Swivelable

Do the guardians eventually stop re-appearing after killing one? How many do I have to dispose of before I can take on Zephyrine by herself?

MORITZ'KRI'S TOWER MAIN TOWER - UPPER LEVEL 1 door - 3 - elixir of health, resurrection scroll - s room I believe going in it wanted 3, which I guess didn't think worth it, but the spctral key opened it on the way out.

ooops Can this post be deleted? I was looking at essence infusion. Musta got my L and H confused And I guess the assault podlings can dissipate E shield. Hard to tell what they are doing to you on this shadow road.

At level 33 (Infiltrator) my shield cost 20 essence. Now at 34 it costs 30. I never noticed an increase in essence cost in any of the other games, so I was pondering for an explanation. (wish I could search the posts for a "double word" item)

Is Domont somewhere in the Loyalst fortress?

I did two of the quests and Mel gave me permission to free Bel Speaking of Domont - I let him live, but can't find him in Dorikas' fortress. Must have something in my eye, cause i've run thru the place 3 times now.

I don't think Domont is of any consequence, It's Dervish Tholmen in the howling depths that you have to let live. For that matter, I wonder if killing the spy makes any diff on the Loyalists accepting you. It's also Tholmen that you need to tell to join the Loyalists, and then Ruth when leaving Vahnatai lands

Is there any way to know how many levels of a spell the caster has?

Jeesh, but neither of them cared a whit that the shade was vanquished. And in 20 minutes or more of fighting I never did see the flash of the shade moving. I'm hoping that means I got a bit more exp by whomping all of the animated rock piles. Yea, Tia is put off by my new associations, eh?! heh, heh.

Ah, Pawel. Guess I wasn't all that talkative when I first passed him by. Thanks for the pointer.

I didn't speak to Tiacoura about Moref till after I joined the Anama. Now it seems she's got nothing to say about the shade. Did I lose my opportunity to get the key? I was hoping my Duo team would have no problem here as super priests. (I hope this message isn't too old to add a post to. I'm thiniking it's better to add to existing than to create a new)

Thanks, missed that one in my search (the new engine seems a bit more cumbersome) Wonder why both of us had the problem at this spot. I was about to test more, but I trashed the prefs (without making a backup ) and now I have to reregister. Are there any specific files that I should trash or is a fresh install the best route?

Up till now Mh has worked fine, but I've just climbed the stairs in Solberg's workshop in the NE quad, and the game crashes midway thru this cast. All other spells seem to work fine. Any Ideas? PowerbookG4 OS 10.4.8 Av5 v1.0.3 Hmm, works fine on my iMac (now that I've done away with the quicken schedular conflict with the keyboard). Maybe those blu flashy arm movements are just too much for my old powerbook

Makes sense that some critters would respawn as neither my priest or mage have yet attained Fumigate. Even that spell doesn't always get into every crevice or hidding nook. My approach was to wander around first, hopeing I could deal with an infestation and afterwards talk to the guy who wanted em gone Then I would't have to come back to find that person once the job was done, but could immediately get the quest, tell em I did it, and get rewarded. Sometimes I wander for days looking for the quest giver. I can't complain about the way you have it set up, though. It makes sense to me, and I just have ammended my ways to get that cold drink in town before rampaging the wilderness.

Ah, the "Do not explore till you talk to the locals" Curse rears it's guano head again. It's like you gotta check in with your probation officer before you go anywhere. I never liked wandering with those constaints either. Other than that, I have no idea where you are - is tha east of the Giant spire?

Ah, yes the Eliavri's Bow. I'm a fan! I just wandered around to get leathers so I could upgrade to Heartstriker. But that was a big disapointment for all the hype attached to it. Base damage 8-32 (+4?) compared to 14-42 (+3?) seems a no contest, not to mention the +2 QA, +3 Bows and +2 HostileRes. Heartstriker has no added benifits. Where's the Lizard steaks? The N part does not seem to justify using it. Doesn't the extra +3bow balance off the extra +1? I kinda Like my mage using the Bow of Decay only 7-14 )+2?),(but acid is cool in the right hands!) For real damage I stick to spells. Preist has Ebony for QS and mind effect res. 14-42 (+3?) Warrier uses the Farsight for a touch of sharpshooter and Fatigue Remove 10-30 (+3?) My Nephil Archer has 10 stngth, 12 dex, 22 bow, 6 gym, and 15 Sharpshooter and a smattering of most everythign else. Is that dedicated enough Am I right in thinking Heartstriker is not right for me?

Ah thanks. I'm glad someone's got a birdseye view of these wild lands. I was thinking all the isles were west. And it's actually a cove, not an island. I was able to gather a few pelts that I missed (there and at fang clan- left when I was more squemish about pilfering), and then buy a few more at Solbergs and Highground. Who'd a thought I'd spend silver on foragable goods?! Now that I have enough, i can craft a new bow.. hmmmmm, all that work and a less powerful weapon???! guess I gotta start a new topic for questions on that, eh?

where in the NORTHERN ISLES is GALENA? I'm backtracking to all the leather shops to see if I can't get enough fine leather to do a bit of crafting in the dragon's keep. Of course I stockpiled the stuff till right before I actually needed it, and now there are very few mammals left to skin.

Does he ask for the egg, or does it come up in conversation if you have it in your pocket?

Shields weigh the same so even if I were encumbered it would not matter with the comparison. Assassin''s Shield +2 QA AP=9 to 11 acts first Quicksilver Bulwark +1 BS AP=10 to12 acts second No Shield +0 QA AP=9 to 11 acts second oh gads, this is getting more complicated. Luck (5) may be futzin with the AP as those numbers deviate 1 or 2 points. Lower numbers happen more often. (That's why it looked like there was no change in my original question.) So +1 BS gives me +1 AP, and QA gives no AP, but gives better position in the order of events. I'm not sure where number of attacks fits into this. Which means if you were able to train AP it would cost over 4k a point. But I'm just a poor empire soldier trying to figure out stats and really have no idea what I'm talking about.

BS is obviosly better than QA, as the Quicksilver Bulwark is 5x the value of the Assasins's Shield even though its's 1 BS compared to 2 QA. But when I tried them both, there was no change in action points and the wearer moved from acting first to acting second. There is no description of Battle Speed in the adventurer's stats, but it seems at first glance that twice as much Quick Action is better. What's the lowdown on BS; why is it 10x the value and much harder to get than QA?

No knocking till you find the back door. He's too high on his pedestal to do enough damage.

I assume that a bow is a missile weapon. I don't understand how this chain balances out. The +5 sharpsooter gives you a better chance to hit. but the bulky item then does -5 on your chance to hit. In the end, are you any better off wearing this?

Nothing seemed worth crafting for me until Muck. Now I'm bummed I didn't hold on to a Gold Necklace. Mmmm, but maybe It's time to get rid of these 2 dozen bottles of wine I've been hording. Ya'd think someone down in these dark lower corners would be thirsty. Maybe I could find a birdbath to pour it into. Liquid daze for the next adventure party who wanders thru.

I realized, as I kept learning new spells, that some newer ones were better versions of earlier spells. Next time thru I'm gonna ignore spells like Enduring Shield, Prismatic Sheild, and Summon Aid, or at least not put any extra trainng into them.
