Just started this game, was wondering if there is a list(searched forums couldn't find) of items that are needed for turn ins for crafts. The Slith in Fort Draco has mentioned Fine Leather, Steel and Focus Gems. And someone in the town has offered to make me potions with some herbs. What other items should i be holding onto and not vendoring? ( a buyback option would have been nice if you ended up vendoring an item you later found out could be used to make something)

How the heck do i get into this? It's walled off, and i can't seem to find a tunnel to get in. The wizard i flew to east of Tevronoe said he thought there must be a tunnel. Is it even possible?

I turned in quite a few iron bars, not sure how many, but alot, up at the starting town in A2, after the barriers came down, and it completed the quest. I also completed two quests to turn wine in. Again both were in A2 BTW, anyone know where i can get the dispel barrier spell in A3?

Hmmm the wee crystal in the lower part of the tomb, has a little drawing. I guess i interpreted it incorrectly.

Yeah i've talked to Madhavi, i told her that i destroyed the portal, she tells me to go read the green books as they have useful spels for me, but it never says i've completed the locating the portal quest. Maybe it's a bug.

While in Gharzads tower, i found a book in a room with a lich(i think it was that room) Anyway, it talked about troop positions and movements ect, and said someone would be interested in reading it. I've been to the king and the garrison leaders of the towns, and can't find anyone interested in it. Also, now that i've finished it, i have some quests left on my quest list. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on them. First, is get sugar for Gary. Does this ever go away? i got lots of iron for the person in the first town, lots of wine for others in other towns, and they go their fill and the quest completed. Thing is, Sugar is rare, i can't find a place to buy it, only found two bags of it so far. Food for Harston. I've brought several loads of meal to this person, does this quest ever finish? Find Empire records. Does this ever finish? Find location of Dark Portal. I've destroyed it. I think. The teleporter that i used the Onyx Scepter to close. Is this not it? For some reason the questlog doesn't think i've found it. Find Locke. Never found this guy, not sure where to look. Anyway, if anyone can recall any of these i'd appriciate it, i'm about to go start A3, can't wait to get into it, just would like to tie up some loose ends.

I still can't get this to work. The little map i found in his tomb showed some little symbols in each corner. i assumed that they meant nw left, ne right, sw right, se left. But then there are a bunch of other symbols beside them that confuse me. I've set them to the above settings, several times. Even leaving and completing all three game winning quests, then coming back and trying them again, and still nothing. I can't get past the runes that let you into his inner sanctum. I guess you don't need it to win the game, but it's rather annoying that i can't figure it out.

Do these ever do something at some point? Say when a characters INT gets high enough? or are they just cursed items that you can sell? Oh, and another question, somewhat related to the topic. Why have cursed items that sell for alot when there is a limit on how much gold you can have? I am constantly running around with 15000 gold, and have piles and piles of treasure laying around the store room of Silvar, hoping adventurers don't seek me out to slay me for my treasure horde like i'm some dragon.
