TheDarkHumour as an undead I know you just need to combine it with a poison barrel - poison tea for when you want to be sure the living never steal a precious cup
Don't underestimate the economic power of selling tea. At one point in it's history, England was spending literally about 10 percent of it's GDP, just buying tea from China.
@Sightless_Seeker hey the Chinese brought it on themselves we just wanted free trade and reasonable prices for black tea, opium just happened to be the only thing the Chinese wanted to import.
It's Glorious Yorkshire Tea, when next I travel to the hellhole that is Great Britain, I'll buy some Yorkshire Tea because I bet it's better than Twinings or Lipton.
In the beginning there was balance. And the balance was without fun, and boring; and sadness was upon the face of the players. Then Spiff said, Let there be exploits: and there were exploits. And Spiff saw the exploits, and it was good. -Book of Sega Genesis
I started a new game the other day after watching this. This exploit works, although Griff's Drudanae is not growable, and you also dont get another seed when harvesting. You are also not guaranteed a double herb every harvest, but it's still a pretty nice increase. You CAN however get a drudanae seed in the hidden alcove, behind the place you find Fane! So go there, get that bucket, along with the others, and start growing that regular Drudanae, and earn shit tons of gold! Hope this helped some new viewers at least!
This is how you also play D&D. DM wants you to go on an elaborate journey that is well prepared, enticing, and fun. Player notices a possible exploit in town. Derails whole game by seducing the hidden big bad guy with tea.
Or the bard manages to seduce a succubus, and gets her to basically spill the beans on the entire over-arching plan of the main villain, before he commits honourable snudoku. :3
I would like to direct all of your attentions to the Opium trade. Remember, Britain decided to hook entire cities up with the stuff and essentially force China to buy British goods or pay back silver.

"Herb farming simulator" one of those phrases that will get you on a government watch list. Next up will be "being on a government watch list is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits."
The best thing about the D:OS II is that you don't even need the money for weapons. You could just store the buckets you just conjured out of thin air into a box to increace it's weight. After the box weights over few tons, you can start killing enemies by dropping the box on toes of your foes with telekinesis skill. Scholars call it "barrelmancy".

NeostormXLMAX Yes but that assumes you have all that gold, AND it means they’re dead and thus cant be pickpocketed again later when their inventory refreshes.
Winjin By act 3 you shouldnt need the money anyway, though. Its in the very beginning when you’re weak as shit with crap armor and weapons and trying to get basic spells that you need money the most, and dont have it.

My favorite "exploit" is to yeet into the death fog room, on the boat, with 16 str and grabbing two barrels. Always fun having 2 seperate instant kills.
@@AnarchyArcher , thanks! I'll have to check that out. However, to be honest, I've put enough time on tactician difficulty and know the harder fights well enough that there really is no need for the death fog barrels. It would be getting them to have a complete set of barrels at hand.
Get a lit candle and place on top of low HP crate. Fill crate with cargomancy ingredients as well as oil and ooze barrels. When the crate breaks, the oil/ooze spills out, hits the candle, and immediately explodes. Massive physical, poison, and fire damage, plus Slow.
Didn't Inferno plus pretty much nuke the entire final level of the first Divinity game with a fruit basket stuffed with 500 Molotovs or something similar?
They sorta fixed it. You don't get magically appearing buckets anymore, but this 'exploit' helped me get through Act 1 without having to pinch every penny with my bony fingers. Especially when you nab some Drudanae and grow a bunch of it to supplement your purchases with drugs instead of just throwing gold at them. It got me into the habit of trying to get purchases with as little actual gold leaving my inventory as possible. I got up to ~140k in actual gold in my inventory by the time I finished Act 2.
Hey there British folks, I know y'all have had your fair share of screwing over native populations; however, did the leader of your country sponsor the forced migration of hundreds of indigenous tribes? Do you put that man on your 20$ bill? Yeah, the USA is a wonderful place.
I remember having fun with this one. I played it around release date and have not found any serious "hacks" (if you don't count that you could toss yourself when standing on a object that could be tossed)... What i do remember was the D:OS, where i'va managed to make my fighter somewhat immortal - don't remember the skill combinations, but there was a skill that allowed you to cut yourself for some boost and also some passive to heal you when you touch / walk over blood... well, those two combided resulted in -20HP dmg cut combined with +400HP heal from all that blood touching you (with loads of heal visual and sound effects) :D ... i even have video of that somewhere stored on my pc :) ... good times...
actually this is exactly what the devs have said they would never remove out of the game bcs cheesing and breaking the mechanics is part of the fun. and i agree. all the other rpg devs could learn some things from Larian Studios. (they wont)
I was a coffee drinker for life...or so I thought. Tea was never an option. Being an American, I was ignorant and untrained in the preparation of said beverage. I only knew it as the hot lemon and honey stuff I was given when ill. Furthermore, I've now realized, it was criminally low quality tea. That, and the fact that no one said I could add sugar and milk, forced me to write it off as the underwhelming younger sibling of my dear coffee. I. Was. Wrong. My cupboard is now chock full of too many different varieties and now I've ordered a box of Yorkshire. Also I've played about 400 hours of DOS2 and absolutely love how you chose to play it. Cheers!

or you can just buy all of their good tomes and equipment
then kill them and they drop all of the extra gold(merchants always drop the access gold they have compared to there default gold they start with so if a merchant has 500 gold to start and you give them 6000 they will drop all 6000 when they die)
NeostormXLMAX Yes but that assumes you have all that gold, AND it means they’re dead and thus cant be pickpocketed again later when their inventory refreshes.
@@NeostormXLMAX That would mean you loses that merchant forever. You won't have the chance to get anything more when the shop restock.
I'm still not sure if that's a lot of money. Afair at around act III you start buying and selling in thousands of gold.
Winjin By act 3 you shouldnt need the money anyway, though. Its in the very beginning when you’re weak as shit with crap armor and weapons and trying to get basic spells that you need money the most, and dont have it.
18:20 the fact you arnt using the + to just do multiple at once kinda hurts me
OOF
You cannot rush tea production. All tea must be made by hand, one at a time.
Its not about being fast and efficient, its about sending a message
He has a auto clicker so there is no need
You don't suppose the fellow randomly standing right by those 30 buckets of carefully prepared and nurtured and expensive seedlings might've been...a fellow herbalist?
So what I take from this video, is that along with all the other great effects of tea, you can use it to _kill the undead._
you'll need some kind of tea grenade, or maybe a hose...
@@danielharvison7510 Or just offer them a mug of tea, because who can turn down tea? They'll drink themselves to death!
To be fair, holy water is just a water colored version of tea.
Also, I propose we switch the myth from Jesus turning water to wine, and make it:
Jesus turned water into Yorkshire Tea Gold

Resident Evil Characters: "GIVE ME THAT HERB!"
As someone with many hours invested in DOS2 the intro hit me with a sack of bricks
ps it was evening when I watched this so I had some decaf sakurambo as my tea of choice

@@Mehow80 just be positive not negative my guy! Have a good one!
A water barrel can be used to fill cups and mugs with water.
Shift key can be used to queue multiple actions.
never forget. the Day the spiffing brit made himself a character type that can't drink tea
"Is it wrong that I am enjoying breaking the game with buckets?"
From the mouths of the creators, apparently not!
When barrelmancy is a thing devs feel fine leaving in you kinda get the feeling they find exploits fun.
@@CayleDoon The guys at Larian are great, I'm sure they do.
There must be more “balanced” features in this game I would love to see you play this some more! For the glory of Divinitea XD

I'm legitimately tempted to try the Yorkshire Gold Tea that he mentioned.
"I came to do two things: drink tea and fuck you up; and while I've still got more tea than is humanly conceivable, I specialize in multi-tasking" -Sir Barry Bone Boi; 2019
If you wanna get the Dradunae early, you can talk to the Elf in the cage near the kitchen and start a Quest were you´re supposed to retrieve an "Orange" (which is filled with Drudanae) just talk to the blue Lizard north of the kitchen and he will give it to you
or you can just go to the lizard without the quest and off him, he has the drudanae on his body
My favorite "exploit" is to yeet into the death fog room, on the boat, with 16 str and grabbing two barrels. Always fun having 2 seperate instant kills.
Stacking objects into containers and smacking people with superheavy chests is also totally balanced
@@saltefan5925 the old telekinesis exploit.
I think they have fixed it so you can't get the death fog barrels any more.
Dennis Uerling Nah, you still can glitch through the wall with a barrel similar to the crate exploit in the video.
@@AnarchyArcher , thanks! I'll have to check that out.
However, to be honest, I've put enough time on tactician difficulty and know the harder fights well enough that there really is no need for the death fog barrels. It would be getting them to have a complete set of barrels at hand.
Something about this TH-cam channel really makes me want a cup of tea.... can't place what it is
Telekinesis>Every other skill
Praise the Cargomancer.
Get a lit candle and place on top of low HP crate. Fill crate with cargomancy ingredients as well as oil and ooze barrels. When the crate breaks, the oil/ooze spills out, hits the candle, and immediately explodes. Massive physical, poison, and fire damage, plus Slow.
@@Obscenerio You've just basically made the Divinity version of a dirty bomb
Get yourself an Ornate Chest, fill it with shit... One shot bosses.
Didn't Inferno plus pretty much nuke the entire final level of the first Divinity game with a fruit basket stuffed with 500 Molotovs or something similar?
@@Obscenerio I need to reinstall Divinity and do this right now.
They sorta fixed it. You don't get magically appearing buckets anymore, but this 'exploit' helped me get through Act 1 without having to pinch every penny with my bony fingers.
Especially when you nab some Drudanae and grow a bunch of it to supplement your purchases with drugs instead of just throwing gold at them.
It got me into the habit of trying to get purchases with as little actual gold leaving my inventory as possible. I got up to ~140k in actual gold in my inventory by the time I finished Act 2.
Lmaooo bro this games amazing
Second but as all British people I'll just ignore the first
*brewing tea sounds intensifies*
I have no clue what you’re on about. The british have always treated the natives well.
Always.
Hey there British folks, I know y'all have had your fair share of screwing over native populations; however, did the leader of your country sponsor the forced migration of hundreds of indigenous tribes? Do you put that man on your 20$ bill? Yeah, the USA is a wonderful place.
Yup and then if any survive all we need to do is starve them
@@Groober2365 yeah well how about taking somewhere over enforcing poverty and then blaming them when there crops failed

"Fantastic! We now have 18 buckets!" Totally lost it when he said.
I remember having fun with this one. I played it around release date and have not found any serious "hacks" (if you don't count that you could toss yourself when standing on a object that could be tossed)... What i do remember was the D:OS, where i'va managed to make my fighter somewhat immortal - don't remember the skill combinations, but there was a skill that allowed you to cut yourself for some boost and also some passive to heal you when you touch / walk over blood... well, those two combided resulted in -20HP dmg cut combined with +400HP heal from all that blood touching you (with loads of heal visual and sound effects) :D ... i even have video of that somewhere stored on my pc :) ... good times...
now you get to take this game off your bucket list.
Here faster than smallpox got to the colonies
It's been at least 2 weeks
actually this is exactly what the devs have said they would never remove out of the game bcs cheesing and breaking the mechanics is part of the fun.
and i agree. all the other rpg devs could learn some things from Larian Studios. (they wont)
I was a coffee drinker for life...or so I thought. Tea was never an option. Being an American, I was ignorant and untrained in the preparation of said beverage. I only knew it as the hot lemon and honey stuff I was given when ill. Furthermore, I've now realized, it was criminally low quality tea. That, and the fact that no one said I could add sugar and milk, forced me to write it off as the underwhelming younger sibling of my dear coffee. I. Was. Wrong. My cupboard is now chock full of too many different varieties and now I've ordered a box of Yorkshire. Also I've played about 400 hours of DOS2 and absolutely love how you chose to play it. Cheers!
Loved this game, and the fact that it actually has split screen brought me back to the good old days of playing Halo 3 with my bro
That feeling when he is playing one of your favorite games but never leaves the first 5% of the game in the video :(
It's important to spend like 20+ hours robbing and killing everyone before leaving the island
"There is no such thing as too many tea leaves in this world"
Yeah, definitely a Brit.
1:50 This video found me at the perfect time today. I just went to make myself a cup of tea (a mix of green tea and spearmint) before bed, only to remember that I used the last of my tea yesterday and forgot to buy more tea today. And now it's midnight so the supermarket is closed. So I'm tea-less here. So sad. So I'm drinking tea vicariously through you tonight, Spiff.
I'm just about to start playing D:OS2 for the first time ever, so I was looking round youtube for hints, beginner tips etc. Now I'm just going to do this!!
Do be mindful that if you care about them, these gifts are technically mods and this disable trophies/achievements

When crafting multiple items of the same type, click on the recipie and to the left of crafting it, there is a number you select how many you want to craft. Saves you time clicking so many times.
