Gunshy Warrior Member # 4938	written Sunday, November 7 2004 02:08 Profile #0 It's too damn' tough for my guys and girls. I've done the slimes, the roaches and the troglo/giant quests. Any suggestions where I could go to level my guys up a bit, before I go back in there? Is it better to kill a few golems, go back out, recharge, go back in, etc.? Is that even practical? -------------------- "Keep both hands where I can see them" Posts: 52 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00

You'll need them. —Alorael, who also recommends using excessive caution when rounding corners. Running into hordes of golems who are inaccessibly located past laser barriers can be hazardous to your party's health. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
Gunshy Warrior Member # 4938	written Sunday, November 7 2004 09:41 Profile #3 Does that mean tiptoeing about in combat mode, hitting 'D' a lot and using physical ranged attacks whenever possible? Plus, every time one of my guys whacks one of those darn crystals on the first/ground floor, he/she takes about 60 of damage. Ouch.

The Waif Apprentice Member # 5140	written Sunday, November 7 2004 19:08 Profile #4 Invulnerability elixirs help a lot in dealing with the Golem Factory. But you can ignore the Golem Factory if you want to. You only need to complete either the slimes or the roaches, and the troglo-giants-tunnel barrier quest, and the Empress will give you permission to get inside Footracer Province for the endgame. written by Gunshy: Is it better to kill a few golems, go back out, recharge, go back in, etc.? Is that even practical? I'm told the dead monsters don't regenerate. So that should work.

My Quasimodo Shock Trooper Member # 2775	written Monday, November 8 2004 09:03 Profile Homepage #5 Do you have a cleric who knows mass healing, preferably at level 3? That helps a lot. Find level 3 of this spell downstairs from the NE corner of the giants cave. You need good rune reading ability. -------------------- "I can't give you brains," said the Wizard of Oz to the Scarecrow, "but I can give you a diploma." - L.

Rent-an-Ihrno Infiltrator Member # 3933	written Monday, November 8 2004 09:22 Profile #6 yeah, keep that rounding a corner and mass healing stuff in mind. i wouldnt recommend ignoring the factory, though. if you think the golems are tough, wait for footracer province. -------------------- OH MY GOD IT'S THE FUNKY ****!!!

muskie powers Apprentice Member # 4836	written Monday, November 8 2004 10:41 Profile #7 Have you gone on any of the legendary item quests? THese quests can help you level up considerably and get you items that'll improve your AP. Getting items that can increase your AP can help A LOT. Make sure you have the right weapons and items such as the mithril blade, black halberd and boots of speed. Also, try to make more knowledge brews to increase your skill points.

Gunshy Warrior Member # 4938	written Tuesday, November 9 2004 01:30 Profile #8 Well, I've been bustling about, scaring up every coin I can and buying up all the stocks of Invulnerability, Energy and herbs I can find. I've got Beastslayer and something else cool, plus Radiant Slith Spear. None of my armour is Blessed though. My cleric has Lv.3 Mass Healing, but it eats SP. I'll go looking for these legendary items - I've got the skinny on the Black Halberd, so I'll kick off with that. -------------------- "Keep both hands where I can see them" Posts: 52 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00
My Quasimodo Shock Trooper Member # 2775	written Tuesday, November 9 2004 11:19 Profile Homepage #9 As far as legendary quests go, I'd recommend going after Pachter's Plate Mail. It's a lot easier than the Black Halberd quest and you also get Arcane Shield at level 3 in another area of the dungeon. I believe you need to enter the library in Gale to learn the location of this dungeon, and to have it appear once you get there. Some dungeons don't become accessible until you have done some background research. -------------------- "I can't give you brains," said the Wizard of Oz to the Scarecrow, "but I can give you a diploma." - L.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, November 14 2004 07:49 Profile Homepage #12 There are only five artifact quests (the Ring of Endless Magery, Pachtar's Plate Mail, the Fury Crossbow, the Recipe for the Knowledge Brew, and the Black Halberd), but there are dozens of mini-quests and side-quests. The Golem Factory is hard no matter what, but it helps to know where you're going.

Gunshy Warrior Member # 4938	written Sunday, November 14 2004 23:54 Profile #13 The walk through is brilliant - it's just that my crew keep getting their clocks cleaned! They just aren't tough enough. I shall explore everywhere else and try things like the Knowledge Brew quest, in the hopes of acquiring a few more sp. -------------------- "Keep both hands where I can see them" Posts: 52 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00
