Missed your reply to Val ...


But personally, I would say Dex, for now at least. Get it up so you can use Jackle's crossbow.

Then go mana, and try to get it up to 60 or so. Then put a little more in strength, then max your mana. That should use up most of your skill points by the end of the game, including magic of the 5th and 6th circle.

Just a little advice.. never attack the orcs before you are level 15 with a mage(with a minimum of 50 in mana).

A Guard/mercenary/templar can kick ass as a level 10 fighter, but mages need a lot of mana and the Storm of Fire spell. USE THAT SPELL!

It does a total damage of 500(maximum) which is the highest damage in the game.

Edit: No your right just checked thats Fire Ball that I was thinking of.

No, if you read "50" on a rune, that means either the damage, or maximum casting cost.

The maximum mana is 100 by learning from others, but after that you can get potions, and magical trinkets giving you between 150-200 mana, and trust me, you WILL need it in the end of the game as a mage!

I don't need a Heavy Crossbow, I already have Scar's crossbow. The very best of the game!

You can easily complete the Orc cemetary without ever touching a sword or bow.

You will need higher mana, though. You can change out your rings to increase your mana.

Storm of Fire is the only thing I used in the Orc cemetary, and since I see it in your list, It should work for you two. It only takes 1 fully charged SoF plus 2 puffs to kill an Orc warrior. The spell has great range, so it can identify targets for you before you see them and it's more accurate than your bow or crossbow. Don't worry about losing the dex for the bow by switching to mana upgrades, once you have Fireball and SoF you don't need the bow anymore. I didn't even have one in my inventory after getting the more serious combat spells.

Spoiler








You get far more mana restoration potions from the Orc mummies than you need for this part of the game. Raid the burial chambers before you continue the quest and you will have plenty of them to finish it.

Thanks everyone for your help I'm trying to increase my lvl to get some Skill Points and gain HP to increase my odds against the orcs. If I need any more help I know where to go.
