Can somebody help me parse the new modifier in NGU that you can pick up from Perks/Quirks relating to higher level quest items counting for more? The modifier states that the baseline bonus is 1+1per10levels and you can make it better, but wouldn't leveled quest items be worse than individual ones until the point that modifier reads "1+1perlevel" and beyond? Like, what's the game-plan for leveled quest items?

It's a way to compress inventory space if you have too many quest items because you went AFK for 2 hours. So instead of trashing them you merge them and save them for later and have space to actually do the next quest.

Holy poo poo I somehow missed this, and it's a pretty small price at 1500PP too.

Also I just saw the new "Welcome to Evil Mode" perk for a paltry 200PP that adds 200% A/D and an extra 50% drop rate. That's real good!!

It's brand new to 1.0 so don't feel too bad, like everything about this even the fact that leveled quest items do anything more than a level 0 one.

I sincerely wish I could do that and obtain most Quirks in a relatively small amount of time. I ran active quests for about a month to get the 12th accessory slot a few days ago and have gotten ~300QP idling since then :(

I've found it's best to describe cookie clicker. Every time I've done that the person has gone and played Cookie Clicker for several days. Now that they have caught on to the basic concept you can blow their mind with all the other idle games. Make sure you get them talking about a grandma apocalypse in public first. You can now talk about eating books that enslaved ghosts write for you without sounding like you are mad!

NGU feature request: Filter out perks/quirks/wishes for difficulties not yet unlocked (or make filtering optional, defaulting to filtering out not-yet-unlocked stuff). It's both daunting for new players just unlocking a feature, and visually annoying once you're toward the end of difficulty X, but haven't quite unlocked difficulty Y (which is where I'm at -- my highest boss ever was 299 and I'm about 3/4ths of the way to adventure stats high enough to beat EXILE v4). My screen is cluttered by tons of SADISTIC perks/quirks, with a few evil things I can actually acquire hiding in their midst.

The good news is that NGU runs almost perfectly under Linux via SteamPlay. The bad news is that the IAP buttons do nothing.

Or do you have to have enough money in your steam wallet before the buttons will work?

Filtering in general would be great (getting to filter out ones you already have maxed would clear things up so much). Getting to reorder... Perks... helps a bit with those, but since there's not really any consistency to difficulty pricing, it only goes so far. Quirks don't even get that much, and are just all over the place.

Even a minimum default order based on difficulty, rather than the weird chaotic nonsense mess they already have, would alleviate it a fair bit I think.

It does nothing at all, as far as I can tell. Maybe the actual content is coming in a later update?
level seven? where's the +2 from, I didn't find that

...but I did maximally improve every spell and every action, yes including Sublimate Lore, that I have access to

Still can't get to the dungeon that requires 30 planar lore and I still inevitably lose fights to, among other things, Archons and Ancient Vampires, but that seems unavoidable

This doesn't even seem remotely possible, I can't get above 21 unless there's some stuff locked away that I have not found. I guess I could re-run all the dungeons I ran before and see if they unlock anything? The lack of a real changelog makes me not care too much about trying to progress, I just refresh the page every so often and see what it auto unlocks for me. Skills take days to level up at this point unless I am using focus, and none of them seem to reward anything at the 20/25 breakpoints.

Also as for level 7 of the new skill, you get +2 from Thaumaturge

This is probably the first thing i'm adding in an update, post-steam. a total revampled system to both filter out and sort perks/quirks/wishes by popularly asked criteria. Just got to figure out the least jank UI i can add in.

Theres a couple of display bugs with the new NGU

Particularly when you mouseover the hot pants from radlands, the tooltip box goes off the screen. The top of the tooltip box is flush with the top of the icon for hotpants, instead of being e.g. centered vertically, so it goes off screen, regardless of resolution.

Perhaps not a bug but still pretty weird; when you increase the resolution the text increases size as well, making it kinda pointless to increase the resolution

Not sure I get the 2nd one - for some people with high res monitors the game window is too tiny so they bump up the resolution to make the window as a whole and everything in it bigger. If text stayed the same size it would still be unreadably small for them.

At any rate the resizing happens at the unity engine level.

That does that? Explains why my max crafting is 37, I was genuinely curious.

(also the new memorized spell mechanic is real drat good, I can actually win fights now that I have this new Drain Life spell and also six other memorized spells)
