General Advice
- Right Click on a character's action button and select 'Assay' to see the stats of an item. If the item needs to be identified first, select a character with a high Assaying skill to identify it. You can also cast the Identify spell first if your skill is not high enough.
- By selecting 'Look' instead of 'Assay' you will see a description of the item. Sometimes the descriptions of important items contain hints to their use.
- When you assay a weapon and it says *Lethal* in the stats, it means that this weapon can trigger a Lethal Blow, even if that character has no Lethal Blow skill. Usually, a high Lethal Blow skill triggers that ability much more often than a weapon.
- If an item looks scary or evil, it is probably cursed. You can use silver spoons or Remove Curse potions/spells to remove the item if you equipped it.
- Many chests have randomized items, so if you save and load again before opening it, you will get different items.

How to get to Ancients Level IV where many of the best weapons are:
You need to gain access to the Imperial Palace Treasure Room first (either steal key from Khan Raji or finish Skulheim, so he gives it to you). Then you need the Key of the Ancients (one of the five starting areas gives it to you or finish Skulheim and get it there in the cell of the princess).
