Ah sorry lost that message in the crowd!
Actually the scent of stars SHOULD increase by 10% each turn, I just checked the code. I need to test it again in the game though.
As for the other question in that post yes there are still many temporary placeholder for skills, I hope to get the final icons together with the missing tiles later this month

okay, then the description of the item seems to be incorrect as it announces a 5 % per turn increase (in 0.8.14, currently no access to the saves but I'm quite sure "yesterday me" quoted it correctly ^^)

Ah yes found it, was in the definition FILE! I was looking in the code and everything was right, but I forgot that for useable items we store the description of the skill/effect in the file itself

thanks

Yeah I didn't visit them

do they all sell the same items? If not, can I see them so I don't have to figure out which family to help to gain the most powa?

Gamesh: Scent of Stars, Increases target's magic and speed by 5% each turn for the next 10 turns. After that, values revert back to normal.
Kiduu: Manticore Poison, Throw it on the battlefield to poison all the enemies with the powerful Manticore Poison.
Lugal: Ironwall Oil, Increases target's defense and all elemental resistances by 50% for the rest of the battle.
Galanna: Clearmind Potion, Regenerates 20% of target's total SP each turn for the rest of the battle.
=> The 5 % of the scent are not correct (should be according to Jack 10 %), no idea about the rest
edited by Jack the bastard :lol: because the first item effects have changed :)

I've edited the post since first item effects were wrong. In practice 3 are buff/defensive item and the kiduu instead is a very powerful offensive item. They're expensive but when I tested they were all worth the money - if you need a quick way to win a boss battle

Reduces target's base statistics by 25% and inflicts 15 hp poison damage each turn. (extracted from the 0.8.13 build)

I'm thinking if to make it ineffective against Bosses though. Even if hopefully with the new AI bosses can heal/cure themselves of debuffs/poisons

make up your mind :P [personally I don't know if there's a "correct" solution: boss fights should be harder and finely balanced and special skills/items can break this, but the ex machina approach "half of the cool stuff is not working against bosses" is not well connected to in-game explanations]
