Prevent NPC hireling looting
Instead of clicking on the bodies, leave them where they fall. When you get a
chance or have cleared the map, exit the map and re-enter. The bodies will be
gone, but there will be piles of loot where they fell. The NPC will not loot the
pile. Walk over and pick everything up. Also, if your hireling has picked up
something he/she cannot identify, when you are bartering select the NPC and drag
the item to a different character's inventory. Normally when you try this, the
NPC refuses to drop the item, but it works with unidentified items while in the
barter menu.
Easy experience
Hire an NPC and simply kill him or her. This works well if you hire Otis, Elmo,
Lareth, or any high level character.
Once you have earned an Elemental Gem (easiest with Earth, Air, and Water), use
it to summon a demon. Use a Rogue or Fighter to melee the demon with full
attacks and kill it before the duration expires. When it dies, loot it to
retrieve a free Elemental Gem for another character, at no risk, plus gain the
experience for killing the creature.
When you first start the game, create your primary character and two or three
others that you will import later. Start the game using only your primary
character. Walk around Hommlet and talk to everyone so that you initiate as many
of the side quests as possible. You will be able to finish some of them very
quickly. Complete as many of the non-combat quests as you can, and since you
only are using one created character, you will level him/her up several levels
quickly. If you want to complete the three romance quests, you will need two
male characters and one female character. Note: The two romances with the female
NPCs may not activate if you are using evil characters. Go to the inn and import
two characters of your choice. Make sure one is some type of offensive mage. The
other can be whatever class desired, but if you choose another spell-caster make
sure you hire Elmo, as he is a good high level fighter. Go out and complete the
combat quests, but make sure you protect your new characters. Elmo can take care
of himself. In Emrity Meadows, avoid the Bear and Giant. They are high level and
the Giant can kill your party members with one blow from his club. Return there
later after you are at higher levels to kill them. After you have leveled up to
about level 5 or 6, go to the Hommlet Trading Post and kill Gregmag and Rannos.
They give you a large amount of experience points, and since they are evil, you
will not receive a reputation penalty. With your primary character now at a high
level and Elmo along, you can easily defeat most enemies while you protect and
level up your spell-casters. Also, in Nulb you can kill Otis for some good
experience points and equipment. Otis is Elmo's brother, and if you choose to
fight Otis, Elmo will side with his brother. This is a tough fight at lower
levels, and Elmo is more valuable as your ally if you are only using three or
four of your created characters. If you want to defeat Otis, turn Elmo loose
first. After you kill Otis, you can return to Hommlet and Elmo will rejoin your
party.
Get all 18s in stats
Go to the point buy screen. Set the first stat to 18, then click and drag it to
the right of the up and down arrows and release it. It should disappear if done
correctly. Go back to the roll your stats screen and the top box should have an
18 in it. Repeat this for each box.
