Sil: What are your least liked features of Sil?

[taptap]

I don't mind being distracted by orc scouts - and I like to deal with them - the mold thing really hurts. (Low will, low strength char can have a real problem clearing them out - and often needs some rest in between. Hell I even died to a brown mold before - because I was too confused to leave his influence.)

Glamdring vs. Orcrist: Orcrist is 450 ft., Glamdring is 650/700 or so. And I often find perception more useful than will - unless I am entranced.

[HallucinationMushroom]

Completely off topic, but why don't molds gradually get larger? I mean, worm masses move and divide. You could just have molds gradually take up adjacent squares. What a terrible idea. Never mind.

[WildKhaine]

You can Smith when a mold is in the room, as long as it's not right next to the forge. It'll interrupt you but just resume and it'll finish it.

[Starhawk]

Can you smith in the dark? A risky but possible solution to molds/scouts. Assuming you don't mind the chance of being sneaked up on by something more brutal.

[HugoVirtuoso]

I think this can be tested by taking off the Light source and then try to make something in the presence of the Mold?

[wobbly]

Doesn't work, I sometimes do it because I obsess a little over wasting the torch. Curiously they glow in the dark! If you try smithing near one & it disturbs you it'll appear on the screen even though you can't see it. Doesn't work with those orc scouts shouting. I think they need to be close enough?

I vaguely remember reading somewhere that forges themselves produce light while you're using them. Can anybody confirm?

Yes it does -- this is why if you e.g. sit on a forge with light radius 1, and there's a mold a couple squares away, you will be interrupted on your first turn of turning on the forge -- the light exposes the mold.

I think the light even stays on when the forge is waiting to resume, but I'm fuzzy on that one.

What happens if the player wears a Greatsword of the Shadows and a Shadow Cloak and has no light source? The forge still illuminates radius 1?

Edit - I have some news. I recently started a Feanorian Smithing character that found a Shadow Cloak at 50ft. I went to the first forge at 100ft and there was a Grey mold nearby. I put on the Shadow Cloak and took off the Wooden Torch, and started making my usual Rings of Accuracy (+2)...And voilŕ, I was able to do the Smithing in the dark with that Grey mold nearby. Looking at the character screen, the Light Radius was -1.

If the Light Radius is zero or higher in presence of the mold, the Smithing will be interrupted. But, if the Light Radius is -1 or even lower in the presence of the mold, you can Smith without interruption.

So, it *is* possible to do Smithing in the *dark.*

Awesome! Now you're thinking like a glitch hunter

It's nigh impossible to tell which category you've selected on the smithing menu when you're color-blind. The gray and white are way too close. Same thing on every other menu, I might add.

What form of colourblindness makes gray and white look the same?

[T-Mick]

It's not really grey and white. More like really light blue and white. The same colors are used on the character screen when allocating exp.

What I find mildly annoying is when Duruin is the first rauko I meet.
