OK, seeing we got plenty of questions by people new to the mod at the other forum, I'm going to let us all dynamically write our own FAQ as questions come up.
So, I've stickied this topic and left it up to you. Here's a few to get you started.
Q: My item requires level 105 to use! Isn't it impossable to get that high?
A: New Dawn characters have a maximum level of 250.
Q: The mod crashes my game.
A: If you want any help with errors like this, please post the exact message you get. Sometimes this gives me enough of a clue to know how to fix the bug- otherwise it usually gives me enough of a clue to know what I did wrong.
Q: What're crafter items?
A: These items have purple text, and their only purpose is for use in cube recipies.
Q: Does anyone have a list of all of the cube recipies/runewords?
A: No. At least I hope not. I deliberately gave everyone SOME, so that they got a few they could use already, and then left you to find the rest out on your own.
Q: What are/how do I make Elite Gems?
A: They're a sixth level of gems that are specific to each class. Here are which gems go with which class:
* Amethyst - Assassin (Shadowspike)
* Diamond - Crusader (Horns of Valor)
* Emerald - Ranger (Earthtail Stone)
* Ruby - Beserker (Heartstone)
* Sapphire - Sorceress (Ocean Tear)
* Skull - Theurgist (Elite Skull)
* Topaz - Shaman (Thunderstone
Elite gems are made by combining four perfect gems and a specific crafter item- (it's different for class, but a few of the names provide hints) or two perfect gems and a Stone of Jordan rune. There is also an item, that when cubed with a gem will upgrade it one level. This will upgrade perfect gems to elite gems on it's own.
Q: How are runes different in New Dawn?
A: There are a lot more, and a lot more runewords to go along with them. Over a hundred in all. You can also upgrade ANY rune to the next level in New Dawn. There are two ways. You can either cube any two runes together, or cube a rune and a blank rune. You can also find chipped runes, two of which will make a blank rune.
You may also DOWNGRADE runes using chipped runes, if you need to use a low-level rune for a runeword. Stone of Jordan runes are quite rare, but they upgrade items dramatically when they're added into certain cube recipies.
Q: What are these funny scrolls I keep finding?
A: If you cube them with a crafter item, they will reveal a runeword. There are five base types, each with a different name. Cubing them with different crafter items reveals different runewords. Fifty recipies can be revealed or partially revealed this way.
Q: Do emblems, gemstones, silver bars, or gold bars have ANY point?
A: With two exceptions, they are simply there for you to sell. The HORADRIC EMBLEM is a quest item. Gemstones are used in a recipie to craft a rare jewel.
Q: Why aren't there perfect gems of your other seven new types of gems?
A: Because they're basically a level above normal gems anyway. They each have three properties- most normal gems have only two. They also have higher level requirements.
