    See the thread, "Items for Thieves (Spoilers)"

    Since you're going tech, many of the magic items will be little help once your TA is high.

    You have your choice of weapons, depending on how you build your character. For a sniper-type, you want high prowling and fire arms. For an stealthy assassin-type, high prowling, and medium backstab and melee. A stealthy archer or thrower works as well. Or you don't have to have any stealth at all...

    You should consider the tech items that help a thief: Charged Ring, Flow Specktrometer, Auto Skeleton Key, Trap Springer, etc.

    I've learned that there is "All tech skills or nothing"
    In the end you will be pissed that you cant build:"Blade Launcher",Vendigroth Rifle,Brainbuilder,Paralyssis grenade Etc.
    Since it requires combinations of the eight tech-skills

    Belive me fellow traveler..

    You're starting to lose patience with redundant posts which can be easily answered through the use of the Handy Search Feature.

    About bloody time. I like it. Keep it up. :thumbup:

    You go to the library(?) in the northeast of Tarant and buy the tech manuals. They give you points in the tech disciplines, so you can build the found schematics like Blade Launcher, Reanimator, etc. You can't use them to get the schematics which you buy like Molotov Cocktail, Healing Salve, etc.

    The manuals are plenty heavy and expensive though.
