I'm new! ;D To clarify a little, I'm both new to the game and this forum. I've had the game for almost 2 years now I think but never played it a lot. Got into the game a few days ago and having a blast. Currently running a lvl 49 fireball/fire spiral BM and working on hunting down runes to improve my CAs. Anyway I hope to get some good information from this place

Welcome to the forum! Glad to see some new faces to the game and to this place here. This is definitely the place to be for info. Wolfe is very knowledgeable about the game.
Are you playing single player on multiplayer for your BM?

That's a MP char. I had one on SP as well, but because a friend plays on MP I patched the game and started on MP. I will have to play the story in SP sometime though Btw anyone know of a really fast way of finding runes (49 mage that can manage ok in silver games) except for farming those easy to do quests at the start? Since I don't get exp from it (or not much anyway) but the amount of runes I can gather can be extremely large in short amount of times. Also anyone tried making a "wind" based BM. I was thinking something like wirlwind and gust of wind as primary damage spells with ghost meadow to shorten duration, reikki for health regen, stone skin for def and perhaps flame skin as a minor sourc of leech shield. It sounds like fun imho. Hmm. Perhaps even that chain lightning spell to trigger spliting of monsters. Or does the lvl of that skill decide how many times it jumps?

I'm not brave enough to enter the harcore world... yet ;D I will stick to closed internet - softcore for now, but thanks for the offer Also I loked at some builds but didn't really find exactly what I was looking for, but I guess I need to look better. Btw.... rart å se en fra Oslo:P Har vokst opp der selv Translated: Btw.... strange to see someone from Oslo:P I've grown up there myself

I will have to play the story in SP sometime though Btw anyone know of a really fast way of finding runes (49 mage that can manage ok in silver games) except for farming those easy to do quests at the start? I've read about some rune hunter builds... the key is to: 1) Read as little runes as possible 2) Socket as little runes as possible 3) Have as little runes as possible (mule all found runes to others) 4) Have a high character level The game mechanism tries to balance your character's level with how many runes are read/socketed/in inventory and stash. I don't remember what kind of builds work with just a single rune though. But this rune hunter definitely need items from other characters to survive. Also anyone tried making a "wind" based BM. I was thinking something like wirlwind and gust of wind as primary damage spells with ghost meadow to shorten duration, reikki for health regen, stone skin for def and perhaps flame skin as a minor sourc of leech shield. It sounds like fun imho. Hmm. Perhaps even that chain lightning spell to trigger spliting of monsters. Or does the lvl of that skill decide how many times it jumps? I have a wind mage in SP before. He was using Gust of Wind and Chain Lightning as his main offenses. Extremely effective against crowds, but quite painful against single or poison resistant foes (especially dragons). Yes, the number of Chain Lightning jumps is determined by the CA level, and it reaches max. very quickly. Gust of Wind relies also on CA level to be able to push things away. It also reaches its max size very quickly. Plus some foes are immune to the knock back. You can read about the CAs' details here: www.sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacred:Battle_Mage_Combat_ArtsMy wind mage completed bronze, then I tried him in UW... but he failed completely when he faced nuk-nuks. It's best to have a backup spell from another element, preferably one that doesn't need a high CA level to be effective. Meteor Storm seems to be a nice choice when you combine it with Gust of Wind...

It is always great to see new faces around here! And we absolutely loooove those new to the game, answering questions gives us something to do around here haha. What I'm going to do is "fork" this thread over to the Sacred General Chat section in case anyone else is interested in the answers to your questions. A lot of people tend to ignore the Intro. board I will also expand on the answers given so far over there....

Hey again. Been busy since last post with work and doing some lvling services on D2, but back again with a question Ok so the other day I got some life leech on my weapon. Worked wonders with ring of fire and fire ball, but today it doesn't work that well. It seams instead of healing me it drains my life. I didn't notice it until after some time when I wondered why I lost so much health without seeing any red numbers. Anyway is there a known bug for this or?

Hiiii!!! Welcome to the forum!!
I'm Tira, and I'm absolutely useless here. I rarely talk about anything having to do with the game, and I ALWAYS play SP because I'm too shy to play MP.
BUT!!! I'm friendly and like to talk. So...if you wanna talk or if you need anything...lemme know. ^_^;

Hi Tira! I'm going to be absolutely useless as well as far to knowlage about the game is concerned, but I will probably have lots of questions, and don't mind some friendly chatting (and a good discussion ). But we have to work on you being too shy for MP. It's nothing dangerous! The enemies don't bite harder, and everyone I have met so far are very friendly. Though like 90% of the people I encounter is Polish ;D *Wanders off to my profile to look at different settings*

Yeah MP is great!! There are tons of really nice people out there that are always willing to lend a helping hand or just have fun playing in a group! As for being useless.... just being here and keeping the forum active with new posts has a HUGE use in my opinion!

It's not the enemies I'm worried about!!
I'm much too shy to have to interact with people. Being on forums is bad enough. XD!!

Awww you seem to be doing just FINE here!!! Plus that is the great thing about the internet! We don't know who you are so if for some strange reason you embarrass yourself or whatever it isn't like we'll be running into you or anything lol. Besides AREA embarrasses himself every time he logs on and we still love him haha.

Hehehe. I'm not so good at embarressing myself, but I'm extremely gifted in the art of confusing myself... Wait a minute, that's kinda embarressing isn't it...?
SEE! I'm doing it again ;D

I don't know. If I hang out here long enough and get to know people better, MAYBE someday I'll join you. But not until I have a decent character built up. I keep making them all suck. -_-;;
