1. So, I decided to pandora's box POG to speed up the inevitable (leveling up, sorry I am weak and don't have patience), and I got up to lv 32 and a lot of the numbers are very big, they even go beyond the alloted space in some of the diagrams, is this normal? Are you not supposed to actually reach levels this high in the normal game?

2. I don't have photoshop, is there another good program I could use to open the 7 meg jpg world map? IE and Appleworks don't seem to work for some reason.

3. How do you use the shop plugin? It gives you data files and looks like you replace it with the normal folder, but neither that or putting it in the plug folder works.

4. Any good places to get guides or walkthrus for this? Besides the item guides on the add-ons page. It'd be great if there were a site like Slayer's Cythera page for this game.

Thanks in advance.

1- I am guessing you mean your expierience number. They do go out of the box often (think mine did lvl 25), but I really don't think level 32 would be possible (it is the highest) unless you spend a few decades on it.

2- I beleive there is an online form, I dont have a link handy though, I'll search

3- Put each of the seperate names inside the plug in folder (there are about 8 inside of the shops plug which act as individual plugs, put the ones you want to access in, or all of them),

4- But of course, (url="http://"http://stark.evula.net/pogwalkthrough.htm")http://stark.evula.n...walkthrough.htm(/url)

1. As SlaVitiCkus has implied, not many players have reached level 32. After several years of playing, the most any of my characters has achieved is level 27. At that point all the areas have been conquered and it's just going around bashing Sea Giants. Most of my characters have done everything there is to do by level 25. You're missing all the fun of getting there. If you must cheat, start at about level 5 and the rest will come along as you play the game.

It's also worth noting that gaining levels too early can actually be detrimental, as the number of HP you gain when leveling up is a function of your vitality, and increasing your vitality doesn't affect the HP you already have. Thus, you will have many more HP if you increase your vitality as much as you can before you gain too many levels.

Of course, as long as you're cheating with Pandora's Box, you could quite easily give yourself thousands of HP, superhuman stats, and invincible armor as well... but I wouldn't recommend it. It would take much of the fun out of the game.

Thnks again, this helps a lot. And I won't cheat to level this time (I usually don't cheat in RPGs at all, but I was lazy with thie one).

I have used pandora's box, but not encountered that it is a cheat or levels me up, just that it does random spells. Am I missing something?

Pandora's Box has two PoG related manifestations. One is a spell in Stark's Spells Expander. The other is cheat utility (or some sort of cheat thing. I've never used it).

You must be talking about the spell pandora's box in SE. There is a program called Pandora's Box that allows you to hack into save files and change them around which was what Skye Sabre must have been using. If you're wondering how I know about this, well... Heh heh. (cough)did what Skye Sabre did once(/cough)

Thanks, that makes sense now. Pandora's box is one of my favorite spells in spells expander. It's nice to cast when things are quiet just to see what happens.
