How on earth did it take me 4 months to find out about the beginner magic manual?

I have heard people with it, and always known my +3 int range item isn't as good as it, but I figured it was tough to get.

Then someone says all you need is a hobgoblin suprise....

I look into the quest, and they are almost right, it took me 20 minutes of walking around PoK and 150pp for a hobgoblin suprise, and now I have a plus 6 int range item.

Guess I should play this game more for the quests, I haven't done so nearly enough.

Seeing your posts here, I *assume* that your +3 Int Range slot item was the Seal of Thurgadin. What did you do with it? I am wondering if I can destroy it (well, less than a week before I have room again) or if that will bite me in the arse if I do.

[Delfontes]

+3 int item was a dagger, also had +3 strength...

I am no where near Uber gear wise .

No idea what that Seal is, sorry.

I am hoping to replace the manual with a Trophy, but I can't afford more artisans seals to try anytime soon.

[Sebilrazen]

destroy that little crap item....It won't affect your progression with the shawls(unless they make it a charm and you get bonuses for thurg armor from it ...if so i'll cry)

[HoshiAdam]

Don't destroy the Seal, you can use it to MQ the third shawl and someone can skip the Baking part with it.

[Niellya]

and it has a nice Cold Resist to it.

[Carmaris]

Yeah, my seal got my cleric his third shawl, got a friends cleric her third shawl...we're keeping it around just in case

[Chenier]

Hmm...and it has no recommended level either....hmmmm

[Cigarskunk]

LOL - I got my seal two weeks after I got my trophy which was one week after I got my manual, so my seal was useless three weeks before I even got it.

[Mahlig]

3rd shawl MQ, eh? hmmmm Does the Seal then get transferred to the new person when it is returned? It seems it should.

[Chenier]

Btw, the manual does have a minimum level of 45...=P

I suppose that would make sense since you have to be 46 to get into Tranquility...

[Delfontes]

It is recommended 45, not required I think, I'd have to double check...

I never zoned into tranquility for it, only 2 zones involved for me.

PoK and Bazaar.

Hobgoblin suprise technically requires nightmare drop, but they were only 150pp in bazaar.

I happened to have been 47 (1 kill into it). Incidentially at that level when all was said and done I had about a blue exp... though I think pretty much all the exp was for the final turn in, the 6 or so mid turn-ins said exp, but I don't think it moved.

[Chenier]

No, I know, but I was thinking of running this quest for my new frog I plan on making...but I checked the stats in Magelo and they were all zero's, so sorta pointless.

[Delfontes]

Hmm, might do it for exp at lvl 10 or so when you have a bit of time... the final turn-in seemed to not be that bad.

Though for 150pp you could probably find other exp quests at that level. Unless you have access to more hobgoblin suprises than I do... in which case doing the quest over and over and going through a stack of them may be worth your time.

[Chenier]

Oh right...the xp...forgot about that part. Yah, that might be worth it alone.
