Hey all, I've started playing my old Treasure Hunter, Sam Slade again over on Europa; but after decoding and completing up to Level 3 maps (Expertly Drawn) I suspect he'll need a fair bit of tweaking before I can risk going up a few levels!
The first problem is the enhanced client I'm using; if the treasure chest is dug up under a tree, you get 2x Dirt Patch gumps and one for a Metal Chest when you use CTRL+SHIFT; but I can't seem to target it's gump using Telekinesis, which means I have to get into Circle Of Transparency range, which then on the L3 chest kills me because I'm too close. How are people popping the chests now?
Secondly, I'm not sure on what his build should be; This is what he currently has, after shaking off the dust of 6 years away...
Str 100 Dex 26 Int 100
Cartography 100/100
Magery 87.3/100 - Turned up
Resisting Spells 55.9/ 100 - Turned Down
Meditation 100/100
Lock Picking 100/100
Musicianship 105.9/110 - Turned Up
Peacemaking 47.1/100 - Turned Up
Provocation 80.2/100 - Turned Up
Discordance 33.6/100 - Turned Up
The Discordance is new, due to seeing it recommended so many times on the boards here; What I used to do though is dig the chest, and the moment the nasties appeared, hit Peacemaking and then run out of range of aggro. Then I'd start provoking them on each other. And, using magery (in particular blade spirits and vortex) to finish them off. I can't recall the highest level chest I ever beat with these skills alas, and that new Level 6 one terrifies me (Paragon Ancient Wyrms? Oh deary me). However I'm not sure I can fit GM Discord into this build, nor do I have anything but basic LRC gear for now... I can craft GM Instruments though, from my mule, Muffin. So what would people recommend for solo (for now!) treasure hunting?
Thanks in advance to all!
