Walkthrough

1 – Fang

When you approach Fang (the bear), he’ll automatically join your party. Then the nearby hunter will warn you off and claim Fang’s pelt. Since Fang is in your party, you might as well try to save him (although he might kill the hunter on his own). A high enough speech or barter rating can get you the bear, or you can simply kill the hunter for him. If you save Fang you’ll receive 50 experience.


2 – Sir Esteban

When you talk to Sir Esteban, he’ll tell you that he’s guarding the Crossroads against three dangers — wasps, goblins, and thieves. You can agree to remove each of the three dangers in the area, but watch out! When you agree to deal with the goblins, a goblin war party will attack. Once you remove the dangers, you’ll receive 600 experience and 100 gold for the wasps; 700 experience, 150 gold, 45 karma, and a long bow of carnage for the goblins; and 700 experience, 150 gold, and 45 karma for the thieves. Also, once you deal with the goblins, Sir Esteban will offer to buy blood bracers from you at (roughly) double their regular price. Sir Esteban’s tasks are a part of the Knights Templar initiation quests, but anybody can complete them.


3 – Alvaro the Merchant

If your karma is high enough, Alvaro will offer to show you his special stock. Since Alvaro sells everything and is in a convenient location, he’s a shopkeeper you should visit frequently.


4 – Wasps


5 – Goblins


6 – Thieves

You’ll have a couple options for how to deal with Ramon the Laughing Bandit and the other thieves. There are a few ways to talk them into leaving (350 exp), or you can just kill them (~200 experience). You can also recognize that Ramon is a demokin (50 experience).


7 – Blue Crystal

Big blue crystals like this one are teleporters. They can take you to any location shown in the world map. But be warned: they can also draw you off course and send you to an ethereal location where you’ll have to face creatures spawned to be challenging for your level.
