1.7.9
Updated to add the "Tinkerer's monocle" to Gurock the tinkerer merchant, a one time purchase to allow players to find schematics in loot. Thank you starslayer on steam for providing part of the code to allow this.
Added psionic possessors talents to Zemek ("Possessor is a class introduced in an official addon, available only to donators (buying the game on Steam, etc, counts as a donation"). It adds 7 psionic talents available for purchase. Big thanks to EonsTimE on NexusMods for bringing these missing talents to my attention!
If you're reading this, then that means you may be playing the free version, these talents will only appear if you own the game on steam or have donated to https://te4.org/donate purchasing these talents on the free version will only take your gold but not give you the talents, be warned!

Awesome
Buckler Mastery?
Hello, do you sell Buckler Mastery, and by whom? can't seem to find it sorry.
Far East and Mulfar bugs
Loving the concept of this mod, but I'm having a big issue and a small one.
For the big issue: Made a Sun Paladin, and when I left the starting city in the Far East, a forest has replaced half of the mountain range, including the city, so there's no way to go back in. I don't know if this is only occurring when starting on that continent, but I don't really have enough skill/knowledge to speedrun a character to the Far East to see if characters that start in the west have the same problem.
The small issue: Mulfar (IIRC, the shadowy guy with hands) has his final option as ?lua_error FORCE RESTART or something along those lines.
I am running other addons, but ran it with only this one (and official DLC/addons) and still had the same errors. I also tried unsubscribing, deleting, and resubbing to see if maybe the download was corrupted with no luck.
Posting this here and on the Steam workshop for visibility. I'll definitely be keeping subbed for use in the future, though!
Map revert
Yeah, I'm going to have to revert the map back to the original, I was messing around with making the map bigger but, I need to plan it out better. I'll try to get it pushed out soon (I dont have much free time lately) The bit about Mulfar can be ignored, just a debug menu option for myself while mod testing, it wont be there in the full release.
Ok, I pushed out an update that reverts the map back to the original, if you're playing a game that still has the new forest sections I added, you will need to enable developer mode in the main menu and when in game press ctrl+a and select r) Reload/regenerate zone and level. This will update the map removing my forest areas. I apologize for the inconvenience!
Category Points
Is there a way to buy tress you already have unlocked, or buy category points? I want survival on my technomancer, but I just spent my last cat point D:
Category Points
As far as I know (I've played this a lot and have seem the code,) the only way to get Category Points from this Addon is through the Debug Mode.
ANSWER
EDIT: Below is my original thinking behind not selling cat. points, but it's been awhile since I actually played TOME, so I hopped on to refresh my knowledge, and the original reason is no longer relevant because in my most recent updates I removed the option to spend gold to REVEAL a talent category, so it can't really be abused anymore. I will be adding the ability to purchase cat. point from Mulfar soon! Thank you for bringing this to my attention! :)
Original: Adding the ability to buy category points would have made no sense... Since it would have basically made the goal of this mod pointless! You see, it would have made ALL other merchants useless because (you would be able to cheese it by buying a cat. point to unlock another spell that would have been more expensive at another merchant) I would have had to make a category point the most expensive spell available.
So the options would have been:
-Sell cat, points at a price that could potentially be cheesed to unlock expensive skills.
-Sell cat. points at the highest price. Pointless because, why not just go buy the skill from the original spell merchant, and it would have had a high chance to screw over players who didn't know any better by buying a cat. point and using it on a skill that would have been WAY cheaper from the original spell merchant.
Category points can now be purchased!
Category points can now be purchased from Mulfar!
We do still run in to a slight purchase cost/value issue, as I do have the option for each merchant to sell a one time talent increase by x1.2 and the cost varies depending on the power of the talent, ranging from 500g to 1250g (I believe?) So the player is still able to either get a great deal or get screwed. But I suppose it just adds an extra element of skill/knowledge? Anyway, 1 cat. point = -1000g.
Also, I accidentally "fat-fingered" the numpad when uploading my new version, so instead of being "Spell Merchants 1.7.4" it's "Spell Merchants 1" (3/20/23) Big oof on my part, my ocd isn't happy :(
Also, also, as usual, I'm always open for suggestions, just understand, the best place to leave a comment for this mod is on steam workshop, as it's the place I'm most likely to see it! I visit this page VERY RARELY. When I open steam I can see right away when a comment has been left :)
Incompatability
Way your npc generates on worldmap means that some ends up covering one of 4 extra dungeons if they are all unlocked by mod.
?
I don't really understand what you're saying, are you talking about the mod "extra Dungeons"? Because yes, my mod will conflict with it since both our mods attempt to change the same files, so only one mod will load properly if both are installed.Edit: User TsumiHokiro has clarified the issue in the steam comments, I will start work on a fix when I have the time
Issue in Angolwen
I am really loving this mod, however I did encounter one difficulty with it: when I was in Angolwen the spell merchant spawned in on the path up to the village, on one of the the one tile chokepoints leading up to the shops and so on. Because I could not move onto the merchant's tile without speaking to him, I could not pass him to access the village's shops and resources, and now Angolwen is closed off to me.
Pickaxe?
I remember someone else mentioned this issue, they said they were able to get around them by using the pickaxe. When I'm able to get back to work on this addon, I'll see about changing his spawning.
Updated for 1.7!
I've finally updated this addon to 1.7
The "Blood Soaked Ruins" are now fixed and will no longer crash your game or corrupt your save!
ALL necromancer spells have been added to the Necromancer Merchant!
Fixed a bug where Gurock would teach you Arcane Dynamo the moment you touched him (you will now have to purchase it).
Added the ability to buy the steam generator!
some bugs
- Gurock teach you Arcane Dynamo the moment you touch him, which cause your character to incur -20 spellpower penalty unintentionally.
- Zemek spawn rate is extremely low. He's just nowhere to be found in most of my run. Please give him a fixed location like the sun paladin.
- Atakesa sometimes spawn on top of scourged pit, making it unreachable.
Bugs squashed
All these should be fixed as of 1.7.2 Thank you very much for bringing them to my attention!
thx for this addon, its
thx for this addon, its awesome!
plz make Zemek lightning immune so he will be not killed at Derth during storms invasion. or let him fixed spawn at Last Hope
Merchants in the World blocking dungeons
Twice now I have had a merchant appear on top of a generated dungeon entrance blocking access. Both times it was the Easternmost, just south of Reknor near the coast. There might be certain locations that need to be locked out of teir spawn locations.
Looks cool but i don't think i will use it yet.
Looks cool but i feel like this is a mod i should use after i unlock all of the classes it would be cool if the mod could tell what classes i have unlocked and lock out the ones i don't have but it does not matter since i know most people have most of the classes unlocked I'm just new to the game.
Nice...
I've been meaning to ask, and probably should have before this update so you could consider it -- you keep the merchants safe from psychopathic players, but is there a way to make them safe from the gwel...gwleg...spinney lightning monsters during the invasion of Derth? They're pretty much useless there because the invasion starts at character level 14 and very few characters, other than maybe alchemists, gather enough gold to make much use of them before that. Perhaps make them lightning immune? I don't know whether the spinney lightning monsters do physical or lightning bump attacks (I'll have to check next time I run into one), so making them immune to physical might also be necessary. Luckily, their deaths don't interfere with the saved everyone achievement. at least. I use planning and trickery to get that achievement every time, but it's harder to do with the merchants. If I could do it with the merchants (i can, but it requires a specific mod and class), I could save them too.
One other question: do we have to start a new game to get the latest content additions -- dungeons and bosses -- or will they pop up with characters who had previously been running earlier versions of the mod?
Edit: the second question is now moot. I was going to finish up a character I was currently playing when the newest update came, but have decided to just trash it and start a new character with the current version of ToME.
What was I warned about? Also Combat Veteran?
You are currently cock blocking me from the Shertul Fortress. As a super powered version of the weirdling beast. with 4.4k hp essence of speed and rampage. and you kill sustains while you have a million of them. Also the combat merchant doesn't have combat veteran? for increasing hp/stamina regen?
ID merchant incompatibility
Sounds like you have 'Infinite Dungeon Merchants' activated while trying to play Age of Ascendancy with 'Spell Merchants' (as stated on my 'ID merchants' addon these two are incompatible) I had to disable multiple things in the code to make 'ID Merchants' work. This causes multiple factions in Age of Ascendancy campaign to become hostile to you... So I made the weirdling beast unbeatable to prevent players who ignore my warning from getting too far/ wasting too much time (in an unbeatable) main campaign. Disable 'Infinite Dungeon Merchants" to avoid this outcome. I apologize if I didn't make this clear enough in my ID Merchants post :(
Looks like I overlooked combat veteran, I'll be adding it in the next update.
New update 1.5.3 adds talents thuggery (sold by Genchi) and combat veteran (sold by Ateketsa)
Unbeatable?
Is he really unbeatable? i've gotten pretty damn close to killing it. unless he has infinite negative HP. I'm a abomination/ possessor, i got rolled back just after I was ready for my rematch against him. I was going to possess him. he doesn't seem unbeatable at least as this class/race combo. Just a few tiers stronger than what I was expecting. Also the only faction i've noticed is ever hostile to me are the mages of angolwen other than that everything has been normal in my game. I planned to possess them anyway. I have the mod that lets me go into the infinite dungeon after I beat the game. where I'll still need those merchants Lol. THough in some dungeons like the vampires lair your merchants do spawn hostile towards me, but thats one of the only places so far. Anyway. I'll let you know if I manage to kill him, won't have time to try again until a few days from now prolly. Oh and the mages are only hostile to me when I'm undead. I think the fact that I have the mod that lets me choose my starting location..that I'm somehow not effected by the adverse effects you are mentioning.
But if I wasn't playing as a ridiculously over powered combination, i'd prolly have to level up to max level to beat him. i can prolly manage him at level 32 on this character. after going there at like level 24.
Thank you for adding combat veteran.

I won't be defeated by the likes of you! + this isn't even my final form!
Gah! why won't you die? I'll come back even stronger
I came back at level 42 and killed him but he insta gained full hp I've done every level in the game besides killing the master and really need the shertul fortress so I can use the crucible to fuse weapons and so I can store my loot. before I go into theinfinite dungeon I wonder if a hp % based insta kill move can delete him might have to cheat and copy zone/map saves from another save that doesn't have him
Yeah, go ahead and perfect
Yeah, go ahead and perfect the add-on for the main campaign, especially since that's the most commonly played (ID is an acquired taste, really.) Oddly, though I'm not sure how helpful this information might be, certain monsters can be spawned as neutral to you for no reason I can discern -- lesser demons and lesser horrors, generally. It's quite the conundrum to run into a group of wretchlings or luminous horrors where two are neutral and won't attack unless you attack and one is hostile and your best attack is an area spell. The neutral ones won't attack the hostile ones but they will get hostile to you if you damage them. So non-hostiles are theoretically possible in the ID. But, as I said, don't tear your hair out over the ID. I'm glad you tried. I'm not sure why you couldn't find shops, though. Not every level has them, but after three or four levels, you should have seen at least one. They're in the walls, and if you have Zomnibus, you can clear the level and Find Landmark to see if you passed by a shop without noticing.
One suggestion -- either remove stone alchemy or make it much more expensive than the others, because for an initial investment of 600 gold and three or four generic points, a player can quickly afford pretty much everything else. Granted, you can get that with an alchemist escort, but that at least isn't guaranteed and even if you get one, you aren't guaranteed to keep the sucker alive.
Edit: Just realized a certain bit of information could be helpful -- you literally get almost *everything* popping up as enemies in ID, out-of-zone, out-of-depth, Bosses that normally only appear at the end of certain zones in the main campaign (the Master, the Rhaloren Inquisitor, etc) and so on. That includes creatures that normally appear only in town, like town guards and other miscellaneous sorts. I've killed quite a few Sunwall types in the ID, so those are generated as hostile.
Okay, I met Zemek on a
Okay, I met Zemek on a Temporal Rift level in ID (same basic layout and topographical features as the first level of the temporal rift in Daikara. ) He seemed inexplicably angry with me -- he shouted "You there!" and attacked. Luckily, he was a one-hit kill. AFAIK, I didn't do anything to him. I just walked around a corner and he was already pissed off at me. He did happen to be right next to a dreaming horror, though I couldn't see how that would be relevant. He was Faction: Enemies (hostile, -100) and Personal Reaction: hostile, -100. I had killed other monsters on the level but hadn't killed any of the dream seeds and didn't kill anything in his LOS. Maybe the nature of the ID automatically generates him as a monster/enemy? The quest for that level was killing a dreaming horror Boss (a different dreaming horror, actually -- there were *three* dreaming horrors on that level, which is a pretty rare sight, thankfully.) I mention this because some quests are "Extermination," which means killing every single enemy on the level; had that been the quest, I wouldn't have been surprised that Zemek would be generated as hostile. But it wasn't, so there's probably some other reason involved here.
(Re my last comment, I forgot to tell you that the Lost Arcane Vendor sells staves and wands, just so you know what kind of goods are associated with the merchant that sells the spells and trees in the ID.)
Can't remember my Steam
Can't remember my Steam name/password, so I'm posting here with the understanding that you can't reply (at least not until DG fixes your commenting problem) ID levels generally have between 0-3 shops. They're just like shops in town -- none of them involve free-standing characters, just shop icons you move into and get a series of options (or just a list of their wares if they don't offer any services except selling their stuff.) They have fairly generic names like Lost Destructive Devices, Arcane Vendor, Lost Sniper, Lost Alchemist (I'm looking at that last one right now) etc. I'm pretty sure the name of the seller of all the trees was just Lost Arcane Vendor. I haven't seen such services in any other shop except Destructive Devices, and, I think, the Lost Sniper shop, and they offered the generic Combat tree, just like you can get in Last Hope or basic use of bows and slings at the Sniper, both of which were at the same prices as Last Hope. The basic spell trees were offered at 100 apiece, with 500 to unlock, so I assume the combat stuff comes from the main game rather than your add-on, if that information helps you narrow down the mechanism.
(I don't know how much you've played the ID, so if you already know this stuff about the mechanics of the ID, I apologize. )
EDIT: Finally found another Lost Arcane Vendor. As a frame of reference: the character is a mindslayer, with no magical ability whatsoever. The options are: stone alchemy, arcane, aether, aegis, element air, element fire, element earth, element water, teleportation, advanced elemental spells, alchemy, necromancy. Everything up until advanced elemental spells is 100 to get category, 500 to unlock, 750 to refine. Advanced elemental just tells me he can't teach me that. Alchemy directs me to the hermit. Necromancy directs me to pale-skinned lady (Celia, I'm guessing?)
Sounds like a good
Sounds like a good alternative when someone (me) wants to play around with magic while playing a non-mage class. I can do adventurer, but the leveling up process and the endless lists of category trees really wears me out. I sometimes play with the dual class add-on, but that gets fairly suicidal from mid-game on (every. single. enemy. is. rare/unique/boss, which is harder than Madness.) Though, regarding your question at the top, I don't think anyone who isn't an alchemist has ever said they had too much gold. The DG clearly made a conscious effort to minimize the importance of gold in this iteration of roguelikes.
Questions: does this work in ID? I'm about to go on an ID kick, once I settle on a class/race combo I like (and can survive the rares that show up almost immediately in any difficulty above normal.) And do you have plans to keep it from getting unbalanced, since, as you say, gold doesn't really buy much in this game, so spending it doesn't really burden the player overmuch? Perhaps a penalty to primary class-related numbers or something?
Edit: Also, you have my sincere condolences on all your hard work being made pointless by a single update. I've been frustrated like that in my profession. Usually things get kicked really hard for the next hour after discovering the situation.
Unfortunately no, the npc's
Unfortunately no, the npc's spawn in the world map... Not sure if its possible for ID, I mean I should be, but what I mean to say is I don't know if its with in my skill set to do so. I actually haven't looked at the zone files or anything for ID, I'll poke around and see what I can do! As for balance I'm currently doing a playthrough to test things out, if anyone feels a certail price is too high/ low my ears are open.
Edit: Regarding an Infinite Dungeon version, it looks like it might be possible, I'm going to start putting it together now... hopefully I can get it to work...
Edit: I'm confident its possible but it will be very time consuming testing it, I'll try messing around having the npc spawn randomly in a zone.
Edit: Putting this one on the backburner for now, definitely interested in adding it though!
Since you don't list it as
Since you don't list it as completed, I think you may have inadvertently actually created a mechanism that works in the ID. I stopped by an arcane vendor and he (or she) had the basic elemental spells (air, fire, earth, and water) available for learning/upgrading. There was also an option for advanced elemental spells that he wasn't willing to teach me even though I had well in excess of 1500 gp. The alchemy and necromancy offers just told me to go to (place, I don't recall) to learn those.
I'm pretty sure I've covered what happened accurately. Unfortunately, the character died and I restarted it as a new character before I remember to write down what happened. I'm still doing ID, so I'll keep an eye out for another arcane vendor. Honestly, I would double the prices. Lots of character classes end up with plenty of spare points without a necessary tree to use them on, especially generic points. Melee classes tend to do that more than magic/mental ones, too, and they're the ones that would get the most use out of spells, so it's sort of doubling up in the advantage they have. (And you can get extra points by doing level-specific quests in ID, which also factors in.) Raising the prices a bit seems to be the best way to get the balance right.
Not that I minded being able to add four categories of spells in one fell swoop.
Thanks for looking the idea
Thanks for looking the idea over. I should have started a normal campaign to see the mechanics involved before asking -- had I done so, I imagine I would have seen the very problem you bring up due to where the spawning happens. My bad. When I get a chance, I check into the issue of price points and give feedback on that. Right now I can say that some of my characters will break 8000 gold somewhere close to the end, assuming I don't buy anything (frequently a safe assumption until the merchant in Last Hope starts offering special artifacts) but it usually takes an alchemist for me to do so easily. But I like the idea of getting a choice for special artifacts vs spell trees. It actually sounds like a legitimate choice if your kit isn't quite up to snuff before taking on the hardest part of the endgame -- you can finally go for a top-notch lite or cloak, or spend points (that you may or may not be able to spare) on spells after buying a tree.
Edit: Where are they, exactly? Can't seem to track them down and don't see the notepad file giving me directions that you mention. Also realize I'd have to play the character a while just to get enough gold to get a dialogue. Would you be willing to go ahead and give the information here in a comment so I can consider the balance issue without spending too much time on a character I'm not interested in continuing at the moment? You mention 100 gp, which sounds really low for something as important as getting access to new powers.
Time to relax!
Whew well that was a lot of work (4 updates in 2 days!) and I learned a ton! But now its time to relax and actually play the game now that I don't have to worry about having to restart when I add a new npc since they're already there ready to be edited. Next update with some of the roadmap stuff will probably be next week 4/24 ish?
Orks?
Would you add the same option for Orks campaign?
Next spell merchant?
Feel free to leave a comment (reply) letting me know what type of spell merchant you would like to see added.
