Resting in the Crossrads Guardhouse - and some other hints
Posted: Sun May 23, 2021 5:06 pm
Hello everyone! This is my first post but I've read the forum for a while and played the game quite a bit.
While reading the forum I saw that most people, just like me, were wondering how you could rest in the Crossroads Guardhouse. They say only Feygard's friends are allowed, but no matter how much you help Feygard, you are still not allowed. Will it require some quest added in the future? Well, no! Most likely you have blown your chance before even reaching the Guardhouse. Here is how:
All in all, I think this Night Visit quest is a beginner's trap, where the consequences of an early action will affect the whole game. It's probably best not to take it, it pays some 700 GP and 1500 XP, wich is nice but not so big deal. Or maybe take it after you have finished all of Umar's quests - but even than it might not be a good idea upsetting the thieves, maybe they'll have more quests in future updates. On the other hand one can live without resting at the GH but it's a little annoying still.
Maybe in a future update the quest shoul be a) removed; b) appear only later; c) give a much stronger warning that your actions will have consequences.
Some other hints:
Resting in Loneford:
Cheap out the "A young merchant" quest:
The Undead's Necklace
This artefact doesn't get much love in this forum. Everyone is talking about legendary items for wich you have to farm for days, murder 5-7000 monsters or more, like the Ring of Lesser Shadow and the Rapier of Lifesteal. Well, why farm for the RoL, when you get this nice necklace for just killing one Lich? An it does the same. Oh, but it is curesd, you say, it drains your health? Well, no biggie, it can be negated by getting two levels of the Regeneration ability. It's a very nice ability to have anyway. And then it is the best artefact to be had when you need to get trough lots of low level monsters in quick succession, such as while traveling and "hunting" the wildlife and in the Green Maze. Becouse no matter how high your BC and your Dmg Resistance is, some critters manage to hit you once in a while and they slowly chip away your health. But this necklace restores it quickly. You rarely need to use any health item.
