And Catapults: I'm planning on bringing a reserve stack of them on my Archer game just from Gremlin fights--that way I'll have two siege weapons for the 2x damage.

Off-topic: There's no place in the game called The Elven Underground, is there? It appears in the Scanner reports, but no place fits that description.

Yeah, it's pretty easy, isn't it ? I mean I didn't even have to kill anything for it and am still but lvl 4. I could even take it right now as I have 21 Magic Runes but I lack 2 Might Runes /facepalm
I was lucky with 5 Magic Runes for the Trial Of Will tho. Usually I only get 3 or 4.

Not sure about The Elven Underground. But I wonder the names of the Scanner all the time. For instance who is "Captain Crez Keller" ? It says he sells stuff on his ship but it's not Captain Black Eye

Yes, that's true about the Scanner. I think it picks up all the content that the devs were going to include, but ran out of time for. Like the actor "Pandemonic" and the ????? Dragon Tooth Necklace business.

On the Trial of Will, I wonder if what dialogue you choose matters for your reward, or if it is class-based, or even random. I got 7 Magic Runes with my current Warrior (!), and I know i chose the most brazen dialogue option about wanting the hardest test. I even reloaded my game to make sure I didn't miscount my runes, I was so shocked at getting those 7! I had a Warrior on Impossible able to learn spells in Greenwort! (I also got an insane 6-7 Magic runes in Greenwort, too. It was one of the reasons I chose my current game.)

Oh, and Captain Crez Keller is in the game: he's the captain of the sunken ship The Moon Ghost that you have to use the Power of Water scroll to raise from under the ocean, in the northeast corner of the Eastern Island of Freedom.

Ah, okay. Thanks. I can only buy stuff from him after I killed the Kraken, right ? I can't remember that guy for the life of me right now.

[Helios]

You have to talk to the guy in the east of the Western Islands that sells you the key to Bartholomew Bart's sarcophagus and ask him about something like strange stories--that unlocks the Moon Ghost dialogue with the Mage in the tower in the northwest island of the Eastern Islands. And I was wrong. The Moon Ghost is in the far northwest of the Eastern Islands, not ne. You can buy from the Moon Ghost any time after getting the Power of Water scroll from the guy in the tower, but it sinks again if you leave the map, and you have to buy another scroll from the tower.

Seems like I mix that up with the Kraken quest then. Thanks for clearing up. It's been a year since I last played the Islands ^^
