Hello, I was wondering if someone knew about any list of weapons and respective strength requirements, particularly the technological ones. On a related note, does anyone know if it is possible to raise, permanently, the strength of one using technological, or neutral way?
Well, if you grab the weapon of your interest and it proves to be a wee bit too much for you, it will miraculously write its own strength requirement. Don't know about any lists, though I seem to recall that they have a pretty precise equipment database on gamebanshee.com or .something... I must admit that I don't know any way, magical or otherwise, to raise strength permanently. The mechanized platemail, if you're playing with a mod installed (e.g. Drog's unofficial patch) and those lovely gauntlets that Magnus wears, though I'm not sure if they work on a non-dwarf, should do the trick, but only while you wear them. The same thing with some magical equipment, like the Axe of Strength (I think that's the name, though it seems a bit too obvious). The only two other ways I can think of are the blessing of a certain god or a certain elixir that you can make in Vendigroth. I just realized, that they should be permanent. Guess I lied in the beginning. :/
Yes, Game Banshee, http://www.gamebanshee.com/arcanum/equipment.php Isnt there potions that does so? Don't you find a potion later on that increases all you're stats by 1 permanently?
There's a item database right here: http://www.terra-arcanum.com/index.php? ... k&id=items . It may be a bit confusing at times, but it sure contains a lot of stuff.
I know i can reveal each weapon's Strength requirement by putting them on my character, but what i wanted was to know in advance the requirements so i could more informedly plan my tech trees build; Gamebanshee did the trick though, thank you all for your answers.
To temporary increase your strenght, you may drink elixir of Physical Prowess. It`s 2nd grade of Therapeutics. Jayna can make it from the get go. It`s effects last for quite a while (8 game hours or so), so 1-2 are usually enough to "clear a dungeon." Energizer and revitalizer will also raise your strenght. I do not know however, whether they can stack (for +6 with all 3! IIRC)
I have just acquired a basic machined plate from Ashbury, I am using the latest unofficial patch but it isn't providing me any strength bonus. Would it only provide if it was created by me through a recipe? Or do you reckon there's something wrong with my installation?
I'm not sure but I think that maybe only those you make actually give you the bonus. Post it in Drog's bug thread.
That's because it's a Basic Machined Plate, a toned down version. You have to make the real one yourself, although it still can be found in a few places in the game.
