If Xaa created much richer crafting mod for MW then it should be easy to tranfer the mod for LOH and LOH crafting system will also be rich.I know this will not be happen. No, I'm afraid not. The crafting system in Mageworld is integral to the entire system. I can't just plug it into LoH, none of the objects it makes exist in LoH. And those objects can't be plugged in without plugging in the template tree for Mageworld, which breaks LoH in several hundred different ways. I didn't intend for Mageworld to be moddable, nor did I intend for LoH to be moddable, so I didn't make them modular in nature - you can't use one with the other. And, even trying will ruin Mageworld characters you play outside of Mageworld.

Yeah,I know it.Several months passed for an event in my club.Few people here placed the Hyperborea mod in resourse folder and created a char in Hyperborea map.Once they are able to get the proper gears for them they moved the characters from Hyperborea to UP map in hard mode(I don't know what exactly they did).They reported me success in playing Hyperborea chars in UP map and getting fun.In other words people finds Hyperborea mod much better than map ,since the map ends but mods wont.If they will get another map with same mod they like it same as Hyperborea map.
Also yesterday I was started a new char in Hyperborea map in hard mode and killed assasin 45-46 times but he is not dropping gold.Is the probablity of getting gold from him is very very low.

He will, on VERY rare occasions, drop something. However, since he wasn't really intended to be killed in the first place (you were supposed to sneak past him), he doesn't have much to drop.

I must have been lucky... I tried starting MP with a Valkyrie on Easy. First run though the area, I killed him. He also dropped gold.

He's Easier on Easy. Possible but difficult on Normal. Very hard on Hard. The plot is that you use your new cloak of shadows skill to bypass those obstacles, but, as I keep saying, what I LOVE about LOH is you can always do things the hard way if you want a challenge.

Yeah, I learned THAT the hard way. I tried going to Tir'Asleen without looking at a map or having any hints, and ran into some Giants. Guess what happened to my rinky-dink level 15 Valk.

No he is not that much hard at least for T'Vril.I have taken him into the forest and then I found at any typical corner of forest his darts are unable to reach T'Vril but T'Vril can easily fire acid gas on him.I have purchased acid gas from ancient dwarf and killed the assassin for about more than 50 times in hard mode but my bad luck that he was never dropped gold in hard mode.

ha! Not hard for YOU perhaps. *I* have to struggle with that battle. One mistake and you are DEAD. Which is kinda what I like about it.

If there is no struggle then why we will play this game.If there will be veteran and elite then I will sure try that.I found the one of the most deadly defense is pause button in DS.That button can take out players from very dangerous positions to normal.Most of players used it and then drink health potions,so that enemies don't have any chance to kill.

Remember how I said I was trying to AVOID rapid leveling in my Hard mode LOH game? Oops. It's not as easy to avoid as I thought it would be. I was on my way to the Valley of the Four Winds and I thought, I'll just slip over to the swamp and gather a few clubs so I'll have plenty of cash to buy spells with. Well, the trolls on that side come in bunches. And by the time you get over to the entrance of the Fury Cave, they come in BIG bunches. I had to throw pillar of fire, and then both cyclone and tornado of fire just to survive. And, of course, by the time the mess of trolls were all dead, I had gone up quite a few levels. Which SOUNDS like a good thing, and true, I'm enjoying having more spells I can cast, BUT, as a downside, the valley of the four winds was a cake walk. With two lightning bolts, I could kill most of the witches before they even got a chance to attack. And those that DID get to attack fell so quickly that the didn't do much damage. Well, I'm not going to back up and undo it, but I'm thinking that from a story perspective, I should have stayed out of the swamp.

Have you moved swamps from Incablo forest as there is a roadblock in the way from stonegate.
You can think about lightning bolts as your both chars are mage.What can be done if you follow readme.You will need to wake the witches by arrows from long and let the T'Vril to get them.Witches tries to kill the one who striked by arrows and so win.
You can see lots of strange things in hard mode.Throwing knife ,throwing axe etc becomes costly even they are having same status in easy.The enemies who drops cutter in the begining will drop gladius later on.You should aware that cutter have sale price around 2800 and gladius is 1200.

Heh, yeah, but there is a way to get past that roadblock if you really want to. Which is one reason Xaa is very FRUSTRATED with roadblocks in DS. The engine seems to have problems with them.

I think I have already watched this kind of problem lots of time.When playing LOH for the 1st time.I was locked in the locked room in Stonegate containing farming products. ;D
Why frustration ? I think there can be lots of solutions to remove roadblocks.Like make a locked gate there and give the key to some serious monster.Xaa can also put some water walking which needs sailing spell.

Well, I finally did it. Killed Lactri on hard mode. What a blast! This is my THIRD time through LOH, and so I'd just like to say one more time, Thanks Xaa, what a ride! And the good news is, I've still got quite a bit of adventure to go!

Killing Lactri is not the hard job ,If you able to get there ,you are able to kill her also.If you are playing 1st time and in hard mode that will be great but we know it is not.
Also as far as I know,you knows almost everything in LOH and that makes less fun.I wish that my mind will remove the sense of LOH and then I will play from scratch.This map is so nice that I want to play it again and again.
