What to learn for a techie???

I am now starting a techie character and I am wondering which tech trees to learn and is moltov cocktail good?

 

explosives,herbology
molotov are good!
but you have to improve your throwing skills to use them well...

 

Gunsmithy! But you're going to have to learn how to shoot... and get lots of bullets.

 

Bullets and money shouldnt be a problem unless your going pure tech , which would be a tad hard... Try the Techno Thief , i got 4000+ @ level 5 picking all the money from Riztezze when he was asleep (2 cp's are enough for then). Get to the LGR and blow everyone outta town :deadly:! Get max dexteriry , dont waste points on int. , use potions instead when you want to upgrade . Learn all the theiving skills except Spot Trap , which isnt as useful . Now my guy is Lvl 44 and KicKin Ass !! =)

 

Is explosive grenade better than moltov cocktail???

 

The Smithy and Explosives are a good combination. But you gotta have good throwing skill. You can also make explosive grenades outta dirt cheap ingredients and sell them for 666 coin

 

I'd also recommend getting Electrical to level 2. The Dex bonus from those Charged Rings has been pretty useful for me AND my followers. :smile:

 

What is a grenade launcher? Is it like a gun and does it require firearms training? What is the best gun in the game? Sorry, I am a newbie in tech cos I only played as mages.

 

My first and last techie (I haven't played since I won the game in October, shortly after I bought it) got the most use out o' Smithy, Herbology an' Mechanical (love that trap springer!).

 

you dont need ALL theiving skills!
you need only the pick pocketing!
and dont forget the Lockpickinig skill-great for a tech character!

 

It depends on what weapon u wanna have, but I think a gun fits well on a techie, so these skills is what I would take.

Dodge, Throwing, Pick Pocket, Pick Locks (require lockpicks), Firearms, Haggle.
Also raise Dex to max, Int to max, Perception to max. Then I´d put some on strength, willpower and maybe another point here and there depending on your background.

And then, finally, what techs you should know. Electrical, Gun Smithy, Mechanical, Herbology, well, most actually but start with these and see how far you can come.
