How do I get Stillwater on my map?...boxed in nowhere to go

How do i get Stillwater on my map? and How do I get BACK on the Isle of Despair?

That priest at the Panaari Temple in Tarant won`t tell me how to get to Stillwater, and neither will the Dodge melee instructor in Blackroot who does tell me the master dodge guy is in Stillwater.

I got to the Isle of Despair, the captain shuttles me off when I go to see him after that stupid dwarf tells me his men stole my ship and killed my captain. The captain doesnt even ask me whetehr I want to stay or go. now when I see the captain in Ashbury he tells me come see me when you need to go somewhere. I need to go NOW asshole!

Then I try to buy a ship in Blackroot, and it`s never finished. Can I just kill someone for their ship? Anyway I have no quests left to do, the game has me boxed in theres nothing left to do. The only quests I have left are like Isle of despair related or the mayor of Blackroot wants me to find bandits outside the city but I don`t know where they are.

 

Sorry, you DON'T get back to the Isle of Despair once you have been there. Even if you get a ship (the Blackroot one will be finished eventually). However, to give you a little tip, the dwarf on the Isle should have told you something about the location of the Wheel Clan.

 

He did tell me where the wheel clan is, but I need special glasses to see the entrance. i went there without glasses and saw nothing.

 

u can get the glasses made in a shop in ashbury (just near the docks).. u can get custom made glasses from him.. all u need is a kathorn crystal (u can get them in the black mountain mines.. green coloured crystal).. and i cant quit remember how much, mayb 1000 coins.. once u get the glasses, go to the wheel clan mines and stand in the box of stones

hope this helps!

 

That helps a lot thanks. But I already sold all the crystals and gems I got from Black mountain mines a while ago, way before I got to the Isle of despair. Is there any way to get the glasses now? Kill someone for them maybe.

 

If I'm correct, there are two cathorn crystals in a locked chest right before Godmunds hall of traps in the Black Mountain Clan. If you didn't open it, you can return there, smash it open and get them. If you did, well....Every magickal/mystic/arcane chest is a potential place with cathorn crystals. If you didn't visit the Ancient Maze, the ruins of a ancient temple or a place like that, I reccomend you do. You may also check in every shopkeeper's inventory, perhaps the cathorn crystals did stay in their goods for sale.

 

Hey thanks thats a good idea.

 

I actuaally went back to the Black mountain mines did a tour found nothing, then killed the crazy dwarf just in case he had one on him. I`ll check the shops.

 

yeh shops are ur best bet i recon

 

This sucks. I went to every place that sells jewels or crystals in Tarant, Blackpool and ashbury and didn`t find any Kathorn crystal. I went back and covered every inch of the black mountain mines. No kathorn crystal anywhere. I sometimes sell gems to the magic shops in tarant they weren`t there either. That means that my entire game is scrapped becuase of a bug. I had a Lvl 28 dwarf and now the character and save is worthless, nowhere to go nothing to do. All those hours down the toilet

This is a really crappy glitch in the game: you get the Kathorn crystal after you complete the mines, you`re loaded up with stuff that you now cant just carry on indefinitely so you sell it in tarant, before or after you talk to Gilbert Bates, doesn`t matter because up to now NO ONE tells you the crystal is important and you can`t sell it along with the other gems, then you go to Isle of despair and find out the only way to continue the game (and yes it is the only way to continue, i talked to EVERYONE and have access to all quests possible at this point) is to make glasses out of these crystals which NO ONE ever told you you can`t sell until way after the fact. NO ONE holds on to gems, diamonds or jewels in inventory, you sell them. Now I`m worried if I play this game again another stupid unavoidable glitch will just ruin the entire game experience.

Now I just deleted my lvl 28 dwarf technologist/melee fighter I spent over a week playing because theres nothing I can do with him. Someone should make a patch for this, now I wish I hadn`t deleted my character...Anyone have a good reason why i shoudn`t play frisbee with my Arcanum play disk?

 

You shouldn't have deleted that save. You could've modified a shopkeeper's inventory to make them carry it, or you could've gotten Thorvald from the isle of despair to join you, with his pair of glasses.
And the reason for you to not play frisbee with the disc is that the aerodynamics of CD's don't allow for prolonged flight, as well as needing to be thrown perfectly or they pitch in midair, so they'll end up landing sideways.

 

you have a large number of places where you can find the damn kathorn crystal. any kind location such as the ancient temple, that maze near dernholm, etc.

of course no one tells you that the crystals are important because you can find them in whole bunch of places, and it would even be reasonable to convince Throvald at least to give his pair to you, if not travel with you.

it's your fault for ruining your own game, don't blame other people. and if you took 5 minutes to search through the internet, you could've probably found topics on forums or some walkthroughs where the cyrstals are mentioned.

 

Whinge whinge whinge!!!

who`s blaming people. No one told me it`s important: referring to NPCs.

 

Secondly I`m off the Isle of despair and I`ve been informed I can`t go back even if I buy my own ship so Thorvald is not an option, read previous posts. I just started playing the game last week, I presently don`t know how to modify it and don`t think I`ll ever have the patience.

 

Thanks

 

In such a case, you could:
(1) Force the Gorgoth Pass or Hardin Pass to get to the other parts of the continent, where are magickal/mistic/arcane chests containing cathorn crystals just waiting to be found (going to those ruins of some kind of temple would be a good shot for the start),
(2) Get 20 perception. That would make you able to see the gateway without the glases.
However, if you have deleted the save, you can do none of that. Acting a little too quick, IMHO.
