Got a piece of the crown but the guardian Acoatl is insanely tough. I am barely even able to hurt him. I have even tried taking along all the companions and all the arcane and divine caster trying to reduce resistances and remove protective spells. I tried fighting him then running to away to basement then coming back but that that also did nothing.



Open it up in the toolset, hoping he might have some type of damage vulnerability and by god....

level 20 monk with an insane list of powerful spells (multiple dismisal so summons are worthless, storm of vengance, immunity to energy, descturcion, powerword stun&kill, plus a bunch more). With the monk he has adamantine attack so stone skin is useless to soak some damage from his great fist fury attacks. He has 40 rounds of 50% concealment, Damage reduction 10/magic and a spell resistance of 30.

His character sheet has another damage reduction of 15/evil (I really haven't found an evil damage weapons)

And ontop of all the above he also has a skin. I couldn't find that to see what other bonuses he gets.



So unless I am just suppose to try to fight him and hope I last long enough for Kvas to loots the crown piece then run away you may want to rework him a bit.

Well, ok, he's not supposed to be quite that tough. Fortunately I happen to be in that module right now, but sneaking is always a valid strategy. You only need the item from the chest after all.

Here's a better version. DR5 evil, most special abilities removed, and only 5 monk levels

I'm currently uploading a rollup of all the bugs fixed so far, which anyone can get from my wiki. That's most but not all of them. My brother in law is unexpectedly coming to town from Europe next week, so I wanted to make sure to get something out before that. It seems like Shaughn78 has bravely guinea pig-ed his way through most of the campaign, so this will make smoother sailing for the rest of you trying this out.

I'm currently re-uploading the modules, somehow a merchant conversation got busted in Neverwinter, and this would make one of the path's uncompletable. About an hour more. Then you can be all :devil:

Wrapped up Alira's quest and I'm back to the Hellish Wolf Bilge. I am still using older modules, so hopefully I won't repost to many things that you have already fixed.



The Elven gardens is another high memory location. I experienced very choppy character movement and camera movement lag. I question the number of different trees and number of seeds used in that area. I will admit when I'm not moving the area looks incredible.

i posted on the wiki that the pasha and magistrate were women, as well as some graphic glitches. and you said it was fixed with the oct 2 update. well i was running off the oct 2 files, so is there maybe a left over file from other versions that i should delete to clear that problem?

thanks!!

Oh, and one other thing. Mutasin's clerical domains are Healing and Sun? that doesn't seem to fit the whole evil thing that well. just my 2 cents.

The graphic glitches appear to be a NPC with out an appearance, possibly a bad line or a moved line in the appearance 2da. These NPCs all have cloaks on and without a skeleton the cloak shoots out from there location and attaches to a NPC, generally the player. I have reported the missing appearances for the thugs and bandits in Pros and the Arcane Merchant in Muzad. 

I am having issues this AM. I wrote up the first one hit submit and nothing happen. Refreshed the screen a couple of times and nothing so I reposted and bam, both are here. So, commence the deleting  Dunniteowl.

I'll be more careful this time. I think that same delay created a conundrum of deletion. You know, time hates a conundrum.

Before I post this, the thread says I made the last post an hour ago, showing my avatar and everything. The only post from an hour ago is dno's post.



Those humans got the null human appearance somehow. I fixed it in the October 2nd update, though apparently I missed some, but if you'd already been to those areas the broken appearances would have already been loaded and the October 2 update wouldn't help. The al-Qasr female appearances were related, but obviously not the null human. The only way to change them after the fact that I know of is in the toolset.



Since my brother in law is here now until next Monday, I won't be able to work much on things, but I'll try to poke my head in.

Just wrapped up the NW overland map, (except for the scimitar hills). Those scimitar guys are nasty. Will come back to that one later. Is there suppose to be anything in Waldeim? Just a couple of merchants was all I could find.

No, Waldheim is meant to be a place to sell of some loot. You could be carrying around a good amount since Murann is all the way in a corner of the NW map. There's another merchant stop in the Plains of Purple Dust all the way at the eastern edge of Faerun.



Yes, the Scimitar Hills people are nasty, some of the toughest enemies in the game that I'd think a player could reasonably defeat (there are two "killer dungeons", on in SE Faerun that you're warned about when you enter, and one you can access via your stronghold) . The Scimitar hills people's abilities are entirely legit though, they are just high level (the typical one is a fighter/WM level with 15 levels iirc) with decent magic items equipped. It very much fits the lore of that area being where the Shadovar are, and the Shadovar as very nasty. In the very late 3E/early 4E timeline, they came back from the plane of shadow with a single city and took over several large kingdoms including Sembia.

I enjoyed the scimitar hills and look forward to going back after a little bit.



Question with frozen pyramid. I am on the second level but can't find a way to continue. There is a secret door across from a lit up statue (nonusable) but the door is set to static. Am I missing something? If so throw me a subtle hint.

That door shouldn't have been static. You can jump to wp_pyr_l3, which is the first waypoint on the next and last level.

After you're done in there, you'll have to jump to wp_pyr_in to get out.

Heading off for the 4th piece of the crown in the desert. After that I will have just about wrapped up the NW, SW & NE overland maps. My party is @ lvl 15, just need to find some more merchants. I still have a pile of stuff and have drained the gold from most of the merchants so far.

The al-Qasr piece should be a pushover at your level.



The merchants with the most gold are generally in Ekkathys. There is one merchant when you go through the door in the stronghold basement. He also has the best items you can buy ingame, the collectible class stuff.

The third one is in the other estate in the farmlands, by the one that has the injured guy. It's unmarked but the area name is the name of the thrid oligarch family.

Stuck in Intisar. Can't find a way to unlock door and continue on.

The genasi are irrelevant to getting through the door, they're too busy fighting each other and can't control the central chamber. You need to use the central chamber of that level, where there are some puzzles you can solve via skills or party members. These will unlock the door.

Do I feel lame. I was blinded by killing gensai that I never paid any attention to the middle, biggest room.



Posted a few more things. At some point a bunch of NPC tunred hostile. Probaly in bewteen now and my last post of the wiki.



Hostile NPCs:

The imps & Canahsaael at the G. Demon stronghold before I attack the O demon stronghold,

Tellner and malhinion @ my stronghold hostile.



The only thing I can think of causing this is I killed 2 of the 3 families outside of my stronghold. They wouldn't support me so I made an example of them....
