Their seat is the castle Runestone, located on the coast of the narrow sea north of Gulltown. House Royce of Runestone is an old and powerful noble house of the Vale, sworn to House Arryn. High King of the Vale, the Fingers and the Mountains of the Moon (formerly) (Bronze pelleté, an orle of ancient runes sable) Reflecting damage based on your armor damage is great, + Life when revealing tiles, + Mana when getting a kill and + hit rate are some of my favorite modifiers.Black iron studs on a bronze field, bordered with runes Keep some high-armor equipment around to change into right before entering a new floor and then change into gear with effects that you like afterwards. The fact that your weapon is Intelligence based makes it a ranged weapon so you won't have to worry when encountering ranged enemies. If I find some nice gear I may end up throwing a point into Dexterity or Strength if it's required, but I usually try to get those points through events.Ī high damage staff (11 or 14) with Chain attack couple with God of Evils self-healing makes staying topped off much easier. I wield a 2H staff and increase his Stamina to 5 early, then dump the rest into his Intelligence. My preferred set up is Merlyn and the God of Evil. My strategy for Chaos is the same that I mentioned for some various Runeword acheivements.
