    • Relocate and Portal


      So, has anyone but RD and I found out how to get the tomes for both portal and relocate? I'm saying this only to tell you all that it is possible to get them both, but not how...and if you ask me I won't tell 😄

      My e-mail won't answer that question either (for probably about six months or so) and anyone who posts the answer on this web board ought to be ashamed of themselves. I don't know, MickyBIs, do you think Stark knows??

    • Well I thought that was pretty obvious. I did it as soon as I had access to them. I then sold the one that I felt was basically pointless.

      You'd be surprised at how many people don't find it obvious, including my beta testers... hehe. I found it very obvious(well, I did create it, but I thought it would be painfully obvious). Of course, I also grew up playing the old games like Bard's Tale and Wizardry, and this type of thing is common in games like that so it has become second nature to me.

      Out of morbid curiousity, which tome did you find pointless?

      I think I know - you need one to get the other, therefore he's already made a value judgement, and you can't sell it after it's used. (the tome disintergrates) 😄

      /me tries to stop himself from typing:How do I get both tomes?

      Just one question, can you get the second tome if you already used the first one?

      Do you need a certain item? Do you need to do a certain thing in the room with the tome before you leave? I already completed all 3 quests and I'm stumped. I'm still missing lots of items, so I thought that maybe you need a certain item to find it. I don't want to find out really fast, I just don't want to try to get it for hours only to find that I need a certain item to get it.

      EDIT:Nevermind. I found out how to get both as well. It is indeed painfully obvious. I won't post how to find it either.

      Relocate is for short-distance teleportation within a map; portal is for long-distance teleportation between maps.

      also, i hav no idea where do get evoke life (or wat it does).

      I neither, nor have I even heard any mention of it in-game. Is it another one of these things (like the insanely evil Ritual of Desecration) that we just have to stumble across?

      Evoke life is not in a quest, persay. It is however mentioned in one of the rumors, though not by name.

      And yes, RoD is very evil. But also has a purpose... Again, I refer you to the rumors. 🙂

      Incidentally, to change topic yet again, does Wizard of War just not wear off in the Guardian's chamber? I wandered around for about ten minutes after I killed the thing and remained a knight the entire time. (It would be really nice if you could come up with some way for the player to intentionally cancel the spell early... 😉 )

      It certainly should wear off. However, since the spell durations operate off of the synthetic timer that Straytoaster came up with, I had to artificially add it to every area. It is possible that I missed adding it to the Guardian's chamber. I'll look at the code when I get home tonight and let you know. If I missed it I'll roll it into the next update(which probably won't be out for a bit unless a major bug is found). In the mean time, if the Guardian's chamber isn't active, when you leave it you should be switched back.

      Well then, I shall put together the rumors I've heard right here, on the forum. There are only two I can think of that are unsolved: A, the missing knights in Berglum, and B, the traveler who fell into the big sand pit in the Plains of Endlesswind. I checked both, and came up with nothing. I talked to everyone in Berglum, and I looked for a pit of sand in the PoEW, and got nothing. Those are the right rumors, right?

      I don't recall off hand, but there are approximately 15 rumors(maybe a couple more or less, but around there).

      And no, those 2 rumors have nothing to do with Evoke Life.

    • Is the rumor about diligence in the vault referring to RoD? and is the one about the mage in a trance about evoke life? Also, is there anything in the sword that was shattered? Finally, (and off topic) I relocated myself to Gidolan keep but I cant mov when i am there. Is there anything there, and if not, why not?

      Edited to make more clear.

      If you've already found RoD then you will know if this rumor is for this spell or not. If you haven't found RoD then I'm not telling. 🙂

      Quote

      and is the one about the mage in a trance about evoke life?

      I don't recall off hand which rumor started out about the mage being in a trance. Why don't you follow it and see if it leads anywhere...

      Quote

      Also, is there anything in the sword that was shattered?

      No. At least, not unless a plug-in designer takes it up, or unless I take it up in a future project(a definite possibility if someone else doesn't use it first).

      Quote

      Finally, (and off topic) I relocated myself to Gidolan keep but I cant mov when i am there. Is there anything there, and if not, why not?

      Nothing there.

      Why not? Because Beenox chose not to make the keep accessible. My relocate spell allows you to get in there in a manner that previously had been unachievable. Therefore you are going to find a number of places that you can get into that you "shouldn't" be able to; some of benefit, some of disappointment. Gidolan keep is of the latter.

      (edit) Fixed a dropped bracket. Bad bracket! (/edit)

      There are 17 rumors (I think). Many of them appear to be false.

      can i hav 1 tiny hint to where to find evoke life.

      also, a few things with RoD. The guards on the towers and platforms stay alive. I know this is because they are animations not units, but it looks weird. Also, you should be able to go into the swordsmans guild because there is no guard to keep you out. I know these are all tiny things, but I just wanted to let Stark know for the next version of Spell Expander.
      Finally, another question. Is there anything in the rock giants over the mountain rumor.

      EDIT: Bad UBB (never used it before). I was putting extra spaces

    • As Stark said to the testers, "The rumors are just that, rumors" (paraphrased actually, but you know...) in other words, some are true and some are false. You have to figure out which is which.
