Ah yes when i press H it brings that up ....

Thanks for clearing that up.

ATOJAR · Oct 24, 2010, 07:56 PM // 19:56

Ok i have other questions! lol

I just noticed my health bar .... There was two new colours ... One colour was like a greeny brown colour?(not purple and yellow like the others)

The other colour i noticed was that my bar started to fill silver/grey from right to left!

The health bar can be different colours, depending on certain adverse effects. Poison and disease make it green.

A grey portion of the health bar indicates a deep wound, a condition that lowers your health by 20%, and reduces healing effectiveness by the same amount.

A grey portion on the energy bar is exhaustion.

Ok i have more questions lol.

1. Is there anyway to tell what lvl somebody is?

2. Sometimes i pick up items of different colours, i.e blue, purple ect, Whats the different colours for?

3. Is there any other way to cycle/select enemy units? I mean apart from mouse clicking, Sometimes theres that much going on in game thats its hard to spot where the mouse cursor is!

Thanks is advance.

Roen · Oct 25, 2010, 06:29 PM // 18:29

1. When you select somebody, the selection will show their class (E/Mo, etc.) and their level.

2. blue=common,purple=uncommon (usually better), gold=rare (usually much better), green=unique (rarest of all and sometimes way better but not always that much better than golds) Some gold drops can be worth a lot of in-game cash.

3. TAB key will cycle through enemy units. "C" key defaults to selecting closest enemy. You can go into options to bind specific keys to different functions to help make it easier.

I thought the highest lvl in this game was 20?

I just bumped into a lvl 22 beastie!?

**Marty Silverblade** · Oct 26, 2010, 08:54 AM // 08:54

There is a level cap for players (20). Monsters do not follow this. You'll begin to face level 24 monsters as standard, and in the very late missions and Hard Mode you'll be facing mostly level 28 foes. Some bosses are level 31, possibly even higher.

The point is that you need to make up for the lack in raw numbers by having better skills and intelligence.

ATOJAR · Oct 26, 2010, 08:57 AM // 08:57

Damn! .... lvl 28! ... What chance do i stand lol.

**Marty Silverblade** · Oct 26, 2010, 09:01 AM // 09:01

It's actually not that hard. As you go along you'll be tweaking your builds and tactics to be able to compete with the higher level foes. Once you know what you're doing the extra levels don't make much difference.

ATOJAR · Oct 26, 2010, 09:43 PM // 21:43

Damn, Ive just bought 4 gold runes, Put all 4 onto 4 different parts of my armour! ... Ive just noticed now that each rune has -75 HP

My health was close to 400! ... Now its 160!

Roen · Oct 26, 2010, 09:50 PM // 21:50

Uh, yeah. At most use only one +3 Superior. The +2 Majors are -35 health each. Don't overdo them either. There's a reason Minor runes tend to be the most popular: +1 with no negatives.

ATOJAR · Oct 26, 2010, 10:13 PM // 22:13

So theres nothing i can do apart from buy new armour?

Xiaquin · Oct 26, 2010, 10:23 PM // 22:23

Upgrades (Runes, Insignias, even Dye) can all be overwritten. Replace the ones you want. The only other option is to use something called a Perfect Salvage Kit (craftable in Eye of the North or purchased from players). Considering the value of superior runes is low, it's just better to overwrite.

bsoltan · Oct 26, 2010, 10:24 PM // 22:24

You can get an Expert Salvage Kit from a Merchant and attempt to salvage a rune from the armour.

HOWEVER there is also the chance that you will salvage the armour, you cannot guarantee that you can salvage the runes and keep the armour.

There are Perfect Salvage Kits, which allow you to guarantee that you salvage what you want. These are available from consumable merchants in Eye of the North, or you may be able to buy one from another player.
