QUOTE(mirocu @ Nov 5 2014, 11:56 AM) Iīm not on the MQ so no, I havenīt. Strange that nothing happens when you click on those things, are you sure you stand close enough? Is there perhaps a hidden room visible on the map that you havenīt been in or a staircase you didnīt notice?
This is not part of the MQ, the Magnus Staff is an artifact quest. I did click on the thing up close, far away, side to side, up and down, you name it. It cannot be activated. I went on a mad search for a picture of Arena's Staff of Magnus (so I know what it's supposed to look like) but I can't find anything on Google or UESP, or anywhere else. The main thing that comes up is Skyrim's Staff of Magnus, of course. No hidden rooms, I did check the map. Renee 1 has a Remove Wall spell, so she even dug through the walls a bit looking for ... just anything she could find, but there's nothing. We may have to abandon this quest. It sucks because I got all excited. You know how it is in this game, right? You spend all this time trying to achieve something, and when you finally do, it's SO rewarding, so that's why it feels really lame to have to possibly abandon this one.

QUOTE(mirocu @ Nov 6 2014, 12:12 PM) Where did you go to get the artifact quest, Renee?
It started way up in Skyrim actually. Some NPC gave us a rumor, and this rumor took us to Elsweyr, where we found a map in one of the major dungeons. The map said the Staff of Magnus (not the Staff of Chaos) is found in a major dungeon in Black Marsh. But I went on UESP, and this site said we can only find the staff in Valenwood or Elsweyr. It does not mention Black Marsh at all, so maybe this quest is broken.

Only his quest is to find Warlockīs Ring, also in Black Marsh. Maybe heīll run into Renee... This is actually the first time Thor has been outside of Skyrim since his jail break. He first had to go to Morrowind to go through a five-level deep dungeon to find the map and right now heīs standing just inside the Black Marsh dungeon

Anyway, I just went on UESP, which says Warlock's Ring can be 'discovered' in Morrowind or Elsweyr. Not Black Marsh. Maybe they are talking about where the actual MAP is discovered though, you know? Not the artifact itself. By the way, isn't it neat traveling through different provinces? As primitive as this game is, I like the way each province has a different feel. We've only been in Skyrim, Elsweyr, and Black Marsh so far. I like visiting the dungeons, but also going through plenty of towns & villages, and also exploring the local (random) wilderness outside of towns.

Well, I found the map in Morrowind and it told me the ring was in a Black Marsh dungeon so thatīs all I have to go on. Iīll search it through and if I donīt find it at leastīheīs been to two more provinces, albeit heīs only seen the insides of dungeons Update: I did in fact find the Warlockīs Ring inside that Black Marsh dungeon! Goes to show you apparently cannot trust everything you read online, Renee! But can you trust this...? This post has been edited by mirocu: Nov 11 2014, 05:31 PM

Oh wow, so you DID get that ring? Was it inside a chest? Or was it inside that weird flaming thing pictured a few posts above? Renee 1 is not doing so well. She foiled yet another quest. This time she's in Black Marsh. The quest was: she needed to deliver something to a village in Black Marsh. Fair enough. The village was easy to locate, and she had 32 days to get this done. So she goes to the village. Takes 12 days. Wow, that was easy. She starts searching all over the place for her quest location (which is a shop called Adventurer's Merchandise or something such). She can't find the shop, so she asks an NPC. In the dialog option, there was no shop in this town called Adventurer's Merchandise. So we had a brainstorm. Are we even in the right town? *facepalm* turns out we weren't. There are two villages in Black Marsh with very similar names. I forget the name of the place, but it's easy to get them confused. Dangit. And it would have taken 25 days to get to the other place. 12 + 25 = 37, five days too long. Last I saw, she was on some other quest. One of those "my sword arm is hurt, I can't deliver this satchel across the street with all these dangerous enemies around (in broad daylight), can you deliver it for me?" quests. Congrads to Thor for finding the Warlock's Ring. This post has been edited by Renee Gade IV: Nov 16 2014, 01:54 PM

Like the map, it was inside a very snassy chest QUOTE(Renee Gade IV @ Nov 16 2014, 01:51 PM) Last I saw, she was on some other quest.

QUOTE(Renee Gade IV @ Nov 16 2014, 01:51 PM) Congrads to Thor for finding the Warlock's Ring. He sends his thanks But in fact he has no use of it so if Renee 1 wants it, tell her to go to Dunstad Grove

Yeah she's is doing the MQ. Got into it last night, gamed until 2:30 AM. She is now in Hammerfell, and Queen Blumbaka told RG1 to go to a lair called Stonekeep. RG1 got deep into this lair, and I got to the point that I was gaming for so long I couldn't see straight! Stonekeep seems to be designed for a lower-level character. It's full of goblins, wolves, rats, orcs, and a few lizardmen. These enemies are all walkover-material for my Level 12 Battlemage. She's barely using any magic, and has a mithril cutlass backed up by a silver mace, so it's mostly a huge a$$-kicking fest. You know what I realize? A lot of people say these early dungeons are tough, and in a way they certainly are, but in another way they're not so bad. As long as I cheat use the map. They're all based in a rectangular grid, which means each level has a sort of 'confinement'. I would say Oblivion's dungeons are actually harder sometimes, assuming no map / compass is used. The only thing tough about Arena's dungeons is that they're so massive sometimes. I'll bet Daggerfall is the same way: everything is based inside a huge rectangular grid. OTOH, I bet DF has some better traps, and the monsters will be harder to deal with, because I HAVE heard how DF's dungeons are the toughest. We shall see though. Anyways, Renee has to find some sort of stolen item for Queen Latifah Blumbaka, and once she brings this item to the queen, the queen will be able to discern some sort of map (something like this) and will then reveal where Fang Lair is!

QUOTE(mirocu @ Nov 30 2014, 10:35 AM) As for the dungeon itself, I use the standard labyrinth method of hugging either the left or the right wall and eventually you find the correct way Oh wow, that's an interesting technique. I sometimes use a 'radiant' system. Everything is either left or right. Enter dungeon, make a left, is there a door coming up on the left and the right? Choose the left one. Leave that room, go left. Passage dead-ends to turn around and go through the door that's now on your left... See what I mean? it's like the character is radiating through the dungeon, one passage at a time. Of course, there are plenty of times we are forced to improvise. Sometimes you gotta go right. Or left. \

I have fallen behind on updating this thread. RG1 found the first piece of the Main Quest staff a couple weeks ago. It was in Fang Lair, in a room guarded by a word-puzzle. I cheated on the word puzzle by going on a search engine and typing in its question. It went like this. Neither fish nor flesh .. Feather nor bone but still has fingers and thumbs of its ownThe answer (which we can type into the game's HUD) is After I cheated I realized that if there are any more word puzzles, I want to figure them out on my own. If I really think about it, I could have figured that answer. Anyway, so last night I was gaming Arena again, and we were Ice Fortress. Again, there was another word-puzzle, once we found the correct room to search. I touch your face I'm in your words I'm lack of space And beloved by birds...
What am I? This time, I guessed the answer right! Took me about a couple minutes of thinking, but it sure felt good to beat dis game just a little bit more.
