So am sort of stuck between missions,T Rang, want me to go find a missing person, and the Umpani want me to go find a missing person, any suggestions on which to do first and such?

I don't want to risk dropping a spoiler here. So first I'll ask, about what level is your party currently?

You need to have two of the three artefacts before you can find them but don’t talk to the bug/ rhino bosses in the meantime... portal helps!

Am around level 13 right now, I have the chaos malori, but need to garner money to buy the other one from the rats

So that we are very clear here... you are happy to have heavy spoilers?

ump and trang gain peace treaty, and go kill rapax , then you kill the prince, which leads to a teleport to the dark savant tower


Okay , so what should I do now that am at the spot I am in my CURRENT storyline

IMO;
1. kill the rat to get your next marble... return to Arnika inn too get word of the Rapax army.
2. Attack the Rapax Castle and become a templar.
3. Go to the wilderness Clearing... it should now be the army away camp.

Depending on your skills, you might be able to get the Astral Dominae from the Rattkin without killing him. I don't remember whether you can shoplift/pickpocket it, but if you have someone with alchemy in your party you can use the potion-combining ability to generate a mountain of cash (enough to buy up every item of interest in the game).

I believe you can buy it for a large sum of money. It's better to kill him, especially if you want the Cane of Corpus for your fairy ninjas.

It's quite tricky fight for low level party, if you want to hear some tips that worked for me, read further:
- offensive magic is useless
- protective spells very useful
- music to increase attack speed - definetely YES (rousing drums if I recall correctly)
- superman potion/spell to your damage dealers
- mana potions to healers, stamina potions to bard

this is what worked for me. btw, I have heard someone managed to steal Corpus Cane from him, but even after hours I did not succeed.

Well my folks are level 13 right now, I have myles, vi, a lord, a priest, a samuari , a bard, a rogue , and ranger.

My priest focused mostly on buff spells, my samuai I just saved on spell selection until he got high level, and had him pick some buffs.

So am usually running around pre combat with , Enchanted blade, Magic Screen, Armorskin or something like that, and missile shield, with a bunch of healing abilities from my priest,lord,ranger, and vi the valikire.

My bard can Haste, Hex, Sleep, bless , insanity, and sonic scream like spell. She also has stamina necklaces, so she will have a full yellow bar all day, and allows me to run even if the rest of my party is passed out .

My Lord is still using the cursed sword from the arnika bank, but I rather like it, does nice damage and haven't found anything that really does more with it, especially when my lord can go berserk and attack 5 times with a haste spell, and I will throw a superman spell from my priest on him.

Everyone else is mostly common level gear, nothing with large name sake or such although my hasted rogue with a doubleshot sling, can knock usually something unconscious in about 3 rounds, while my bard makes everything insane.



As for tricky fight, My ranger insta kiilled the level 18 dijinn during the umpani basic training, when I was only level 10 :D
