Mysteriously lowered stats...

Oruboris · 08-28-2003, 05:57 AM

Confession: decided to boost the difficulty, and as a 'reward' for myself, hid out for a month with courprus, resulting in 130 str, 130 end [already had 100 in each].

First fight after wards [the Magus staff sub-quest Ajira tells you about], 3 dagoths, 2 wizard women, no real problem taking them out, BUT my str. dropped to 118, end didn't change.

And no amount of casting restore atribute or using the imperial altars helped.

So I'm thinking the inflated stats from courprus can't be restored, OR my game is being buggy-- not impossible, as my bound longsword, bow and cuirass remain in my inventory even when I take off the item I enchanted them to, though the spear still comes and goes as it should.

Happily, reloaded an earlier save, stats were there, did the dungeon over. Stats didn't drop this time, but I'm wondering if this is as it should be, or if I'm going to have to save often and watch the numbers closely.

Have you got corpus but didn't cure it, your stats will drop over time.

You can only restore attributes up to 100... or the present level before being drained.
Same thing goes with enchanted armor...
You have to take the armor off before you can restore your attributes, then you can put it back on.

Since there is no way to restore your STR and END above 100 again, the only thing to do is to reload everytime you get drained or... don`t care and just play on.

Well, shoot!

Wouldn't have wasted all that time if I'd known!

From the designer's point of veiw, it makes a lot of sense, though.

Biggest reason I wanted extra strength was the increased carrying capacity, but I now have enough money that I don't even bother picking up weapons/armor that isn't silver or better, I'm rarely over encumbered any way.

Plus I got that cool glove in the '6th house outpost' mission [where you get courprus] that gives +20 str. any way...

Thanks for the clarification!
