Ok 1st off I have completed the game with every charactor
Each reaching at least level 82
So you can trust me on this
Pures much like on runescape, base their stats on 1 specific ability
For a berserker or knight use strength
For druids use dexterity
For alchemists use intelligence
Your 1st time with a pure may be awkward
So you may need to add a few points to stamina (health)
But if you want 100+ on a stat fast
I suggest
You get about 5-15 lvl ups before you use the stats or ability points
This gives you a massive boost
And you can spend the points on much better things faster
You should enchant your armours to boost you're prefered skill
I have a lvl 24 knight who has 101 strength and over 160 strength all up
Pures become very rich very fast
It takes about 1-2 hours to get lvl 30 or so and ull have 100,000+
Try not to carry to much with you
Since it will continously send you back to aven, robbing you of precious training time
Use viles instead of bottles
Bottles are a waste of time because of their weight
A easy ( cheap) way to get a good pure
Is to do the supercheats way
Just get a few lvl ups
Save
Quit
Load
And restart
Once you hit about 5-7
Start going through all the catacombs
And save n restart
This will give you good ammounts of items and exp
The downside is...
The higher level you are
The harder enemies become
Not in difficulty
But as a level 1
Killing a spider takes 2 hits of around 12
At level 10+
It takes over 100 damage to kill
And you will also
Find an increasing number of un-usable or high level items
But non the less
Pures are awsome
And great for multiplayer
Especially mages, because they can heal your team greatly if they are pure
And melees will be a powerhouse for cover
Also
Even if your melee or mage based
Always carry a bow and arrows (or throwing items) with you
Because some enemies tend to run away
And you just can get a good hit on em

Tip for knights
If your going to use a pure knight
Just get lvl 1 flurry
Its all you need
I can hit 6 300s with it
I can do even more with my main knight who has 20 everything
But yeah
Thats about it
Peace... And WAR!!! !,,!, ,!,,!

This is my little guide to tips for brotherhood of the blade.
1.Save frequently. You'll never know whats around the next corner.

2.A good way to get great items is to get past the part where you invade western catacombs and get an item. Once you complete this (you have the item) SAVE(if you don't, this wont work), exit, and restart story. The loot gets better every time. This is a great way to get a nice little headstart in the beginning of the game.

3.for alchemists, do not attemp to petrify bosses with the "stone gaze" ability.it DOES NOT work. This has caused my downfall many a time.

4.If you forget what you need to do in a quest, press 'Select' and go to the icon of the book at the top right of the screen. This is the quest journal, and it will usually tell you which way you need to go.

5.if you can't decide what to choose for statting up when you level,here is a table.

/|Strength|\This is recommended for Knights and Berserkers, because it adds damage to melee, and as an extra it adds carrying space

/|Intelligence|\Druids and Alchemists are recommended for this one. It adds to your Power limit, so you wont run out of Power in those tight spaces when there is 4 enemies on you.

/|Dexterity|\This ones all you, knights and druids. Mostly because of the act that increasesdamage on ranged weapons and special abilities.

/|Stamina|\Go for it, alchemists and berserkers. You'll need all the health points you can get.

6.You can see how fast a weapon strikes by it's weight. Redemption, for example weighs 2.0 pounds, which is a very fast striking time,which is faster than Titan, which weighs 6.0 pounds, whichc is a moderate striking time. To find out weight, scoll over an item. You'll see either 1 or 2 hands in the middle, how much gold it sells for to the left, and finnaly, next to the scale, a number such as 7.0, which is the weight of the item.

And thats about it.This took about 15 minutes to write , heh. Some people who have been playing for a while will know most of this already but I'm sure if some people read this whole thing it'll help them.

Took an extra 5 minutes looking over for typo's. Not to mention proper english.

When you go into certain areas of the game you will come across rare monsters (monsters with a red glowing circle around around them).

So if you fight them and you are victorious you get extra experience but if you then go to another location and then go back to where you had just came from you will be able to fight them again as they will have reappeared giving you extra experience again.

This works best at the start of the game by defeating all of the praetox in the inn and then going outside up to the acadamy (BUT not going to far or you will not be able to do it) defetaing all of the praetox there and going back into the Inn where you can fight all of the praetox again.

Keep doing this over and over again as it gives you lots of experience and then once you get to a good rank i.e. Level 20 speak to overseer lyseeta and start the story off properly but as a pretty much undefeatable person comapred to all of the other creatures that you will come accross for most of the game,

I hope this helped as it did for me. PaulC

Ok you people know how it feels when you die and you lose all yor stuff and you get ...well mad

We'll heres my tip. Right when your character dies press start and exit to the main menu.then...save here, then load the saved games, and you'll start with everything you possessed before dying.

Hope this helped
