Fledgling Fyora DeKaFu Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Okay, well, playing the Geneforge series for the first time. With my luck I'm probably missing something obvious, but I can't look it up without running into spoilers. I've only just reached Pentil and cleared the areas adjacent to it. So, earlier, Leader Khobar in Vakkiri told me to go clear out the spawner in Crag Valley. He said the reward would be a "rare artifact the Shapers left behind". I went to Crag Valley and cleared it. I never saw the spawner, but I blew up a crystal thing, and that cleared the area. I also explored the entire Crag Valley map. Much later (as in, now) I went back to Vakkiri and had the option to say I'd defeated the spawner. I did so, and got a thank you and 25 exp. So... Where's my rare artifact? Khobar doesn't mention anything about it and now I only have the "So is there nothing else for me to do here?" topic when talking to him. Is there something else I need to do to get the reward? I'd appreciate any advice. I'm a bit worried I broke something, so I'm afraid to play any further until I figure out what's going on.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 You probably got the reward and didn't notice it. Some quests give items that are dumped directly into inventory. Since they are arrayed by type you can't even tell by looking for the last item. I don't remember but usually it's a pod, spores, or something that you won't easily notice. Welcome to Spiderweb Software. Please leave your sanity at the door. It makes game playing easier since we are sure Jeff doesn't have any.

Fledgling Fyora DeKaFu Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Wow. You're right. I said it'd be something stupid... I was expecting some kind of message in the text log, so it threw me when there wasn't any and Khobar made no mention of it in the conversation. I'd even done a once-over of my inventory, but the reward had the same image as another item I'd been carrying around and recently tossed (a belt) so it didn't register with me at all that it was new. At least I'll know they're sneaky with rewards for the future. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 The earlier Geneforges don't have the items colored specially to indicate it's special like geneforge 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt BMA Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I don't think so. I remember finding what appeared to be a pair of dice which gave a +1 to luck. I wouldn't have noticed it, but when my cursor moved over the graphic I saw that it was differently named; then I looked over the properties and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a magical item.

Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I think I remember some oddly colored items in Geneforge 4 that looked like they had a black light on them. When was this added? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
