Found a pretty decent sword at a vendor 70-75 dmg +29 phisical +8% str  +9% AS plus 40% of Achilles and a bit of lightning dmg. Payed it some 3 millions if i remember, but money is here to be spent not to be kept in the chest and i have more than 50M away ready to be spent.

Also found a shield with +2 def skill, but need some carapace to enhance it and i know it drops from beetles in egypt; could use it with Talsos, no arrows, but sure not where there are archers around.

Found the Lionheart recipe, with some nice stats and +1 defence skill,  but ATM i only have the Molten Orb, missing recipes of Raven Shadow and Tome of Transfiguration

Reached Knossos and found Talos the big automaton; fairly easy to kill, just need to drink a couple potions, even if his stun is very strong considering i have 80% resistance, and quick to reach from first fountain inside Labyrinth. Think i'll farm him a couple dozen times, loot is interesting in four runs i got two blue

If i wear Cleansing Arachnos Chitin of Impulse with Poison 19% and Slow 72% res, no resistances on fire ice lightning i have Fire 43 Cold 10 Lightning 11
If i switch it to Juggernaut Ornamented Suit of Thorns that has 12 Elemental 24 Stun and some retribution i should IMPROVE fire cold Lightning but instead i go to Fire 55 Ice 2 Lightning 1; i imrove fire +12%  but reduce other two of 10%
it's because it's not 10 and 11 you're seeing but -10 and -11. you add 12 so it becomes 2 and 1. epic reduces resists by 40

Exactly; the snowflake and the lightning were covering the minus sign. Problem solved

You can take screenshots with the Print Screen button on your keyboard... i think they get saved somewhere in your TQ save folder. I'm not sure, because i use a program (Bandicam) to make screenshots.
Take some pics and share them, to see where the problem with your resistances is, you must be missing something here...

If you want good results from farming, 10-20 Cyclops runs, are not going to cut it, unless you get very lucky. I can't really tell how good Polyphemus is for getting loot, since i never farm him on epic. In Epic i only run the Boar Snatcher and Talos.

Boar Snatcher, just met him, dont remember where but wasnt long ago, ATM i just met the blacksmith after the swamp. Need to look at the wiki and backstep a bit
Is Shadowsomething big black wolf in the side cave worth farming; tried it with a death desire and stomped it like a bug when i remember him killing me easy on normal; no majestic chest and no meaningful drop.

I tought that ELEMENTAL resistance were fire, cold and lightning, but i have a piece of armor 12% elemental res that when equipped raises fire by 12 but reduces cold and lightning by 10. How does elemental res work?

Where can i look for a sword to replace the sabertooth that begins to get old?

It probably reduces the cold and light resistances because your old armor gives more cold and light res than your new one

Havent discovered yet how to attach screenshots, if i manage i will post them

Polyphemus farming was a waste of time; run it a dozen times and just got a couple shards and lots of money from the vendor, now i have 25M in cash; not a blue not a recipe. Now farming the Big Green Spider Arachna

A few questions:

I see a SAVE button but no LOAD one, and when i exit game it autosaves and restarts me at last fountain; what's the use of save?

i would skip the skelleton princes , they arent worthy to farm, probably Nessus-Tegea spider as they are near of the rebirth fountain making easy and more fast to do runs.

From Nessus i got the Outrider Buckler; good but not strong like it was at level 7, i probably have one better, and not reciclable to a newbie being lvl 24. Anything else worth farming?


Also farm Talos - day and night! :D

Talos master automaton, a new friend that guess i will find in Knossos with other automatons.

Any suggestion for something before Knossus lab looking for stonebinders +2?
My ideas are: Nessus, Spider Cave, Undead area with 3 lords, Polyphemus; bit more dubious about gorgon sisters, Kings valley, first Telkin. The same farmable at normal difficulty

Finished Hades; the final boss was easier than the Menae general and dropped a nice Halloweed helmet i immediatly put on my head.

Restarted the game in epic; satyrs are lvl 40 but arent more difficult than the lvl 2 ones agains a new char and drop nice stuff that my baby chars could use; once i reach Sparta i'll farm a bit the centaur boss and see what is chest drops.

ATM i just met Odisseus and entered the palace; first boss inside was easy: you are big i'll become bigger than you, let's see who pounds harder. Reaching the palace was fun but easier than going out from Hades; more or less same monsters but i knew how to engage them, next time will be even easier i guess.

Vitality attacks are the red explosions i guess, there is just before meeting Odisseus a Witch Queen or something doing huge damage that if approached from north you will have a full platoon of greek heroes at your side, if you are smart like i'm and approach her from east there is a hell of a fight but you receive congratulations from the heroes when you meet them and say i have already killed the bitch. I will look at vitality res, apart colossus and standard that raise it but wont last the time of a boss fight, dont know if i have equipment in storage; at worst i'll try some shopping around

I met the Machae and they delivered my arse back to me on a platter; archers are really nasty, when you hit them they dont stay put like most ranged monster do, but move around so you need to follow them to hit again and this while his friends keep shooting. Died a few times even after rising my pierce res to 50%; other monsters: ice and fire demons, are a piece of cake just remember to use the fire or cold ring if they are red or blue, the flying pink poisonous squids are instead really nasty vith their poison cloud bombs; had to buy a new hat with poison res not to die every time.
I dont remember a particular boss fight, a boss killed me but i had my rematch using colossus and a lot of potions. I barely manage to pay potions selling the loot i get in the dungeon; i use near 50 every level, luckily i have some 4 mils in cash so i'm not worried too much.

Now i just met Agamennon in Elysium; the landscape doesnt look hellish anymore, but i dont expect it will be a stroll to the end. Lets see how it goes, my educated guess is that final boss will be another run hit die resurrect like Titan was and i hope loot will be better because the Titan just dropped some shards and a few yellows, not even a green piece.

New spec is fun; it's incredible how fast i chop even if i dont see the 500 hits like before i see very many 200 250; is there a way to see when one of my passives procs?

Found at a vendor a divine amulet +1 skills and equipped it; whats better enhancement? plumes for poison with choice beetween 15 bleed res or 15 DA looks interesting as is Ajax with 21 res sleep stun slow and 15 vitality resistance; i guess i will use this amulet for a long time.

LOL i was playing my petmaster Nature Spirit that is also in China and when reaching Chang an i found another Sabertooth, looks like it's a common drop, or that i need to buy a lottery ticket today

The new one has +39 AS the old was 30 but the old one has a 10 vitality damage the new one none. Same values for OA and DEX I think the new one is better for the build i'm doing so l put Achilles on it, a single shard first and a full one later and now i have a nice 207% Attack Speed on top of a Very Fast blade, passives will trigger often

Respecced again, now i have Pulverize 6 Armor Handling 5 and one point in the other two, just in case i find the +skill helmet.

Think i'm ready to go back to Hades and start chopping bad guys; i'll update once i find some interesting fight. I'm in the Plains of Judgement, just explored a little and found nothing worth reporting.

It's my lucky day, got a sabertooth in the first run after killing some 20 tigers: 35-42 Dmg 10 Vitality dmg 15 Dex 17 OA and a juicy 30% Attack speed Now i have 176% AS

It's interesting that DPS didn change from my old mace 443 vs 447, the speed compensate for the lower punch; what's the best way to improve it? I have an Anubis Wrath +50 dmg vs undead and +8% AS and two Achilles 5 dmg +12 AS and 33% slower attack or 5% chance stun for 2 sec; a Prometheus with fire dmg and a 23% Fire resist looks less interesting if i need to pump up speed

If Ghosts are undead, they should even if they are marked Ghost i'd go for Anubis if not for the slowing enemies Achilles; waiting for your opinion while playing a bit with a low level char, have a couple of them that are doing very well in Greece and are also fun to play

I respecced a little bit, just removed Quick Recovery and a two points in Disruption to put them into Pulverize; now with the new sword i'll remove Batter and put points in Pulverize and Armor Handling

About Rally was my mistake, i meant Battle Awareness tree; there are no Rally points in the build suggested; what leaves me a bit perplexed is removing points from Onslaught to put them in Pulverize and Iron Will when you say to reallocate them in Onslaught as a priority in next levels; as a first step i'll remove batter, Quick Recovery, Dodge  and a couple points in Disruption and i put them in Pulverize. It's not i dont trust you it's that i love Onslaught too much; seeing my yellow circle getting thick and my enemies falling is too much fun, in next levels i'll allocate points as you suggest, things should catch up in a few levels.

To farm yellows for gold is something i stopped doing after having some 3 millions in cash is just a little annoyance, nothing compared to running the same four rooms a shitload of times to get the stonebinders. This game has no inventory management, you can always portal to a vendor, so i'll keep doing it.

ATM my exact build is this one; maybe i missed a quest, havent checked
https://www.tqcalc.com/TitanCalc738c738c738c.html?mastery=Conquerer&master1=5&master2=3&sa=0&m1=32-0-1-3-1-0-0-1-1-0-2-1-0-1-3-0-3-3-0-1-1-0-0-0-0&m2=32-6-1-8-0-1-1-1-0-1-1-0-0-0-0-2-0-0-0-1-0-0-0-0-0

I already looked at the farming video, it's where i found the stonebinder farming in labirynth; now i'll give a try at the tiger in China to try get the Sabertooth; there are plenty of tigers, way more than the gorgons in the lab; perhaps it's better first get the fast sword and later respec to get advantage from it.

Skyrim on legendary is a different kind on min max. You need to become the stronger WITHOUT leveling up because the level of enemies you get depends from your level so you need to spend a few hours going around collecting flowers and fishes and avoiding fights at all cost because even a rat is a deadly opponent until you have some serious equipment; the story will wait, and i mean wait a lot before tackling the first dragon.

I looked at your titan video; just wish to be able to move and react fast as you do. Micro management is very important here and the times i went into trouble with my archer for misclicking a monster and running into the mob are way too many; at least the conqueror is built to go in the middle of the fight and stay there being hit while hacking and slashing, a lot less precision needed.

Long detailed answer, lot of stuff to look at, thanks a lot; very nice from you.

Just a few things before i look at the details and try the new respec:

First thing; to respec is the guy with a blue ball over his head found in big market cities?

At first glance the spec you suggest isnt very different from mine; i should remove 7 points from Onslaught, that looked so good to me, and put them in Armor Handling and in the Rally tree, remove Batter and put points in Iron Will. Not a great change.i

You also suggest using a fast weapon to get the best from passives in the rightmost Defence column; i get the logic: low chance skills but many more attempts using a fast weapon. Replacing my mace with the Blue sword Yin i have in storage i go from 124 to 150 Attack Speed, i gain some DA and i get a strange +98% life leech without a base number to calculate the 98% (IMHO life leech is useless as a mean of regaining HPS
I was already looking for an hallowed helmet but i never found one in dunno how many vendors i visited as i never found a divine amulet +skill; i also already farmed the stonebinder cuffs to discover they look weak compared to the blue i have with better armor, 10% attack speed, 23 Str and the 10% chance of a nice retaliation  (Lazarus Bracers)

Last thing before going to bed because here it's 2 AM: you suggest to continue playing Epic after finishing the game even if i'm suffering a lot in normal difficulty. In Skyrim Fallout i play at the hardest level, but unless i want to play a two handed heavy warrior i can perfecly manage everything the game puts against me; here i'm playing one of the strongest classes, even if not perfectly optimized and i'm suffering as hell to finish the game; killing the Titan i was very close to stop and play something else; i died 30 times and i continued just for not leaving the game unfinished just because i had the inspiration to use Charge and die and try again; every other attempts made the titan stronger than before i attacked him including bow hit and flee and summoning cyclops from a scroll. I'm not sure i want to face the Gorgon Queens or the superghost i forgot the name.

PS
I hate the CAPCHA in this forum

I'm new of the game, got it from Steam in free offer, but not new to this kind of games even if i found this one, compared to other RPG like Skyrim, very micro unfriendly and that could be the reason i'm doing that bad.

After a few unsuccessful attempts and after readin a lot of guides on the net i managed to create a couple good characters. My best one, and the one i'm asking help for, is a Conqueror Defence and Warfare; everything went very smooth, i killed easy Polyphemus, the Gorgon sisters and all Telkine, until i reached Olimpus. Before that i think i died two three times, to kill the cyclop i died 40 times because the only way i found to kill him was: Colossus, Shield Charge, a few, very few indeed hits, Die, resurrect, repeat until cyclop dead, but i'm not asking how to kill him easier and farm, seen how i'm going now i dont think i will restart at an harder difficulty level, i'm asking help because from Rhodes on, now i'm in Hades, i started to die often and after depleting a stack of near 150 health potions i had to buy 100 more to continue; i want to finish the game and if possible not die every other group of monsters i meet.

Being an old time gamer i well know the basic strategies like pulling, kiting etc; being a very old time gamer i think i know how to equip my character: fixed bonus use fast weapon, big multiplier on special attack use a slow powerful one, try not to use weapons with a kind of damage your opponent is resistant; being a REALLY old time gamer, i played DOOM the original and i was already an adult, my micro sucks and there is little i can do.

My build, according to some guides i read is pretty standard for the character: i'm level 35, i have both masteries maxed at 32; in Warfare: weapon training and onslaught maxed, a couple points in Standard and his child, a single point in Onlaught childs; in Defense: a couple points in Battle Awareness and his childs, one in Quick Recovery Shield Charge and all the passives on rightmost column, a few point in Charge child Disruption

My usual tactics is: look for the enemy caster, wait for someone near him, Shield Charge to mass stun, Standard, and hit using Batter when out of cooldown. This worked very well in Greece and Egypt, fairly well in China and sucks in Rhodes; when i win i always have to drink a potion to recover my health and very often a couple others during the fight. My armor is 333 OA 488 (i score nice crits often) DA 328 and resistances around 20%
My base stats are HPS 3558, mana 340, Str 469 Int 70 and Dex 266; havent found yet any Str Dex equipment i like but cannot use, i obviously sell all Int stuff
Most my equipment is blue apart a green, but Prometheus enhanced, mace DPS 450 and a yellow shield with +1 defence skill Archimedes enhanced; artifact is the Shroud of Eternal Night, a really powerful one that enhanced my life quality a lot when equipped, i have a few higher level ones but they dont look that good, and i realized that selling all duplicate blueprint was a stupid thing because i have the blueprint for an advaced one that requires an artifact i have but cannot rebuild

Regards
