My problem is I can't clear castle harmondale. I can't go downstairs (don't find the stairs). might be a bug. i have perception on master, nothing is red. I saw a picture of the castle(here in the forum somewhere) where the stairs are but there is nothing in my game.
I play the new mod. I have the german version of the game and installed the mod and the patch. any ideas ? sry for my bad english ^^

[Bimbasto]

To clean out the Castle is necessary to do so on 1. and 2. floor. To find the way just try to look around. May be something unusual...torches perhaps...

[jb4479]

I can't seem to get to the second floor in Castle Harmondale. Help, need hints please, found blue torch on 1st floor doesn't do anything.

jb4479: Have you tried leaving and coming back in, or loading a save game? Otherwise, do you have the most recent version of the mod, because it sounds like you're doing the right thing. :/

Also, has anyone been able to promote their Archers? When I first started the game, a conversation window with him popped up while I was next to the well outside the Inn in EI, though I don't think it would let me get the quest. Aside from that, I've checked all the buildings on the island and can't find him. Does anyone have any ideas?

Aside from that, many thanks to BDJ for making this mod. MM7's a favourite for me and my Dad, and I'm really enjoying the new aspects of the game. Pretty sure Dad will too, once he gets the game off me. ^_^

[Bimbasto]

To get promotion quests you have to fulfill Currier Guild quest at first. Exceptions are for Paladins and Thief.

[Akari T]

Odd, I completed all of those a while ago, and I found the Evenmorn key too.

Edit: Hmm, I just started a new game with the default party to see if I could find him on them (I couldn't, unless he only appears in the game after you're done with the Courier quests.) Btw, I did have a problem with my comp when I started the game that caused conversation boxes to pop up at random around EI, though I'm unsure if that problem is related to me not finding the guy, since I couldn't find him on the default party.

Tried reloading, tried leaving and coming back, no luck. Just downloaded the mod yesterday, so it's the newest one. Maybe there was someitem I needto first, like on EI maybe? I'll try and restart and see if that does it.

Zedd True Shot, resident of Emerald Island, provides Bow Expert Skill and issues the Warrior Mage Promotion. Seek him out on the EI.

jb4479: Hmm, okay. Hope it works out for you.

Anyway, last night I flew around EI again since he's a resident, though I still didn't see him. I checked all the buildings (even the shops), flew around the goblin area and up on the hill, ran in and out of the temple, and checked all the people wandering around (though most were killed by the dragonflies.) Could there be anything else I'm missing?

[Bimbasto]

@Akari T,
If you are talking about Zedd True Shot...
Did you check ALL doors? May be you could take a look at the doors from other side of the shops. Weapon shop or Armor shop for example...

[Akari T]

OMG, I never even realised that door was there. o.o;; Thanks a lot, though.

Does anybody know anything about Count Zero and the lost 'ONEs". I found him on Emerald Isle and didn't understand what he wanted me to do.

So far, I'm having a wonderful time with this great work of art! (Yeah, I consider mods as works of art to be admired, enjoyed, and appreciated for their craftspersonship and creativity.)

My highest compliments to BDJ!

Edit P.S. - Never mind on my Count Zero question - BDJ answered it over at his blog - it turns out Count Zero is an 'in joke' referring to a programmer colleague of his, binary code ('ones' and 'zeroes'), and a suggestion to report bugs at the blog.

Oh, and thanks for the tip, Bimbasto.

[Bimbasto]

Just have discussion with him, if you want and nothing more at the moment. He will appear in certain moment and will have a message for your party. Later in the game.

[BMJedi]

I need help, please. I can't figure out how to get the stables in Harmondale activated.

The stablemaster says something about lighting signal fires to set up an ambush for Grognar and the goblins who will appear and attack, but I don't know where to find any 'signal fires'.

Also, I thought they might be hiding in the White Cliff caves, but when I go there I find that it is blocked off with a 'too hard' message. What's up with that?

Can anyone help? Thanks.

[BMJedi]

Thanks, BDJ, that's the best map-based guide source I've ever seen! I know right where those signal fires are, now.

I'd like to pose an idea to the community:
Could someone with the right organisational/writing skills do up a brief FAQ/Walkthrough/Guide to BDJ's new mod?

I wouldn't ask BDJ himself to do it, since he's already spent 400+ hours doing the programming, and I don't think I myself am knowledgeable or skilled enough to do one.

But I was thinking maybe there's somebody out there with enough skill and experience to where the project might be easy for them.

It doesn't have to be anything complex - maybe just an addendum to one of the already-written guides out there like the one BDJ linked above.

What I'm especially interested in is lists and tables of the new locations of expert/master/grandmaster teachers, the new locations of promotion quest givers, a walkthrough of the new essential and side quests, and a list of FAQs like how to get back to Emerald Island, and the locations of the new teleporters and teleporter keys.

I find that I keep getting stuck on little stuff, and I miss being able to go straight to the web and looking up the info I need without bothering anybody by mucking up a message board like I'm doing now. <grin>

Wel, to be fair, you just need to use your brain. The game keeps track of the ones you meet, you can just read it back where they are...

[Bimbasto]

Would like to support darknessfood. This Mod could (and I think should) be played without guide. You are playing almost new game, a lot new things should be discowered. This is the challenge. If walkthrough guide will be provided, it will spoil the game, I think.

Yeah, i always thought it was lame to use cheats/walktroughs for the first time playing, it ruins the fun. When starting the second time it could be handy, you did it by yourself once so it's no big deal. Just play the game and enjoy it the way it is...
