You know...can I just skip the blade of Xerxes, and wait till I'm a high enough level to blast both the possessed elf AND the demon who comes out if you kill the elf without the blade? There's no way to really lose in this game, short from dying...so could I just skip the blade and still win the ...

Stillwater Giant Actually Exists!

Is there any way to actually convince the world that the Stillwater Giant exists? You can find him on the way to the pass over the mountains to Quintarra from Stillwater, but only after you accept the quest to catch "the Stillwater Giant" in the cave (actually just a bunny). Can you bring the skin ...

Blade of Xerxes

I need the Blade of Xerxes. So, I head to the pit of Fires. There are adventurers outside, and although I have enough persuasion, I choose the wrong dialogue to make them get it for me. SO - I head in, thinking I'll just get extra experience. I find them dead later in a room, so I ressurect them ...

1. If you're close to 20 in a stat, make sure to grab it, as it will grant a huge bonus, usually doubling the regular bonus of a score of nineteen. For example, 19 Strength adds 9 damage to every strike, whereas 20 strength adds 10X2 damage, or 20 damage.

Don't worry about it? This guy just said that he has to fight a random battle every time his XY coordinates change. That's a big problem. His leveling might shoot up, but his patience with the game will nosedive.

2. My only suggestion would be to find a standard plate. It would make since if using larger components for armors produced larger armors, but when you are making a static item (a spider) you probably have to use ...

I don't ever remember there being a bullet schematic...if there is one, it should show up fairly early because late in the game bullets are abundant/cheap as hell. I'm pretty sure it's not a written schematic, because those are obtained later in the game, and by that point, bullets schematics are ...

Trash cans in Tarant have LOTS of lockpicks, especially near the black market. I guess the thieves' underground likes to keep hidden caches of emergency supplies. ^_^

Basically, the only difference is that, while you want to buy both of the items back, the camera costs in the upper thousands or ten thousands, wheras the boot is 4 to 6 gold. Of course, you could just steal the stuff back. Even non thieves can do it:

1. Wait untill night, then follow the ...

He has (0) (hatred), and attacks me on sight, even if I resurrect him, run out of town, and show up a week later. I've tried charm on him, but that doesn't fix an aggressive stance. I can't talk to him, and charm's not working...what else is there?

Accidently Destroyed Key NPC - Please Help

Ok, I was in Ashbury, and I remembered a book that you need to steal. Since I'm not a thief (level 27 half-ogre), I just bashed the barrel on the dock and ran like hell.

Ah... apparently, I finished the second quest without actually accepting any of them. Weird. Anyway, I went back to Stringy Pete, accepted the quest (the acceptance note was buried in dialogue), and it all went well. Thanks all!

Nothing's working, I've tried dropping both the treasure box and the buckles, and picking them back up again, I've gone back to Stringy Pete numerous times, I've switched out the treasure among my party, and I've waited 30 seconds or so - nothing works!

For Sure

As far as I know, you can ALWAYS find an axe handle at the dealer in the northern Boil in Tarant. He's just past the tavern, a gnome or halfling, I think. He carries shovels too, which I found helpful for multiple late quests.
