    Whats the best place to get Nitroglycerin. Now I'm talkin about a type of store and which city has it more often. Because it can be a pain trying to sleep constantly in tarant next to the inventors house. (especially sence he doesn't have it all that often)

    I want to say blackroot for some reason. I could have sworn I had better luck there than anywhere, but I admit I haven't played vanilla arcanum in over two years.

    Or you could try the inventor in the Wheel Clan mines. I believe they have more useful tech-stuff than most.

    The Orc Factory next to the Bate's Mansion. At least until the middle of the game anyway.

    Heh, yeah, they do get some problems selling stuff, depending on which way you choose...

    If anyone has one of those big manuals on arcanum it should tell you were to get it most often. Could somebody please do that for me?

    Do you mean the game manual or the strategy guide?

    You can download the manual here (at least you normally can, you might have to ask mathboy to email it to you)

    As for the strategy guide, I'm not actually sure if there was one.

    Standard inventor merchants have a 25% chance of having nitro.
    Multi-inventor merchants (sell a wider range of goods) have a 100% chance of having nitro.
    So you really shouldn't be having a problem with finding it.

    Can your character use melee combat at all?

    I use every type of combat. Melee, magic, machines (i have 3 automatons & 3 Poisen arachnids), i even use plastique (one of the main reasons why i need nitroglicerin). So yeah I use melee combat. And If your implying if i can kill something, hell yah. lol

    I'm just wondering how anyone could run out of nitroglycerin in a world where the shops bring in new stock every day.

    I think the inventor (in the inventor/herbalist shop) in Tarant is a Multi-Inventor.

    As is the inventor in the Wheel Clan, I think.
    I remember having the same problem a few months ago, and my solution was reduced to probabilities.
