You need to build up your character first...

What race are you playing as? Here's a tip.. in the daytime, lockpick your way into the magic shop in Tarant. Look for the chest right behind the door.. don't fear the Beast.. it won't attack you. Now, lockpick the chest and grab yourselfloads of money, armor, and other sellable items.

Wait outside until morning, then repeat until you've got insane amounts of money..

Equip yourself with the best Armours money can buy. But don't get Sodd Mead Mug burdened.. his strikes will be crucial. Give him the most powerful weapon you have.. either a Sword of Sickness or a Pyrotechnic Axe.

Buy lots of healing and willpower. You might want to sink a point or two into Spot Trap, or just hang onto your Sense Hidden scrolls. A ressurect scroll or two would be useful. Give two to Virgil, and two for yourself. The potion Restore Life would work better if you were a Dwarf or Tech-inclined.

Head North, and keep on getting random encounters until you reach level fifteen.

Then, you can enter the Black Mountain Mines. Your biggest enemy are the Fire and Rock Elementals. It's important to hit them as hard and as fast as possible, as every attack degrades your weapon. Make sure to have two or three Balanced Swords(or your weapon of preference) in reserve.

Don't worry...

The story is wonderfully complex. Arcanum is "Pseudo-Fallout", remember? Things don't make sense at the beginning.. but at the end, it all becomes clear.

Arcanum has so many plot twists, double that of our old 1997 favorite... :D Heil Tim Cain!!

I just answered that question on the other forum. Yes, you do get to meet him, but not for a while :-)

"I just answered that question on the other forum. Yes, you do get to meet him, but not for a while"

Where? (which forum) I never met him (well, I can't remember ever meeting him.) I had Virgil run off after I slaughtered the dark elves saying he was going to Caladon. But I never met Virgil or Joachim anywhere. Did I miss something. (Scrap that last question, of course I did, hell I didn't even figure out how to get into the iron clans place. Oh well, I suppose I'll just start again.... Once I've finished mucking around with the editing stuff :) )
 
RE: where is elder johdim or whatever his name is?

Look around in Caladon's inn where Mr Razia is. Look at the bottom left cornor of that room and you'll see a trapdoor. go down. Kill thiefs. Resurrect Virgil. Joachim comes in. Only shitty thing is. Virgil can join you again but he dropped to level 25.

Actually, that's not the inn. It's the tavern. I think the name of the place is The Sobbing Onion.
 
RE: Thanks.

Thanks for that. I've been down their before but their was nothing so I never bothered looking again. (I like how you can just walk past the two guys in the room and go down their trapdoor). My only problem now is that as a full tech character I have to find a way to resurrect Virgil (if possible).

>Only shitty thing is.

I agree. My once level 46 Virgil is now a useless pile of junk. He's even gone and lost the great Tech armour and all the fancy stuff I had given him. War boots, dwarven gauntlets, decent weapon... everything :(

Oh, and I figured out (Read: Checked another forum) how to get into the Iron Clan. Apparently the "Strange Glass Object" in the Caladon Panarii temple is the key you need. You get some nice dwarven armour. If only I was a dwarf....

RE: Thanks.

By or find or make a restore life potion (or whatever it's called). You can get it from the herbalist in Caladon.

"By or find or make a restore life potion (or whatever it's called). You can get it from the herbalist in Caladon."

Yeah, did that. Totally forgot until I was looking through my schematics and found a ressurect chem. Then I had to buy a whole lot of Tech manuals so I could get enough skill to make it.

So I finally met Joachim. Then decided to shoot him and Virgil. I'm sorry. But me as a level 50? I can't level up now and so all the lower level retards that are following me can't either. Plus Virgil really pissed me off! I hate meeting characters right at the start that follow you ALL through the game. Well, that and his voice annoyed me.

RE: Thanks.

With the patch from the sierra site u can have u're party members gain levels even after u reach level 50, u should try it, i think the lastest one is the arcanum1074.

The Iron Clan requires a glass key , that u are given in the panarii temple after u visit the grave of nasrudin , find out the truth about his body being a fake than find out the truth about that marronox(i think that's his name) saint in rosenbourg
 
RE: black mountain clan

You followed the story line to tightly , u should try some secondary quests firsts to build up your character , i got to Tarant being around level 15 , u are to weak to go in to the BMC
mines so try to build up a few levels(try the Shrouded Hills mine quest ,gives a kick ass sword and a lot of XP , the elven ruins quest , the BlackRoot Taxes , etc)
