Hi... I am a little confused here and I need someones hints on several things:

1. How do I increase my defense on melee?
2. Are books any useful? They take a lot of space and I am thinking - if all they are useful for is just reading, I might just read and delete them.
3. How about other items that fall into the same bookmark? I am talking about the plans, jewels and all the other stuff. How do I use them? Are they any use at all??
4. And one more thing. How do teleports work? I was just able to teleport to the first village, but I can't teleport back. When I come to an teleport it says I to push "E", but nothing happens when I do...

I will greatly appreciate anyone's help! I will wait and thanks in advance...

Hello, welcome to the forums!

1. How do I increase my defense on melee?

Raise STR for melee, INT to defend against mage, DEX to defend against range.

2. Are books any useful? They take a lot of space and I am thinking - if all they are useful for is just reading, I might just read and delete them.

Most are junk, a few funny ones I kept or ones hinting at treasure. When I find the ones hinting at treasure or quest hints, I destroy them to save on space.

3. How about other items that fall into the same bookmark? I am talking about the plans, jewels and all the other stuff. How do I use them? Are they any use at all??

Carms - right click on an item that has charm slots
Quest items - right click "use". (same goes for skill books or stat books)
ore/crystals - used to enchant stuff. Each square is 1 encumbrance so stuff that stacks doesn't take on any additional weight (unless this changes in the upcoming patch)
Herbs - used to make potions, explore the mill to find a secret room to do this in.
Scrolls - no need to keep duplicates. Once you find an enchanter or herbalist they are used up to teach them how to make stuff. Sell any extras off.

4. And one more thing. How do teleports work? I was just able to teleport to the first village, but I can't teleport back. When I come to an teleport it says I to push "E", but nothing happens when I do...

Are you using a no-dvd crack? Pirated version of the game?
This is copy protection kicking in detecting a possible illegal version of the game. If the game is legal delete that saved game, put the disk in your primary drive letter (usually D:) and play the game. If still bugged might need additional tech support from SecuRom.

Every time there I run into trouble on the road, there is always a dwarf at the bottom of it. Don't they know how to drive above ground?

Just to add... The max stack of an item is 50, so if u go over 50 of the same ore, the next 50 will take one additional space. It counts for every item that stacks, like potions, herbs or ores.

Big thanks to both of you!

I just have one more question:
Speaking of ore/crystals. How do I use them? Do I have to find a special NPC or do a special quest to start enchanting things?

Speaking of teleports - that was a glitch caused by a patch that I installed (that translates everything in game to Russian), but I am now able to teleport......

Once that question is answered I would REALLY appreciate your help in:

Yes, you'll find the enchanter later in the game.
