Fledgling Fyora Lise Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I don't seem to be able to collect any of the corrupted mushrooms. I have read all of the posts on this board on the topic and gone to all of the available locations where the mushrooms are supposed to be (Great Cave, Abyss, etc.). I see the tiles with the corrupted mushrooms on the ground (sort of moldy green looking, right?), but I don't get any special messages or special items when I walk on them, and when I use the get screen, there aren't any mushrooms or items around to pick up. What am I doing wrong? Is there a particular order in which you have to retrieve the mushrooms? Here is a screenshot, in case I'm somehow not finding the right tiles: http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/6444/mushroomsq.png Thanks for any help..

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 That looked like one of the two places in the Abyss where you can find the mushrooms, the crypt with the banshees. If that was the place the mushrooms are in the northeast area near the river and look like ordinary mushrooms. When you look at them in inventory they have no value unlike regular mushrooms.

Ineffable Wingbolt Øther Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I find that those green blotches usually give me herbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 bit off-topic: there are 2 batches of corrupted/diseased mushrooms at Northern Avernum, 1 at Giants Land and 1 at Mel's castle but does it matter which batch gives as quest item? I gave those I found at Giants Land and got reward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 There are two batches of each of the four types of corrupted mushrooms. Either of the two is acceptable for each part of the quest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora rfulbkf Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 PLEASE! Answer my newbie question. I just don't want to create an other meaningless thread. QUESTION: How can I raise my magic and priest spells? It seemed to me the only way is magic books. Am I right or there are other ways?

Well, you can increase your skills at casting mage and priest spells by levelling up and putting points into the Mage Spells/Priest Spells skills. You can access your skills screen by clicking the ? icon next to the character's portraits. You can learn new and more powerful spells through spellbooks, special encounters, and people who will train you in the spells. There's a list of all the spell locations under the "AVERNUM 6 STRATEGY CENTRAL" topic in the Avernum 6 forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is my problem: I have standard 5 free skillpoints after a new level. For example, I wish to improve bolt ov fire. I access character's spell/taits list and get stuck here. I can't see any active interface buttons. Just a list of spells and that all. What am I doing wrong? Is it possible to invest skillpoints directly in spells or not?

Well-Actually War Trall Micawber Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 No, you cannot use skillpoints for spells. You can either read a spell book or pay lots and lots of coins to a trainer (usually a priest or mage in a major town). The list of trainers is in the strategy central link.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Originally Posted By: rfulbkf Is it possible to invest skillpoints directly in spells or not? It is not possible. You get spells through finding spellbooks, or by buying them from trainers. There are only a few cases where buying more than one level of a skill is worth the cost. Additional spell levels don't make a large difference to spell power. Edit: Dikiyoba was too slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I doing wrong? Is it possible to invest skillpoints directly in spells or not? You can improve the power of all of your Mage spells by investing your skill points in Mage Spells or Spellcraft. Increasing Mage Spells lets you do higher level spells (I think the hardest-to-cast spell requires skill of about 17), but is more expensive, so once you can do the spells you've learned, invest in spellcraft until you have higher level spells. I like to keep Mage Spells one or two levels above the highest spell I know (up to 17), so when I get new spells, I can use them right away. But the rest goes into spellcraft (or other skills). The same is true of Priest spells and Priest Spell skill. Spellcraft works for priests, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
