Sil 1.0.2

[Gockel]

ah, yes... i'm not sure if it's intentional, but when you kill a stone creature on the stairs, and you clear the rubble, the stairs won't reappear.

Thanks for the bug reports. I've made a note of all of the above. The rubble on the stairs is definitely a bug!

What's the initial bonus from Bane? I'm considering taking it for V - obviously no benefit from prior kills of that race, but maybe worthwhile?

Thanks . And yes, this is as I try frantically to hurtle down the dungeon faster than HM..

Valarbane isn't one of the options. There's a finite list and there are some other monster types not represented on it (but even if it did include everything you can't take Bane until you have at least 4 kills of the relevant type; the bonus is equal to the log (base 2) of the number of kills).

[ekolis]

Wait, why are you fighting Valar? Aren't they supposed to be GOOD guys?

[ewan]

OK, strike that one. Next Valar-fighting Q - does *any* break in attacks cause loss of the concentration bonus? Even if it's because the opponent is reeling?

How do I finish smithing? I'm in the tutorial and it only says what I should do to start smithing and the manual is silent on this.

Once you start, it finishes by itself. Either you complete your work or you get disturbed by monsters - in which case you have to "resume" once you've seen them off. I don't think monsters will attack you while smithing in the tutorial, so I'm a little confused by your predicament.

[Philip]

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear, I start the smithing process, go to create boots, create leather boots, create boots of speed and don't get further.
EDIT: Ah, got it. You have to get out and press f) accept.

Can ringil be obtained in Sil by any means ?

Yes, it does exist in the game. But, it will be rare to find.

I've come across a bug with the lantern of shadows twice now. I will see a special lantern, wear it, it will identify as a lantern of shadows, but the regular lantern I was using also becomes branded a lantern of shadows with the exact same amount of fuel. Apologies if this has been mentioned previously, or was already known. I did a quick search but didn't see anything about it.

Thanks. I'll look into that.

If a weapon "cuts easily through armor" does it do anything other than have a bonus to hit? Also does "draw dangerous creatures to your level" make the dangerous creatures more likely to notice you?

It doesn't give you a bonus to hit (but several of the artefacts with sharpness also have a bonus to hit). It halves the protection roll of things you hit.

Also does "draw dangerous creatures to your level" make the dangerous creatures more likely to notice you?

No.
