I "jammed" the lock in the crypt that contains the Algamesh Amulet. I believe I just pounded it cause my thief was too weak to pick it, but now it says it's jammed and I can't get in. Does that mean that the amulet is lost forever or is there another way in or some kind of bypass???

Also, supposedly I need 500 gold to join a guild, but after identifying and repairing everything in my posession I have no money left to join. I don't want to use the money making methods suggested in the forum such as, make new character pool money, repeat. I want to join guilds for obvious reasons, so where can I make up the cash? or is ID'ing stuff a waste of time. Will my wiz or cleric ever have the ability to ID items?

Love to hear your suggestions.
Thanks

To gain money in Valeia go to the armory and enter the guild. Go to the special items icon (the center one, I think) and buy as many willow arrows +1 as you can afford. Exit to the main part of the armory and sell them. Keep doing this and you will be able to mass a bit of gold.

Try to get your strongest character to bash the door lock open!

Hope this helps!

Well, you have several options here -
1) Skip the quest - you do not need to do the Algamesh Amulet quest. Doing it gives you a potion which is effective against the Naga at the Serpent Temple but you can defeat her without the potion.
2) Revert the game or Reset the Adventures or Reload - you're still earlier enough in the game that starting over WITH your current characters might not be a bad option. They will have the opportunity to gain extra experience and since you have already invested in repairing and identifying items, you could skip doing so the second time and sell all the stuff for the money you want to join guilds.

Yes you will be able to eventually ID items yourself. YOu will need to reach 3rd GUILD level in the Temple or Magic guilds and learn Ancient Lore AND Artifacts. The higher the skill level in artifacts the more important magic items you will be able to successfully identify!

Hope that helps!!

(hehehe) Mark - our posts probably would have been the same time except that I got a call on the other line!
I just love it when we give a player "mass" help! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif

ok, thanks a lot, that was helpful...don't think I'll revert though...don't really want to start over

Wyv!
I find myself being paranoid when I write a message that is taking me too long to think about and write. Then I have to check my spelling, because I'm a rotten typist. By the time I'm done, I'm thinking, "Someone has probably scooped me and answered it already".

Also: Check when you kill the Highland Rogues. They often drop lockpicks (called "strange items" but they look like small lockpicks). Use one of them on the jammed door. Lockpicks or "Pry" or "Disarm Trap" are the only things that will work against a jammed door.

Not only that, but I've noticed when 3 people answer a question at once, each one has a different "take" on the answer, and all three answers are useful. I have yet to see a truly redundant answer. I tend to be very detail-oriented in mine (that's the Virgo in me), whereas others may take a broad-range view of the situation, or only address one particular thing they know about.

So post, post away! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

I think I did the same thing so long ago and I believe you can buy a level 2 or 3 lock pick in Valeria and it will open the jammed lock.
