I bought the official guide and it says to speak to Aidan in Wizards Folly near the Fishing Village for a quest. Problem is I can't find the guy. The directions in the guidebook are vague. I've been all over Wizards Folly and all around the Fishing Village. I just keep running into farmers and guards. Is this quest non-existent?

I noticed some other things about the guidebook that are out-of-date too like saying you can do a quest for necro chestplate. I can't find that NPC either or talk to Collector Hatcher (found both NPC's) for necro footwear who says he's not collecting anything.

But if anyone can give me better directions to find Aidan, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Nevermind my post. I found the guy. Yay!

hi all. i am having a n00btastic time playing this game. i've finally lvled up my w/mo to a double digit lvl. i'm kinda happy about that, but there's one problem: he sucks big-time. as i have just realized, i 've been trying to increase too many of my attributes; currently there are attribute points divided among healing prayers, protection prayers, strength, tactics, and swordsmanship. as a sword-wielding w/mo, what attributes should i be lvling up? also, it's been kind of hard finding a good sword. i'm currently using a 6-8 dmg short sword from way back at the beginning of the game. i'm not sure what stuff is good or what i need to trade to obtain a good sword. any help would be great thanx.

In a PvP match (arena), what is the number by your name?

Mo/R9 · Jun 17, 2005, 03:44 AM // 03:44

Where and how do you ascend? It seems that it isn't (as I previously thought) just getting to level 20, becuase in the latest update it mentions the following:

That hints at the fact that you can ascend before level 20, am I correct?

I'm assuming that it's to make it easier for your allies to target people (instead of typing out your enemy's names, you can just say 1, 4, 3 etc.).

once you get to the desert you have to do 3 missions and then fight your mirror to ascend. Just keep doing the missions and you will find it.

But the number is not by your opponents name: it's by you and your allies

Ketendra · Jun 17, 2005, 10:20 PM // 22:20

I dont know why they are there, but both sides have them, you only see the enemys numbers when they talk, both are listed 1, 2, 3, 4, ect depending on where they are in the list (top to bottom)

MadOnion · Jun 18, 2005, 12:07 AM // 00:07

I was just informed in a match that they represent the order you joined, which seems pointless to have that displayed...

Hi everyone...I'm just starting GW's after losing so many friends to it

I've been playing mainly Sorceress' or Priests in all my other online games
and this Fire Elementalist looks to be up my ally...Any suggestions on creating, developing or just making the most of her?

P.S. I think this has been the most I have ever researched a game before
actually playing it so I'm just about losing my mind with information hehe
I'd really appreciate any feed back, Thanx...

make the second proffession a monk....u have little defense so u need a lot of healing, besides rescueing your bodies.

mthegreatone · Jun 25, 2005, 05:27 PM // 17:27

quick question here: i just found a purple item. am i supposed to identify it in order to see stats or is it something you're supposed to see automatically?

Jun 25, 2005, 05:41 PM // 17:41

you need to ID it to see full stats if they arent showing up or if it's marked as "unidentified"

mthegreatone · Jun 25, 2005, 06:22 PM // 18:22

lol this is lame then. i recently found a purply brute sword with no stats on it other than possibly higher damage...is 9-11 high for a brute sword? anyway it's good that i found my first purple item
