Wheel Clan Spectacles (Kothrin Crystal)

I managed to get a bit stuck on trying to get ahold of these spectacles. Unfortunetly, I left the Isle of Despair far to sooner then I had intended. Although, I did have the good sense to seek out Raymond's Fine Spectacles. He offers to make the spectacles but only for 1000 in coin (Which I have) and if I provide the Kotrhin Crystal (Which I don't have). The only diologe choice I get is, "Forget it."

So, where do I go from here? Or, more importantly, where can I get ahold of a Kothrin Crystal?

Thanks! =)

 

Hah! This again! Oh yeah I remembered first time I plaid... ou know these crystalls are there en masse in the Black Mountain clan mines but I geuss you already sold them?
I loaded from there and plaid again, but they are somewhere to be found later in game.... just where... either the Old Tenple or the Dragon Liek I think Im not quite sure (although these two, too, you can enter befor ethe Isle of Despair and if you THEN already have sold them...plus, Im not ztoo sure if there were some)

 

Go back to a save just before the Isle of Despair, go there, and kill everyone! Take the glasses and then have a ball!

 

i believe that there is a kathorn crystal at the ancient shipwreck north of ashbury. just mapwalk along coast until you get there and be ready to fight...

 

Thanks!

Thanks! Not only was there one Kothrin crystal at the Shipwreck, but 3 or 4. Thanks for the help! =)

 

no problem. does anyone know if there is anything else at the shipwreck thats worth getting?

 

Saleable loot. A bit of this & that, a Charmed Sword.

 

Hello all

I'm a newbie here. I went back to Ashbury because I had plenty of those crystals and had the spectacles made. But now I cannot return to the Isle of Despair. Captain Teach is always saying the same paragraph and I got no options. Using latest patch (1.7.0.4)

 

This is the speech I got from Captain Edward Teach:

"Come back again, laddie. Old Teach'll be here if'n you ever need a cap'n to sail for ye..."

 

1) Welcome to the forum. :wavey:

2) Ignore the forum parasites who just like to flame newbies. By "newbie", of course they mean "anyone with a slightly lower post count than them".

3) Why do you need to go back to the Isle? Aside from the ambiance of course. Didn't you get the Wheel Clan marked on your map? Head off in that direction, and for the love of Nasrudin only enter during the daytime to avoid a (non-game-breaking) bug. If you have Virgil with you he can tell you approximately what you should be doing through the main plot.

 

1)Welcome to the forum!
2)DON'T gravedig. Ever. Replying to a thread that has long been abandoned is frowned upon around here, and you had just resurrected a thread that had last been replied to on Jan 01, 2003. Expect the more spiteful forum members to tell you off. Repeatedly.
If you don't find what you need while reading through the existing threads and want to ask a question- post a thread of your own. There is always a bunch of people who are ready to help a newbie.
3)If you have been to the Isle of Despair and found out the location of the Wheel Clan (I assume you have done that, since you know about the spectacles), you cannot come back. Ever. Completing all quests on the island is not necessery for the main plot. If you still want to do it, go back to your saves before the Isle of Despair and do the whole thing again.

 

Ok, my fault

I also want to thank you for your replies.

 

Not your fault. Not every board has post count hungry idiots ready to play stormtrooper over every newbies but. Personaly, I don't mind gravedigging at all, the funniest thing I ever did in Arcanum was handed to me in a grave dug post. It led to a whole new way to magic through the game called Meta abuse. Was the talk of the offical VU Arcanum board for months.

So, welcome aboard & have fun.

 

The point of the thread is to tell you welcome.

 

Meta abuse starts with the pecular ability of Reflection Shield to make enchantments permanent. The grave dug post told how to make peremanent sheep folowers. Study Meta & Morph, when your MA hits 100% get a Stillwater Blade. Summon a Vorpal Bunny, Polymorph it into a sheep, cast Reflection Shield, & cancel the spells in reverse order. This gives you a permanent sheep who is a mele Master & has Shield of Protection.

Other tricks, Mental & Meta. Dominate Will, Reflection Shield, cancel in reverse order. Anyone in the game can become your follower. (Mages with WP = 20 not available, sorry.) Pick those with leveling schemes attached.

How about an Elf Nature Mage with Control Beast & Meta? A pack of Timber wolves & a Golden Bear or two. But for the magic using animals you mostly need DW.

This works with almost any enchantment. Permanent SoE on Vergil & Janya. Permanent PoW on ME? Teach this one to Dante & he will never turn off his SoP.

Reflection Shield just does not the same thing for Create Undead as it does for summon spells or Dominate Will. :sigh: No evil necromancer & his unstoppable army of zombies. Animate a corpse, cast Reflection Shield, turn off the Create Undead & the poor sap just keels over.

Have fun & sheep.

 

You mean if I want to make the Temporal Crusher from the Island of Despair my permanent follower, I need Dominate Will and not Control Beast spell?

So it doesn't consume any fatigue, then? In this case, you can cast on yourself and preserve Haste, Tempus Fugit, Shield of Protection, SoE, AoF, PoW and VoA and it will all stay and won't cost you one FT?[/quote]

 

sorry if this is a little useless but whats a temporal crusher?

 

You know the sorcerous beast on the Isle of Despair? Well , that's a Temporal Crusher , looks like a Wargunn.

 

i dont know the sorcerous beast actually is there s screenshot of one anywhere?
