I did Poko Kohara today and in the desert outside I looted myself some precious Adra Ban. Probably some from the titan, but not only. The scarabs, perhaps. Not sure, but I can say I would not leave anything there alive at least. ^^ Furthermore, I've been taking some screenshots so I have a bit to add! Magma dragon's hoard: 1x Emerald, 1x Sapphire, 1x Adra Ban Drowned Barrows, upper floor, chest somewhere to the east: 1x Sapphire (some amount at least) Drowned Barrows, upper floor, chest by the beds: 3x Emerald Poko Kohara, Engwithan Titan: 1x Adra Ban (had screenshot) Crookspur dungeons, closet by the door to the caverns: ?x Ruby, blame sloppy screenshotting Rathun (the fire giants) seem to often carry rubies BTW.

Sapphire x1: Together with the unique stiletto (Azure something) in the Hanging Sepulchers Ruby x1: Pickpocketed off the RDC guard explaining Rauatai culture to a huana outside the entrance to the Brass Citadel, IDK if guaranteed

If you have been to both the first islands he wants explored when he gives you the quest you can tell him as much.

We're getting some Obsidian attention in this thread, but so far we only know about Gift of Hope, which was supposed to be the reward for not sacrificing anyone to the blood pool but is bugged. Hopefully Soul-Power is next to receive clarification.

Not all heroes wear capes! Or shirts that cover their bellies. Would you also be able to mod in some missing talents, as rewards for certain decisions as the Founding Fathers Obsidian intended?

We managed to attract some Obsidian attention to a thread about talents that seem to be missing from the game. So yeah, at least this much of a good reward was meant to exist and hopefully will one day. That means +1 con +1 res +10% health instead of the sacrificed companion's buff. Note that we weren't told we'd have to give up on Gift from the Machine for it though.

I liked the arrest. Just because vengiattas are Vailian culture doesn't make them legal in Neketaka.

Deckhand and helmsman, so you don't need a ship large enough for a boatswain slot. The skill check for each is 3 (expert). I also recall reading that even if you fail those, you just get injured crew. Can't slack on the hull/sails though. Whatever else might look good, Blackwood Hull and Dragonwing Sails have plot armor and nothing else you can simply buy does.

That's why you should wait a few hours between picking up the stew and giving it to Mirke.

:D sounds like nothing learned from PoE1 here. I share your dilemma if these numbers are correct.

I have to say it's making it way too personal to go for a vendetta against Benweth for raiding your ship though. What do you think Furrante would have done if he didn't know about your history, or otherwise had reason to believe you a difficult target? Every damned Principi ship will attack you, Benweth was just optimistic enough to think his goons could handle you alone, and he lost them for it, price paid. It's another thing if you just don't like pirates. Or you like them and want to join them. But going after him just for attacking your ship, one he picked simply because it seemed an easy target, meh. **** all these considerations when you consider his armor and the quest experience available though.

Just diplomatically convince them to hand over their heads. But going back to the very first fight against Benweth's goons. If we assume the achievement is active for it, the way to avoid it would be to not score any killing blows yourself. If so, you could handle regular boarding battles the same way. Eh, seem too obvious an exploit. Feels like a lot of these achievements will be far easier for rogues considering they can just use Smoke Veil and the likes to avoid fights they can't talk their way out of.

It's really satisfying because he knows he's ****ed, and he'll ask for mercy as you bully him. If you confront him in his office he's endlessly ****y.

Great finds! BENWETH PLEASE DON'T ATTACK MY SHIP YOU'RE RUINING MY ACHIEVEMENT!! I wonder if sinking ships will count as killing kith...

Eh, not seeing that. I'm using that dagger, soloing as mentioned, and I'm not having problems applying its bleed. I open with Gouging Strike from stealth and two permanent bleeds are applied.

Yeah, that works, good point. I'll update my bug report.

I had thought the Drawing Cut enchant would work on stealth openers. However, checking the attack resolution details I'm not seeing it for the opener but I am seeing it for the next attack I make. I'm guessing the mechanic at work is that I'm not in combat yet as I deliver that opener. Could the enchant be changed to circumvent this? Lowlife murderers have feelings too and disappointment is not one we they appreciate. Clarification: This is when combat altogether starts with this stealth attack, not when it begins some other way and this is merely my rogue's first action. I'm playing solo, but I took in another party member and had them start combat and then I had Drawing Cut for my rogue's opener.

Yeah, it's not weird to me, I just figured Drawing Cut was the reason it would be the de facto weapon. It's certainly good but not I-can't-imagine-using-anything-else good. Although I do wish it would work that way. I'll see what the devs say.

I'm not sure why, actually. If I open combat with some stealth attack, it doesn't seem to get the Drawing Cut bonus. I can put it in the offhand, but I'll lose the single weapon bonuses.

Actually you can save, reload, explore ^^

Another way to encourage mobs to reset might be to have the boots that let you leap. Perhaps you could find a place that makes the AI go "SO NOT gonna try to go there".

Try walking around the map to get out of combat. Generally when you are in combat it means there are mobs that want your head, but if none are coming it likely means they can't find a path to you. If you make that job too hopeless for them they might reset altogether.

This might interest you.

Pretty sure OP will like it, considering that should mean Aloth will get out of the cage ^^

I get a voyager fast and play the charge and board game. I don't mind sinking but buying, outfitting and crewing a junk is costlier.
