STRATEGY TIPS

• Tier 2 nests of most breeds yield 900 points per tap, for a total of 3,600 to 6,300 points per nest.
• High level Goal Stars are an excellent source of points; the exact number of taps available varies by level and random chance.
  • L6 Star- 1056, L5 Star- 330, L4 Star- 99
• Level 2 Materials Chests offer unlimited quick and easy points; stockpiling stone bricks gives more flexibility than buying specific chests ahead of time:
  • Spectral Chest- 1305, Summoned Chest- 820, Chest of Beasts- 300, Solid Gold Chest- 80, Phobos Chest- 40
• Higher level free chests all yield well:
  • Treasure: L7- 1690, L6- 530, L5- 165, L4- 50
  • Grimm: L4- 792, L3- 240, L2- 72
  • Season: L4- 330, L3- 100, L2- 30
  • Bountiful (Level) Chests- 150
  • Kala’s Rucksacks- 250
• High level Life Trees can be harvested for quick points:
  • Life Orbs: L9- 1560, L8- 500, L7- 160, L6- 50
• These chains recharge fast and give unlimited taps; note that multiple mid-level items may earn more than one or two higher-level items.
  • Fruit Trees: L10 Watermelon- 34, L9 Pineapple- 30, L8 Dragon Fruit- 26, L7 Pear- 23,

TROUBLESHOOTING

• Try hard closing and then relaunching your game.
• If your device is running hot, stop playing and allow it to cool down.
• Try rebooting your device (ie, turn it completely off, then back on and allow it to fully boot up before relaunching the game).
• Try rebooting your wifi router (if you have access).
• Try switching to a completely different internet source.
• If you’re suddenly experiencing multiple issues like lagging or error messages, close the game and try again after an hour or two; events are server-based, and sometimes activity on that end can cause temporary problems.
• If nothing here helps, contact Gram Games Support through the in-game link or the official website for help figuring out what’s wrong.

General Technical Warnings:

• Cloud Save is still unreliable: according to the developer, it is not safe to be used and should be left turned off.
• Den Chests: To reduce your risk of missing chests or uncounted points, avoid playing while game servers are processing the cycle change.
• Saving your Progress: Make sure you travel to the World Map screen before closing your game to save your progress; saving immediately after earning or making high-value items is also recommended.

Final Fantasy IV is my favorite game of all time, so when they announced some things in this expansion would be based on FFIV, I was starstruck. As I played through Endwalker, I tried to take note of any reference I could find. If I missed any, please let me know!

• Lunar Whale Mount (Digital FanFest/Mogstation), which plays re-orchestrated version of the Lunar Whale theme from the game.
• Rosa, Rydia, Edge minions (Digital FanFest/Mogstation)
• Palom Minion (Pre-order Bonus)
• Porom Minion (Collector's Edition Bonus)
  • Palom and Porom have an interaction based on the hallway scene from FFIV
• The promotional Warrior of Light, who was a Dark Knight in Shadowbringers, has changed into a Paladin, just like Cecil Harvey.
• The Endwalker poster shows the promotional Warrior of Light in the same exact pose as Amano's Cecil artwork.

• This dungeon shares its name with Golbez's base of operations.
• Likewise, the dungeon music is a new version of the tower's theme in the game.
• The large mob, "Armored Fiend", is based on a monster with the same name in FFIV's Lunar Subterrane.
• The bosses "Minduruva," "Cinduruva," and "Sanduruva," also known as "The Magus Sisters," first appeared in FFIV's Tower of Zot, and their designs in FFXIV are heavily based on the original Amano artwork for FFIV's version. Their original names are "Mindy," "Cindy," and "Sandy."
  • The animations when each sister casts spells are the same as in FFIV - a green burst for black magic, and a ring of white cubes for white magic.
    • Turn up your sound effects! They also use the OG sounds!
  • The fight uses similar mechanics to the FFIV fight - Cinduruva will revive Minduruva and Sanduruva if they are defeated first, they utilize reflect, and when all three are alive, will use Delta Attack.

• "The Eblan Rime" area is named for the Kingdom of Eblan, Edward "Edge" Geraldine's home.
• The Level 90 S-Rank Mark "Armstrong" is the recolored version of the previously mentioned "Armored Fiend", specifically named for the FFIV: The After Years enemy.

• This dungeon shares its name with the tower in FFIV, and similarly shares a strong connection to the moon.
• The first boss, Barnabas, and the NPC with him, Dr. Lugae, are bosses within FFIV's Tower of Babil.
  • Barnabas mistakenly attacks the Doctor before attacking the party.
• The second boss, Lugae, is the robotic/fiend version that shows up after defeating the Doctor.
  • During the Lugae fight, Mini and Toad transformations are required - two of the three transformations prevalent in FFIV (I wish they would have included Piggy)

• The Watcher seems to be based on Fusoya, who is known as "The Watcher of the Lunar Sleep". Both live on the Moon and wear long starry robes.
• The giant face on the moon where the entrance to Smileton is a reference to the stone face on the moon in the original game. In the GBA/PSP versions, it is the entrance to the Lunar Ruins. In the 3D version, it is where you fight Proto-Babil.
• The Level 90 A-Rank Elite Mark "Mousse Princess" is based on "Flan Princess", which first appeared as a rare enemy in FFIV's Lunar Subterrane.
• The mob "Mousse" is based on the "White Mousse" enemies on the moon in FFIV: The After Years
• The mob "Dynamite" may be based on the "Balloon"/"Dark Grenade" monsters on the Moon in FFIV.

• Loporrits are based on Hummingways, the race of rabbits that live on the moon.
• In the 2D versions of FFIV, the character Namingway's role was to rename player characters. Because voice acting was added in the 3D version, he could no longer fulfill this role, and took on several other names throughout the game. Most of these names are taken by Loporrits: Mappingway, Livingway, Recordingway, Campingway, Puddingway, Mopingway
  • Another, Going-my-Way, is involved in a Bestways Burrow sidequest.
  • The landmark "Lovingway's Darlings" is also a Namingway alias.
  • Later, in Old Sharlayan, two more of these names are used: Cheatingway and Jammingway.
    • IF ANYONE FINDS HUMMINGWAY, or WEDDINGWAY, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
• In FFIV, most Hummingways can't talk and instead hum a tune. The sound heard when talking to many Loporrits is that same tune. You can do the hum during the MSQ too!
• The Final Fantasy victory theme that plays when meeting Loporrits seems most similar to FFIV's instrumentation.
• The area music is the FFIV Town Theme (Welcome to Our Town)
• The battle music in the area is the FFIV main battle theme.

• The Lalafell engineer Kokkol is named for the blacksmith Kokkol.
• The "Kokkol's Forge" landmark is named for the location in FFIV's Underworld.

• The Dragons near the first Aethryte appear to be Mist Dragons, the summon used by Rydia's Mother (and previous boss in XIV in the dungeon "The Burn")
• FFIV is full of characters sacrificing themselves to help move Cecil and his party forward - the Scions sacrifice themselves throughout this zone to move the WoL forward.

• The trial's arena is a flight through space, very similar to the Zemus/Zeromus fight. Some attack sound effects are also similar.
• Halfway through the fight, the party seems defeated, and the prayers of friends saves the team and pushes them to fight the final phase. This happens during the final fight of FFIV as well.
• Meteion may be based on Maenad from FFIV: The After Years.
  • Both are part of a hivemind of identical young girls
  • Both are sent to other worlds by their creators
  • Both struggle to understand humanity and appear throughout the world leaving destruction in their wakes (the big difference is that one struggles to feel, and the other feels too much).
  • One last survivor of their kind is left and they return to the world with a new outlook and a new lease on life (Meteion as the bluebird and the young Maenad "Cuore", who is taken in by Rydia and Edge).
    • Big thanks to u/Baithin for this theory!

• The constant references to "4" may be a reference?

• "Moonward" gear (Level 90 tomestone gear) is based on FFIV characters.
  • Fending is based on Cecil
  • Scouting is based on Edge
  • Aiming is based on Edward
  • Casting is based on Rydia
    • Since someone points this out every time - Healing is technically Rosa's color scheme, but it's still Rydia's outfit, and Maiming may be Dark Knight Cecil's or Kain's color scheme, but still Paladin's outfit. All of the sets are based on the four characters above, but only the four above are the correct color schemes for those characters.

• The "Knight in Black" scene is preceded by a bump that says "Meanwhile, elsewhere..." which is text used in FFIV whenever the game shows events not involving the party, usually Golbez.
• The Knight in Black is revealed to be Golbez in 6.2. His armor matches Amano's original art and "Somewhere In The World" plays throughout the scene. Golbez is also referred to as "Man in Black" in the game.
• He speaks with four unseen characters, referred to as "Throne of Earth/Fire/Wind/Water" - which are presumably the four Elemental Fiends, Scarmiglione, Rubicante, Barbariccia, and Cagnazzo.
  • The "Throne of Earth" character speaks like Scarmiglione, with elongated S's.

• Troia is the matriarchal kingdom in FFIV, inhabited mostly by women, that practices fairly strict neutrality/pacifism.
• The music that plays is a much slower, sadder version of the town's theme.
• The arena for the second boss fight is a throne room. It has eight fire cauldrons, and the ceiling has eight points - possibly referencing the 8 Epopts of Troia (the matriarchal rulers).
• The arena for the final boss is "The Garden of the Epopts"
• Scarmiglione is the final boss, with an appearance much closer to Amano's original artwork.
  • He starts the fight by back-stabbing something. In FFIV, his second fight is a back-attack.
  • He summons a horde of zombies. In FFIV, his first fight is with a horde of zombies.
• The FFIV Boss Battle theme, "Battle 2", has been re-orchestrated and plays throughout the fight.
• The FFIV battle transition sound effect in the trailer is taken directly from the original game.
• Golbez has officially been named! Scarmiglione refers to himself as one of Golbez's "Circle of Four"

• When Y'shtola gives the Dark-Robed Voidsent her name "Zero", the music that plays is a re-orchestrated and expanded "Sorrow and Loss" - the song that played during all sad scenes in FFIV. It is also known as Cry in Sorrow and Theme of Sorrow. It is a sad version of the Main Overworld Theme. (Will Zero be Zeromus?!)
• Scarmiglione returns for a second fight in a solo instance. In FFIV, you fight him twice.
  • His call to his minions to: "Come, feassst upon their flesh!" is a reference to his line in the game: "My undead children hunger to feassst upon your flesh! "
  • His line "You will tremble before my true ssstrength!" is a reference to his line in the game: "Impressssive...But my true ssstrength lies in death! And now, you shall join me in it! "

• Sorrow and Loss continues to play as the area theme.
• Common monster-types from FFIV appear in this area, including Mindflayer and Flan.
• Ciriatto is terrified of Barbariccia, the Archfiend of Wind. This is the first reference to her.
  • Not specifically FFIV, but worth noting: Calcabrina, Scarmiglione, Cagnazzo, Barbariccia, Rubicante, Ciriatto, and Farfarello are all from Dante's Inferno. Farfarello is an enemy in FFV.
• Barbariccia appears. Her body is more covered than previous depictions.
• Some believe that Zero's Domain is based on the town of Baron, with Zero's house being where Rosa's house would be. I don't personally see it, but I'm putting this here just in case.

• The theme in this area/trial is "Battle with the Four Fiends", which in FFIV plays when battling any of titular fiends. It is also known as "The Dreadful Fight."
• Barbariccia is the boss fight, and uses haiwind themed attacks. The tornadoes she summons are similar to her tornado attack in FFIV.
• Estinien's line before the fight "You're not the only one who can ride the wind!" is a line spoken by Kain to Barbariccia just before her boss fight in the 3D remake as well as Dissidia. The line was originally "Think you're the only one who can fight in the air?" in the SNES version and later versions of the game replaced it with "Let's see about that."

• The first "Dated Records" references the "Geraldines" as a thorn in the writer's side. Edward "Edge" Geraldine is the Ninja from Eblan, as mentioned earlier.
  • The note also mentions that the Geraldines are trying to take their supplies. Edge can use the Steal ability.
• Cagnazzo is the boss fight, with an appearance somewhat closer to Amano's art, although he stands upright instead of on all fours.
• His giant wave attack after the DPS check is similar to his primary attack in FFIV.

• This is the location in FFIV where Cecil fights Scarmiglione, thenovercomes his darkness and becomes a Paladin.
  • In the remakes, there are bonus trials here for other characters.
  • Zero's decision on Mount Ordeals to fight with the WoL and his friends and no longer require payment may be her version of "overcoming her darkness."
• Rubicante is the trial boss, and just like the others his appearance is very close to his original Amano artwork
  • Rubicante's dialogue suggests that he respects you as a warrior, a character trait he also had in the original game.
  • His "inferno" ability is one of his attacks in the game.
• An alternate, lyrical version of "Battle with the Four Fiends" plays during this fight. This was written by Kenichi Maeyamada (aka Hyadain) and is based on his fan cover version from 15 years ago. The lyrics have been changed, but the instrumentation is identical.

• The final boss is Octomammoth - the third boss in FFIV (second if you don't count the Captain), fought after rescuing Rydia and meeting Tellah.

• "Another Moon" - A eerier version of the song of the same name that plays on the surface of the moon in FFIV.
• This moon's surface is red, a reference to the Red Moon of FFIV (the game has two moons.)
• During the flashback sequence, Durante mentions visiting "his majesty in Baron" - Baron is the kingdom in FFIV that Cecil (and Rosa/Kain/Cid) are from, and the events in Baron are the catalyst for most of the story.
  • Durante's appearance might be referencing how Golbez looks without his armor from FFTAY.
• Azdaja is turned into Shadow Dragon - Golbez's companion in FFIV.

• Golbez is the trial boss!
• "Voidcast Savior" - A remix of Battle with the Four Fiends, FFIV Main Theme, the Final Fantasy Prelude, and the Final Fantasy Prologue. (IT'S SO GOOD)
• The black sword he wields is a reference to the Ebony Blade - the weapon equipped by him in flashback scenes in The After Years (obtainable in the present by unequipping it in flashbacks.)
• Golbez's "Binding Cold" attack is what he uses to paralyze the party during their encounter with him in the Dwarven Castle.
• The attack "Black Fang" is an attack that Shadow Dragon uses in that same battle to kill off each party member one by one after Golbez uses Binding Cold.
• The elemental aspects of this fight as well as the poses Golbez takes are references to his role in Dissidia.

• Z E R O M U S HAS ARRIVED. He is the final boss and ultimate mastermind of the events of FFIV, shown here in his cloaked form. It seems we've skipped his Zemus form.

• The Golbez we fought is implied to be Durante in Golbez's armor, fighting in Golbez's honor. This supports the previous note that Durante's appearance may be based on the FFTAY Golbez's armor-less appearance.

• 5th Level
  • Mind Twist
    • This spell has been changed to affect your allies alongside your enemies.
    • This is a major nerf to the spell; however, it is still really good against enemies (even on cataclysm difficulty), and a spell I used to reliably burn legendary resistances from bosses -- it just takes better positioning on the part of your party to use well in-combat. It isn't S-tier anymore as a spell, but still a strong A-tier.
• 7th Level
  • Arcane Sword
    • Spiritual Weapon that uses both a higher spell slot and requires concentration. Although true to 5e, it's likely the worst new spell added to Solasta. F-tier.
  • Conjure Celestial
    • A summon option for clerics alongside their Divine Intervention ability (when that works). A solid summon spell in unmodded Solasta, though lags behind other upcasted summon options if you use the UB mod. On the border between high B-tier & low A-tier right now for me, due to the options you have between the summons.
  • Delayed Blast Fireball
    • I can see the usefulness for this on a sorcerer with subtle spell metamagic (new addition with this DLC) if you are using a sneaky party and want some strong round 1 AoE damage. Beyond that circumstance, I'd rather just stick with other options. C-tier
  • Divine Word
    • The ability to instakill up to 6 enemy elementals or fiends on a failed CHA save (both of which you encounter a decent amount of in the PoI campaign) is really good. The HP threshold stuff for other enemies isn't great through, so only B-tier for me. Keep it prepped for those circumstances though.
  • Finger of Death
    • Single target CON save damaging spell. It's only saving grace in 5e is the rez as a zombie if it kills a humanoid, but it doesn't seem to do that from my testing of the spell. There are better dpr spells to choose frankly at this level. F-tier
  • Fire Storm
    • A wall of fire spell that only lasts one turn & doesn't require concentration. I can see why people may pick it, but again there are better lower-level dpr spells you can upcast to do the job here. F-tier
  • Gravity Slam
    • When it comes to AoE damage spells, we expect them to do more than just damage when added at these levels, and this spell doesn't disappoint. It being a STR save also means it's solid against spellcaster to incapacitate them. B-tier for me.
  • Prismatic Spray
    • Admittedly haven't tested this spell yet, but if its not buffed from its 5e version it isn't going to rank very high. Provisional C-tier until I get to test it.
  • Regenerate
    • On lower difficulties, this spell is probably S-tier for a frontliner if "merciless AI" is turned off -- as it can end up being worth a ton of healing words to bring them from unconscious back to conscious. On cataclysm difficulty, it just isn't as great honestly. C-tier.
  • Resurrection
    • Only needed if someone dies to a disintegrate spell. Otherwise, other reviving options are good replacements for it. Didn't happen in my playthrough, but could be situationally useful in custom campaigns. C-tier
  • Symbol
    • In practice, this is the eyebite spell with more options, but requires resources to cast & 1 higher spell slot in lieu of its concentration. Very situational. C-tier.
• 8th Level
  • Dominate Monster
    • High risk, high reward spell to turn an enemy into an ally. Alongside the initial save, they get to save on each of their turns & whenever they take damage. It isn't going to last long for the worthwhile enemies to cast this one, but really good if you get lucky. C-tier
  • Earthquake
    • Essentially spike growth tailored against spellcasters, but also is decently effective against melee enemies that can't fly. B-tier only because so many enemies have flight options at this point.
  • Feeblemind
    • Take out an enemy spellcaster with a single spell (if they fail their save), and its saves on subsequent turns are fairly pointless as their mental scores are all 1's. Nerfed vs the 5e version to only last 1 minute, but that is more than enough time. A-tier
  • Holy Aura
    • The most effective cleric spell in the final final fight of the game. B-tier spell for all other occasions
  • Incendiary Cloud
    • Yet another fog cloud alternative with extra riders on it. It does more reliable damage vs an upcasted Cloudkill (DEX save vs CON save), but it is fire damage in a campaign with a lot of enemies resistance or immune to that damage type. F-tier
  • Maze
    • A more expensive banishment spell that is much more reliable. A strong spell to use on a boss after you have burned their legendary resistances. A-tier.
  • Power Word Stun
    • Another single target CON save spell. Thankfully it doesn't require concentration & can potentially last more than 1 turn. C-tier
  • Spell Ward
    • Designed as a mobile version of globe of invulnerability; however, both spells are bugged right now to let in most cantrips & spells right now. If it is bug-fixed, I'd easily rank it A-tier -- but in its current state, a spell to avoid entirely.
  • Sunburst
    • A daylight spell that is much bigger, does damage to anyone in its area, and is much harder to use. A weaker thunderstorm in many ways & still a CON save. C-tier.
  • Thunderstorm
    • An AoE CON save spell that inflicts damage & potentially stuns enemies in the area. In many ways this is just the superior power word stun, as it at least hurts enemies alongside trying to stun them. C-tier
• Spells I can't test...
  • Divine Blade (8th level)
    • No spellcaster has access to this spell currently, so I can't test it. We will find out eventually if the spell was cut or if it just not added to anyone's spell list.

• Disclaimers & Biases
  • Cataclysm difficulty w/o UB mod features/spell/subclasses.
    • Not on ironman, due to expecting gamebreaking bugs (of which I encountered two -- each of which required loading older saves & avoid certain spells causing the bugs)
  • Point-buy party starting fresh at level 10
    • Motherland Paladin, Battle Cleric, Marksman Ranger, & Loremaster Wizard
    • I figured to play a "traditional" party akin to what many regular players would use, to have a more fair comparison of difficulty.
    • I also didn't use my CotM party, as having everyone have 22-24 in their main start at the start, combined with level 16, was a little overkill (the game saves your XP across campaigns -- so my OG party prepped for this campaign instantly went to level 16 on my first long rest...)
  • There are some rebalancing that will be occurring with some of the subclasses + bugs to fix with others, so I won't be fully ranking the subclasses for PoI until we receive a few more patches
    • E.g. -- in my run, my Marksman Ranger didn't get her 3rd main attack at level 15
• Puzzles
  • Teleporter puzzle
    • For some reason forces you to decipher the books, even if you understand what you are supposed to do -- not really sure why.
    • Options to read those books -- Spy's Cypher (if you have the spy background), comprehend languages (via potion, spell, or item), or have a ring that lets you understand all languages
  • Volcano puzzle
    • It sadly took be a while to realize what you needed to destroy & how. Part of it might be to me having a color deficiency, and those things looking similar to the spiky things you can't destroy until the end of the game.
    • Beyond that, the puzzle was just standing on the platforms and aligning the levers with the holes. Not that hard
• Combat difficulty
  • Of the 3 campaigns thus far, by far the easiest campaign at its earliest levels.
  • Besides the optional Exonaika dragon fight in Telema (a 700 HP dragon with legendary actions/resistances vs a level 11 party w/o UB mod subclasses/feats is a bit to deal with), most of the combats weren't that difficult.
    • Part of the problem honestly was that the campaign had to be designed so you could go to any clan's area right after the initial stuff with Vigdis in the initial city. As thus, most of the battles weren't that engaging nor tactically tough to beat.
    • Then again, like CotM, TA had to balance the encounters around your party not having any spells at all -- so once I do my spell-less party run I'll re-evaluate overall difficulty.
  • Most of the new enemies have resistance to fire or cold damage, and advantage on spell saving throws. As thus, I imagine Law Cleric, Balance Druid, and Hive Warlock would make fighting them easier. Being smart with your spells still made most of the enemies relatively trivial to beat.
    • I appreciated how TA was smart enough to spawn the enemies all apart from each other, so winning initiative and a good control spell couldn't just auto-win the fights. It takes more creative & adaptive tactics -- and I appreciated that in a higher-level campaign, as that should expect more out of you.
  • Palace of Ice area of the game
    • Like CotM final stretch, this area doesn't allow for long rests. However, unlike CotM, you actually have several boss fights in the area. As your martials ideally all have +3 weapons at this point, the debuffs essentially make your "to-hit" chance like a normal weapon. The saving throw debuffs is what hurts the most here, and is why having a Paladin with high CHA IMO is critical.
    • 7 fights total, 3 of them have bosses; all battles allow you to short-rest between them. The 4 non-boss fights unfortunately have extra ally/allies assisting you, which gives you free meat shields to deal with those enemies without costing valuable resources. I imagine on lower difficulties, they might actually be effective enough to defeat some of the enemies for you as well.
• Story
  • Honestly about the same overall as the CotM campaign -- except less crazy at the end.
    • You start with someone asking you to look into a mystery, which turns into a multi-part fetch quest (people & a legendary weapon instead of just gems this time), teleport to a multi-part final battle without the ability to long rest once you go there, and some ok cutscenes at the end.
    • I was a little disappointed our whole party didn't get stuck at the end of the campaign. From the dialogue of the other NPC's prior to going to the Palace of Ice, it felt like the others didn't want to go with us because they didn't want to get stuck -- and would give a more compelling reason for Violet to more earnestly continue her research. At least in the last campaign, there was a compelling reason why our powerful allies wouldn't go with us; this time, much less so.
    • I honestly didn't search around for optional side-quests, as I was at max-level before going to the final clan area of main quests, and had the gold I wanted for the stuff at the vendors I wanted to buy. In my next run, I'll look to see if there are more side-quests to take.
  • As to the future of Solasta
    • TA is hinting that Violet's research would be what starts the crisis that would kick-off Solasta 2 -- her pursuing Exonaika's teleportation research and figuring out how to make a 9th level gate spell (IMO what is depicted at the end of both CotM & PoI). The introduction of the Tirmarian gods to Solasta fundamentally changed magic in the realm, and her opening other realms could be the excuse they need to change systems & looks for the game -- should they decide to pursue a Solasta 2.
    • We know that TA is still undecided between making a Solasta 2, or just doing an entirely different strategy game in a different world. Due to WotC working on their own virtual tabletop with the OneD&D system (D&D 5.5e, or whatever you want to call it), I don't see it as enticing for TA to adapt that new ruleset. Continuing the current 5e ruleset to a new game would also be tricky, betting on the new system being less popular vs the current 5e one.
    • IMO the most likely system Tactical Adventures would use would be Pathfinder 2e. Owlcat Games are focused on Warhammer right now, and there is a desire for people to play a truly adapted PF2e game (Kingermaker & WotR games cover the PF1e & PF1e mythic rulesets). Could they use other ones? For sure -- and I'd buy whatever they make -- but that's just the best guess I have right now.

• See my personal post on the important patch note changes with this DLC launch.
  • Many crafting recipes have changed.
    • Do not rely on wiki's for crafting materials for a while. We all need to look over the recipes again in-game and update those locations.
    • Crafting is overall faster, but will require someone actually talented enough to craft (a high INT character with appropriate proficiencies)
  • Many factions have different items & pricings for stuff now
    • Again, do not rely on wiki's nor past campaign knowledge for advice here. The +STR items require more faction reputation vs the past & require MUCH MORE GOLD than before.
  • Subtle spell metamagic now available for sorcerers.
    • Subtle spell is my favorite metamagic (careful is #2), so it is exciting to see that addition now. When I do the sorcerer metamagic post, I'll go into greater detail about why careful & subtle spell are both really good.
  • Many items no longer require attunement. Most important one? Ring of Darkvision.
