Jade,
  The stone cubes are for the end of the quest. You don't need all

four but it helps to have them all since you get a lot of EXP if you do. And

as for the riddle, I won't tell you the answer. Instead I'll give you a

hint. You'll notice that in that riddle there is a link. Clicking it just

may help you out...

Why

yes as a matter of fact you can delete a character. After logging in, just

click Play as you normally would. Then there are three buttons, Resume

current game, restart character and delete. And yes I'm pretty sure you can

create another character...well, I know Adventurers' Guild members can. But

anyway, you can always delete your character and create another one and, to

be honest, with stats like yours I would. If you can, you want your stats to

be "above average" at the very least, so if you don't like the stats you

get, click the Reroll button at the very bottom. Once I got a Melee rating

that was over thirty (although I wouldn't count on that if I were you).

I've currently got a Melee rating of 57, and I'm an Accomplished in

Weaponry and Weaponry: Slashing. I'm also a Journeyman in the powers of

Gating, Illusion and Fortification. But you may not be able to start with

magical potential depending on your Aura, Spirit and Mind scores. I think

they have to be at least "above average" (higher than twelve or so) for that

to happen.

Just

started another character, have done all (I think?) except finishing the

knight's quest, the Murk, and Stoneback Hill...and yet my MR is already 56

and my SP is 67. Have lots of good stuff. And I found out what happens at

the end of the alley in Penekarn Lane...

I

have never managed to even get a Trosk horn even though I finally did manage

to slay one a few days ago, so I wouldn't know either where to sell one or

how much they'd go for. But yes I have been to Kyul-Thanor. The enemies

there are quite a bit tougher than in Sryth...of course I didn't have the

Hale Blade at the time so maybe when I head back there things should be a

bit easier.

Nope.

I

personally would have rerolled until I was able to start with magic, but at

least your Melee rating is better. BTW, you don't have to copy everything

word for word from the site. That was a bit of a pain to read through last

time.

yes.

Those knights, particularly the Knights of the Dragon and Gryphon, are

murder. Heck, even with an MR of 39 they'll give you a run for your money.

But you're going to want a higher MR if you hope to complete the Caves of

Westwold or get Gralgarak's armor from his tomb without acruing many Marks

of Death. Those undead goblins are tough. And if you're even thinking of

tackling the Thane's tournament or Stoneback Hill...Well you definitely

want a Melee Rating of at least fifty for the tournament. Stoneback Hill you

could actually do with an MR of 45 or so if you were lucky. I know you

probably won't get that at the start, but the higher your MR is at the

start the less you'll have to work to get it to where you'll eventually

want it and the less trouble you'll have in the beginning. And the higher

your stats are in general, Body, Might and Agility and stuff, the less

experience you'll have to spend when you level up your skills. And like I

said, next time you post your stats, please, just give us a general idea.

Don't post it word for word. Like I said that was kind of a pain to read

through. I personally would also reroll until your character is able to

start with magical potential. That way you'll be able to use more of the

stuff you find like the tattered scroll from Stoneback Hill, which will give

you a random magical ability. Besides, then you can join the Grey Circle,

although that won't be till you complete Stoneback Hill. I'm just viging

you advice from personal experience. If your stats are too low you're going

to have major trouble. Even the supremely easy task of fighting off those

robbers from the tavern in Hawklor will be hell if you don't have decent

stats.

I

remember I had an MR of 49 when I tackled Gralgarak last time and he still

whipped me like three times. And how do you know they level up? Did you talk

to the GM?

Answer 1: They level up because your weapon influences how strong they are.

(TIP: Unequip the Hale Blade before fighting, say, the undead thing from

SBH, then re-equip it right before you go into battle for easy

victory).
Answer 2: Give the Goblin War Plans to the Thane in Talinis

(there should be an option there once you've finished SBH if I recall

correctly).
Brian, with all the quests done for ya, what's your MR and SP?

I've got a character who, when finished, will have 61MR, 84SP.

I

have five or six icons actually, four that are boring and two that are neat

"Icon of Tangling Vines" and "Icon of Biting Frost". Hope you didn't miss

the rings from Kyul-Thanar, and I hope you subdued that guy in Graldok

instead of killing him.
Only some enemies level up. The seven knights do,

Gralgarak's minions will, as will he himself. The mini-boss type enemies in

SBH and the Vorin-thull will, too. Most, however, don't.

If

you have an offensive magic skill like destruction or telekinesesis or even

divination, and three blessings handy, you might be able to take him.
The

Ring of Dark Valour is what I was talking about. There is also the

Warrior's Ring in the cave where you have to go rescue the armour-smith.

It's a decent ring. But to be fair, Iliak or whatever his name is, he's

very very tough, so don't worry if you can't kill him or whatnot.

Also...drop all the crud you don't want in your house. I sold the two

weapons from SBH to Brinivor for a tidy profit.

I

never noticed that problem, to be honest. Maybe it was a bug that got

fixed?
Also, I agree about the amulet thingamajig. I never took it to begin

with because I was an idiot and simply missed it. But when I realized that

it did no good and would probably only have hurt me in the end, I was

relieved I didn't.
Question, if anyone knows: if I find expensive stuff

that's not weapons (say, a Ring of Agility, the Seven Knights' stuff I

don't want, the pouch of emeralds)...can I sell any of it for more than a

hundred gold each?
