You should not be able to craft items you don’t know the recipe for BUT when you find a new recipe it should become globally available in later games.

Would give a nice small boost to repeat gameplay and importantly would let you play without having to keep looking at the wiki to see what things you can craft

EXPANSION!!

Great, perfect follow-on to the $5 release.

Yeah this really sort of keeps me from taking any crafting at all.

which will also include our fantastic red haired heroine

Hawt!

So I get these recipes but they disappeared after I view them. What key to press to open these recipes again?

If you open one of the crafting tool windows, then click the book icon you get to the recipies list.

I’ll add that discovered recipes are always added to the bottom of the list.

An expansion!? Oh, I am so getting that!

jpinard · 2011-11-03T17:13:08.000Z

dbaum - is the expansion slated for early or late December?

dbaum · 2011-11-03T21:52:36.000Z

@jpinard: So I guess the expansion has to come in December eh? Well, if it must.

We haven’t made an announcement about the expansion but … it’s really the next big thing on our list after the 107 patch (the one with the female hero and maybe a third of the other stuff that got shoved from the expansion to the core game).

My official answer is “no comment”.

It’s possible. I’m in the middle of crunching out a million new skill icons and items, and UI pieces, and title art and all the things! I’m starting to wish I brought a bottle of whisky in for lunch. (Need more mana.)

So to clarify my statement, aside from “before the end of the year”, we’ve not made a specific announcement about the expansion release. Ahem.

As for 107, hopefully pushing out a beta for that by end of today, playable through the Dredmor Beta via Steam – send me a message if anyone wants in on that, I have a pile of keys in a spreadsheet somewhere. New stuff includes female hero, new item types (pants, belt, gloves), new “half the grind” quick-play game mode, some new UI for selecting skills (that allows for easy extension via modding), and a heck of a lot cleaner mod support (mod folders might work now; It’s really cool).

I should probably just do another teaser post on the blog for all this nonsense. Right. More coffee then I’ll go do that.

I hope you knew I was kidding. I’m glad you posted though, as I’m going to watch the Steam update like a hawk and get in some beta goodness tonight! Yippee!

Why does my weapon gets cursed once in a while… seemed like random to me and only happens to the weapon (mace). I’d change to a new mace and in no time, it gets cursed!

When you go to the anvil there’s a 60%? chance you will receive a positive bonus. Thus there’s a 40% chance you will end up having your item cursed. My first guess is you’ve just been unlucky. Remember, odds are generated each time, not averaged out, so in it’s not beyond the realm of possibility for someone o have every item cursed every time they hit the anvil.

Honestly if there was one thing I’d like to see added its this.

As it is I’m tempted to search for a wiki and leave it open in the background so I can maybe craft stuff. The idea of tabbing back and forth looking at inventory and web page makes me not do it.

habibi · 2011-11-06T20:44:31.000Z

I don’t mean getting cursed at the anvil. That’s obvious and something I’d know from my action
of using the anvil. What I meant was that I could be doing stuff like exploring, disarming trap, step into trap, fight monsters and then I see a message in the message box that my weapon is cursed! I could easily missed this message (who reads them??) and found out by accident that my weapons was cursed for no apparent reason.

Lazy_Shiftless_Basta · 2011-11-06T23:05:55.000Z

Do you mean corrupted? Getting hit by a few monsters, mostly Magicky Golems and Magic Dragons, has a chance to corrupt your stuff. Always try to lower their health from range so you can finish them off without risking corruption. Also avoid anything with corruption in its name.

habibi · 2011-11-07T00:11:05.000Z

Could be corruption … I don’t remember what it’s called. But my weapon permangently have some negative attributes… -minus mana; or minus strength, the likes. It doesn’t sound like it is for a certain time. Looks permanent to me.
