mage stronghold - question!

Post by tigergutt »

I am a little confused. After I train the soon to be mages nothing seems to happen.

I go with options 1 and 1 and tell them to stop on the third alternative so that noone dies. Everybody is happy at graduation.

So do i get nothing in reward for saving their lives. I have tried resting in the sphere for 10 days but not a single cowled wizard appears. I thought i should get the apprentices on a more regular bases? am i wrong?

I haven't seen any more mage stronghold missions after graduation either although it seems like there should be and I've seen posts suggesting there are. I'll let you know more if/when I figure out more.

Actually, you have to leave the mage sphere after the graduation, two days later a messenger appears and say that you must meet the cowled wizard in the sphere.

When you get there you will be ambushed by a gang of fanatics hired my a lord "something"

You get a rune of imprisonment to use on him, after you have done that you return and are rewarded with 1 apprentice that will make potions for you .

What kind of potions, and how often (or how many at a time) can you get with that apprentice?

You get 1 potion a week. I think the generating is random. I have not bothered talking to him after i got him cuz mages generally have little use for potions.

[url="http://www.teambg.com"]www.teambg.com[/url] go to the download section. And download it. There is also a patch there that fixes the number of attack pr round for Grand mastery. BG2 does not use the standard AD&D rules for number of attacks with grand mastery. This patch fixes it.
