Hi people,

Quick question, am i right in thinking that as my cleric/mage I need to achieve 5/5 to find the master of the pits? I guess it's alot easier as a single class?

Thanks

    As I recall, you only need to reach level 5 in one of your classes to find him. Given that you are a cleric/mage, that will be when you are cleric 5/mage 4.

    Which map is the encounter? Does it matter when you find him in regard to his skills?

    You find him at the old tower at the southern edge of Larswood. I think his level depends on your level but I'm not sure.

    He won't appear unless you're level 5 or higher.

    I see.

    Is he better encounter at level 5 or higher levels?

    I think he is the same no matter when you encounter him.

    It's (almost?) always better to get companions at the lowest possible level. This allows you to customize them more to your taste and limits the computers ability to select profs and spells that you would never have picked up.

    Yes, but Baeloth comes with a wide range of spells, does he not?

    And those spells one is not allowed to alter nor decide which to memorize etc, is that not so?

    I believe 2.x changed the way NPCs progress if they join you at higher levels. Now they get experience and you level them up manually. Traditional mages get mysterious bonus spells but maybe Baeloth can choose his spells.

    Yes.
    All the more reason to get him at the lowest possible level so that when he does level up YOU get to pick his new spells, not the computer.

    The game will actually summon NPCs at their lowest level version (which is not always level 1) and then raise their XP up to 32,000, depending on whether your character has reached certain XP thresholds (2,000 / 4,000 / 8,000 / 16,000 / 32,000).

    In the case of Baeloth, I'm almost sure that he will join at level 6 no matter what, so there's no customizing his spells before that. However, his default selection leaves nothing to desire and is mostly useful spells, unless you avoid using the Invocation school (and why would you with a guy like Baeloth around?).

    Edit: oh gawds necro I didn't realize before

    Baeloth wikia says lv5+ is required, but I recall meeting him at earlier level/exp, I maybe wrong or they changed that after 2.0.
    Baeloth's stats is same whenever you recruit him.
