Skills Guide (cont.)

Repair Item

Repair item is another useful group ability that will come in handy. Some monsters, such as oozes, can corrode your armor, and sprung traps often will break your armor and weapons. You'll thus need someone who can repair items to fix these broken things. Every item has a repair rating, and you need a higher skill level than that rating to repair the item. Simply right click on the item that is damaged, and if you can repair it, the item will be restored to normal. Knights and paladins can become grandmasters in repair, while clerics can become masters.

Normal level: Ability to repair items
Expert level: Double effect
Master level: Triple effect
Grandmaster level: 100 percent success
Where you learn it: Magic shops
Where you upgrade to expert level: Krewlen Residence, Harmondale; Gizmo's, Stone City (Barrow Downs)
Where you upgrade to master level: Moore Residence, Tatalia
Where you upgrade to grandmaster level: Gareth's Home, Erathia

Shield

The shield is an indispensable tool for protecting you character. Most weapons are wielded in one hand, so a shield is naturally used in the other hand to provide extra protection. Like other armor, the shield has a recovery penalty, although experts in shield eliminate it. Certain characters can wield weapons in two hands and should forego the shield in favor of a better attack. The knight and thief are two such characters. Both the knight and paladin can become grandmasters in shield.

Normal level: Skill added to armor class
Expert level: Recovery penalty eliminated
Master level: Skill added to armor class (effect doubled)
Grandmaster level: Protection as per shield spell (half damage from missile attacks)
Where you learn it: Armor shops
Where you upgrade to expert level: Wolverton Residence, Steadwick (Erathia)
Where you upgrade to master level: Isram's House, Tatalia
Where you upgrade to grandmaster level: Smithson Residence, Evenmorn Island
