch dragon. I'm sorry for the theory-gwenting and I will stop now.

Saving healers until round 3 as rule is a waste too though. Say you're using Northern and your linking catapults get scorched before you get both up, you can use one to bring it back, finish up the link, win the round and then use the heal chain in round 3 to get that 20 score described earlier in the next round.

How do decoctions work? Are they permanent bonuses or are they taken like regular potions? I've made a few but not sure when / why to apply the bonuses. Some of them sound permanent.

Some of them sound permanent. They are like potions but last much longer (about 30 minutes with no points in alchemy), and they increase toxicity by a great deal so you need to invest in that talent that raises your threshold if you want to use more than one or some potions along with it.

This has probably been asked a million times already, but after the hope it has been edited into the OP was dashed I had a quick scan and couldn't find it: Is there a list anywhere for which merchants will pay highest for different items? (The first herbalist in the game paying well for Honeycombs, for example). I like the idea of riding around doing the best I can for the recovery of the financial markets of Rabid Dog country.

Okay that makes sense - so a decoction that regens HP for 30 minutes is obviously better than a Swallow that does 20 seconds and needs to be topped up which brings up toxicity even more. Will need to pay closer attention to the potions skill tree from now, I think.

The decoction isn't as good as Swallow in that the regen is worse. That's the trade off for the longer duration. If you're low health in a fight, Swallow will still be useful because it stacks the regen.
