nichg (0 posts) Nov-18-01, 05:05 PM (Pacific) "Weird (bug?) with Book of Portals" When you learn the set portal spell, you automatically get return to portal if you do it with a level up. I used Book of Portals instead for my mage, and she only learned set portal (which is sort of useless alone ) Is this a bug, is there a book of returning, what? I can wait to learn the spell for a little while (I want to set the portal in Arnika, but I can complete another area first), but still, it'd be nice to know if I can save the pick somehow.

"Not a bug" And it is not useless .... you just have to know where you want your portal set (and know you can't come back to it till you pick the corresponding spell or find the matching book (if there is one).

Question: if you have two casters who know both spells, can you set multiple portals? This seems essential with the long distances between quest spots. - John Prepare Yourself for the Ultimate in Fantasy Games   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

sgoldj (Guest) (0 posts) Nov-19-01, 07:32 AM (Pacific) 3. "RE: I've found both books..." Two Portals: Yes. The each caster can set his/her own portal and then the caster's return will take the party to that portal.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

kiwi (0 posts) Nov-19-01, 08:03 AM (Pacific) 4. "RE: I've found both books..." So a caster can set one portale where ever he/she would like? And if a new place is better, set a new portal any time... the old one is no longer there?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Llevram (5413 posts) Nov-19-01, 09:36 PM (Pacific) 11. "You got it." It is even nice enough to warn you if you are replacing a previously set portal. My advice, once you cast one, save a game with that characters name and the location, or write it down some where. I was continually forgetting where each of my casters had their portals set.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

nichg (Guest) (0 posts) Nov-19-01, 12:42 PM (Pacific) 5. "RE: I've found both books... (minispoiler requested)" Can you tell me the specific locations if you remember? I think I got the one in Trynton, but the only 'hogar in the wilderness' I can think of is the one on the road to Arnika up north near the 'northern wilderness', and it just dropped a tusk. I've scouted out the nearby cave already, but am I missing something? NichG   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

analander (0 posts) Nov-19-01, 12:51 PM (Pacific) 6. "Hope you know Summon Elemental...." That hogar is a wuss compared to this charger. That's why when in Trynton, and you see hogars coded yellow (neutral disposition) - it's best not to stand in their way! It's quite a trek (exp. considering these waypoint voyages are what you're trying to avoid with that spell), but there's a good set of pipes there too. You're also in luck because it's one of the few locations I bothered to annotate on my maps - check it out in my sig link... - John Prepare Yourself for the Ultimate in Fantasy Games   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

nichg (Guest) (0 posts) Nov-19-01, 03:06 PM (Pacific) 9. "RE: Hope you know Summon Elemental...." Actually, I found it just now Great, now I'll just level my bishop up once and if he can't learn it then, I'll break down and give it to my mage Anyways, I didn't get summon elemental yet, but I've seen it in action by a pair of Cultists who keep zapping my party. Thats a nasty spell to fight against, and why do they call minor elementals: level 4 (Puny)?! NichG   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

nichg (0 posts) Nov-19-01, 10:00 PM (Pacific) 12. "RE: You would rather fight ..." What I meant is that the difficulty rating is really.. well, way off, wrong, etc I'd say that a single lesser earth\fire\etc is the equivalent of a fight with a Hogar or Battering Hogar at least, maybe more like a Hogar with support from a Juggernaut or two (as if they ever come in sets that small ) NichG   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
