Whispers of the Endless Paths

Did you have to console in the fragments?

Did you have to console in the fragments?

No, I imported my save from Pillars 1, saved the guy instead of the crate, then had the fragments in my captain's cabin.

[JerekKruger]

I'd saving the crate necessary? Every time I do it the crate on the beach contains some gloves and some consumables and I wonder if the blade is always in the captain's cabin.

[Vastus]

Saving the crate doesn't matter, you need to import a PoE1 save where you reforged the blade. Creating a new background where you reforged appears to not be working sadly.

[SmugPlatypus]

In case anyone is wondering, saving the crate means that the crate shows up next to you on the beach when you wake up. There's some minor loot in there, containing a minor magic item. Basically, I'd argue that the crewmember is a waaay  better choice than some vendor trash.

[Boeroer]

Argh... I didn't want to import a savegame because I couldn't squeeze in another "proper" PoE playthrough with the character I wanted to play in Deadfire.

 

Ah well, console then since I don't care for achievements anyway.

[JerekKruger]

You'll get most the achievements anyway if you play more than once.

[Boeroer]

But will I?

[JerekKruger]

That is the question isn't it. Certainly at the moment PotD is kinda easy and there are too many obviously overpowered builds, so I can imagine it probably doesn't appeal that much to you.

 

Hopefully with some balancing and good DLCs it'll appeal more.

[Epimetreus]

What are the chances of them fixing the missing fragments issue for custom histories?

I’d really like to see this reforged merged blade... but I don’t want to disable achievements just to get the Blade of the Endless Paths fragments.

[AndreaColombo]

I believe they’re investigating the issue now so hopefully in the next patch.

 

There’s a modding framework that lets you cheat without disabling achievements, by the way. Josh linked it on Twitter a couple days ago.

 

I’ll link it when I’m home later if you can’t find it.

[Kaylon]

Let's hope the other bonuses we're supposed to get from PoE aren't affected by the same bug...

[AndreaColombo]

Here's the GitHub for the modding framework.

 

It comes with a mod to retain achievements when using IRoll20s.

[100kg]

Can you explain how this sword works? Is that an actual legitimate second attack in the cone AoE? Does it has any penalties? How does it interracts with barbarian carnage?
I thought to go with dual longswords for my Devoted/Berserker, but looks like this is a strong variant too...

[Judicator]

I figured it out: GiveItem MISC_Fragments_Blade_of_the_Endless_Paths

Anyone know of a way to cheat the fragments in without disabling achievements?

 

Edit: never mind.

Am I missing something with the Whispers greatsword? It has some nice abilities, but it does less damage than my unenchanted greatsword. What the heck is the benefit over reforging the Blade of the Endless Paths?

Good question!

 

Whispers of the Endless Paths looks like it does lower damage, but can do a lot more as it rolls two attacks against its original target - the normal attack plus an AOE (the latter of which can hit other enemies too). A quick field test should demonstrate both the "double hit" on the original target and the AOE.

 

Hope this helps.

Ooh, that sounds very nice.

Code isnt working for me. Says give item is not available at this time

That's when you didn't activate cheating first (-> iroll20s ).

[mrmonocle]

I got the fragments of both blades when I chose the everything bad poe1 outcome.

[dunehunter]

That Parry Blade upgrade is really good if u have enough defense. It riposte/daze any enemy missed u, 100% proc chance.

[patterninstatic]

I've tested it a bit. Good sword for taking care of mobs but you'll want a higher damage alternative to switch to in your second slot for single enemies with higher damage reduction. The parry upgrade is a must have.

[George_Truman]

It actually does more single target damage than any other 2 hander I've found. It has innate +1 pen and don't forget that your primary target gets attacked twice (regular hit + aoe hit). So a displayed 15-25 is really 30-50, but also more consistent because you have 2 rolls.

 

also, @ dunehunter, I tried that enchant with a high res/low dex crusader and had a lot of fun

whats the chance they might fix it for tuesday? probably lowish.... achievements are kinda nice due to beraths blessings....altough they are not necessary might make a new playthrough a bit faster / more interesting in the beginning
