Bit too deeply enmeshed to remember how I unlocked the skills, but for ghost summoning you need
Spirit lore + Air lore

I'm in the same boat as you, hella Spiritual and Divine but some humble element is holding me back. Also it's fairly buried in there, I'm 3/5 and nothing yet.

FAKE EDIT: 4/5 is where you need to hit.

EDIT: Orrrr not, that one isn't as interesting.

AIR-OR EDIT: Oh geez this is going to take some time.

Something I just noticed that's important: Make sure to hit up every possible home you get because some have unique actions/furniture that carry over to other houses but only unlock at that specific site.

See, I've been dabbling in all the primary elements but Air was what I left for last. At least I have a self-sustaining codex industry now. :iia:

After more testing: For T1 at least you shouldn't pick anything besides Magician or Witch right now. The others are very barebones and don't seem to have anything special like those do.

Notably: Magician has upgrades for money and a special academy that has 300 floor space. Witch has two special islands that require 2000 research but have 400 and 420 space and a bunch of minion slots.

The T2 I've seen so far are Enchanter and Seer

E: Note that I haven't gotten the evil variants so can't comment on those.

I don't get how to do crafting or potions or whatever. I went for the Scribe specialization but for instance my Crafting is at like 7 and I have the workbench and everything. Is a specific new tab supposed to open up? Feels like I'm missing something major.

So, does the bestiary do anything other than show monster stats? There are buttons to buy monsters, but none of the home furnishings seem to let me buy a pet rock. I haven't slayed my master ended my apprentishship yet, I'm just maxing out what skills I can for the time being.

Reset the whole thing, had reached a fair bit in but I still couldn't make potions or craft or whatever, feels like you can get locked out or something otherwise this makes no sense.

So the unlocks for potions are odd, because you think Herbalism giving you potion unlocks means that's the direct skill to brew them. It's actually buried two levels deeper (Alchemy->Potions) and even then it's sort of a poo poo skill. Craft just adds more Furniture and Unlock opportunities, not actually making things directly.

Before I do anything, I think, well what hasn't been seen. Sometimes, that turns out to be something ghastly and not fit for society. And sometimes that inspiration becomes something that's really worthwhile.

There's also spirit spell that gives .001 skill points per second among other things. You can also leave pace running overnight and come back to 2 or 3 skillpoints.

Pacing gives skill points, though very slowly. There's also a spell from the Spirit line that gives skill points very slowly.

Because part of this fun of this game is unlocking things and going holy gently caress what do I even do with this? Then just trying to figure out a use for it and when you finally do, well it's a game about being a wizard and starting out earning enough coin for your apprenticeship. It's a very strange journey. And it's poor taste to spoil an idle game that is about the journey and not the numbers.

You wouldn't spoil the ending of paperclips now would you? No! You spoiler tag that poo poo SPACE

Big hint: you can assign focus to multiple shortcut keys to make it much easier to dump your mana into it.

Wish I'd noticed this ages ago.

So, there's this D&D idle game that released on PS4 yesterday. Apparently its been out for months in other territory. Any tips? So far I don't see what you'd ever give them actual money for.

also I quit the game because gently caress the sheer amount of stuff to juggle

God I hope I unlock an autocast at some point. I have way too many spells I want to keep up all the time. Autofocus would be great also.

In better news my evil reign continues and I have moved into my own personal castle. Tons of room for corpses now!

Yeah it's great - the way skill points work means you're ending off going off in a particular direction depending on whim, rather than a lot of idle gaes which have a clear direction to go in.

Is there a reset/prestige mechanic? I feel like I bungled bigtime by picking the herbalist job right at the getgo, it appears to do nothing all that useful.

Cinara
Jul 15, 2007
No but from what I can tell there's only one choice Choosing to kill your master or not that you can make that actually locks you out of anything major. Class choice, especially that early is mostly just for flavor, later choices will determine what other classes you can unlock though.

I played it on android for a bit, it's bad really really bad. It's a reskin idle lost crusader style idle with formations. It's even more money demanding than the original too. It's a bad clone.

Unless you mean one of the other 3 recent free DnD games which have also been massive cash grabs with little to no fun unless you avoided theborigonal game ita based on. And even then go play that instead.

I say this as someone who was very big into DnD lore in high school and know most of the characters in these games.
