-
- That I can answer, simply because VI follows V for experience advancement
- from what I've seen. It works in factors of 2, like this:
- Level 1 0-99
- Level 2 100-199
- Level 3 200-399
- Level 4 400-799
- Level 5 800-1599
- Level 6 1600-3199
- Level 7 3200-6399
- Level 8 6400-9999
-
- As for the list of the cheater's menu and flag lists, can't help you there,
- though I have figured out a lot of the item #s if you are interested. Drop me
- an email and I'll send you a list.

-
- The rest of the silver tablet is with the Pirate's treasure trove, which you
- can find by solving the Pirate's map quest. Once you complete the map, and
- follow it, you'll find the pirate caves (not the buccaneer caves, different
- place), and at the end of those caves is a large storehouse of treasure,
- including the silver tablet.

-
- This happens when you are near a fight that is going on, even though it may
- not be on screen. Not everything out there always fights against you, some
- things fight other things, best example is the intersection near Skara Brae,
- you can almost always find Mongbats fighting a group of fighters and
- swashbucklers.

-
- Places to buy reagents are Skara Brae, Cove, Nicodemus (in the Deep Forest,
- north of Lord British's castle, just north of the Serpent Spine mountains), at
- the Lycaeum, and Zoltan (as you found out). By the way, Zoltan is a gypsy, so
- he wanders from town to town, along the King's way (connects Trinsic to Paws to
- Empath Abbey to Yew to Britain).

-
- Have to meditate at one of the shrines, having the mantra and rune for it.
- To meditate at it, of course, you have to have freed it from the gargoyles and
- the force field that surrounds the moonstone. The shrine you pick to meditate
- at reflects which of your stats go up (based on the combination of the virtue
- from Truth, Love, and Courage).
-
- For example, the Shrine of Spirituality will get you +1 on each stat, the
- shrine of Humility will give you no stat addition, Sacrifice will gain +1 on
- Dex and Str, etc. If you pick a shrine that is only one stat (like
- Compassion), it will raise that one stat +3. :)
-
- Enjoy!
