    Feel free to add your own unknown things to the list, and maybe together we will solve the last of Arcanum's mysteries.

    S, things I STILL don't know about Arcanum:

    1)The strange man in Ashbury who stands at the corner of the town hall/mayor's residence/whatever the building where you discuss the statue thing is called. This man has a distinct dialog (he asks you to "just call him friend), and wears Chameleon robes. Is he good for anything or is he just part of the scenery?

    2)Syntia Boggs (the woman from the Isle of Despair) offers you her locket/medallion/whatever as a "payment" for saving her. I generally don't take it (I can't be so mean to a woman as to take away her only posession which doesn't even seem to be worth much). But perhaps it does have value? Did anyone notice it giving any kind of benefits when worn?

    3)Can Medical Arachnid heal scars?

    4) What's the deal with the Eye of Kraka-Tur?

    5) Is there a schematic of Tempered Shield? (I always steal it with tech chars but I want more fore Magnus and Jayna) (and others if any)

    I can answer yours, Phadesh, I think

    Have it with you when you talk to Kraka-Tur, and you'll find out.

    Nope, its a unique item.

    If you killed Pollock he will be grateful to you....on the other hand, if you're part of his gang...

    I don't think it does anything really....but its OK to be mean in arcanum...

    1.) When playing, is there anywhere you can make yourself like a house to store things and such.
    2.) And if you do can you place things on the ground without them dissappearing.
    3.) Does anybody still play online?
    4.) If so you can msg me ^_^ ive been lookin everwhere for people that accully play >.> :/ :thumbup:

    Store items in the Stillwater Inn or the Black Root Inn. Both sites are easy to access and the item wont disappear. You don't need to pay the manager to store items he just won't let you sleep.

    Just finished the game, and man, it feels a little sad finally being done with it (i've taken my time, yes).

    So here's the question:

    What happens if you do the quest where you are supposed to find a fellow and tell him that the prince of Cumbria, Maximillan, is still alive at the isle of despair? Never found the fellow.

    Hello to everyone btw.

    Xzbyte: Two people playing arcanum in norway (!), figured it was only me.

    It just changes the end sequence a little bit. It's no biggie.

    Written small, a spoiler:

    You won't find the guy himself. His dotter, Lianna Del Par, lives in Dernholm. In your nex game, I suggest you speak with her before going to the Isle of Despair.
