    [​IMG] I used the search feature and found previous posts in which both Wildfire and Lokken had posted a link to a complete FAQ for the Deck of Many Things. Unfortunately, the links no longer worked, as the message board they linked to seems to have removed the post that they referenced. Could someone please post either the FAQ here, or else a working link?

    Thanks.

    [​IMG] Since Wildfire asked me to find this, and I still don't have ToB, I can only quote FAQ from Setsuna from Official boards. This FAQ is gone with all older posts there. So guys, in future - DO NOT POST HELPS/FAQS and similar THERE!
    Anyway, credits to her.

    But be sure, since I can't check this all by myself, expect my PERSONAL view on this. Very soon. ;)

    And her another addition:

    Setsuna's FAQ seems to be accurate, as I've played around with the Deck in game.

    Per the Cambion draw, it appears that Emperor gives you a permanent mindshield. I got it in the third draw. I don't recall any xp gain from it or any other effects, but I can't be sure.

    [​IMG] The Emporer mindshield lasts 24 hrs, just long enough to deal with those pesky mindflayers.

    Has anyone beaten the Cambion on the 3rd draw? First run thru' I put it down to bad luck. Second run thru' I reloaded 12 times and whatever I got he always got 'Wheel' - top card. Hmmmmmm.....

    Right, there is something fishy in his tactics; sometimes he will automatically get the best card, and you can't do anything.

    [​IMG] IIRC, Setsuna stated in this same FAQ that the Cambion could not be beaten on the third draw; the game will make sure he wins. :)

    [​IMG] Ah, so that was when you were playing the Cambion; IIRC that effect is only possible playing him rather than drawing it directly.
