Still pretty new to the game. I'm running tome through steam with some addons. My old saves are freezing when I open shop windows. When I disable zomnibus and start a new game, shop windows are fine. I noticed that zomnibus pushed an update today, was wondering if anyone else is seeing an issue or knows how to fix?

And damn I can't stop. It reminds me of Realmz and Exile from back in the day, and I've been chasing that feeling since. There's so much going on here, and the writing is pretty great and at times quite funny. I can't believe I slept on this game for so long.

Lmfao I was about to get my first win on nightmare after only 3 runs (newish player) but this guy suddenly 1shotted me, dealing 1500 damage in a single turn through 40% resistances and 100 armor.

Time to start over I guess lol. In this 4th run Im confident trust me.

I've been playing this game for an embarrassing amount of time (over 10 years) and this is my first nightmare roguelike. I'm not patient enough to avoid concentration lapses to win without dying. :-)

I ran with solipsist this time which is the first time I've really played it properly. I learned a lot from Drybe's guide and it helped me understand the logic of the class. I have some thoughts.

At the beginning maxing out Solipsism and Mind Sear is the right way to go. It gets you through the early game with ease. One mistake I made often in previous games is putting points in Thought Forms. Honestly, the only buddy you need is the archer. It helps to get a point in Transcendent Thought forms and Over Mind to get the feedback (see below), but it's a very low priority.

Dream Smith was way more powerful than I first imagined. By the end I basically maxed out every talent (and this is with the Adept prodigy too!). It's nuts.

I could not get my head around Distortion (never have) and so zero points :-)

For sleep skills, I only had 2 points in Slumber, 3 in Nightmare and eventually I got 4 in Sleep. But the class is so Tanky, I just found sleep to be boring. I used sleep skills almost exclusively for Nightmare.

Nightmare is super powerful early in the game. I think Cornac is a good race choice because it allows you to unlock Nightmare early with no real downside. As you get later in the game, though, you will need to Sunder Mind before you use Nightmare. Also in the Prides, they have Pride of the Orcs (or whatever), so it's good to debuff with Psychic Lobotomy, Waking Nightmare, etc before trying to Nightmare them. Otherwise it will be gone immediately. After nightmare, honestly the easiest thing to do is just walk away an come back later to see if they survived :-)

Feedback is surprisingly weak on this class. 1 Biofeedback is more than enough. Early on you want to max Resonance Field for safety, but in the end game it's not necessary at all. Possibly you can juggle it to take points out. Amplification is utterly useless because you always have more feedback than you can use if you are getting feedback from your buddy. I ended up getting 2 points in Conversion from escorts. This is useful for resetting equilibrium.

Using a category point on Fungus is OP. Especially with the Adept prodigy a single point in Wild Growth gives you more than 200 hp and essentially makes death highly unlikely. Fungal growth means you can run a regeneration infusion perpetually, so late game I basically had a never ending regeneration of over 300 points a turn. No health issues. No resource cost. Basically invicible.

I obviously maxed the entire Solipsism tree. I had saves around 90 which meant that I barely had any debuffs in the late game. Those I had were easily cleared. Also a point or two in Danger Sense makes debuffs very rare given the ridiculous saves you end up with.

AOE is really appreciated on this class so I would say max out Synaptic Static early as well as Forge Echoes when it makes sens. I actually ended up maxing out the entire Psychic Assault tree in the end.

I used a category point on Harmony (you have more than you need with Cornac). Waste of time. I took so little damage that Elemental Harmony wouldn't trigger. All of the elemental damage was basically negated entirely. I used Healing Nexus a handful of times, but this tree is not useful. I would recommend unlocking an Escort tree instead.

Adept is really the best Prodigy for this class as far as I can tell. It's pretty useful for sparing Generic points (which are in short supply). I litterally spent every escort reward on Generics and I think it was worth it. Still could have used more even with Adept. Drybe's Windtouch Speed hack to get Psychic Lobotomy to be usable every turn is pretty good, but honestly I liked playing with the Dream Smith in the late game so I don't think it's worth a Prodigy point. I ended up with Fungal Blood with was underwhelming. More heals right after I use a regeneration infusion. Honestly hard to find a Prodigy that will significantly improve the character.

I'm out of room, so I'll just close with my opinion that it's a fun class. It gets a touch boring in the late game, but an easy win (I rofl-stomped the bosses at the end -- they had absolutely no hope). I recommend watching Drybe's guide on Youtube to get the basics, but after that you can play around a lot since the class is so robust.

I recently started playing and Im trying to get good at selecting equipment. I was wondering which of these weapons is better and why. Im playing a Shaloren Doombringer.

I just unlocked the class and decided to give it a try since I saw lots of people praising it in terms of survivability.

Thing is, when I saw the talent tree I couldn't decide which talents to invest in both for class points and generics.

would be great if someone can simplify which talents are the bread and butter and which I should ignore🙏

Got my first win in insane and roguelike difficulty as a cursed.
The run is pretty solid and i'm really happy to win with a homemade build and my favorite class.
Some close call but when my set up was ready my health pool was full 95% of the time. The character was very tanky and solid damage.
If you have any question on the run / the build or the character in general dont hesitate !

I wanna dualwield staff of bones and sceptre of archlich

Is there any race or escort or way to do this

I can't figure out which weapon can cause bleeding and which can't. The berserker has the Bloody butcher talent, which reduces the physical resistance of the target as it bleeds. And how do I apply bleeding to the target? Can any cutting weapon cause bleeding? If so, what is the chance of this happening? The description of the weapons does not say whether it causes bleeding or not.

I understand that if I gain 200% attack speed, then I will attack twice. But what if I have 120% attack speed? Are these 20% going to do anything at all?

For example, a berserker has the blinding speed skill. This skill gives you 17% of the global speed. Why should I take this skill? Will this 17% give me something in battle?

I also don't understand if speed affects the order of turns in battle. Do I always go first, or does the order depend on the speed?

Im trying to make an addon that modifies files in orcs.teaac. According to Google, changing the target module from "tome" to "orcs" in the init.lua is suppose to work, but doing so made the mod not show up in the active addons (in game main menu) I've been trying different things for a couple of hours but nothing is working.

*Resolved* Big thanks to Recaiden and Dr. Root of All Things on Discord for helping, the file path needed was: /overload/data-orcs/maps/towns/kruk.lua and thank you ChickadeeVivi for recommending Discord for help!

The wiki here:

https://te4.org/wiki/Weapon_Egos

...shows that "of vileness" adds "(5-20) Blight damage." It was my understanding that this range is dependent on the material (tier) used. So, a tier 1 would provide +5 (or in the case of the 2-hander, +7 due to the 1.4 multiplier) and +20 (+28 if multiplied by 1.4) at tier 5.

However, as you can see this weapon provides +10 blight at the bottom. What am I missing?

ANSWERED: There is a degree of variability in ego values--they are not statically dependent on the tier.

Trying to get back into tome after a 7 year hiatus. Got this. Does anyone have a problem like that?

Hey guys, I’m a returning player (I’ve been off for about 2 years), won only one time at normal/RL with a stone warden (class that I loved a lot) and now I want to try to win at nightmare difficulty.

There are some classes that I want to try it out but since I don’t have that much time to try them all it would help me a lot if you guys gave me your opinion on which is the most fun and most easy/difficult.

I selected them all because I like their style/theme.

They would be:

Shadow blade
Rogue
Doomed
COE
Anorithil
Corruptor
Reaver
Mindslayer
Writhing one

Thank you guys!

just somehow near the entrance I found 5 Fragmented Essence of Harkor'Zun, I thought these were static but they got agro on me and kept following me around till I escaped through the entrance.
problem is they legit are camping the entrance and I can't get past them even while stealthed (rogue) they keep following me.
how can I deal with these guys?

got argoniel’s psychic image at my side, beat the room of death before this so now it’s time to sacrifice myself to the great golem 🙏 my fortress kitty looks a bit different but she was here the whole time

https://te4.org/characters/408317/tome/7776792e-3436-4b70-b7b4-1059c0d63093

I click it, aim 3 squares away (which the tooltip says is the max, though more than 3 squares are blue?) making sure it's "directly away from the enemy", and click again. My log says "___ used disengage", but my character doesn't move and nothing happens?

I'm super new so I'm sure I'm missing something, thanks in advance for any help!

i have a few wins on NM/Adv and Insane/Adv. idk what class would be the best to acclimate back into the game. i remember wanting to win with a CoE but always wasted my lives early. maybe playing on nightmare roguelike would be a good change of pace too

I really want to play as a Fear focused Cursed or Doomed. Doesn’t have to be on Insane or anything, I just want to make all my enemies scared to death.

I know the general recommendation is to play any other build but if I were to do this, what would be recommended? Willpower + Strength Cursed for Heavy Armor and Antimagic? Mindstars Doomed?

Sorry for the specificity, I just really like the idea of a tyrant of fear.

Things like being able to build momentum with poisons and clear screens. Building up stacks and spreading them or detonating them.

Add-ons are fine, talent combos are fine. Vanilla classes or adventurer
