We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Yeah, I've had troubles in those quests too. It seems that the NPC is supposed to run from the scene, but it's random and most of the time they just stay there and fight instead. When the NPC actually run away, the quests becomes a breeze.
I'm level 10 and just got a legendary item. Is it worth upgrading or should I just abandon it when I come across a rare or common that is significantly better?
Oh, right, they disappear from the merc screen after a while. I wish they would add a separate screen with a list of mercenaries you killed, together with their profiles. For someone like me, who never has a bounty and hardly ever fight mercenaries, they're still special kills (or recruits).
The one I was referring to was Dido the Marksman and she awarded Achilles's Bow, which had that engraving on it. I first encountered her in Phokis when I was still level 10 or so, while she was level 20 and walked around with a lion. After that I could see her travel around the map and I would sometimes bump into her during my travels. It's silly, but I was kind of a fan of her, haha. She was the badass hunter I also aspired to be at that point in the game.
I tried it and it does show. There's some examples too on gamefaqs. That's probably why a lot of reviewer are complaining about the grind, they're most likely playing on Easy
Abandon it. The better the quality of the item, the more it will cost to upgrade it. The drachmae aren't even the problem: it's the hides, ore and wood you need. I'm currently level 21 and if I want to upgrade my level 16 epic (purple) hood, I will need 130 ore and 265 hides, plus some obsidian glass and 2500 drachmae. Those resources are better spent on things like ship upgrades.
If the stats match with your build, then sure. You don't have to upgrade your gears every time you level up, just upgrade them every 3-4 levels.
I havent been able to find a good setting either. Its either too dark or too bright. Daytime during the rain looks especially garbage if youre doing the bright thing.
I really don't like the slowdown of your horse in towns. It would be one thing if it were just populated areas but it's even areas adjacent to towns and forts. I can ride up a straight, wide road, with nobody on it, but because it's within site of a fort, I have to do it at a canter.
Yeah, i'm at the point where I'm seriously considering if I should just give up and turn off HDR, lol. But when it looks good, like that opening 300 night battle properly adjusted, it looks really damn good; the darkness and illumination, the fire, the lightning flashing the screen.
You can't dismantle legendaries.
It's ok to use gear within two levels, up or down. But if you really liked that epic, go ahead. You can collect mats throughout the game.
"So misthios you need to meet my contact at the port with utmost secrecy, no one can know you were around here"
"'kay" and then I call an unicorn which leaves a sparkling trail
Why people hire my character again. Before the end of the day I will be doing a mission for their enemies anyway

Agree with this 100%. I'm at level 20 after completing five regions. I would say that im averaging a level every 2 hours or so which isn't bad at all considering that im mostly on foot and collecting all the collectables.
I have the brightness one tick above the minimum and then 1700/210 or something like that. Lowering the brightness is definitely a must, the rest just depends on yout tv.
So I was clearing out Daidalos Armory in Messara and I found
I'm assuming this is something for later, but I want to make sure I haven't messed up by picking it up before I was supposed to. Can someone tell me without spoiling anything?
a blue thing in a pillar but nothing showed up when in picked it up.

That I've seen so far:
- Item images now have an icon on them if they're engraved.
- Buying/Selling now completes faster at merchants.
- Storage chest added to ship.
- Orichalcum now properly appears in your alerts when you recieve some.
- Max number of arrows you can carry increases every 10 levels, capping out at 70 (35 for special arrows).
Yeah I think it was blown way out of proportion, I'm leveling up like crazy and it is a blast to do.
It's so you can go to Sparta and help the Athenians take over, unofficially ending the conflict.
The way XP is given out in this game is fucking odd. Ive killed single people on a contract and got 10k but if i clear out a leaders house, I get less than 4?
But yeah, will second that there is no way you will have a problem with leveling if you visit all the islands. Honestly, the side quests are way better than they have any right to be.
Also this has to be a contender for most badass cutscene all year.
This alone justifies playing as Alexios.

i'm feeling the problem i have with the last one... 20+hrs in, the game kinda showed its hand already.
Needs new enemy types?
I know the game has some mythical bosses, hope those aren't too late game like in origins.

Heh, those are all I've been hearing for the entire game. First thing I did after receiving the ship was getting the free female assassins crew from Ubisoft Club.
how do i make my crew all female?
for the Xenia quests.
do i really need to get 15k drachmae? how tf am i supposed to get all that?
Feel like legendary gear (not weapons) are severely underbudgeted. Even the set bonuses feel underwhelming on most of the pieces I've seen. Seems like an even level epic is much better with that 3rd modifier for min/maxing.
Not as cool as Alexios does. That said, I havent seen any of her scenes yet. Im just going off her performance as demios.
You'll get some new quests that open up on the island right after you admit to not having that much money.
You can also just do side quests outside of that to get enough.
You can get all female crew from the ubisoft club or from a quest later on the story.
15k is really easy to get from selling spare loot and raiding nation chests.
Thank you very much it's working. Still feels slow somehow :pThat's odd. When I get close to a new region and the points of interest start popping up, the game immediately makes the distinction between question marks and sync points. For example, this is what I see in regions I haven't actually explored yet, just sailed past:
There should be an "up" arrow next to the experience bar the menu screen. If you hover over the icon with the pointer it should tell you how big the boost is and how long the bonus lasts.
I have some problems with the game, but still enjoy it. The fighting system feels absolutely powerless. The presentation is totally cheap, imo, same goes for the writing. And even with a huge map, the world feels totally small, because every place of interessest is so close to the other.
World just feels not "authentic".
It is somehow still enjoyable.

XP, a couple of at-level items, another flavour of repeatable content.
Yea this game really has the best fight choreography out of any AC game. Super impressive.
Also, geez Era, this thread almost has as many pages as the Origins OT and it's only been a week.
I agree. It's kind of a bummer. I suppose on the one hand, the epic item has to roll affixes you WANT, which is random, whereas Legendaries are guaranteed their affixes, although those may or may not to your liking. Another aspect is that legendary affixes roll HIGHER, but it's only by a small margin. Ultimately, even with their set stats and higher value affixes, that missing affix still feels like a huge weakness to me.
We do have the benefit of a larger membership now. I'm pleased it seems to be doing so well. All the interest makes the thread more fun!
Concerning the Mykonos subplot with Kyra and the rebels,
was there a way to romance her and not have her man friend attack me at the end? I I was forced to kill him, then told her the truth at the party and she was pissed and wanted nothing else to do with me. Feelsbadman
I'm wondering if things would have changed if I just went to her and ignored him before heading to the party...

Yeah, I'm having way too much fun doing side quest stuff, forts, conquests & overlevelling. Really fun moments, too.
I have the option to go to Athens or explore a million islands. Should I go now or later? I'm mainly interested in cult members and tombs.
From what I can tell, there is no way to romance her and not have to kill the other guy. I lied and she believed me and was happy. Also I found if you kill the leader right away it kinda messes up the story.
i romanced kyra and He is alive and kicking in my playthrough, i had another quest with him, i asked to sleep with him and kyra as reward but he refused *sob*
Disagree on every single point, but to each their own.
At least you still enjoy it to some extent:)
