Hi all, Sounds like you are doing great. Did you know that you can also use the letter O to get your hireling's inventory? You can. I give them armor and helms that are hand-me-downs or one I find that I can't use but tried to give them weapons and they say that they can't use them. Hmmm. I just wondered why it is that you find these huge charms that take up half of your Inventory?? Wish they were smaller. Well still in Chapter II with all my people and heading to the Dry Hills now with all of them. Got a long way to go before I am where you guys are. I probably should just play one or two but its hard to chose since I like the different skills they have so will have to continue the way I am for now. Not being able to save more often so you don

I just cleared out Lower Kurash. Hmm, the monsters weren't too bad and there was some nice stuff. You have to enter every building in the ruin to get it all, but that was worth a lot of gold. I was teleporting every few minutes, but my stash is bulging now! VHLMagic, the hireling from Act 1 can only use bows. The hirelings from act 2 use spears and javelins. The hirelings from act 3 also have specific weapons. And yeah, it will take a very long time to complete 4 games vs players who only do one at a time. ![smile smile](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/smile.gif)

Originally posted by Pokey: I'll be heading to Kurash today. Nice to hear it has some good stuff. I haven't picked up anything in quite a while. I could sure use some gems. Of course your game probably has diffferent stuff. I regretted getting that free hireling. Shouldn't have talked to her. I lost my great cold one and got a poorer one using fire. I finally went back and hired a cold one, but not as great as the first. If I keep hiring, will the list run out--no more available? Can't help with the hirelings, in the expansion you can give them healing potions and you can pay to resurrect them. So I have the same one I started with she's leveled with me through the game. As for the stuff I picked up in lower Kurash, there were lots of potions (horadic cube recipe; three healing potions - three mana potions = one restore potion), a large charm, chipped skull, lots of fairly valuble weapons and armor. Maps are random, but I'll bet you'll get plenty to sell and stuff your stash with cash.

Hi all,
In my Sorceress game I kept loosing so many hirelings that it was down to about 4 left. Don't know if the list starts over with new people or you just don't have any more to hire.
I will have to see what happens when I play with her again.
I finally got it that they need the same type of weapons so my hireling from the second area has a better spear now and looking for higher damage ones as we go along.
I tried to give them healing potions and they said that they can't use that. I will try again but usually just wait it out once we clear out an area for them to heal before we go on.
The archers in the first area just healed themselves. Wonder why we don't get healing spells and have to keep using potions.
Did you know that if you keep clicking on gamble that you get to see different items evey time you click??? You do and I have gotten a lot of rare items by doing that. Its rare if it is in yellow letters.

Its rare if it is in yellow letters. If you have the expansion, drop a healing potion on their portrait, not in their inventory! My archer does heal herself, but sometimes she needs a bit extra. I drop a potion on her portrait and she says "thank you" You can tell if a gambled item is going to be gold? Thanks, that is a very very useful tip.

That's a very tough area, Pokey, there are about 3 named enemies there, try pulling one away from the others, and fire resistance is helpful, as I'm sure you've seen.

Hi all, Oh Thanks Pib and I will try the healing potion on the portrait thing if needed. No you don't get to see what kind of item you gamble on until you pay for it first. Its a chance you have to be willing to take and I have gotten a few rare items by taking that chance. Boy I am running out of room in my inventory in one of my games because of all the charms that I found. I cannot carry much stuff found to sell so have to use Town Portal a lot. I was playing my Necromancer yesterday and so far I think I like the Druid and his skills the best. His Firestorm spell really does a lot of damage. Oh and I am playing the expansion Pib. ![smile smile](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/smile.gif)

VHLMagic, Now let's see, you can do things with your hireling and play a Druid...somehow I knew you had an expansion game going! I hear you about the inventory thing. Only about 1/3 my inventory is available so I use portals a lot. Most of the used space is charms and the Horadic cube (which is also stuffed to the brim). I love watching the Assassin use Dragon Claw. She is fast and deadly with two claw class weapons. Both of her weapons were lucky gambles! They aren't worth that much gold but they have gold names and have a lot of good magic. Now that I have as much gold in the stash as it will hold, I gamble away my extra on a regular basis.
