Hi all!
I'm brand new to the server after finding some happy nostalgia playing NWN2 again, and I'm loving the LDoA so far!
My question is about the essences you get for killing kobolds for the mages and what the heck you're supposed to do with them?
I got the wood and metal crafting figured out, (that's just the same as vanilla NWN2 and is explained on the wiki for other noobs like me) but for the life of me can't figure out what to do with these faint and/or weak essences. Does anyonne have a guide?
Cheers!

Essences are used just like they are in vanilla NWN2 crafting. If you have a character with "Craft magical arms and armor" you combine them with a weapon a gem and a spell to enchant the items.
The thing is, there aren't a lot of gems in this server. The only reliably attainable gem is obsidian (I believe it's buyable from either the collector or the Celestial Store. Don't recall right now).
What this boils down to is you can create +1 weapons, armor and shields.
I have a crafting character that takes all the crafting feats (straight wizard) and generally I gather enough materials to get everything to +1 before I start adding runes. You can combine this with the crafting from materials (generally Darksteel for weapons until Adamantine becomes available, Zalantar for shields and mithral for armor) with a straight +1 across the board for a pretty solid start before you start adding runes (for non-casters at least).

If you have a character that is level 10 or above you can use your spirit stone to "Register for fast start". When you create a character instead of talking to the councilman, you can go into the back room and talk to the "avatar of Destiny" (or something like that, its the glowy guy in the back room) and choose the "seize destiny for myself" and it will send you to the fast start dungeon. Killing the guy at the end of the hall levels you up and there are 6 dungeons chained so you are level 7 very quickly. You can search around the site for more details.
characters with ECL will still make it to level 7 but will have to pay of the xp difference in debt
