| hello, i'm a new player and i've been wondering about all the different types of golems and how they were different. I know this chart http://help.muelsfell.com/charts.php covers that but it doesn't seem to cover everything. When i look at it it seems like the glass golem is the weakest but by looking around the bourd that is obviously not true. what are the strengths and weakenesses of each golem types, what situation should they be used in, and what do the stats mean, does someone have the answer out there? |

ok, not a total list but here's the thunbnail summary:
flesh - very fast, cheap, 4 slots max research - weak, low HP
bone - fast, also cheap and you can always find bone on the market, no energy drain in desert, decent damage - lower hp
wood - strong against sonic and cold attacks, ignores reanged penalties in wood, weak against heat
clay - regenerates in marsh or storms, can carry a lot
stone - decent damage and resistances
iron - slow, best natural defense of the primary golems, iron can get expensive if you have to repair alot.
glass - fast, does good damage can't carry much, breaks easily, high repair costs if no glass source handy.
copper - fastest metal exotic, heat damage - repair costs high
bronze - cold damage - high repair cost
brass - sonic dmage - high repair cost
adamantine - highest natural defense, hits hard, hellaciously expensive to make and maintain.
Anyone got anything else to add? |

The type and level of the chest determines the overall golem type and level, the rest of the parts can be mixed as necessary or desired. The golem must have at least one hand in order to attack, and must be able to stand to fight at all. Unfortunately you can send a one legged golem hopping into a fight...
The faster the golem, the sooner it will close with the target and the more attacks it can get in a round (i think, can someone correct me if i am wrong?). carrying capacity determines how much armor and accessories you can put on. damage on the chart is the type and amount of damage the golem can do, in order impact, slice, pierce, fire, ice, and sonic. resistance is the defense against that type of damage, same order.
Note: All values listed on the chart are for first level of a type, values subject to change at higher levels. |

| Ok so when i click on the library it says "There is a limit as to how many golem or item levels you can research, so choose wisely." Does that mean there's a limit to how many upgrades i can get? |

Yep, you have 20 total researches to use. This means you can't research everything and have to trade or scavenge for stuff you can't make yourself.
There's also a limit to how high you can upgrade your library, but this doesn't affect how many research slots you have, just what's available to research. |

| There are all sorts of hidden statistics in this game that we players can't see and that's the way Ark likes it. Different golems and weapons have different attack energy costs, rates, etc. |

| On the subject of motivation costs. Flesh level 1 starts out at a cost of 6 motivation per fight. The higher you go in golem type and/or level, the more motivation it costs to send into battle. Also the further you send a golem the more it costs. Higher level power sources can reduce the cost, but 6 is the minimum. Last Edited: Oct 1, 2008, 1:35 am |

More clearly: every golem has a level, this level is the sum of it's base level (I.E. 1 through 5) and an inherent level dependent on golem type. So the basic level 1 golem is level 2: 1 for flesh + 1 for level 1. A level 3 clay golem is level 7, 4 for clay + 3 for level. There's a super secret formula that determines the motivation cost for an attack. Higher golem total level and distance from your workshop increase the cost, more energy from a powersource decreases the cost.
Edit: The level associated with each type can be found in some other thread somewhere. In short: flesh=1, iron=6, the other basic materials in between.Last Edited: Oct 1, 2008, 2:11 am |
