Optimal game SAVEs a) after become mage (LvL30 1.04a-STR-MANA) OR b) before choosing camp (LvL24 1.04a-STR-B) OR c) before spending learning points (LvL17 1.04a-M) OR d) after opening chests and collecting permanent bonus (LvL9 1.04a-J)

Description of 1. 04a:

The save version started on the 1. 04 hotfix 1. The goal is to open all doors and chests in camps and mines WITHOUT:

- spending LP

- talking to NPCs (only Diego, I managed to avoid it once, but strange things happened afterward, so I gave up)

- killing monsters

- letting something kill monsters

- getting caught red-handed while committing crimes

- triggering events that cause changes to the world (e.g., blocking Drax's escort mission, Caine's death, blocking the blacksmith mission, etc.)
