Tannoch,

You can find the elapsed time by letting the mouse cursor sit on the rotating clock in the lower left corner of the interface or by looking at your saved game screen (it usually displays the total elapsed game time there).

Thanks [img]smile.gif[/img]

I tended to waste more game time through IWD doing quests like restoring the severed hand to its former glory using the animals etc which took me several days to walk there and back everytime I found something, and I also wasted something like 10 days waiting for Nym's shield enchantment. I also had to rest a lot in the early part of the game due to low level cleric healing spells. HoW and TotLM did seem to go really fast, as between my cleric/ranger and paladin I could heal the whole party several times before needing to rest, and I used unfailing endurance to remove fatigue after hasting my top 3 fighters.

My best time is currently 44 days and sum hours, and all i got to do is go get 3 badges and kill Poquelin...So i count on finishing within 50-55 days total...but that's IWD only, dunno with HoF and ToL...and that's without that crappy bard song. My lvl 30 cleric 9 fighter does have 30 healing spells 21 lvl 4 and above [img]smile.gif[/img] ...ooh and all my 6 chars will be maxed before end of IWD and HOF...lol

that seems like an awefully high level cleric for only being that far. Are you playing HOF straight through? .

oops, that's the party that i brought back a second time...lol...maybe i forgot to say that...

yeah, that might have been a useful bit of info, lol .... [img]smile.gif[/img]

i think my time was far inexcess of 500 days...
but i was playing in HOF mode PLUS my IDW harder patch.

ahahaha, sry ppl if i made you think you were n00b... [img]smile.gif[/img] did you all start from lvl 1 then?

I did after going thru the game a few times before with various character mixes. [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color = lightgreen>canadianvixen, you might also want to seek out any items that regenerate your character. I think Edion has a sash that regenerates 1 hit point per turn; even being 150 hit points down would result in resting only 25 hours for full healing. Also, stock up on potions of healing and/or regeneration. Is there no ring of regeneration in this game (I can't remember)?

@ Dragonslayer: Of course. Why wouldn't you start from level 1? [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img] </font>
