And how do i disable traps?

First a rogue has to spot them (trap spotted appears above it--hold tab to better see where the found traps are at). Once a trap has been found, select your rogue and click on it. They will run over to it and start disabling it. It takes a while.

A rogue will only see it if their cunning, trap making, and trap disabling skills are high enough.



Anyone know what the "Trade Manifest" and "Private Doucments" are for?

I think one can only sell them

 

[Laurijan]

i think i just found a bug... in buildings with walls between your enemy and morrigan for example go to the bird view and you can cast winter´s grasp thru walls if you have previosly opened a door to this room lol...

 

[Laurijan]

Maybe you have some activated abilities with upkeep running? Likefrost weapons or something like that.

Disabling traps, can't say, I don't keep a rogue with me, they just die all the time

Yes i have passive spells all over my chars

i believe there's side quests that require you to gather private documents.

Has anyone else used 3 mages and Alistair in a party? Its totally OP lol, 3 CCer's and shatter effects = unstoppable.

haven't trid that. i'm having tonnes of problems with mobs using 2x warriors, 1 rogue, and MC mage. makes the game exciting but damned near impossible to kill revenants. >.<

Given by whom? I have 10 private documents now.

 

[Taz100420]

Shoot I use me(Mage), Alistair, Sten and Wynne<<<Is my party healer=Unstoppable.

I finally beat Uldread, easier than I thought lol. But With that party combo, I havent had a single person die yet.
Alistair and Sten are both Dual-wielders so damage is insane

i believe it was one of the million side quests given by the mages. just like the 10 lyrium pots one. don't take my word for it though. i doubt there'll be a big payoff anyway. i'll check when i get back home on the wekeend.

What is easier to play thru, the tower of magi or ozammar or what ever the dwafen kingdom is called?

 

[FordGT90Concept]

The Circle Tower. Just make sure to have a lot of healing potions on you because there is a lengthy part where you don't have any access to any pick ups.

Orzammar is ridiculously long and has multiple difficult parts.



FYI, level cap is 25.

 

[phanbuey]

the circle is easier... once you go into the fade, be sure to go to get the spirit form first, that way you an use crushing prison and rejuvenate.

Actually I would think to get the Golem first as its a tank and can takes some beating. You can always find a Lyrium vein and heal there, they are a dime a dozen in the Fade. The only part I had a problem was with the Ogre Demon or whatever its named, its tough! Good thing a Lyrium vein is near or I wouldnt of beat him.

And for ppl that make thier own Lyrium and Health potions, unlimited Elfroot is at the Dalish camp, unlimited Lyrium dust is at the Mages Tower after you beat Uldred, and unlimited Distillate Solutionns and Flasks are at the camp trader. Useful when when ya are out and need some!

 

[Laurijan]

Nearly done in the mage tower... was a lot of fun being in the fade as using all the different forms...

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I agree. I think the Cicle Tower is the most enjoyable of the four Blight tracks you have to complete. Orzammar I think would be fourth (its too freakin' long).

And the stat bonuses one get form finding the stat increase objects are just wonderful

Yep, this my exact party setup. I pretty much ignored Morrigan being a shape shifter and boosted her primal spells, and also gave Wynne a few, the result is so much area effect damage coupled with slowdown/knockdown effects that I simply mow down everything and anything. Half the time I order the party to hold position, so Alistair does absolutely nothing. The 40+ magic attribute on my main char really helps, too.

BTW, does anyone know where I can get the books/trainers for the Mage specializations ? I am specifically looking for the Arcane Warrior one, but all the rest would be nice to know, as well.

Shapeshifter you can learn from Morrigan and spirit healer form the gal you meet in the circle tower

Asus P5Q pro
2x2GB GSKILL PI Black
ATI 3870
and I am gaming at 1680x1050.

What is the ìtem "memory band" for?

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Look at the description (right click on it and click the option at the top). I think the memory band grands +1% experience points.

I just checked and that is indeed what it is for:

I've had no problems with signal loss. Try returning your clockspeeds to stock.

Arcane Warrior involves a Phylactery in the Forest Ruins (it has 3 area transitions, the phylactery is in the second area).
