As long as you can take out the bandit groups that take Stokke Hills and the ones who show up with low control if you play 'A Dying World' these days you can train yourself up fast enough with combat, especially if you rely mostly on melee. The only top tier I go for sometimes is Ayden. A bounty a day and clearing the board of all but the toughest nuts and later two Arena combats a day is enough for me to make regular progress even starting with pathetic combat stats. Kate, Rebecca, even Bud or Ansel are good enough backup as long as I have Ayden. Nowadays being able to capture two melee gods as soon as you can take them ought to make starting with the bare minimum combat skills viable and inexpensive.Yeah that stamina would hurt bad initially, but 2 training sessions per day gets that up past the standard (and still painful) 40 in only 8 days. It's also only 100 influence so no bath house for awhile. Gotta treck all the way to Watery Eyes for massages. It would certainly take a lot longer to fix those stats.
Intelligence and Charm are the only stats there that aren't completely pathetic, but Deadly Strike is really the only significant trait I'd be missing. Wildborn would be nice but that's more of a bonus. Attractive, Teen Subduer, and Party Animal would all combine to make progress with the girls pretty easy even with crappy initial stats too.
Combat stats are so low that MC would be pretty useless there until you get the aim implant or do a LOT of training, but you could round up some stronger mercs and let them carry you through combat.
How would anyone know if you only split it with 4 others or if you sell it to endless number of people while laughing all the way to the bank?Would somebody be down to split the cost for Tier4?
Price per person: 5€
Start: Before the months ends
I've already got a group of people, which whom I'm splitting the cost since December, but sometimes members want to take a break, hence the reason for this second recruitment wave. We are looking for 2-3 new people, who are interested to remain subscribed. It's no problem if somebody wants to skip a month, but the plan is to keep the sub going for almost the full year. If you are interested, please send me a DM and I'll provide you more infos.
Lol, cynical minds think alike. Looks so shady to me.How would anyone know if you only split it with 4 others or if you sell it to endless number of people while laughing all the way to the bank?
Yes, you can use it to decrease defiance.Hey just checking in after a long time away: is the OTK spanking punishment implemented for public yet? Basically just waiting on that to dive back in.
Well you could actually run with no salaries at all for awhile now if you wanted. Go capture a few solo bandits by yourself and use them for damage sponges. Buy Rebecca first to help out if your combat stats are terrible. Use them to go capture Kate and then Truls. Then go pick up the ex arena champ across the ferry. Last up is Cassius but you'd probably need to gear up a bit for him. He's tough to capture. But once you do you now have 4 melee monsters with no salary.As long as you can take out the bandit groups that take Stokke Hills and the ones who show up with low control if you play 'A Dying World' these days you can train yourself up fast enough with combat, especially if you rely mostly on melee.

I obviously can't give a guarantee for that, just my promise. Theres also a DC, so everyone can see each other. I ofc could make multiple ones, but that would be quite the hassle wouldn't it? It's also quite the task to manage 5 people already (the base price is 29,16€ btw, because of tax), I really couldn't be bothered doing this for some coffee change to be honest, excluding the fact that this would be immensely immoralHow would anyone know if you only split it with 4 others or if you sell it to endless number of people while laughing all the way to the bank?
I've not save-scummed my mercs, I just take what I get. I don't really save-scum the girls much either, though I do try to ensure I don't get duplicates. Usually that's by selling the less impressive one, but sometimes I savescum them. I often do try to get the 'right' Rebecca or Lovisa, one that matches or builds upon the ones I've gotten in the past.Well you could actually run with no salaries at all for awhile now if you wanted.

Truls and Cassius can use a greatsword right from the get go. The ex arena champ is either already there or might require a little strength and melee training first. Kate has almost enough melee but probably requires a bunch of strength training. So those 2 probably get katanas initially. All 4 of them are guaranteed brawler. 3 of them are also guaranteed warrior and you can train that up on Kate too. All 4 of them can have malevolent but that requires luck or save scumming.
So now you've got the damage output of a top tier squad with no salaries. Could really put a dent in that early game money situation that way. You could still pick up as many other slaves as you want to do whatever jobs you might have and run with zero salaries for an extended period of time.
I usually pick Ayden up right away as well though. He just makes the early game SO much smoother.
The other problem with running with a slave only early game is that some of the mercs can randomly get some traits that you will probably not get unless you save scum them. If you don't do that the very first time you encounter them you can't do it ever. So no workaholic techie Ayden, no workaholic nympho Enya, no workaholic Felix, no scavenger Bud, etc. I suppose you might be able to save scum the perks on them and then dismiss them to pick up again later. I think they all go back to whatever their designated hangout spot is to be hireable later but I haven't tried that.
In Ayden's case you could still guarantee his perks later but only if you never enter the bath house until you're ready to do it, which would be a shame for a low stamina build. You could get Bud later as well if you never enter the weapon shop but that means you can't use guns at all until you unlock Crystal Hills so you can buy ammo there. There are some others that can get nice perks that you could get later if you just avoid the area they're in til later like Doyle, Space Marine, Loren, Armand, etc. Felix and Enya are the main mercs you wouldn't be able to do anything about. You're going to have to go through Kasey park and Crystal Hills relatively early.
Yeah I never bother to save scum traits on randoms. I used to save scum workaholic on the unique slave girls but now that you can add random males to your house I find that I don't need to do that anymore. I capture so many slaves that some of them are guaranteed to randomly have workaholic. So I save those for eventually workshop labor. Don't care if they're girls or not. I can grind out workaholic on my uniques eventually if I want to but between the mercs who are guaranteed to have it and whatever randoms I find with it I can get 10 workaholics without needing to save scum.I've not save-scummed my mercs, I just take what I get.

Hrm, looking at this last RftA run I can see the advantages to save-scumming the mercs for traits. I wondered why my Ayden in that game doesn't qualify to be a top Quartermaster, he doesn't have Techie like I remember him getting most of the time.
So Leia Winton?I want to reset the mission The Prowler in the Depths 2. What should I do?
It is this, no?Any of you guys know the command to get the black scorpion to respawn? I tried the $raien1 thing but couldn't get it to work. cheers
Wait, why? Can you not assign them as Janitors? If they have 60+ discipline, I think they can gain Workaholic as Janitors, 16.67% chance according to the wiki. Wiki does not list that they need positive happiness and affection so I think it is not needed. What I do is I remove them from followers before midnight calculations roll around, on the paranoid chance that keeping them as followers when midnight hits means they are not treated as janitors.Workaholic is trainable but not on mercs.
Oh janitors can become workaholics now? Nice. It used to only be maids. In that case Bud is the only merc I'll feel compelled to save scum since Scavenger is not trainable as far as I know.Wait, why?

what does not going to the bathhouse/gun store have to do with ayden? is it some hidden quest? I know there is the option when you first meet him to say something like "big fan" I guess which may make him like you more?In Ayden's case you could still guarantee his perks later but only if you never enter the bath house until you're ready to do it, which would be a shame for a low stamina build.

Was talking about locking in their traits which are determined the first time you enter the same area they're in, whether you talk to them or not. So if you walk into the bathhouse, Ayden's traits are set even if you ignore him. But now that I know you can train up workaholic by setting people as janitors I'm not really concerned with any of the mercs except Bud. Bud can get scavenger but it's not guaranteed. So I won't step into the weapon shop until I'm ready to hire him and guarantee that he has the scavenger trait. Techie is nice to have but it's not really needed. You can duplicate the effect by just training science skill on someone. It's just nice not to have to.what does not going to the bathhouse/gun store have to do with ayden? is it some hidden quest?

If Bud don´t get scavenger, it´s quite useless, yes.Oh janitors can become workaholics now? Nice. It used to only be maids. In that case Bud is the only merc I'll feel compelled to save scum since Scavenger is not trainable as far as I know.
