You can use a druid to heal them too (doesn't need to be the Watcher). Also it's fine if you aggro something as long as it's not a pwgra. I've healed the grove twice, both times I killed 1 panther that I couldn't avoid because my parties have **** all stealth. As for what the blessing does: You will be considered marked by nature and the druids in Bentbranch Bog near Sayuko will offer you to ally with them if you pass a 13 diplomacy check. Unsure if druid/ranger Watchers need to bother with getting the blessing or having 13 diplomacy. If you agree to ally with them, there will be a wordy ceremony that makes it sound like you should get some kind of buff but what you get is a bow. After you carry out their request they give you some drugs. There are some pretty SEVERE consequences for doing their bidding though.

Yeah, I had to check the combat log. For the large shield that scales with athletics and metaphysics it seems these are the formulas: Deflection: 3 + Athletics/2 Damage reduction %: 10 + Metaphysics/2 And to be extra clear, I know my PEMDAS

It actually says phrases elapse faster. The in-game behavior is the most reasonable one in my eyes. Else the modal would just mean you have the same uptime as without it, you just generate phrases twice as fast. It's a no-brainer to use at early levels when you only know one chant, anyway. Climhazzard is right, a 20 int troub can have pretty much 100% uptime on two chants. And yeah the 10 seconds don't mean anything.

...obviously that's because I took care of the **** sinking ships indiscriminately. That's where I got the triumphs from too. I was just hanging them to dry. P.S. Can always blame the Floating Hangman.

Mistreat your crew and kill him when he mutinies

A little addendum to the above, here is a screenshot with some triumphs on a Dhow. Triumps.jpg Hahahaha. Okay, so you don't lose reputation for attacking ships. I tried to justify this with dead men tell no tales. However, this assumes that all the following keep perfectly quiet: 1) Every bounty hunter who asks you to sink a ship. 2) Your crew. 3) Your companions - some of whom are heavily biased towards factions. And on top of all this, you are now PARADING THE TRIUMPHS IN THE DOCKS? Some people have asked if they could make all the factions unite. Perhaps they could - against the Watcher :D

This. Offer them aid, receive a gift, receive their illness, then cure it with your priest. Net gains: Whatever the gift was and 0 morale.

...while I can't answer your question, I really really think you need to proofread your thread title.

Anyone would be mad if you drag them along to pray at a shrine for 120 hours straight, tbh. I'm laughing to tears here :D Figured I might share the tip for the opposite achievement. It's not I that discovered it, it's not super new blah blah, but above all it's not in this thread. Grab Aloth, set sail for Dunnage, talk to the actors, then as you go to buy Taerna free, the bartender will try to press you for more money. Refuse to pay and just offer the 700 copper again. And again. And again. +dutiful every time.

Hey, what do you know, I really got it right. Except his name. Pauriki. Something. I've seen the Ring of Greater Regeneration once or twice. Just now I saw it for sale at the Brass Citadel. Orlan peddler. If you still need it.

Oh, I didn't take note of how many alcoves there were in total. However, note the following about Abydon. He built himself a new body in the White Forge. The skeleton at the abbey is only the remains of his first one.

Apparently the gods decided at some point to give up their physical bodies. Therefore, they couldn't simply stop Eothas by punching him. Woedica points this out, with poorly concealed bitterness towards whomever came up with the idea. At Ukaizo, surrounding the whatever-thing that is Eothas' ultimate destination, is a bunch of giant skeletons. But three alcoves are reportedly empty, and I can't figure out which gods didn't surrender their bodies there. One is of course Abydon, but the other two? Wael and Ondra too obsessed with secrecy to leave their bodies in the same place as the others? Rymrgand made his own bones wither much faster? Galawain handed his out as chew toys? Losing sleep here! Is it even certain that Abydon's skeleton isn't there? He rebuilt his body, after all!

You buy it (her) from a trader. There is no option to capture a better ship (sadly) No option to sell previous ship, it is "stored" (where???) There are so many things to fix... Logically, boarding must lead to much more loot, but I'm not sure, better leave this to the ones who tested it. Logically, you should get very little loot when sinking and logically, you should get to keep the ship when you board. But these things have to give way to game design. There are many things that say **** logic in order to work in the player's favor. As far as I can tell, boarding gives more loot but it's all weak items and you'll presumably never miss out on a unique by sinking. Meanwhile, sinking gets your crew more experience but you can always grind experience by sailing into storms deliberately. So in the end, it comes down to preference and/or the necessary approach to defeat an opponent who is too superior in one of the respects.

Yes, but what do you do with him? Depends if it's early in the morning or not.

Got Hylea food without importing. If you did nasty things for stats in PoE1 you will get them eventually (not upon game start), but you can specify you did that in the history creator anyway. Josh said minor reactivity for importing saves instead of generating a history. So far there are bugs with both (maybe not after the recent patch), but I expect when all is sorted there'll definitely be no material or content gain from using one over the other.

13? Yikes. Mine is somewhere around 9. I had druid Tekehu with me, but when I asked him if he could do anything about the situation he just noped out of it saying that the druids are right to oppose Rauatai. I must say I didn't really expect that. Mine isn't 13 either, but with Party Assist it is Did you notice getting some form of stat buff? Twice they make it sound like I'm getting one, but the first time the ritual ends with them giving me a bow and the second time with them giving me drugs. Quests like this are quite pleasant BTW, for people who wanna play "**** ALL the factions and give the Deadfire back to nature".

Diplomacy is more or less tied with Insight for the most used skill checks: https://wiki.fireundubh.com/deadfire/dialogue-options#skills Seems you need to pass a 13 Diplomacy check, or maybe be a druid or ranger. Those are all red for me, but I'll check back when I've gotten 1 more dip. Edit: Okay, it seems it's like this. If you have 13 Diplomacy, I think you can leave without a fight. However, if you use that option and you've been blessed, they will consider you an ally of nature and ask you to instead kill the Rautaians. For agreeing to do so, they will give you a blessing from Galawain, which sounds very ceremonial when they perform it but I didn't see any new buffs showing up, however they handed me the https://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Saint_Omaku%27s_Mercy bow. Presumably 13 Diplomacy and the blessing aren't required for cooperation if you're a treehugger class. Shrug.

Basically "advance the plot".

Solitary Wanderer... try the drake bounty... somewhere, maybe southeast of Neketaka. Begins with T. Might be there I found it. Or was it a Stone of Power he had. Or something else entirely. Try it.

There's another cook, called Vektor. On Tikawara. Available after you resolve the VTC business on Poko Koharu or whatever the spelling. I prefer him because Ushizu is indeed greedy and tries to make me give him money every time I make an offering to Ondra.

Perception does this now.

Can we have a mod just constantly moving spoiler-requesting posts to a more appropriate forum? It's getting tiresome when you want to help but don't want to break rules. I'm spoiler tagging, for what it's worth.

Yeah, I find it hard to answer this without spoiling.

Ihtafeer returns!
