My fault, sorry...

I wanted to put the Guide in the Help/Tips forum.
Please click here - the link to the Guide itself is broken for the moment... That's not my fault <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />


Well.... It works for me.

One or two corrections are needed :

- Pictures of DK Claw and Magical Sword are swapped (Uniques)
- Different pictures of coloured boots not correct ( rather looking likde sandals) ?

I needed several days to download the whole thing (high-res version), and I'm impressed.

I liked far most the "History of the Raan". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Al, this sounds like easter egg hunt in the strategy guide. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> & i found some spelling mistakes as well. nothing major, actually. plsu there are some sentences that could've been shorter without losing meaning at all. but then i'm just an argumentative git. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

I'll have to look at the swapped images, but the coloured boots are correct. More than one person has checked this and it is how they show in the game (atleast in the games we checked them in). I suppose nobody bothered making images for the coloured boots.

I'm interested to know all spelling mistakes and improvements you know. I'm sure Raze is interested as well <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />
Note though that US English was chosen for the guide, whereas the game is inconsistent and uses both US and UK English. Sometimes we had to make choices resulting in a mix of US and UK English because it would have been confusing with the actuial text in the game.

There will be a version 1.2 out in Januari. It has amongst other several additions to the math section, but I would like to change any shortcomings also.

I completely agree the pictures are fabulous.
Congratulations to the artist !
I am sorry that it is not a real book with real paper pages and a cover.
It would be easier to read it in bed and the guide would be a great collector object for the most insane fans.

Everybody makes spelling mistakes, specially when english is not the native language.
Kiya, Barnabus and Myrthos are forbidden. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
But i can't imagine that Raze could make spelling mistakes. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasEek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasEek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasEek.gif" alt="" />

@ Alrik
I have downloaded the guide in the higher resolution.
It just needed about 3 hours. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Depends on connection (DSL, Modem, ISDN), time you have free for downloading, and things you do meanwhile (browsing Forums also eats bandwidth).

I am glad that i have a 512k line <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> i can download anything and not even notice a speed difference <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> if i think back on having a download run at 2-8 k a second, i want to faint.... i am so used to 30-80k a second....

My 56k modem are in my maching purely for faxing purposes....

But i have a bigger problem with the guide than downloading it.... try PRINT it!!!!!! I have scaled it down to A5 size, doublesided sheets, and still it spanned a DECENT 140 pages!!!!!

Unfortunately when i am busy plaing the game, i dont want to al-tab the whole time to find something on a guide.... i want to pause the game, find the answer and carry on <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Make no mistake, i think its a VERY very good guide.... its also one of the longest ones i downloaded in my lifetime!!!

how all of us wish to print it out but alas, either the page count is too many (though it's good?) or that the printer can only print in monochrome. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> such is the case of my laser printer. ...... ok so actually it's my office printer. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

maybe i'll print it out bit by bit. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

@ myrthos -> let me get back on the guide then i'll let u know about the alleged mistakes, ok?

Easter Egg Hunt in Beyond Divinity Strategy Guide

this is to help the makers of the guide to find out any mistake/problem in it.

(1) Skills -> Introduction -> page 316
Caution: Keep track of .... If you already have a higher one and then get the same a few levels lower, your level cap will be reduced.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" /> *since patch 1.47, there is no more of such risk though you will still forfeit the money spent in being taught, IF the lower level skill is obtained that way.* ??

(2) Skills -> Survival Skills -> Alchemy -> page 326
Tarp Detection

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" /> Trap Detection ??

(3) Skills -> Survival Skills -> Thieving Skills -> Sneak -> page 319
It isa default available active skill, but increasing ....

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" /> It is a default available active skill, but .... ??

(4) Skills -> Survival Skills -> Thieving Skills -> Lockpick -> page 318
It is normally a very useful active skill to open locked chests or doors, but rather futile ...

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" /> As of patch version 1.47, the previously 'broken' skill is now usable. Being an active skill, it has to be selected to be used & applied on locked doors or chests or barrels, which each have different levels of difficulties to counter the lockpick skill. *geez, there must be a simpler way to say this* ??

(5) Skills -> Warrior Skills -> Melee Specialties -> Two-handed -> page 333 -> Two-handed Slashing, Piercing, Crushing, Shadow, Bone

These skills improve the abilities of a two-handed crushing weapon, are passive and are applied automatically by using a crushing weapon.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" /> These skills WHICH improve the abilities of a two-handed crushing weapon, are passive and are applied automatically by using a crushing weapon.??

(6) Skills -> Warrior Skills -> Melee Specialties -> One-handed -> page 336 -> One-handed Slashing with Shield

These skills improve the abilities of a one-handed slashing weapon. The skills are passive, and are applied automatically when you are using a slashing weapon with a shield.

*i find this is very good as one long sentence is cut into two shorter ones, which is easier to read & understand*

(7) Skills -> Warrior Skills -> Melee Specialties -> One-handed -> page 336 -> One-handed Piercing, Shadow, Bone with Shield

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" /> please refer to (5). ??

(8) Skills -> Warrior Skills -> Melee Specialties -> One-handed -> page 336 -> One-handed Crushing with Shield

These skills improve the abilities of a one-handed piercing weapon, are passive and are applied automatically by using a piercing weapon with a shield.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" /> These skills WHICH improve the abilities of a one-handed CRUSHING weapon, are passive and are applied automatically by using a CRUSHING weapon with a shield. ??

(9) Skills -> Warrior Skills -> Melee Specialties -> Whirlwind -> Whirlwind Skills

There are three whirlwind skills, which allow to increasie damage, add a chance to stun the opponent and reduce the cost of stamina.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" /> There are three whirlwind skills; increasing damage, adding chance to stun opponents, and reducing the stamina cost when performing whirlwind. ??

(10) Skills -> Warrior Skills -> Melee Specialties -> Craftsmanship -> page 343

Identify: ... Monsters can also be identified, which helps defeating them as their resistances are shown - this differs according to the enemy's level.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" /> Monsters can also be identified, which helps IN defeating them as their resistances are shown ... ??

(11) Skills -> Warrior Skills -> Melee Specialties -> Craftsmanship -> Recover Arrows -> page 345

... By investing into this skill, it is possible to recover arrows and increases the chance to get at least a few ones back.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" /> By investing points in this skill, it is possible to recover arrows and increase the chance to get at least a few back. ??

(12) Skills -> Warrior Skills -> Melee Specialties -> Craftsmanship -> Identify -> page 345

... Alternatively, merchants can also identify items, but they want money for this service (100gp), which is saved by investing into this passive skill yourself.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" /> Alternatively, merchants can also identify items, but only for money (100gp for each item) which you can save by investing points in this passive skill. ??

(13) Skills -> Warrior Skills -> Melee Specialties -> Warrior Talents -> page 346

Discourage: ... Depending on how many,skill points you invest even high-leveled enemies are discouraged.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" /> Depending on how many skill points you invest in this skill, even high-leveled enemies can be discouraged. ??

(14) Skills -> Warrior Skills -> Melee Specialties -> Warrior Talents -> Feign Death -> page 346

The higher the skill level is the longer the duration will last.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" /> The higher the skill level is, (a) the longer the duration, or (b) the longer the act will last. ??


note: you can accuse me of nitpicking but these are merely suggestions. to those who are actively involved in the making of the guide, if u would like for me to continue 'nitpicking' or otherwise, please let me know.

Thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
The guide is checked upto version 1.45, so anything new with respect to 1.47 is not in. Anything you can find in this matter is appreciated.

Quests, Act 2 : The Lich in the Mushroom Forest :

"A third Lich will be in thIf you say you do not believe them ..."

Sounds like two sentences merged ...

Also, PAG-UMN in the list of Charms has a different "sign" - different from all other UMN signs - is that correct ?
