      I never played it before the UI change, however I see a lot of comments saying that it was one of the best updates to have been released. I looked at some photos of the old UI and... damn, did it need the refreshment!

    One thing i'll add about cursed items is that cursed combat magic staves (ice, fire, lightning, bloodletting and magic missle) are pretty safe to equip because staves dont have a lot of durability and fire fast so they break really easily and they don't have any negative stats associated with them so you can go ham with those staves. I find this pretty useful in gnomish mines since you'll get a lot of staves there so you can use the cursed ones for that floor and save any blessed staves for later

    • @roogeydoogz
      @roogeydoogz  10 месяцев назад +7

      You're completely right, cursed staves are incredibly valuable for leveling up magic/casting levels most certainly because they're so easy to remove once they're equipped. I can't say the same for melee weapons and armor pieces-- although it IS possible to break them, I find the extremely tedious to do so.

    Perception is my favorite stat. It feels like you can see through darkness better if you have high perception and appraise things more easily.

    • @roogeydoogz
      @roogeydoogz  Год назад +1

      I completely agree! Sometimes carrying a torch isn't a great idea with how enemies are able to see you within light, so a high perception stat is great in those moments alone!

    • @zaneplayx3176
      @zaneplayx3176 Год назад +2

      That's because you can! If you hover over perception after you press tab, it'll tell you how many extra tiles you can see through darkness, and perception is the stat attributed with appraisal, so the better your perception, the easier it is to appraise stuff.

    • @danielrusso4468
      @danielrusso4468 Год назад +1

      Perception is THE stat that appraisal uses! With a negative perception, you're unable to appraise anything. With 0 PER, you can just barely appraise a few things. Anything above that and you're good to go!

    I was playing Barony with my boyfriend and he was dying quite a bit to boulders hitting him, of course I sassed him for running around too quickly. Later on, I picked up a ring with a random teleport effect, I knew it was a terrible idea but I put it on anyway for a laugh...

  • @Matthias_Prudholm
    @Matthias_Prudholm Год назад +3

    Good video but ima have to knock down a few score points for the informational side of things… during your section on appraisal/identifying items you forgot to mention how perception can affect any attempt to get it going properly with some classes starting on negative Perception due to how that stay in particular effects your appraisal skill. With some classes with negative perception that are good for early game due to their general strengths and early game dmg being Monk, Warrior, and Barbarian which are simple due to not needing to learn spells and synergy and mana management as hard if new for Arcanist or Wizard. To offset the negative perception, it comes down to 3 methods. 1. Find glasses if you can (+1 Per Guaranteed UNLESS cursed, Succubus/incubus hates blessed tho), 2. Get lucky with lv2 or lv3 stat ups giving you a point in Per to start the appraisal train, 3. This takes a friend or if you want a controller to dummy in a mechanistic to make glasses for you or for the other player to be a class with at least 0 per and having found moldy cheese early. Other then that the rest of the information was spot on.

    • @roogeydoogz
      @roogeydoogz  Год назад +1

      You're absolutely right, there are definitely a few hiccups here and there. It's my first few Barony videos so mistakes are bound to happen!
      But yes you're right. In my opinion the best strategies for increasing perception in the early game, although kinda dependent on luck, is finding those glasses or hitting that lucky stat increase from leveling up. That's something I neglected to add but I greatly appreciate the insight!!

    • @roogeydoogz
      @roogeydoogz  6 месяцев назад

      Very sorry for the late response, but if you're trying to "min/max" your playthrough, it's almost always best to use one particular weapon, usually the one your class has the highest skill level with (i.e: Ninja & swords, Knight & polearms, Barbarian & Axes, etc)
      However, if you find yourself in a pinch and face an enemy with a particularly high resistance to that weapon, it's a fantastic idea to swap to one they're weak to in order to quickly take them out. Typically I recommend to swap around your weapons as you play, because quite honestly the level 100 mastery in most weapon skills ARE very strong, but it often takes a VERY long time to get them to 100. Again, it's strictly my recommendation, but I would suggest swapping them around as needed. Unless you're dead set on perfecting every aspect of your run, just swap 'em around lol!
