i always found bows to be pretty lacking. they compare well to the guns you can buy in stores, but are even worse than the craftable guns. daggers are good for backstabbing, if you're untrained in the skill. meaning less than expert training. otherwise you could just use a claymore to backstab ...

As far as i know most of the "ultracooloverpowered" items you can create can also be found ingame and some better ones (especially one armor for small tech chars *g*). And why going to have a gun when you can have a bow or why using an Arcane Sword when a crappy dagger will do the same (or better ...

Are bullets hevyer than arrows? One of my builds uses a bow (more powerfull than a gun but ...) and I carry about 500-1500 arrows; 10 Strength.

Also you don't really need a meele weapon as far as I can tell (using a bow).

Hi, I'd like to create a primarily charismatic talker that is also proficient with tech and firearms. Therefore I'd be grateful for any advice with regards to character creation and progression. Aside from general advice, I'm especially interested in the following:
1. I understand that you need ...

Also just spend 2 points into blacksmith, more points are not worth because you will get much stronger armors and weapons without blacksmith.
Even the Balanced Sword can be powerful at the beginning.

Perhaps you can invest two(?) points into electric to get 2 charged rings, they will push your ...

Me too but as I said, there are ways to get them without building them.
I read in another threat that you play as a dwarf. -> Iron Clan Armor, which is the best tech armor in the game and it looks like a machined plate.

Ahhh that armor isn't worth to spend so much points that you can build it. There are other ways to get that or if you are a small char (dwarf, halfling, gnome) a even better one

- Have you installed the latest official patch? If not try this but it won't be save game compatible.
- Leave the location and sleep a day perhaps now they're there.
- Load an older save game and look if the bug happens again.

Mithril Ore can be found in the Dredge (Wheel Clan) or in Quintarra ...

Take a hammer or axe and destroy the chest or the lock. Steal everything and sell it ... save before stealing

Also he could read the manual

I just know, that the unarmed damage of Orcs and Ogers was(?) wrong calculated.

But it is foolish to spent points imto strength. Spent them into dexterity and use a fast weapon. Damage is equal.

They're sold by general store clerks e.g. [url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/arcanum/walkthrough/tarant.php"]here (number 5)[/url].

Bring the Durin Stone back and if Magnus is your follower he will be surprised because the Iron Clan is the clan he tells you about.
And most Quests can be done with every char if you know how.

If you just want his ship: Steal his items and kill him

Not if you're master
I always play with max Dex and the few points in Pick Pocket to become a master are a good invested (in my opinion).

I just finished playing two games as a Gnome Technologist and here are my observations:

I chose gnome this time because they start with 2 points (1/2 CP) in haggle. This means that you can become a Haggle-Expert (and sell almost anything to anybody) with alot less character points. Normally, to ...

Iron Clan Armor, War Gauntlets (if you don't attack with your fists)

Np :)
The normal resolution is 800x600, with the patch it is 1024x768. And it is not includet in the UAP. Drog said, that it woudn't work with the last UAP, but some tested it and it worked ... so.
I use the latest german version (equal to the next to the last english one) of the UAP and it works ...

At the moment a halfling with troll-offspring, dex 22, dodge master, meele master, backstab master, prowling master, pick pocket master; spot trap apprentice, using the spell "hasten", no followers.
I use some "arcane" stuff and the finger of mannox, the dagger of speed/the sword you get in the pit ...

Ah bah. Arcanum is easy. You can create powerfull tech or magic chars, or mix up both things and become even more powerfull ;)

First of all, you should use the Unofficial Patch and the High-Res-Patch, wich make the game better to play: fewer bugs and better overview.

If you play Arcanum the first ...
