... 752 search results, presented as evidence that there are plenty of other forums where people frown upon bringing back dead topics.
what do you know, in a massive world of trillions and trillions of web pages in Google (and at least one million gaming message boards), it so happens that the whole internet has 752 topics of frowning about bringing up dead topics in message boards (usually at least 6+ months old).

Its ok, because I removed the topic as best I could. I would have deleted it if I could as well, my advice is surely not appreciated around here. It sounds humiliating to even have some ironic proof of such insignificant problem. It so happens that to belittle or humiliate a poster are also within rules that don't seem to be followed around here. I didn't do double posts at all, I wasn't going to post a reply to an individual message within my previous message when it had nothing to do with what I was talking about in the previous post.

Talking about board affairs and rules can also be consideredd an off-topic post, when the moderator could have sent me a personal message instead of posting to the whole world. I am truly insulted.

I guess this is goodbye.

I just use, um, nefariousness to upgrade my weapons. It's a lot cheaper, and gives you many more options.
I happen to have purchased the Trilogy, but those who only bought the game and didn't buy the editor wouldn't be able to use the magical weapons the editor gives. -If that's what you mean.

Originally I played the game without cheating or using the editor. If I had to ever use it I would get Gold/Food only. There are others out there who will do that as well just for the challenge.

The Alien Blade is neither. The only property it has is that its always poisoned. If you look into the information of the Alien Blade, the MAGIC button is unchecked/black. Its a non-improved, non-magical item.

I used Pandora's Box to change my gold value to 27,000 right before I spoke to the Vahnatai in Mancuso. Now, as I look into the Alien Blade (P) info, it shows the MAGIC button green. There is no other seller around unfortunately (to sell to and bring the gold up), and Tokor-Te is not interested in buying my stuff either. It worked fine the game is responding well.

I think (if I remember correctly) that the earlier Exile 2 versions could carry up to 30,000 gold. One of the modifications that Jeff Vogel made in the newer version was to lower the gold to 25,000. Maybe he needed to do that to take care of a bug (?)

There was a few things I didn't like about the latest version that I used to like about the previous version. The cave floor being blue and such is just one I remember. It used to be grayish/dark brownish.

Unfortunately, I had no idea of the modifications so when I upgraded to a new computer I just decided to download Exile 2 again. And was surprised to see the new graphics and such. Oh well.

I think the creator originally intended the weapon to be augmented. Its logical, however he forgot about the gold detail. Looks like the only way to do it now is with a game enhancer/modifier. Others like to call it cheating but I am only getting what was intended to be in the first place.

I appreciate you're a newbie, so I won't go to town on you... However, please check the date of the last reply before you post. There is no need to resurrect dead topics.
I don't remember seeing anything like that in the "Exile Board" rules. I never heard of such thing and I've been part of tons of message boards throughout the interner for 13 years now. There is such thing as "lock a thread" if you don't want any more posts into it. The last post was a month ago, not 6 months ago. It wouldn't make sense for me to make a new thread for the TEST OF MIND when there is already one.

I may be a newbie here but not to the web, also I've been playing Exile since it was first released and came in my MacAddict/MacHome CDs back around 1996. I just happen to want to pass it once more in more detail.

The Vahnatai Tokor-Te is willing to augment my Alien Blade. However, how can I afford to pay 27,000 gold if the limit is 25,000 gold?

Is this a non-fixable bug?

That's very interesting, I just tried both SNOWMAN and STATUE and they worked equally. I guess it makes a lot of sense; both answers sound very logical and I bet Jeff Vogel just wanted to make things easier for everyone. I still can't figure out the "HELLHOLE" question though ;)

I believe this has to do with intelligence. If your PC has low intelligence forget it. However, even at Level 20 intelligence, mine can miss sometimes, that's honestly moves you lose when you would do a juicy spell instead. If you registered, use the editor to help.

I happen to know two "easter eggs"

EAS TER EGG - coordinate

Also, Jeff Vogel made a mistake in one of the words you should ask to one character, this happens to be in Formello.

There is a little girl in the library named Alice. Ask her about "AMGE" instead of "MAGE".

I apologize for reviving this thread. I had no idea it was going to bring such controversy on the boards. Have I known before hand that it was going to cause so many problems I would have created a new "Test Of Mind" thread under my name. As a way of apology I am removing the original message I posted and may (or may not) include a future "Test Of Mind" thread, providing its not violating any rules of the boards.

According to the hint book, the MIST GLOBE has a random effect:

"Mist Glove - Random effect. Can Heal, increase your strength, or poison you severely".

I assume it means that all of them work that way. I used Pandora's Box to multiply them. However mine just seems to heal me all the time, so the meaning in the hint book might not be fully explained.
