thats nice, how did you get so much?
you got alot of items, you bought all the stuff there is ?

Hehe i'm maxed out as well.
The trick i used to get that money was investiging everything i earned in gems : diamonds , jets , emeralds and rubies (from killing our rock friends).
Put some exp in guile (do this as early as possible you'll earn it back in a few minutes). Work up your Combat multiplier and find some traders. Start selling and buying stuff to the traders and you'll swim in cash and skill experience.

Wait... The higher your combat multiplier, the more money you get?

computer_plague · #5 (**permalink**) 10-10-2005, 05:07 AM

how did you do that?
is there another way much faster and easier than buying and selling potions?

No the CM doesn't determine the money you get.
It's the value of the objects you're selling making profits from 1 till 433 per item.
It works as follows.

I usually buy everything that a trader has to offer. (except for the weapons) The trick i used works with the travelling traders.
I stocked up with will potions , health potions , red meat and the gems i talked about earlier.

When i get my home i'll post a screenshot of the items that are best for selling and buying. I have about 200 emeralds. These can be found with the travelling traders in the darkwood regions. If i'm not mistaking the always sell 4xtofu and 22x emerald. These are your guys.

You need some guile points (3 or 4 should let you make small money profits).
Just put all your skill and general experience in guile at the beginning.This way you can max out all your skills very early in the game.

Now make sure you have around 50 of the same item. Go to a trader and buy everything he's got. This means he's completely empty. Thanks to your guile you'll be able to sell the same stuff for more money then you originally bought it for.

If you buy everything back now you'll get a cheaper price since the trader has a lot of the same items. In my case i sold 200 emeralds (worth 700 i think ) = profit 433 for 1 emerald making a smack of money. If you buy them back you'll pay around 250 per emerald. Make the maths and get filthy rich.

1 important thing , use the SELL ALL and BUY ALL buttons.

If you kill some bandits first you should be able to get a combat multiplier of 15-20. Since we are using our tradingSKILLS you'll be rewarded with lots of skill points for each buy/sell cycle. I got over 200000 points when i was finished buying/selling thx to my combat multiplier.

If you buy everything and you hotkey red meat , fish and carrots (you'll have a ****load of these anyway after a few hours) then you'll experience up very fast with a high multiplier.

I restarted and i have to kill twinblade. I'm already maxed out in skills and strentgh. It's pure ownage

Anywayz i hope you understand what i'm trying to explain. Feedback is well appreciated.

Have fun owning the game.

Uhh..how many minutes/hours did it take to do that?

CyPhErIoN · #8 (**permalink**) 10-10-2005, 06:48 AM

I only did the trading thing when i had a big CM.
You earn the same amount of gold but you get tons of skill points in less time.
The place where you encounter the earth troll is a good place.
(After the greatwood entrance.) You have an earth troll and a few wasps + bandits. And we have a couple of traders around. I think i played for 2 hours using this technique and i maxed out my skills.

computer_plague · #9 (**permalink**) 10-10-2005, 07:40 AM

i didnt quite get how you maxed your strength? how can i get a very high combat multiplier?

CyPhErIoN · #10 (**permalink**) 10-10-2005, 08:41 AM

Buy the thingy called physical shields.
When you get hit your mana will be depleted instead of your health bar.
If you don't loose health you don't lose precious CM points.

Since you're buying everything you will have a load of potions after a while. I was travelling back and forth between bandits and stone trolls to earn my cash and my skill points. So by fighting , a high CM and eating red meat all the time i earned a lot of exp for strength as well.

Hope this clears up a bit.

Are you sure you didn't use that cheat program?

computer_plague · #12 (**permalink**) 10-10-2005, 07:13 PM

Nope i hate cheating.
The moment you cheat the game sucks in my opinion.Using and searching glitches is great on the other hand.I don't think that's really cheating.

@computer_plague
to summarize a bit :
1) physical shield ==> used to get high CM
2) guile ==> earning tons of money + guile when buy/selling
3) red meat ==> for every red meat +5strength (with CM of 20 it's +100strength)
4) carrots ==> for every carrot +5skill (with CM of 20 it's +100skill)
5) fish ==> same but for will

The first 2 are the most important. The food just beefs up your exp. and since i'm buying everything i hotkeyed them so i can use them with a high CM.

If you really think about it, exploiting a hole in the game is cheating. Of course guile was made to help you get a profit, but the aim of the game isn't to reach a million. The difference is, by using that program you save you, and your mouse, a heap of effort.

In my opinion, doing either of those methods ruins the game, as you should only play to fight, not by trading and then buying the best weapons.

Hmm maybe you're right. Ah well it's the third time i play the game and it's the first time i discovered this trick.It's just cool to see that you can max everything out without those programs. At least i workes for it myself.
So i agree , the program would save me time and a few mouses but that's cheating
