@Doomforge
Let me just get this right. I am supposed to start a WHOLE new game as in starting from lvl 1, right ?
I can see that a lot of my old builds are stripped both skill and items wise, but they still have all their inventory intact - Can I still use those or does that ruin the fun in v1.52UL ? ( I am only thinking of using my snowball and some other nifty starting gear, such as +% to run speed )
I can see that there are a lot more creatures in the UL, is feels like a x3 x-max mod. Can I run the X-max mod regardless, or is that not necessary ?
Do you have any advise on a fun build ? I have looked the new classes over but to be honest, I am bit confused at the moment 
EDIT Has anyone of you tried the zoom in/out mod - I would like to try it, but am not sure it works with other mods....or even how it works

I used to be playing of TQ. My favorite was a combination between offense and hunter classes, don't remember the names now. TQ:IT was great too.
From what I heard lately, there will be a game called Grim Dawn and it will be made by members of the Iron Lore company and it's gonna be quite similar to TQ.
It should be worth checking out, as well.

Very addictive game...
Wish there was more variety to the enemies you face, though they're still fun to kill (love how they fly all over the place ^^)
Best loot I've found so far was a pair of Stonebinder's Cuffs... +1 to all skills. Feels nice to get something like that so early on.
I absolutely love that you can seperate the relics from the equipment btw... way better than Diablo's complicated Cube recipes. Here you can actually use all those gems in the early game without messing up the lategame.

Been owning everything I've come across but...
**** YOU TYPHOON!
Can't beat him
His seemingly undodgeable life-leech negates pretty much any damage I manage to do to him. Ah...
EDIT: HAH! EAT THUNDA YOU PATHETIC GORO-WANNABE SON OF A WH***!
Took me about 5 minutes... not the most exciting boss fight ever...
Ah well, bet this loot will be worth the effort.
*clicks Orb*
...
WTF! THIS IS COMPLETE BULL****! YELLOW ITEMS? Some minor blue items! **** YOU TYPHOON YOU TROLLING SON OF A B****! GRAAGH!
Ah but he could've at least given me a formula or at least a useful blue item. The top-item was like, Shield of Ice, +10% Cold Damage. Fricking yay.
I have the expansion.
I like how I just defeated a Titan and am now clubbin' crabs on the beach.

like in D2, there are many rather weak unique items, but hey, check out things like Adroit Loop 
@Sphere
there's an uber mod made for Underlord if you want x10 monsters and x6 bosses

Yeah, I'm planning on farming Typhoon for the Adroit Loop later. +47% stun damage...
That + the Tempest set + Crest of Taurus (yeah right like I'll find that...) would be awesome. Oh and Ikon of Zeus... in my dreams.
Feels like just about every enemy in the expansion act uses spears or bows... damn piercing damage... difficulty took a big leap.
Not that I die or anything... it's just becoming annoying chugging a life potion every 5 seconds. Though I guess it's nice to have something to do for these millions of gold I have lying around...

Act IV is extremely unforgiving at normal. Expect to die. A lot. Expecially once you encounter Machae Archers. Their Grandmaster Archers can deal 500-600 damage per hit and they shoot really fast. It's really ugly for characters without good healing/crowd control. There are places where there's 8-10 regular archers plus a grandmaster and those when hitting you all together will kill you within 1-2 seconds.
I made it through Underlord's Act IV normal without dying (with two chars), but I powergamed the crap out of this game and was really cautious at times. Going through Five Domains is always a monstrous pain in the butt.
Adroit Loop iirc can only drop from Epic Typhon, but I'm not exactly sure about this. +47% stun damage is stun duration, by the way - I don't get why do they call duration "damage". The descriptions are fixed @ Underlord.

Yeah I know, just using the official term.
I think I read somewhere that normal Typhoon does drop Adroits... it's just a level 37 item.
I'm leveling up Squall right now... felt like I'll need it soon.

Most definitively you will
also, don't forget to get high vitality resistance. There's a LOT of creatures and bosses that will quickly kill you if you don't max it, as their attacks do percentage life reduction.

You can say that again ...hehe
My previous question sounded kinda dumb but I wasn't going for that.
I took a closer look at my old builds and realized that they "only" got stripped for their skill points not items, although at first it looked that way.
No backup, but thats ok, I have played the vanilla game too much by now, if you get my meaning ( I have a friend that has TONS of stuff muled away anyway).
So it's nice to have Underlord and Lilith installed
You really have to be careful with your heals since the potion timer is set to 16 sec  But so far my new build is going smooth - I am thinking Diviner, but I need to check the cooldown on my 2 primary spells before I make my final decision. I have imported 3 items ( maybe I'll import a few more when I get to between lvl 30-45 ) a snowball, a low pair of boots with a few relics in - for the speed only and a specialized crown for increased exp only ( + 34 % ) 
About the x6 and x 10 mods, I have tried the old xmaX mod and that seems to increase monsters and bosses like in TQ:IM - Is that the one you are talking about ?

Nope, there's a separate mod for Underlord called "Uber Underlord" that uber-izes the game. You know, for players that want to get brutalized by the game.
I think it buffs damage and health, not just plain numbers. But it surely does make bosses spawn 6x. When playing uber underlord, you NEED the mythic stuff, so it's a really nice thing to install once the game is actually too easy on Legendary. It does however have its own rules i.e. "uber" summons for the player with 10x life to withstand the monsters' increased number and damage.
There are also masochists that play Uber Underlord from scratch, untwinked, hardcore (meaning no deaths are allowed). Some of them actually finished the game, lol. Possible, but too annoying for me to try (It's all about abuse and positioning, since it's obviously impossible to beat six typhoons otherwise). Much like creeping 300 hydras with 1 cerberi in HoMM3, I hate when the actual "skill" of player is measured by the amounts of tricks he can apply to fool the stupid AI.

I'd recommend TQVault for muling purposes. Creating a mules ingame is too tiresome
Btw, decided to play some TQ myself with my epic Underlord chars ^^

It's arguably the best skill in the game Biggest damage per manapoint (it ticks 6 times iirc), biggest AoE (bigger than the screen on 1280x1024 actually) and fantastic utility in 100% ranged attack impairment. Finally, resistance reduction

Is there a page similar to titancalc only for Underlord around ?
Dangnit, I can't decide if Diviner is any good in the long run ...any advice ?

What masteries are diviner?
Occultulator is what you should look for if you want a good calc. It's not up to date with 1.52 but it should give you a rough idea.
Myself I got a nomad (level 57) and a Druid (level 53) both in Epic now, untwinked and hardcore (0 deaths so far ^^).

Druids are fricking awesome. 
Best glass cannon in the game, I dare say.
Strange cuz I don't even like glass cannons normally, but the druid is just something special...

Well, you may find yourself lacking at the autoattack department, and slightly "glass" as the game progresses, but spirit RAPES bosses (outsider+necrosis) so in that department you will have a lot of fun. Worth a try, I'd say.

It's warfare and nature. Very powerful. Actually everything with 2nd nature mastery is powerful in Underlord, as plague is a fantastic spell, +80% health does WONDERS and an instant 3k heal makes you much less leech-dependent (also makes undead less of a buttpain).

In UL, Druid ain't that glass anymore There's two certain skills that, once you get endgame -100% recharge, will make you a big fat tank. Along with ridiculous damage, that is
