Michas Wizardry 8 beginnerthread

Oops, yes you're right Loudhy. Sorry about that.

How about items for Faeries which boosts health and mana then?

[Loudhy]

I only know Amulet and Ankh of Healing HP+1 and Ring of Regeneration HP+4

I can't remember mana items, sorry.

Ok, this might be the worst question ever, and at the risk of sounding like a moron, here goes. I just got Wizardry 8 today, and at first I thought it wasnt't possible to move your party around in combat. There are a few spots in this topic where people have talked about moving in combat. So I tried again, and I can't figure it out. I can only rotate the screen around. So could someone let the newb in on the secret. Thanks

[Krull]

Doh, how could I forget the Ankh/Amulet of Healing. Thanks Loudhy.

Mind you, have never got the Ring of Regeneration, is that a guaranteed drop somewhere or is it random (I suspect the latter as I've never seen it as I said).

[Loudhy]

It's random. Found it once in Davy Jones Locker. Very rare, I think.

19.63% according to Flamestryke.

[Loudhy]

Then for me it's VERY, VERY, VERY rare ! .
The Cane of Corpus has 79.9 % and I killed the Don twice : No CoC !!!

Use the move command, it's at the bottom of the screen (choose walk or run).

Is there any other items that Faeries can wear that helps recovery of HP, stamina and mana?

I've Faeries caps. Don't recall what it did, IIRC it was only hit point regeneration (never had a faerie when i found this).

More common is the Fay ring (or ring of Fays?). IIRC high AC and stamina regeneration.

Don't recall suitable mana regeneration items (except Nebdar). But faerie has innate mana regeneration, which is a bit slower than the +1 from items, but you have it from game start.

I think a single faerie is a very good choice for mage or psionic (since they can't wear many things anyway), in parties with few pure spellcasters (otherwise you'll rest otfen anyway, so the mana regeneration doesn't help that much)

"I've Faeries caps. Don't recall what it did, IIRC it was only hit point regeneration (never had a faerie when i found this)."

I know the feeling, whenever I get Sprite's Daggers from those Tree Sprites next to Fuzzfaz (spelling?) in Trynton I have no Faeries in the party.

Edit: How do you insert quotes like in Wereboar's post above?
