Starting difficulty

[Darksnickers220]

Im not really sure what I should be doing, I can't kill anything in Cold plains, and I can't find an empty parchment for this quest im doing, Also I assume Blood raven is the one who drops the Sisterhoods Ancient relic.
Im not sure if its just me but I seem wayyyyy underpowered right now... Maybe I should try a sorc? Any ideas, I want to try a paladin go up the shifting path and use zeal. but its reallly hard.

Sisterhood's Ancient relic is a quest reward from first main quest (clear den of evil).

empty parchment is sold by Akara. Even if she dosn't always have it in store.

What level is you then you entered Cold Plains? if you are below level 5 then Cold Plain will be really hard.

Blood Moor: designed for level 1 and level 2.
Den of Evil: designed for level 3 to level 4.

[Darksnickers220]

okay at this point my main problem is shamens, Every time I find one i nearly die trying to kill it. im currently level five, and I can't clear den. maybe ive just been really unlucky with gear.

Edit:: So i got the relic, Serik Knothill is SOOOOO strong, I cant even hurt his minions.
Still need to figure out how to get more than 6 damage a swing.

keep on playing and try to find some gems for your weapon. Some of them increase your damage and maybe even have a nice trigger effect.

For bosses: look for scrolls. There are some that boost your damage for about a minute.

But as far as I know a caster is easier to play here at the moment. No matter sorc or druid.

Then you're a WAY WAY better player than I am. None of my chars entered DoE before level 6 and even then it was quite hard. I probably wouldn't go far in Cold Plains before level 12.

The Shamans are extremely deadly. True, they have relatively low life, but their cold attacks are very strong, both for the damage they do and because of the slowing.

[fireblanket]

what character are you using if you cant do cold plains until lvl 12?

and what skills are u using?

this is a really hard mod. but not that hard.

[Necrolis]

Judging from your adept quest your playing a pala, so may i suggest you invest a few points in the general skills tab, it'll increase your survivablityalso try and collect a few monster items, they are strong and have sockets(quill charms are nice)

[Darksnickers220]

how do you identify quill rat charms?

I suppose your quill rat charm is white (i.e normal quality)? In that case you can't. This bug will be fixed in an upcomming patch no normal charms no longer can be flagged as unidentified.

[whiplash-84]

You can id a quill rat charm by selling it and then buying it back :-)

At first I have to say, that Iam really happy to play this mod because I have heared so many years from your project and now we can play it

It is very hard - thats true. Tested druid and sorceress and found out that sorcresess is a bit better at the beginning beacause her weapon deals more damage. So I have used the shared stash to move the staff with dmg 1-10 to my druid and replaced his club with dmg 1-5

Can you reduce monster group by those goblins to 1-2? Cause 3 of them are always to hard and I have to use Flavie to help me

You have flavie + random spawn npc's who can help you. I think goblins is mainly an issue at level 1. As at level2 you should easier be able to kill it.

For me the goblins where never a problem unless they spawned in a really big group (10 or so). Simply don't run right into the middle of a group, but split the groups up and kill them one by one. Blood Moor has a lot of unwalkable ground, use them to break up groups (if such a spot is between you and the monsters, some will go left and some right, attack one group while the other takes the long way around)...

You better kill some quillrat before rushing into them xD

Thats true and I never noticed it in vanilla d2 or in other mods. It is a good strategy to use the ground to split the group.

Isn't a rogue giving hints for using the terrain
