After half an hour, I had counted up pretty high. Way higher than what seemed to be the reasonable answer. But I guess I'll just keep plugging, meh....

Newbie Help (Start Here) / Re: Quest help
« on: November 22, 2007, 10:09:31 pm »not all quests are easy and some take a lot of thought. Also we dont give quest solutions on the forum so there is not much help to be gotten here.
That's just it -- this particular problem doesn't seem to need a lot of thought. I've already completed some fairly complex quests where I did have to think; I have no problem with that.
Target's question doesn't leave any room for interpretation, so I'm completely confused. And I know I'm not going to get an answer on the forum, but even a tiny nudge in the right direction would help.

OK, I feel like I'm missing something here. Doing "Kilas wants his abacus back" quest -- I will refer to Kilas's comrade as "Target."
I've tried answering Target's question a number of different ways. His question seems very straightforward and seems to want a very specific answer, but nothing I've tried gives a positive response. I've read and re-read both Kilas's and Target's words numerous times and spent almost a half hour trying to answer Target's question. What am I doing wrong?

Hi all, just started playing this week. If these questions have already been answered, I apologize. However, I did search, just so's ya knows. 
1. Is there a penalty of any kind for discarding a quest? E.g., will the NPC who assigned me the quest be less likely to deal with me in the future?
2. My most recent character started with a skill level of 3 in mining, but I can't dig up a thing. I get "You can't find a good place to dig" everywhere I try, and I've tried a LOT of places for all the listed minerals, including the most commonly recommended place for new miners. Even with a >0 skill in anything, do I still need to train/practice that skill before it kicks in?
3. Walking the map becomes tedious after a while, especially when you know exactly where you're going and what you're doing. I've seen mention of portals, but having found none save for the one in Death Realm I assume they're not implemented yet. I've also seen references to animals (pets?) and was wondering: Is there a faster way to travel, like buying a pet and riding it? If not, will there be faster travel methods one day? One frustrating experience for me was in the Bronze Doors area -- I got lost and even once I re-oriented myself, it took me almost an hour just to get out (run, rest, repeat).
4. What is the accepted protocol for taking on multiple quests? Acceptable, not recommended, illegal? I like having multiple quests running because I can complete two or even three with minimal effort sometimes, if they all involve the same areas to visit. Is this OK?
5. What is the accepted protocol for spawn-camping (hovering near a mobile's respawn point to kill it repeatedly)? The reason I ask is because there was one creature in an area that I wanted to fight for practice, but another player hovered in that spot and attacked it on every respawn. This went on for half an hour, but I couldn't think of an RP way to ask him to let me have a turn. "This rogue seems to have many lives; may I try and take one of them?" Didn't seem right.
6. When will some new creatures be added?
7. Occasionally some of the textures (especially on buildings and plants; happens to me a lot in Ojaveda) display as this weird red-green checkerboard pattern. It'll show up even in places I already visited during a session which were fine previously. What causes this?
8. Other than leaving and fighting, is there anything significant to be discovered or done in Death Realm? Not asking for spoilers; just a "yes" or "no."
9. Finally, a silly question: if my character drinks a lot of beer, will his movement/actions be affected? I don't have enough trias to find out on my own.
Thanks and loving PS so far. Especially enjoying hanging out in places where others are congregated and observing the interactions.
