I used to run a tidy profit, I was basically post-scarcity for money and village upgrades. Every new level 0 got every skill bought, and at level up I'd buy every upgrade because gently caress trying to remember what skill is what or how "m going to end up using that character. Pre big update I had around 300k in the bank and everything upgraded. After 10 weeks or so playing i'm down to about 100k. I'm not only not making a profit but I'm rapidly loosing my savings.

But my old strategy was to go into every dungeon with like 100 food and make sure everyone was max healed between each fight...

change your strategy

At least the Crusader can still heal / stress heal others, even if he can't hit ranks 3 and 4. Leper is just kinda meh.

leper would be great if only the front 2 spots existed

Not quite, at max levels the Houndmaster's stress heal only has a 66% success rate, so it's really not something to rely on.

I dislike the occultist more and more as a high-level healer. The variance on his healing + the bleed (when it happens) can absolutely gently caress you. There's also a ton of situations where having a guaranteed aoe party heal to drag people off death's door is way more valuable.

There's seriously very little more frustrating than having your veteran level occultist heal a dude for 0 or 1

but then he crit heals for 30 and confidence surges

Camping is the key. Although the only time I was able to do it was with a Crusader whose camping ability is actually boosted by being afflicted. Afflictions also vanish when they get back from the Abbey or Tavern even if their stress isn't healed to zero.

afflictions go away in town once the characters stress goes below 100

In town anyway, right? To get them to go away before returning to town, you have to drop stress to 0, no?

correct, but if an afflicted party member comes back to town with less than 100 stress they'll instantly lose their affliction

I was pretty sure about how afflictions go away but you seemed to make some sort of sense and I think I saw sources elsewhere supporting it. But when I loaded up my game, I noticed my latest Arbalest off the wagon has this status.



I know I've seen this before because I've often had multiple crits calming afflicted guys down below 100. I don't ever remember not having to get rid of an affliction when I got back to town but I've never left someone with below 100 stress and an affliction to see if they just get better by next week without the Tavern or Abbey. A bug maybe?

huh might need a week of being below 100 in town before the affliction goes away, could have sworn it was otherwise

why does a blacksmith even need deeds?

is he busting up old houses for raw materials? does he use the paper as kindling to start his fires?

One time I had two guys in my party with the quirks Curious and Compulsive (respectively) who came across a Shambler's Altar while the group was heavily injured with no way around it. Slowed my march to a crawl until it was obvious it hadn't triggered, breathed an enormous sigh of relief, then made my way forward.

There was another one a few halls later. :suicide: Didn't go off either but I've never had a more intense hall trek.

iirc forced curio interactions don't use items and that requires a torch to get the party started
