As you proceed […]

These quests allow entry to the Stygian Abyss but will not be offered to characters that have completed Garamon’s quest.

There is no need to mark the writ as a quest item, double clicking him will open the quest dialogue and recognise the item. You could, at this point, return to Egwexem for your reward, but […]

This too offers succor to the fallen adventurer, though only at 10 minute intervals, don’t die a second time! It does not, however, offer the chance to tithe or […]

When a plant first reaches its full-grown state, it will sprout its full foliage, no longer contained within the plant bowl. At this stage of the plant’s growth, it will begin to produce pollen. You can view your plant’s current Pollination State in the Plant Resources Menu. The plant will eventually self-pollinate if left unattended, and then begin to produce seeds. Seeds produced by a self-pollinated plant will grow up into an exact duplicate of the “parent” plant. Once a plant reaches the pollen-producing stage at days 7 – 9 of the cycle, its pollen may be gathered by the […]
