Re: [Audyssey] alter aeon help needed
My first alter aeon char was a warrior/druid, and I found that combination works very well. When you're in battle, simply cast earth wall, and let it do your defending, while you pound away on the offending miscrient. I also have two other chars, and while they work, I find it much harder to complete things w/o the druid spells to assist. On the other hand, one of my other two has a relatively high level in cleric, and they have a peace spell, and that can go a long way to helping out when you just have to stop a battle. Each class has it's own unique contributions to the game, and if you can mix and match them well enough, you'll do just fine, it's really a matter of remembering which skills/spells you have, and using them in proper combinations. Also, don't forget the alias commands. I use several battle aliases that automatically perform multiple commands for me, such as lunge and magic missile, or kick and blue dart, (or something similar) I have several of these setup, so I can type b1 or b2 (for battle1 or battle2) and they will perform my commands automatically without me having to type them in each time. It's very handy. Another one I use is one to show my experience, and it's setup like this: level|grep experience If you put it in an alias, you'll need to put a \ character before the | symbol to make it work, but tricks like that can allow some pretty complex aliases to be created. Hope this helps. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] alter aeon help needed
Those blobs in particular are pretty tough. Given that you're a mage, I'd highly recommend that you make use of your necromancer levels and make some minions to take at least a few of the hits for you. Your strategy is (relatively) sound, and at this point there's not really a lot more you can do, other than making sure you have as many defensive spells up as you can. Tactics will come in later once you have stronger secondary classes with a greater variety of skills to call upon. -- From: Denny Schwab denny.sch...@gmail.com Sent: Monday, April 06, 2015 15:58 To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] alter aeon help needed Hello, I have been playing alter aeon for a couple of weeks now. My character is now an 18th level mage, with levels in thief, necro, and cleric. I have made it to the second island, and have played through quite a few of the quests there. My issue is that I have a couple of the quests I just seem to get demolished every time I try them. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. At level 18 I would imagine I should be able to handle the 14th level broom quest in the Mad Alcomist's castle, but the blue blobs there destroy me every single time. I am wondering if there is some aspect of the game that I just am not getting. My basic battle plan is to cast spells as quickly as possible, but I tend to run out of mana very quickly, and then I don't seem to have any options left but to flee. Are there commands I should use in combat that I am not, such as ones to attack or defend myself?

Re: [Audyssey] alter aeon help needed
the minion suggestion is a good one, and if you have the mage spell shards it helps a bit. or blue dart. And try to have a slashing weapon (short sword or what not) that is good against blob type mobs.

Re: [Audyssey] alter aeon help needed
One of the more powerful techniques available to mages is the 'charge spell' approach. The spells 'burning hands' and 'shocking grasp' can do a tremendous amount of damage when they hit, and you can cast them both on yourself before starting battle. You can also cast them on certain minions, like the clay man. Against the blobs, one or two charge spells should kill them outright. You do have to give up an item to use the spells, but it's totally worth it. Make sure you keep your weapon, and give up your shield or held item. Also, make sure to use the 'check' command to look over your character and see if you've missed any of the more important skills and spells.
