I was curious if I could gather any information on if there's possibly any hidden general/specific bonuses to the Mystic path if you go all the way to arcane vision?

Or if there's maybe any added extra skill perks for perfected skills?

I'm not asking which or what, because there's fun in that. But with the lack of edges like they used to be, preplanning a thief build has to be completely precise.

Any love is appreciated!

Scrolls and arcane lore are great. Mystic path scroll efficiency is terrific.

Glimpse is neat, good for exploring. There were a few unpickable chests I never found the key for, but I know what's in there anyway.

Depending on your playstyle, both the veils can be useful. Secrecy for keeping your goods... secret, souls for espionage. I think veil of souls was upgraded to work against the twitchy edge and danger sense maybe?

Lore of the ages is useful at hero range, where a lot of people will have high powered magic weapons.

Infiltrate is not very good. I went mystic path because of infiltrate, I was thoroughly disappointed with it. I did enjoy the path though. Funny how things work out. I used infiltrate for RP purposes only.

Despite multiple people asking me to hypnotize them so they could see the affects, none of them passed the information along to me. I didn't pk either, so I have no clue how good/bad it is.

Arcane vision is detect invis/magic on a stick. Great for the lazy. If I wanted to try hypnotize out again, I'd probably spend 2 points for arcane vision to cut out the weight of detect invis preps. The detect magic part will help you see if lore of the ages will kick in as well.

It's pretty bad... you can probably search for specifics.

If there's anything here of value above lore of the ages, I never saw it across three thieves who took the whole path. Very lackluster. Lore of the ages wasn't bad, as well as the general scroll use improvement.

Were any of them Drow? I'm wondering if int maybe effects their skills greatly.

And also, for the hell of it, did you perfect the skills to see if anything different happened like how some of the other paths work?

It was awhile ago, but I either was arial (23 int), drow or elf. I think I got hypnotize to high 90s but then was told nothing happens when it is perfected. Lore perfected real quick and is nice, the rest, not so much. It's really only worth it for the scrolls.. you're spending a whole lot of points for RP skills that do nothing really.

I couldn't stomach it all the way. This is almost three years ago though and I feel like it's been adjusted for some reason.
