Hi Syd, Did you drink from the big fountains in Ravenshore and Shadowspire? After you drink from the fountains, they should be available too. I had a little trouble getting the one in Ravenshore to show up. We just kept drinking and finally it worked.
Kay

Hi Kay - I've been drinking from every well I can find and so far am not having luck getting Ravenshore and Garotte Gorge to show up on Town Portal.

I started to kill the dragon hunters and their pets are attacking me. If I kill them does this mean that the quest is broken?

Hi Syd,
You will have to set up beacons later in Garotte Gorge, Murmurwoods, and Rust. You should be able to use Town Portal to get to Ravenshore, Alvar, Shadowspire, Blood drop and Balthazar Lair. I just kept moving around the fountain there in Ravenshore and letting everyone drink while I kept checking the Town Portal map and finally it showed up.

I think you have to kill the pets too because they turn againt you as soon as you start killing the dragon slayers. I made the Alliance with the Dragon Hunters and the pets were still friendly when the other dragons turned against me so I'm not sure about the quest. I ended up having to kill all the dragons and the dragon hunters there in Garotte Gorge. VHL will probably know since she made the Alliance with the dragons.
Kay

I allied with the dragons & they still attacked me while I was killing the dragon hunters. I don't think I hit a dragon by mistake, but I guess it's possible. Since it's not an essential quest, I gave up on it.

I'm on my way to sink the Regnan fleet. I have 2 dragons & can get the third one soon.

Barb

Hi,

Well I don't have my Town Portal yet....darn...and can't even find it in the shops yet but will keep looking.

That is exactly what I was doing yesterday...trying to kill the Dragon Hunters and (you guessed it) the Dragons also attacked so ran out of there to heal. I will have to go back and run when necessary until we get them all.

It seems I broke my get Eclipse Shield quest because I didn't take Dyson with me right away and had him wait at the Adventurer's Inn and I don't want to play it over from way back so...Oh well.

I was lucky on the Fire Potions being there. He had all 3 available on that visit so lucked out. I was then able to give the rest of the potions to the people in Ironsand. You need potions for 6 houses.

I also cleared out Baltaziers Lair(spelling?) so now have that for more shops to buy stuff in. Since I already have the axe he wanted I can now go to Dagger Wound Island for authentication of the axe and get him to join the alliance

Still have to go and find the dragon egg and so much more to do.

I tried to visit the dragon in Shadowspire but he didn't want to go with us yet. I may just keep the one I have already and get him stronger. He has master already and we can fly so that helps.

As for the storing stuff with the other people in The Adventurer's Inn...when you have a lot of people then you have a lot of inventory space to store stuff in. I beleive that it is the safest there. I went to a MM8 site and it told me there about the eclipce quest bug and also about the reset chests in Ravenshore bug so I don't trust the chests or the banks either. Since I save a lot I keep my money with me until I have to uplevel or get promoted that is.

I also went to the treasure chests and cleaned them out in Ravage Roaming (flying and invisible) and that sure added to my money. They will reset so check back now and then.

I better start making some progress with my party, lol

Hi,

Well finally got all of the Dragon Hunters and that includes the ones in the Stronghold or Castle. Boy some really good chests in there too.

Doing the above got my Dragon to Grandmaster level hehe.
You have to kill all of the Dragon Hunters for the Dragon promotion.
The egg is for the alliance quest.

We also got the Dragon egg so are on our way to get the Dragons to join the alliance.

1 down (Minotaurs) and 2 to go (Necromancers & Dragons) on the alliance.

We now have Town Portal and boy its easier to get around and a lot faster and not to mention doesn’t cost you any food to travel.

Now need Lloyd’s Beacon but first I need to promote to Grandmaster for that and need to go to the planes for those promotions.

Well onward we go.

Hi all,
VHL, I waited until much later to get the shield and didn't have Dyson with me either, so maybe your quest isn't broken unless you've alreay opened the chest that it should be in.
Finally got the 4 hearts from the planes and just going around finishing up things before we go through the Crystal.

I'm having fun with the dark magic spells since this is the first time I've used them. Took awhile to get use to some of them. Kept killing myself at first with the dragon breath spell until I learned to not use it while we are up close. Even when your party is using the bows, you can still be too close. It sure does more damage than any of the other spells right now. The spell uses a lot of mana, but I just set up a beacon and go back and forth to Blood Drop where my Necromancer can heal for 10 gold.

Also waiting until June to find the Unicorn King and get the key.
Kay

Hi,

I love the Dark Spells too.

I used the Armageddon yesterday and to watch everything just get thrown way up into the air is something else.

I have used it in Murmurwoods because once I went in all the way in the Temple of the Sun the rest of the town turned against me. I had to use the usual way to get rid of the ones walking around because the spell didn’t work on them or they are immune to it.

You have to remember to be in full health before you use it though because it will hurt you some. It probably depends on how high your health points are.

I have also used it in Shadowspire because I have to see when the town resets so I can get the alliance quest going. I went in all the way down and forced my way into the last area and that seemed to trigger all the doors to be open so was able to get Eclipse Shield…yeah. The door to the guy that joins for the alliance of course was locked so hope the reset of the town will work to set things back to normal so I can talk to him.

I guess there is a way around that bug after all.

Its nice not to have to worry about money once you clean out a few chests and sell a few things and not to mention the big treasure in Ravage Roaming. We have been going around and collecting spells for when we can learn them and up leveling in the meantime.

We have also been playing Acromgage and have all but Regna Island done.

I remember about using the Fireball spell from the other Might & Magic games and you do get hurt if you are to close to walls or whatever.

Well my people’s (the ones waiting in the Adventurer’s Inn) inventories are getting filled up with potions made and ingredients collected so when I have an Alchemy Master or Grandmaster I can experiment with mixing. I have 2 Experts and they can mix regular potions together but can’t make the black potions yet. They can make potion like Haste or Shield or Remove Curse and so on. Once you have made any potion the recipe will appear in your journal.

Well back we go for more adventure.

Hi,

Well made it to Regna Island yesterday and finished the last Tavern in playing the Acromage game and was on my way back to Ravenshore to collect my reward for playing and had a BIG surprise. It seems that the Pirates decided to visit***that was their last mistake***. Now my town looks like a ghost town but we made it through. ***now they will get theirs when we get back***.

It seems even though the town of Shawdowspire still has bodies laying around the Necromancer's Guild did reset and when I went to see the guy to join our alliance I got the cut scene so all went well.

Hi all,
You did good VHL, when the Pirates followed me back, my party wasn't strong enough to fight them all so I had to go back to a save. Didn't know I could use the spell, Armageddon and get rid of them. I'm learning though! I love those dark magic spells.

We got the key from the Unicorn King and visited the Wasps nest. Went back to Ravage Roaming and got the treasures from those 6 chest again. Thanks VHL for that tip. We have plenty of gold now.
We are now going through the Crystal.
Kay

I finished the game this morning. What are you all going to play next?

Hi,

You can't get rid of any ememies with Armageddon only town people get killed.

I tried in murmurwoods but those town people didn't get killed by the spell and they were after me so had to kill them the regular way. In Shadowspire I only did that so I could tell when the town reset so I could talk to the guy in the Necromancer's Guild but the guild reset only and not the town.

I was able to get the Necromancer's Guild to join the alliance.

I still have to go around and find the Oblisks first before I try to get the unicorn King. I have found a few of the Oblisks but not all of them yet.

Doing the Acromage quest sure did pay off a really good amount and got a really really good sword out of the deal.

Well ready to go into the stone circle in murmurwoods and clear out that place and next will be the Cyclopse Larder in Ironsand.

Hi Barb, You started late and still beat us all. I'm almost finished, not too much more to do. I'm not sure yet what I'm going to play next.

Thanks VHL, I think I have the spell straight now. I haven't used it yet except to see what it would do in Garotte Gorge.

We have released 2 of the Lords from prison. Still have 2 more to go. Sure did a lot of falling while climbing those steps in one of the places.
Kay

Hi,

Well the spell didn't work on the dragon hunters either and had to kill the regular way. They are not that strong now that we are up in levels though. Since we sided with the dragons they keep coming after us but its not a problem.

Cleaned out the stone circle but doesn't seem to be any use for the crown we found there. Wonder what its for. The guy that mentions it doesn't recongnize that we even have it.

Got the Korbu remains but still have to find the coffin for promotion quest.

Well we need to get the coffin and then sink the fleet and find all Oblisks and and....Hmm.

Man, Barb you flew through the game - Congrats on completing it. I'm still way, way behind. I think my little group is hanging out in Ravenshore right now. Can't remember why we're there however. I think we're selling more Naga hides My dragon is a Great Wyrm - we killed all the dragon hunters but I didn't go inside the stronghold VHL- guess I should if there's good stuff hidden in there. I still have lots of quests to finish up. I tried to get into the Necromancers Lab in Shadowspire and that lasted about two minutes - I was toast in a heartbeat. I obviously need stronger spells to tackle that place.

I found a funny bug - somehow I wound up with two Whistlebane swords (or whatever that sword's name is that you get when you kill the dragon slayer that carried it). I had killed her/him earlier in the game (one of my spells went off accidentially) and got the sword before I knew what it was. I equipped my knight with it and she'd been using it. By the time I got the quest from the head dragon to kill all the dragon hunters, the area had reset and there was that dragon slayer again. I killed her/him again and voila another sword. So I gave one to the head dragon and kept the other one for myself - it's a pretty cool sword I might add.

Hi,

Way to go Barb. The more we play these games the faster we get in completing quests and on finishing the game.

Yes you can get more then one the way you did it Syd and also try the seer in Ravenshore in the North East area for when you loose an item (on quests that is) and he will give you another one.

Well have been playing hooky from this game for a few days but will get back real soon.

I've played the game several times, so I do go through it fast. Have you all played Oblivion? I just got the expansion, Shivering Isles, & I started a new game of Oblivion. It's a good game.

One of the best new games I've played is Dark Messiah of Might & Magic. It has no connection to the M&Ms we've all played, but I think it's a great game. It's an action-RPG. And if anyone wants to play M&M9, I'll play along.

Barb

Hi,

Well I still have Oblivion installed and have to get back to it since I have 3 players going.

One of my players I have already gone through Shivering Isles and Knights of Nine but not the other 2 players.

As for Dark Messiah I had gotten it way back and it didn't work right on my computer (also I couldn't stay alive long enough to get anywhere) so I returned it and got my money back.

The only reason I got my money back is because when I was buying it I was not sure it would work and the guy told me that he would give my my money back if that was the case. You can not get your money back for PC games otherwise. I was lucky there because I would have been stuck with a game I can't play.

Not sure about MM9 but will think about it....maybe. Still have to finish MM8. We just got the cannon ball and will clear the Island on top first before sinking the fleet.

Hi Magic, Dark Messiah is not an easy game, but there is a difficulty option. I really enjoyed it.

BTW, once you sink the Regnan fleet, you can get the 3rd dragon, Duroth the Eternal. He is really awesome.

I don't know if I want to continue Oblivion. The first Fighters Guild quest is messed up. Maybe I'll just go on to Shivering Isles.

Let me know about M&M9.
Barb

Hi all,
I finished the game and learned so much more this time.
Barb, I'm going to try out more dragons the next time I play it. Only used one this time.

Would have loved trying out Oblivion but was afraid my computer couldn't run it, so I didn't buy it.
Kay

Hi,

Well still working on MM8 and will try to get my Grandmaster in Water magic so I can have Lloyd's Beacon for both my people.

Have just been going around and trying to uplevel and get promoted for now.

In which order do I put the ingredients to make a fire resistance potion? Since I know that you have to use 2 red, 1 blue and 3 yellow ingredients.

Hi,

Here is the list for making formulas at gamesover.com.

This list is for MM7 but I don't think that they changed the formulas between games. I use this list and it works.

I don't have anyone at Master yet to make sure it works but the ones at Expert work so I would have to think the rest will also.

Potion formula list and level for making them.

http://gamesover.com/cheats/m&m7.txt

For fire Resistance you have to mix:

1. Yellow + Green to make Harden Items first.
2. Orange + Red to make Haste next.

Then you put together the Harden Items + Haste and you have Fire Resistance Potion.

Hope this helps.

Darn, I have to wait until my Necromancer is master in Alchemy

Which level is recommended before going for the Troll Tomb?
