I've got about 75 credits left to spend in lessons. How should I spend them? Thanks!

Probably more in Influence and Dramatics if you plan to influence most of the time, Environment if you want to get around the area pretty easy and... that's about it.

Most of my influencing comes from empowering. Is there a better skill then Sycophant for that?

Dramatics and influencing at higher levels strengthen your abilities I believe.

Get more low magic so you can get Autumn, which boosts your XP gain for an hour.

As I told you before, don't get more Influence, you have enough. The last two skills won't help you at all.

I'd say save the lessons for later, when you find something you want to learn, like if you decide you like Aethercraft.

But if you really want to learn something, 67 lessons of Discernment will get you Magiclist, which is like potionlist for enchantments.

Another 117 lessons of Environment gets you flyers and windtalk (and closer to Tumble).

311 lessons of Lowmagic gets you that experience boost, but that's a LOT of lessons just for that in my eyes.

If you want to try your hand at picking up straight women or not so straight guys, you can get genderbend for 190 lessons of Dramatics.


I don't know what else to say, really. Umm... artifacts are good too?

lend me! i need to trans stag.

Shorlen!

Where have you been? I've got Genderbending already, and I might try it out if I find a female Loboshi (why aren't there any males? Or Loboshi in general for that matter?)

I'll do the Discernment and Environment, but that'll still leave me with 70 credits. What artifacts would be that cheap? Not much interested in Autumn, since it costs power and I live off dross >.>
