Valkyrie has theology as casting skill so put all skill points into it.
For Valkyrie dwarves are better than dracons since you get the same efficiency with a a bonus 2 lower. For dracon valkyrie I'd roll at least for 16+ so she can start 16 str for carrying capacity but if you want to redo your whole party maybe we should discuss the party composition first.


As long as you always enter the right magic words you should be fine. You can repeat the running to Queequeg process without typing in the correct magic words and see if you meet the captain again there instead.
The oil is a quest item but it will take a long time until you need it so buying it early will only waste inventory space. You can buy weapons/armor or even spellbooks from him if you have money (You can also sell useless stuff there).

OK

But we should probably talk about Wizardry 8 in another thread, when (if) you'll be about to play it

Here we go again.
After many tries finally i receive correct game.How? Easy.
Oldgames were very kindly and now i play his game. No any protection. Moreover no need to start DosBox and every time write down Z:\>mount c c:\bane etc.
No. Just press some *.bat file and game runs. Then i press any button and voilaaa! Ready.
Some info:
All heroes are kept, only Paco the Great has new, male face and he is not thief but proud M Faerie Monk.

Target - to collect 1000 GP and buy this oil
Problems: I did 3 attempts being above levels to open this trapped chest in loc. 3 using Brave and Scatty and every time it killed me. Why?
I duno which stuff to sale to Quee.
I dune which weapon, armor are suitable for which hero.
Very strange! I am unable to find save file of the game! In fact i found in folder \Program files a folder named \Save with 4 *.DBS files, namely:
savegame.dbs
savegame1.dbs
savegame2.dbs
savegame_start.dbs
Note: In my saved game configuration i have another 6 new members of Oldgames, but i ignore them, i do not like his configuration.
All these files have volume 52 Kb and created in same time.
They are constant
Another file savegame.dbs i found in folder \Wizardry 6
It also is constant!
What to do to find this mysterious file. I need it because i do copy of every game in diff. folders to keep track of my progress.
DBS is Database file?
I printed first 4 maps.
Gladly now Alt+Enter works.

You can see my new image.

In case you're using Win7 OP the savefiles can be (with a chance) in the directory:
(user:yoga)\Appdata\...\wizardry6

Sorry, i checked the directory You told me, no such Wizardry folder.
Yes, now i am using W 7 32-bit OS.

I have RIDICULOUS thought that this mysterious file is saved on Oldgames server? I will disconnect my Inet to see what is up.
I did general search using *savegame.dbs or like, no and no result. Very strange! First time i meet such problem..

Si, Caro Capo,
can You imagine i lost more time to select the best faces for You all.

With such stats for a fairy mage you must have gotten an extremely high roll with 25 bonus or so. I spent far more time rolling and never got more than 18. Lucky Yoga .

Problems: I did 3 attempts being above levels to open this trapped chest in loc. 3 using Brave and Scatty and every time it killed me. Why?

Assume all chests are trapped from now on. Their owners don't want to have Yoga the Greedy or others steal their stuff while they are away.

You have to disarm the trap or face the consequences. I described in a previous post how it works. If you choose the right trap during the disarming process and the disarmer has high enough skullduggery skill it doesn't go off.

Did you have your Bard pick all the locked doors on the starting level to raise his skullduggery skill ? I know it's easier having Yoga the Strong forcing the door instead but this way you don't get a skill raise, have your bard try picking the lock for at least 2-3 times to raise his skill before you force it open. If you're desperate you can have your bard raise skullduggery instead of thaumaturgy at a few level ups.

One advice:
SCATTY and PACO are much better with empty hands on the long run since when you attack unarmed not only skill but also combat damage increases. Have PACO hide and backstab empty-handed, if his hiding skill improves his armor class improves too.

Scatty does look green, like a Godzylla from Wizardry VII Speaking of favourites
