Artificer and Completionist

[Combat_Wombat]

I don't know of a single completionist out of three who didn't use XP Pots, and of all those I know of that TR, most of them use XP pots too. Then there are the mana pots that make flying through levels with a caster ridiculously easy.

Regarding the OP, the worst part is, imo, the +4 tomes they have to re-obtain.

XP and SP pots are easily obtainable in the game in mass quantities for free very easily

and its also extremely easy to make a character without +4 tomes

Everyone who TR's or tries for completionist should be well aware of what they are getting into as its well spelled out all along the way. No one is making you TR again and lose your tomes if they are that important don't do it. It is that simple.
