r1cochet Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 HAHA... just thought of another question. So first day on installation using the modlauncher went perfect as well I used the manage mod button and activated several cool available modlets with no problem. I wanted to go back today and look at possibly activating other modlets since the initial experience went so smooth. I have tried for 2 days and when I hit the manage modlets button it does nothing. I mean you can tell its trying to launch but never does. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psouza4 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) I feel like I'm missing something. The quest asks me to create (and then place) a Fire Conjure, which requires a point in Fire Mastery. However, I can't train Fire Mastery -- even with 10/10 in Attribute: Sorcery, the UI tells me "You must increase your Attribute: Sorcery before purchasing this perk." It tells me that for Ice Mastery and Lightning Mastery too. It let me max out Alchemy Mastery, Essence Mastery, Spellcast Mastery, and Rune Mastery, but not those three. Are they unfinished or am I missing something? Alpha 17.4 (b4), single player (Steam) no other mods, also tried a17.4 dedicated (with other mods).

This intro book is given on the Toolbar of all new games.Thanks for the reply! I've read the purple book but didn't see any elixir. The skill tree descriptions don't mention that it's gated behind a quest, either, so that's what stumped me. It just says I don't have enough Skill: Sorcery attribute (which is maxed, hah). Good work so far, though -- just needs some hand-holding how to unlock stuff that is seemingly already unlocked.

Jamolisim Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I started the MOD and with Ravenhurst and it runs wonderful. I am so excited to play but I am having an issue understanding crafting. I looked at the Wiki and it had information but couldn't find anything on how to replenish your spells, craft spells and what all the different items do. Is there a YouTube video for noobs to this modlet? Â I know you are given 3 spells to start but when they get degraded/depleted (like when a stone axe gets to the point of needing a repair or new stone axe to be made), how to I "repair" them? I made the mistake of choosing "repair" for fire spell given at beginning of game and it disappeared. Please help and thank you in advance for response to anyone who can help!

Hi Jamolisim, when following the Sorcery Intro Quest (purple book), you then read Altin's Letter (purple note) that gives you Three Books (one for each element). When choosing one or all of those books, they'll instruct you to craft and place a "Conjure" for that element. You place Harvested Essence (Boulders/Trees/Ore) in the Conjure and "cook" it... just like you would a Forge. This in turn let's you craft Spells and Resources of that element, which you'll see in the interface of the Conjure. Here's a very useful intro to the Spells by Sorcerer Altin (go figure!):  On a good side note, I'm currently writing an ocean of Journal Tips for the upcoming A18 Journal support to help explain features immediately in game. Additionally, the Intro and Quests are being simplified to explain further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamolisim Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Looking forward to A18! I have a question for mod launcher and Steam. 18.1 comes out on Monday and I am running 17.4 though Steam today. When 18.1 comes out and updates on Steam, what do I do in the mod launcher? Don't I have to point to the path where my 7D2D is and create a new version on a different path on my HD for the new game to run mods? I'm confused!

Â But doesn't it depend on what version I am running for my base game on Steam? For example, let's say I do not upgrade to 18.1 on Steam and stay at 17.4. I cannot go into the mod launcher and play 18.1 version, correct? I went to your discord but nobody is responding to me so sorry for clogging up this thread! I just need help...thnaks.
