hey, u have much to discover. Ur libido can be raised by an item as far as i know and also by a healthy lifestyle. bathing and cooking raises ur mood which has substantial effect on ur allure on your standards on your strength, hygiene has effect on your strength. If u move u should be able to get izzy as assistant and u get access to dungeon, torture devices, alchemy lab, fiend stable, farm. Its worth to get out of the slums by alot!My libido is at F- and I want to raise it, but is it possible to do it without having sex? Also how important is it to move out of the slums? The only thing that I noticed is that I can't bathe and cook while in the slums but it doesn't seem to impact much. Another thing that I noticed is that the wedding dress seems to boost devotion growth by quite a bit, is that actually the case or is it not worth it at all? This is my first run so any help and tips is much appreciate it.
wedding dress is mostly for slaves who u want to sell at guild auctions at the time of the sale. Buy light sundress and soft slippers ... this will increase the mood of the slave substantially and this will make training much easier and save time, avoid despair and the need to punish the slave, makes her more pliable.
Avoid arrogant slaves (high pride) at the start, cuz its very hard to lower pride. Avoid fat slaves (except for meat) cuz it takes much time to slim them down. Avoid low health or stupid slaves cuz it will take much time to train them. The more experience u have (and the better ur slaver is) the more difficult slaves u can take on.
Dont rape them (or forced sex like in "public use" punishment before she agreed to sex or sexual training on her own), cuz this will let despair explode, which takes much time to lower and could drive her into suicide or escape and limits mood and maybe some aura stats. Reward and punish at the level of guilt and merit... this will give proper reward.
Train ur slaver by training the slaves.. for example u can train whip by pony training. Train ur assistant cuz it trains ur slaver, and it will enable u to train the slave with the assistant.
For example if u train her petting skill, she can give u skilled massages which transfers one energy from her to u.
Whenever u get some amount of money so that u have a bit breathing space u should go for the artifact slaver items from the special missions on the forum. Careful: u wont get reimbursed with sparks doing those! U need to calculate to fully train a slave without pay! But those items help ALOT!
Theres so much more i can tell u about the game... just ask questions. Especially the start is hard. I suggest going for a fiend as soon as possible. Be warned that ur assistant needs training in milking them, but they can feed ur slaves and u can turn in a leviathan at the forum (i think for the crown? which is an awesome item)
small fog fiend and gang of beggars are the only encounter u can beat early on in the fog. All enemies with just 1 hp u will miss with all attacks if u dont have at least double damage (for example with buffs or by choosing the approriate attack to their defense). Go learn battle cry, dashing blow and roundhouse kick... they can win u fights (first 2 will multiply red attacks and roundhouse kick is red attack with high damage based on ur weapon)
learn what all aura stats are doing, how they can be increased and decreased. avoid despair and spoiling at (almost) all cost. increase obedience and devotion. Taming, awareness and habit are raising on its own mostly, if u dont do much wrong.
Fear can be very helpful to raise obedience.
Never forget to brand ur slave! This is a very important step, for obedience, escape prevention and also as a (one-time-use) punishment.
