How important is money in this game? It seems like the game does a pretty fair job of puking incrementally stronger weapons at me so I feel like I don't need to buy or upgrade weapons any time soon. Can I safely blow it on crafting mats to keep my crafted gear updated, or am I gonna regret being broke later on? I can't think of anything else useful to spend my drachma on, it looks like apart from the blacksmith, it's mostly cosmetic stuff.

But yeah money is easy to come by.

I've been doing that too, but I'd definitely rather just blow money on more mats at vendors than go out of my way to hunt for them...just want to make sure there's not a big money sink coming my way that I'll want to be hoarding for.

Got this game and played about 15 minutes of it before my hard drive died. I wound up uninstalling a ton of stuff on my SSD just to make room for it and it's a blast. I've really been enjoying using the predator bow with the arrow-control ability. It's amazing how much of a difference that made with my otherwise pretty crappy aim. Shortbow is a distant second, but I keep one on hand for after I run out of my precious predator arrows. Hunter and warrior bows seem a little lackluster so far--hunter bow is just an average middle ground between short and pred, and warrior is super awkward to use. I'm trying to get the hang of melee combat. I haven't played anything like the Souls games with block/parry/dodge, so I'm trying to figure out when one should be used over the other. I can't tell if my timing is off, or if there are some attacks that only work with one type of defense or what. I want to play it on hard, but my inability to get the defenses down is messing me up. Also, I ran into my first Phylakes. Jesus. What's their deal, mechanics-wise? I'm around level 12 or so and my go-to of a 1000+ damage predator arrow to the face hit him for single digits. Are they always X levels above Bayek? Or are they like level 40 all the time?

The Phylakes range from like, 20? up to 40, depending on their area. I think it's generally whatever the area lvl range is plus a couple.

For combat, I've found that using the shield parry (it's a skill you have to unlock) even parries the red glowing unblockable attacks from heavies. Since dodging doesn't make you invincible in this game and you have to worry about the direction of the enemy's swing, I'm finding that parrying seems to be the way to go for just about any combat encounter. Heavy swings are extremely telegraphed and pretty easy to counter, and light swings, well, if you miss them, you block them, so no big deal. That or dodging backwards is usually a safe bet. At least so far.

I read that those items scaled with your level so i've been skipping them since picking up the first one. I suppose i should just collect them all and continually throw 4k at them to keep the good ones at max level.

Personal preference but I sure wouldn't put off getting all the fun stuff, there's no lack of gold if you loot. I upgrade the ones I like about every five levels.

I figured I was doing something wrong because any time I dodged, I still would get smacked. I guess the trick is to not dodge.  There's a reason why that's a free ability and shield block costs a point, I guess.

Hit the level cap, killed all the phylakes, did the Anubis thing...and there's still a poo poo ton of stuff to do, I am pleasantly surprised. My skill tree isn't even close to full and even if I fill it up there are the repeatable skills. I kind of wish there were more events like the little player vengeance things, the rogue animals, the rebel attacks, etc. Little dynamic side quests basically. That way there were always things to do after the end game. Those tablet things ensure that you can basically do anything that earns money to level up, and there are lots of ways to make money, so this is not a huge issue, but I'd still like to see more with DLC or something for entirely selfish reasons. PROTIP: For anybody that is wondering if any of the autoloot skills are worth the skill investment, mostly I'd say don't prioritize them with one exception: the loot on melee kill. I got this skill late and I'm kicking myself. It makes material gain and therefore money earning much easier. Need leather? Ride a loving horse through a herd of mountain goats and take a single swipe. One swipe, 15 leather. It also helps with those little caravans that carry materials around. After you kill a guy the loot takes like two seconds to spawn, and that two seconds is long enough for you to get tied up in all sorts of stupid poo poo with his escorts. With autoloot you can two shot him and get the gently caress out of dodge with his materials without messing with his escorts.

Anubis is only around for two more days. Do we know what happens after that? I'm 17 now, so there's no way I will hit 40 before he goes poof.

Well, some of the map is just desert without too much to find out there, so there's not much reason to explore it after you win the game either. but there's also a fair amount of max-level stuff around as well!

Kin posted:What tablet things? While there's loads of ways to make money it seems to come in such small amounts that i never seem to have enough to get what i want from the shops. I think it's tied to storyline progression, not level progression, but around level 37 I started seeing tablets in the shops that you can purchase. They cost 1,000 gold and give 1,000 experience. You can buy as many as you want. It's not a great deal when you still have sidequests available, but I suppose if you've exhausted those or if you want to blitz a level and have cash to spare it is an option. Once you hit 40 you can continue to "prestige" level and gain ability points indefinitely, and at 40 it's pretty easy to make money.
