Cheat Item Replication

-----------------------
Left click on any goods/merchandise (preferably the cheapest one). You'll have selected 
the item to put it in your inventory. But instead of putting it in a empty slot put it 
on a pre-existing item in your inventory (preferably the most expensive one). You will 
have a replication of that item you clicked on. 
Note: This won't copy the enchantments, but will generate a randomly enchanted item.

Submitted by: tuong trang

* When you stand under (or above) another platform where you can see a bunch of monster
  (mobs), and its open for you to use far range shot, press shift+ attack move you want,
  this make you using your skill from the upper (or lower) platform, without actually 
  encounter mobs. This can be done with most far range attacks (esspecially alkemis's 
  skill).

* The pre mission done can be easily done by using doublycate glitch: play one character 
  throught thestory easy mode, double up the mssion item, then put it in shared stash. 
  Then create another one, and take the mission item out, and give it to the mission 
  giver, instance item! (remember NOT to pick up the real mission item in tha second 
  char story, or you can NEVER get rid of it).

Portal that takes you to a new level with lots of overpowered enemies to face (similar 
to the cow level in Diablo II).

it is open for you to use a far range shot, press [Shift] + [Attack Move]. You will use

This can be done with most far range attacks, especially Alkemis' skill.

Tips and Tricks:

Things to Know Before Playing

To make the game more enjoyable, there are three mods you should get: “Potions Stacksize 
Mod”, “Items Always Identified”, and “The Total Respec Mod”.

Play on hard even on your first time through. It’s an incredibly easy game on Normal 
and below.

Skills suffer from not improving fast enough as your weapons and attributes become 
better. As a Vanquisher, I ignored every skill that had a raw damage increase (it 
will say something like 50% weapon dps + 100 damage or something like that) and instead 
took everything that increase via percentages. The first skill I got is the one where 
you swing your weapon in a wide arc and at level 5 I was doing 1,200+ damage before 
reaching the first boss.

If you play on hard be prepared to tear your hair out during the last 7 dungeon levels 
when you start fighting Dark Zealots. They can hit you with a ray before you even see 
them and it deals like 1,500 points of damage. They also shoot homing poison bolts and 
even though my poison resistance was 200+ those things still did like 750 points of 
damage a pop. The town portal spell became my best friend.

Everything monsters drop is almost universally garbage but your most powerful items 
come from enchanting. Find an item you really, really like, sell everything else, then 
enchant the hell out of it. There’s a miniscule chance of completely breaking the item 
but this literally happened once to me in the entire game and it wasn’t really a big 
deal.

If you want the most powergamey build, go Vanquisher. Pump explosive shot and anything 
that bumps up damage done by explosive shot. Find a rifle with a fast firing speed and 
the highest range and upgrade the hell out of it. If you get short of money, when 
you’ve maxed out your barter skill you can buy and sell the basic potions at a profit. 
Use summon spells as meat shields when things get hairy. Also don’t be afraid to use 
potions as much as possible.



Very Hard Difficulty Mode Tips:
-------------------------------
For a Vanquisher, explosive shot is good skill, spam it and blow things up. A Haste 
scroll is a great spell, it really help you kite. Defensive Spell Mastery will help 
extend the buff so you don’t have to constantly recast. For cheese, you can toss 
Flechette traps inside rooms and let them kill things while you hang back out of 
Line of Sight (good for dealing with nasty threats).

For Very Hard difficulty you can try grinding previous content for more exp. Outleveling 
the content helps a lot. Don’t use random maps from vendors, instead go back to old 
content in mines and clear quickly. The floors will reset after you clear a certain 
number of floors and you still get good exp from quickly grinding these lower level 
floors. I usually avoid Phase Portals, it’s always scaled to your level which can be 
nasty in Very Hard (never ever go into one on Hardcore Very Hard).

Use gold to enchant your gear (keep backups in case of item wipes) and gamble/vendor 
shop for upgrades. Gambler is expensive but can sometimes give you some nice stuff. 
Make sure you to keep your weapon upgraded, killing things fast keeps them from being 
able to kill you.

When dying maybe just respawn on that floor or something. Don’t recall death penalties 
as being too harsh.

Very hard gives you a pretty good challenge. Wait till you can get to the last dungeon 
through lol, makes the rest of the game on Very Hard feel like easy mode.



Grindy Achievements Tips:
-------------------------
-=Drink 5000 potions=-
If you have the merchant pack mod, buy 2500 stat decrease potions from the potion 
seller, they count, take no time to drink, and for some reason 1 potion counted as 2 
in my counter

-=Master Smasher / Smash 1500 breakables=-
If you are using wizard, unequip your staff and briefly swap to sword, the counter 
can break if you arent using a basic weapon and no skills, and the wizard staff counted 
as magic so the counter wasn’t increasing, you can test this by pressing j and checking 
your “barrels broken” stat while adventuring

-=Supreme Slayer=-
The “The Horde” mod will make all default maps spawn x10 monsters and x5 champion 
monsters, this can also help with “Trolling For Punishment” if you go to the lava 
prisons maps to find all the trolls.
