I’m sending you my heart, from this end of the world to the other, wishing to bring you a little comfort… But knowing that the worst is yet to come. Please say hello to your brother for me.

PS: When you’re back in Norstria, we’re gonna take a walk near the Poets’ sanctuary. I’m sure we’ll find there what we’re looking for.”

Tip: Recommends Higrann’s Cache for Small Uncut Elementary Hearts. Finds them in Tarsinith Laboratory in Giant Plains. (Explore at (46, 269).)

Welcome to the current end-game area. Prepare to face overwhelming creatures.

Other Questions
What are Recognitions for?
Bypasses the skill and land check for specific quests. Found no other uses…yet.

Which is easiest to reach 20 reputation with?
From easiest to hardest: Soriason < Jotungar << Vinnerson < Caleron.

- Soriason: Some combat. Clears dungeons by fleeing enough times, if necessary. Completed every check with sufficient Archeology or Leadership.
- Jotungar: Minimal combat. Includes some rough checks.
- Vinnerson: Two trips into the Lower Depths (one for Rowan, one for a quest). May struggle with 60 Forest. Involves gathering items too.
- Caleron: Requires wandering around Lower Depths. Requires 60 Snow. Demands high skill checks after the initial quests.

Which is easiest to reach 40 reputation with?
From easiest to hardest: Caleron < Vinnerson < Soriason << Jotungar. Judged largely on tedium.

- Caleron: Brings you to 30 reputation from quests alone, not including skill check extras. Acquires Criminal Pacts very easily from Lower Depths’s entrance.
- Vinnerson: Drops Ancestral Dice from Halmvik commerce constantly. Appears while grabbing Soriason’s reputation items too.
- Soriason: Takes a while to gather from runic artifact digging and/or Luptuntar Rune cooldowns.
- Jotungar: Noted a 21% drop rate on Albino Wyverns. Might earn 25 reputation from quests. Needs 150 Wyvern Blood, then. Be prepared to kill 714 Albino Wyverns in Lower Depths. Hates farming it. Drops little else worthwhile too.

Where can you level (land skill)?
Snow: Forbidden Gardens (55) in Starfield, random encounters on Hydra Island (60), and Wreck of the Dracorek (65) in Jotun Forest.

Forest: Lamberg Forest Society (55) in Forest of the Last Assault, Aifaran’s Laboratory (overworld, 55) in Starfield, Hunters' House (65) in Jotun Forest, and Woodland Embassy (70) in Jotun Forest.

Mountain: Den’s Doors (33) in Giant Plains, Beast’s Nest (50) in Shortblades Mountains, wandering around Cape End-of-the-World (50), and Jotungar Elite Center (75) in Dragons’ Jaw.

Sea: Departure to Lowenson Island (20, from Jotungar’s questline) from Noroft Port, Departure to Frederica’s Home (25, from Soriason’s questline), Departure to Hydra Island (25) at Haven of the Lords in Cape End-of-the-World, and Snake Creek (25) on Hydra Island.

Hills: Luxuriant Estate (40) in Hills of the Seven Mirrors, random encounters in Dragons’ Jaw, Doctor Fulgarson’s University (60) on Hydra Island, and Felgorn Peak (65) in Dragons’ Jaw.

Urban: Bolgatur Fortress (38) in Giant Plains, various tasks in Halmvik (low to mid 40s), Lower Depths (58 and recommended), Gilfaniel's Laboratory (58) in Jotun Forest, and Aifaran's Laboratory (58) in Starfield. Do not attempt to level at the 70 Urban location in Lower Depths. Encounters nothing random there.

Cave: Mysterious Tunnel (68) in the Lower Depths. Never fail a Cave check again.

Swamp: Ofikimon’s Territory (40) in Howling Swamp, Tarasquan Doors (57), wandering around Tarasquan (58), and B4 in Anderversan Woods (63).

What are good companions besides Cerrydwen, Yraen, Rowan, Gaspard, and Boarserker?
- Norstrian Mountain Goat (from Taming): Covers Mountain and Snow.

- Young Lord (from Mansion): Good Urban and stellar Leadership. Comes with solid Commerce and Spying too. Requires non-trivial Defiance, unfortunately. Consider Sister-in-Arms for Urban and Wheedler for Commerce/Leadership/Spying otherwise.

- Explorer (tier two Searching): For Sea.

Where are all of the locations?
Map. Includes Tarasquan locations. Shows locations from quests, including both Rale Caleron’s Estate and Jeniva Vinnerson’s Estate, but not one revealed from Eufelburg (10 Icelandus and 20 Catoblepas Meat).

Alternatively, this map. Looks much snazzier. Should be more complete too.

Where are the legendary companions, Runic Potion workshop, and/or Rune Tracing workshop?
Land Requirements: 50 Mountain, 45 Urban, 25 Sea, and 60 Snow.

Explore for Haven of the Lords near (151, 297) in Cape End-of-the-World. Accept “Sirens Are Just Tales”. (Do not worry about completing it.) Ride the boat. Explore at (130, 311) on Hydra Island for Doctor Fulgarson’s University.

Image

Cost for Eternal Hiker: 6500 Foggy Pearls and 5000 gold.
Cost for one of [Glutomole, Marid, or Emerust]: 5000 Foggy Pearls and 3500 gold.

Runic Kitchen: 5 Archeology, 5 Herbalism, 2 Concoction Strength, 2 Runic Strength.

Discovered a skill check in the middle of nowhere. What does it do?
Yields some random items. Finds Old Currency sometimes. Some locations (but likely not all):

(141, 242): 50 Hills + 75 Archeology.
(20, 338): 60 Snow + 75 Exploration.
(152, 298): 50 Mountain + 50 Archeology. (Nothing)
(153, 292): 50 Mountain + 30 Exploration. (Tracing: Rune: Ethe.)
(54, 297): 42 Snow + 20 Metascience. (One Worn Stone Ancient Tablet and two Uncut Dragon Tears.)

(130, 250): 50 Hills + 10 Metascience. (One Old Currency, one Grizzly Claw, and three Foggy Pearls.)

Cannot confirm whether or not they reappear.

Where are the protosensors?
Costs five hundred Foggy Pearls per protosensor.

Snow: The Forbidden Gardens in Starfield. 55 Snow + 35 Metascience.
Forest: Heart of Jotun in Jotun Forest. 60 Forest + 35 Metascience.

Why did you shift the Rowen to the 4th place? Recruiting her early would allow one to level up her skills while the hero is doing the quests.

Difficulty curve. Struggles with Rowan’s high Urban checks and possibly Lower Depths monsters. Creates a difficult impression of Norstria. Delays progression, consequently. Clears Soriason without tough skill checks or defeating rough monsters. Ditto for Jotungar. Involves leveling land skills, but nothing intense.

Alternatively:
Soriason path: 41 Urban, 45 Forest, 50 Snow, 25 Sea, 48 Leadership, 45 Exploration, and 40 Archeology.
Rowan: 58 Urban, 48 Leadership, 44 Archeology, 38 Exploration, and Lower Depths monsters (likely with little healing).
(Note: Offers other options, of course. Preferred these.)

Which sounds easier? Forbids Meticulousness potions on Rowan's 44 Archeology additionally.

(Bonus: Unlocks Metascience in Soriason. Recruits Boarserker less painfully. Considers it overkill. Helps, though.)

Probably leveled Rowan on Eliandel Eaters, also.

Note1: Received two Dead Rune: Psy for the check one’s 44 Archeology option.

I just received two Dead rune: Mag and two Dead rune: Mag Intense from this.

This must be put in Caleron quest line, where the camps are ... or in "Other Questions" -> "Discovered a skill check in the middle of nowhere. What does it do?" :roll:

Recalls rewards similar to those listed. (Mentioned it in the old French forums. Described it as disappointing.) Do not bother.

When doing Jotunger... Make sure you do the good one (less loot)... That is what gives you the active mag 70 rune and 2 60 pho.. Because no one decided to give details.
"Gold? Gold is no good out here" You think you are some kind of Jedi?? Only resources, no resources, no trade NO DEAL.
