'I'm a big fan of tabletop and D&D,' Girard told Shacknews. It's a fresh way to experience an all-new D&D world and we reached out to Tactical Adventures CEO & Founder Mathieu Girard and Marketing Director Pierre Worgague to learn more. This mixes together the storytelling elements of Dungeons & Dragons, the dice rolls of a tabletop game, and operates on the SRD 5.1 ruleset. The latest comes from the team at Tactical Adventures who are putting together Solasta: Crown of the Magister.

You can either keep these drops or sell them outright for some gold. They’ll pick up random loot that you didn’t grab earlier, or they might find other stuff.Īfter time has elapsed, you’ll see the wares that they’ve collected. Simply put, their members will go to locations that you’ve previously cleared. The Scavengers have an entirely different function. There’s also another faction in Caer Cyflen, the Scavengers. That’s followed by an encounter and an investigation to claim a quest item. The sidequests would often have you revisiting a dungeon that you’ve been to before. These also reward you with certain loot drops (i.e., magical items, crafting materials, and gold). The notice board has sidequests given by specific factions. Alternatively, you can check the notice board at Caer Cyflen’s market square. To increase your reputation with a particular faction, you can give the vendor NPCs certain items that you’ve picked up (i.e., tomes or journals). Antiquarians – Magical accessories (i.e., Bag of Holding).Circle of Danantar – Magical weapons and armor.Arcaneum – Primed items and spell scrolls.Since I’ve already talked about a faction vendor, you’ll be glad to know that Solasta: Crown of the Magister has four major factions in Caer Cyflen that sell extra stuff:

Primed items can only come from lootable sources (i.e., chests or drops) or the Arcaneum faction vendor (Heddlon Surespell) who’s chilling inside the tavern. You cannot turn a regular item into a primed variant, that’s why I just advised you to sell generic junk that you don’t need. The primed version of an item in Solasta has a small blue blacksmith/forge icon symbolizing that it’s ready to be used for crafting. Lastly, weapons and armor pieces require primed versions. As for scrolls, the character doing this task should have learned the spell beforehand.
