    [​IMG] Ok, i mentioned it in a previous post but i've read walkthroughs that say you have to do the sphere before nalia's keep on a fighter/mage if you want to get both as a stronghold and i was just wondering if there was a certain order i should do my cleric and ranger stronghold quests in?

    In my game i just killed the unseeing eye and im hoping this hasnt wrecked my chances for getting the ranger Stronghold.

    Rather than shaking chicken bones and waiting for the planets to align to exploit a bug to get two strongholds, it's much, much simpler to just install the Multiple Strongholds component from Ease of Use. :)

    Just make sure that the one you can't live without you do first. I would choose the Mage stronghold over the Fighter one as you can only get money from the Fighter one (right?).

    Who needs money in these games except early on?

    The game has a bug where Nalia (dumb chick that she is) does not check to see if you already have a stronghold. Which is why you can get 2 strongholds.
    This does not happen with other strongholds. So you can choose any one stronghold only.
    Ranger stronghold is far better than the :sick: Cleric one.

    Else do what Camdawg suggests and get all possible strongholds. :D

    "as you can only get money from the Fighter one (right?)."

    No. The De’Arnise Keep gives you experience too, just like the Sphere. From the sphere, If you do not let the apprenti die you get experience and experience for helping the stranded knights. There are about 5 times you get experience from the keep, but you must go back there every week to get it. Also, to get the money from the keep you must go and fetch it yourself.

    ...and if you expect any decent XP awards from the keep, you're going to sink a whole lot more money into it than you will make.
