Neither can use the two best ranged weapons (Magic Bow/Wand), so they're most effective beside the avatar (or as avatar). Geoffrey can use a plain bow and Katrina can use a sling, but the Mystic swords cause brutal damage by comparison, and they're quite useful in their hands.<BR/><BR/>The rest should have Magic Bows or Wands. Iolo, Mariah and Jaana can use the wands (which are arguably better than the Mystic Swords because they are close in damage and are ranged), and Shamino, Dupre and Julia can use the Magic Bows (less power than Wands, but the range is extremely useful nonetheless). Obviously, everyone should be using the Mystic Robes.<BR/><BR/>Note that you can easily get gold once you can get the Mystic stuff, because you can sell it, and as long as you have 0 in inventory (not counting equipped), you can find the Mystic stuff AGAIN. And they sell for a boatload, making it easy to afford weapons and reagents. I usually make it a priority to get maxed virtues in a speedrun, since getting access to the Mystics makes acquiring gold oh-so-easy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541174503724500787.post-6062398561015168442008-06-13T02:03:00.000-07:002008-06-13T02:03:00.000-07:00Actually the game is less boring in the end, if yo...Actually the game is less boring in the end, if you start with a level-3-character (paladin for example) and get party members as soon as possible. You collect xp all the time and need not just do xp collecting in the end. You easily get your characters up to 6th level then. Even Katrina.<BR/>Go often to Hythloth and raise the stats of all your characters. If you have Katrina with dex and str 50, she's no longer weak, sling or no sling.<BR/><BR/>Ans yes, the magic axes are Ultima V, although there are magic axes in u4, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541174503724500787.post-17601005910142122382008-02-12T01:23:00.000-08:002008-02-12T01:23:00.000-08:00The thing about Katrina is she's actually incredib...The thing about Katrina is she's actually incredibly badass if you get her to L8. Usually didn't bother.<BR/><BR/>Katrina can't use any magical ranged weapons- she and I believe Geoffrey? needed to use Mystic Swords in the Abyss. I think Paladins can't go above Magic Axes, and everyone else can use Wands (which are the best) or Bows (which are second best).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541174503724500787.post-2644118925614621162008-01-24T14:00:00.000-08:002008-01-24T14:00:00.000-08:00Magic axes?

If I'm grinding a few levels and won't get anything out of it (like new spells or particularly awesome stats) for a while, I can go on for quite some time while barely paying attention.Ultimate Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06031068165771230978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541174503724500787.post-57832409850523081052007-07-26T15:26:00.000-07:002007-07-26T15:26:00.000-07:00I seem to remember every one using magic axesI seem to remember every one using magic axesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541174503724500787.post-34444018919010249212007-07-11T12:33:00.000-07:002007-07-11T12:33:00.000-07:00I seem to remember Katrina being able to use a Mag...I seem to remember Katrina being able to use a Magic Axe. If you have enough gold, buy one of those, and a wand too (Buc's Den) - they're killer.<BR/><BR/>-Corbomite DragonPaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16498146045446691294noreply@blogger.com
