- I have been playing W7 for about 2 weeks. I have some questions that
- need help. My party started out with a faerie monk, a faerie bard, a faerie
- valkyrie, a dracon alchemist, an elf mage, and a felpur samurai.
-
- I have spent several hours rolling these, and all my charcters had from 18
- to 27 bonus points, and good (15+) karma. I have gotten to gorn castle,
- but the gorn king chest was empty. I can't make much progress. I entered
- the armory, but most doors are locked. I also visted munkharama, got
- to the chest, but no further. I go to the T'rang city,
- and agreed to their assignment, but since then was convinced that alliance
- with the Umpani is more justified. Since I did not have the 8000 gold to pay
- the store master, I started looking around, got to the headquarters, and
- after some experimenting, found a way to kill all the Umpani troopers. This
- was beneficial, since I found that I gain a lot of exp points for every
- battle. So I started changing proffesions, one charcter at a time.
-
- Since each battle with the Umpani troopers yields so 20-50,000 exp, the
- changed charcter advances very quickly to about the 8th level. This is great
- since I quicly amassed a lot of skills, as well as spells (converted the mage
- to a bard, eg, and getting up to 100 taumaturgy).
-
- However, there are several questions I need to ask.
-
- First, is killing all the Umpani guards in headquarters detrimental?
- (assuming I want to kill the T'rang Queen)
-
- Can I still aquire the firearms skill after the General dies?
- Should I go back (I have the game saved before I started blasting off
- the Umpani troopers)
- Second, does the race affect anything other than the basic character stats?
-
- How does a faerie bard use music? There is no instrument. An elf bard gets
- a poet's lute, but others?
-
- Can you change alliances without injury?
-
- How do you open the gate at the first dungeon, the one below new city, where
- the fountain is? I got to old city and found two chests, but is this all?
- I thought I would get to that gate from the old city, but no luck.
- I understand a couple of the maps are neat old city. Is it worth while
- to search the forests?
-
- I did find a few keys. Does one need a specific key to open a specific door
- or does one key fits some doors, and you have to decide which one to use it
- on?
-
- Finally, can you get a better map than the tiny squere you see with either
- the mapping kit or wizards eye? I don't seem to see a difference between
- casting wizard's eye and using the kit. Is there one?
-
- Oh, and anther yet, except for the mapping kit and the Gorn Castle, does
- one need to search all the forests?
-
- Thanks
