First thing to do is definitely hit those note boards, there's one in the pawn guild and one in the inn, both pretty easy to find. You can take a bunch of <kill x of y> quests that will stay active while you're running around and killin' and such.

There is also another board in the alehouse with escort quests.

Amazon sent me an email telling me my copy was shipping yesterday and today I got an email with some pre-order codes, does anyone know if the pre-order bonuses are any good?

It's just a few basic weapons that are pre-upgraded to level 2. The iron sword lasted me until level 13ish and I found a better weapon.

For the grimoire I think just head towards the encampent from gran soren and some bandits are attacking some dude you can save. Then you get a hint to head towards their hideout which is off towards the southwest area(really can't miss it) Maybe making it as your priority quest will show you where to go.

It shows several icons, which move around depending on where you are. :v:

I think the escort quests give you a significant affinity boost with the character you escort.

They're also the most nail-biting quests in the game. Mobs love to make a beeline straight for your escortee, which can make things really interesting really fast.

That's why I love Mystic Knight. Perilous Sigil. :allears:

So what's up with the Bradygames guide for this? Is it printed on solid gold leaf or something? I've been to three different brick and mortars here in town and everyone's sold out, and Amazon keeps pushing back my ship date.

Must have run out of stock, I ordered mine from Amazon on Saturday and got it yesterday (Tuesday).

So I've finally gotten around to Trials and Tribulations. I've got three innocent petitions so far, and I hear there's a soldier up at Windbluff who can be of help. Since I saved the family from being thrown out, they won't even give me guilty petitions. I did some escorts at the start of the game that I'm pretty sure put evidence in the guilty category, but I've read other people simply turning in the three petitions and the Windbluff witness and getting innocent. I've also heard you can get false affidavits from Reynald, but therein I have a problem: Reynald has left my game since I finished his quest.

Am I going to miss his affidavits or can I do it with the petitions and witness?

You should Reynard is gone? When I did the quest he was in the Encampment, you get quest markers for all of the affidavit locations.

In "farewell, Valmiro", does Valmiro only appear at certain times of the day or something? This is the first time I have had a problem with NPCs disappearing so far, like some people in the thread were talking about.

He stood in the same spot the entire time for me (at least, in the morning), which was up on that cliff overlooking the beach on the path up to Your House.

Then, I'm escorting Mercedes to the shadow fort when I come across a guy named Miles being held captive in a cage by a bunch of Harpies out in the canyon where you escort the Hydra head. I save him, he hops down, and says thanks. Hegives me nothing, the screen fades out, and then hes just gone. Was he supposed to give me something or does he do something for me in the future?

That's one of the infinite repeatable quests, like ambushes, any of the cages you come across can end up filled with a person and you can save them.

Is there a way to restore rotten consumables to their fresh state? I read that you could do that somehow with healing springs, because I cannot get any ambrosial steaks to drop from oxen but I've found a couple rotten ones here and there. But I can't combine the rotten meat or spring water with anything, and standing in the spring for a while didn't restore the meat. Did I just misread something? I really don't want to have to grind oxen here. I've given up on that ridiculous quest to get 5 kept sour ambrosial steaks, but I need the one for Farewell, Valmiro which I didn't do on my first run.

First use combine rotten item with an airtight flask, then combine the kept rotten item with a flask of spring water.

However... kept items don't rot, so you can't get kept sour ambrosial meat from this.

It's actually Frozen Holy Water you need, and the item shop in Gran Soren sells it in the postgame.

That's Unspeakable Meat + Frozen Holy Water = Ambrosial Meat x2.

Speaking of that, I have had like 26 beast-steaks sitting in storage (without using a airtight container) for weeks and weeks of in-game time waiting for them to go sour but they never have. Do they actually ever change?

Is the single weapon vendor in Gran Soren really the only place I can get weapon upgrades (short of finding them out in the wilderness) before the postgame and those Everfall vendors open up? I was hoping that the Duke's man, when he talked about giving me all aid and resources, would've started selling weapons but nope. So I guess I'll keep rocking the longbow I found from a goblin chest a couple of days ago.

There's a dude at Greatwall that sells gear and can do enhancements.

I just finished Witch Hunt. Is it over, or is there something I'm supposed to do to get Selene to go to your village? The cutscene made that out to be a big deal but all she wants is to make me more beer apparently.

e: Aaaaand making that beer maxed her affinity for me. But apparently that's broken anyway, so this should be funny later.

She'll show up there on her own.

They gain a lot of Strength when they level, so you can do a huge amount of sword damage. Intimate Gambit does good damage, stuns an enemy, and brings it towards you so you can follow up with some more strikes, or another Intimate Gambit.

Gouge, which you don't get until level 7 or something deals huge damage against climbable monsters, and Dire Gouge at level 9 deals even more.

I don't really use most of the night Augments, but I tear poo poo up with a sword and bow.

Yeah, I went back to assassin simply because of the dire gouge and climbing, those later monsters just love to knock you off your feet if you stand near them. They can't do that as well if I'm on their face.

Also, for (late-game monsters) wyrms and drakes, I found that you can climb on top of their neck and dire gouge through it to hit their heart :hist101:

(At least with an Ascalon).

Little weird having you and your pawn become one, based on the loading screen after the last cutscene, though.

Augh, gently caress Evil Eyes. I need six of their drat Evil Eyeballs to upgrade all of my Twilight/Dark gear to level three, and in spite of a 25% drop rate (purportedly), I have killed five of these fuckers (not counting the one from the Chamber of Confusion), and all I have is a metric poo poo tonne of Malecryst to show for it. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that ONE can only be found on ONE level of the Everfall.

Skip level three and go for dragonforging them with an online Ur-Dragon kill? It means you'll have to wait for a functioning grace period Ur-Dragon kill (and be on at the right time) but it's better than that grinding.

Everyone should try the game as max/min height characters. I imagine it leads to a lot of pretty funny cutscenes.

For example, when you first go back to Cassardis and that cult guy gives you his creepy speech, the camera cut to my 200cm warrior looking down with a disturbed expression on her face, the top of the guy's hood barely in frame.

There are a bunch of cutscenes that bug out by having a max height character, I've had a bunch where the camera was clipping through my character's back so I couldn't see anything.
