Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

Thing about coop from my understanding is you can't like, make a char and join someone's game, it's a locked coop type of game where you make your char when they make theirs and then you can only play coop with them on that char. Whoever hosts I believe can keep playing regardless by controlling both chars, but like it's not entirely free form and shit so you need someone who will play as much as you/whenever you play for the best experience. It is other than that pretty good, and it seems it'd be a lot faster to complete non combat content(like all the city quests in cyseal) by splitting up and shit. You can also throw a barrel of oil at your friend and light him on fire.

For people who want to min max and shit btw, some important changes to homestead features:

First, the stat and skill books don't respawn every level. I think this is fairly well known, but an important thing, you don't have to rush to unlock it to get max amount of points.

Second, respecing doesn't remove your spells anymore. That means you don't need to worry about wether or not you have enough money to rebuy all your shit or craft the books that aren't sold in shops and all that shit. That also means you probably don't want to be like me and float a bunch of points so you don't mess up your build and don't have to respec cause fuck finding the books, now you can definitely pick all those early game talents like all skilled up and bigger and better and shit and respec out of them later at no cost(well 1k gold but eh).

Someone on reddit posted a PSA yesterday saying that Moloch was nerfed to 1 talent = 1 ability point. That would greatly change the value of those "useless" late game talents if it is true.

Is there some trick to getting good wands early on? Literally every fucking wand I loot or see on a vendor is fire damage. I've got a bunch of air essences so I could craft some, but there's only one recipe and it makes a really high level wand from what I understand.

Hmm he did say 1 for 1, but I haven't actually tested so not sure, though I guess that makes sense as it was kinda strong at 10 for 1. Not sure about crafting wands, I have 2 mages and they always have a good assortment of wands of the right level, but I don't DW so they only use 1 wand each which is fine. I also don't use them for damage, mostly CC/summons/buffs and wand stuff when I have nothing better to do. I would assume crafting works the same way it does for every other weapon though, that is to say it gives you a wand equal to your level, with bonuses based on your crafting level(so 5 would give it like +1int or whatever). That's how every other weapon works.

And Caliane, respec is still the same. It can be done relatively early though, but you need a fairly solid group since you need to fight that boss guy in the trial, they're lvl 13. I did it at 10 and it was rough and was very reliant on CCing the boss so he wouldn't do his fucking nonsense shit and kill him first. I think if you barrel him while he's talking to you, it could probably be done at like 7 or 8. You get 3 stones for that, 2 in cyseal, 1 on the side of the road right before leaving cyseal for the forest so you'd need only one more, like say black cove one which is doable pretty early, or if you just do the story the last boss of cyseal also has one.

For crafting gear, you want to buy some, but there's only 2 slots with +crafting, bracers and belt and belt only start spawning at 7 or 8 iirc. Once they do though, definitely get one. Or just use a henchman bitch with crafting on it. I don't know about leveling up with you though. Jahan is fine, he has Scientist too so that's +1 for free. Find the 2 items and you only need 3 ability points to get it done.

And ironically, I haven't found a fire wand since lvl 3. I only get water/air ones. Air ones are annoying as shit too cause they electrify pools of blood randomly so I try not to use them, at least fire do good damage(other than against fire mobs obviously).

Encountered a strange bug. Arhu has disappeared from his study and I can't find him anywhere.

Super annoying.

Edit: whoops was scrolled up. He still should be somewhere from a triggered cutscene though. Did you ever talk to him at the entrance of the city? I think you're forced to, but might as well check, that and every portal in town, and the forest if you went there just to check(the area past the fire stuff).
