I was walking through the Multiplayer Island to test some things... when I saw an ogre standing next to the house. He wasn't there before. So I come closer and realised that it is not just an ogre, but Frank Rentmeister himself. And in the house he was standing next to I saw all the other developers, translators and testers of the CM-patch. Do any of you recognize somebody on the picture?

I finally finished all the NPC and enemy pages for the first quest of the Dryad's blue chain (well, one guy still misses a pic of his enemy stats, but it would be done a little bit later after a make one more Dryad to complete this quest - in other words, today). Now almost all the Sloeford NPCs are finally finished. There is only one guy left, but his quest starts near Twainbrook, so he would be done together with Twainbrook NPCs. Yay! Lets see what I would do next. I remember myself willing to work with some quests, like Dark Rituals and Manners maketh Kobold, so I'd probably make some pics for them. And the NPC work is never done too. The next region would probably be the Happy Cow farm, since I've already made most of its NPCs, but there are still some of them left.

If you ask me, I'd advise you to wait for some time. The reason is that in Ice and Blood regions and on the Christmas Island the enemies' level is higher that in other parts of the game. So if you'd go there in the end of the difficulty, you'd still find it interesting (Max level in Silver Wastelands is lower than in Silver Ice and Blood regions). But if you go there from Tyr Lysia and level up quite fast in these places, you'd be so-o-o bored in Artamark with its 54lvl max.

I saw a lot of yellow weapons with more than one bonus (one yellow bonus and something else), I have a yellow longbow with All Skills +x, Attack +x% and Fire Damage +x% at the same time. By the way, maybe some Ice Damage +x% or Magic Damage +x% would be nice to see somewhere in this Dual Wielding set. It's just a common modifier which you can find on many items, but it may work nicely. How about something like +Skills on one sword and +Damage on the other one. It may make people want to use the whole set. If one sword would be better, many people would use it together with something not from this set. But if these swords would work better while together than while you have only one of them, it would be really nice.

Well, the one question is how not to make it overpowered, and the other is how to make it powerful enough to make people search for it. I can say that the new bonuslist Woody suggested looks too weak for me. I won't search through all the Ancaria for this set because I saw random yellow blowpipes with a better bonus list. The same about the amulet and ring. We should remember that finding a complete set takes some time (we don't think about cheaters now but about honest players, OK), and by the time you get at least three items, your chara would be equipped with some high-quality stuff. The set with items less powerful than the normal yellow and even blue items you have equipped is sad, isn't it? Nice overall idea of the dual-wielding set. And the easely recognizable reference. I'm not a big fan of this character, I just know some facts about him. But my knowledge was enough to recognize all the names in this set without asking google. But the same - the random yellow swords (not to mention uniques, which drop more frequently than set pieces) have better bonus lists. How about adding the 'Chance to freeze' for example. And something to skills, like Dual Wielding itself.

You've suggested a really interesting idea for this set. Maybe it would make me like blowpipes more (for now I tend to prefer bows and shurikens). As for my choice, I have to say that I'm not into EP, but I tend to use CAs as much as I can. Therefore I like the suggestion with Combat Art skills. And a Dual-wielding set is a really wonderful idea! I miss such a thing since Sacred 1 (There are all-class sets for various weapon types in Sacred, but nothing for dual-wielding).

6 NPCs and enemy-NPCs were done today. Now with these additional cores the server works quite fast. It definitely allows to do more pages. I have pics prepared for 2 more pages, but I'm too tired to do them now. This Dryad quest is a crazy thing. It seems to be so simple, but all the pages turn out so big. When I noticed that I'd prepared 40 pictures for 8 pages, I understood why I didn't dare to touch this quest for some time. But anyway, it would be done tomorrow.

How about moving the page named 'Sacred 2:In Accordance with Nature (Shadow)' (link: http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacred_2:In_Accordance_with_Nature_(Shadow) ) to the one named 'Sacred 2:In Accordance with Nature - Shadow', since we decided to use this naming system for the shadow quests. I've prepared all links already, so the page is ready to move.

The more interesting stuff is offered by CM, the funnier the game is! Thank you for creating lots of new things. And it's OK that the wiki work on them would never be done. It's a nice work. It's always interesting to find something new. And you're right, gogo. We just HAVE TO advertise for Munera's wiki work as well as the new sets it shows. I think it would bring more attention to CM patch, since many people like to search for set items. It may even make some people to play the game again, since there is new stuff to be found in it. Not to mention the simple fact that a good work on these pages just have to be praised.

Sorry, I meant the damage type, not values, since the values depend on the level, and the type doesn't. It also comes in various appearances. There are 9 (yes, nine) types of this potion, so we'd have fun times finding them all.

This thing's wiki page is up for some time already. Here: Essence of Dark Matters. I told about it in the wiki section, but sadly our admins weren't enthusiastic enough to tell all the others. By the way, looks like the damage of this potion varies from time to time, at least the one pictured here is different from the one I put on the wiki... which means that there would be more then one entry on the wiki page later. Thank you for the info, Wolfie. I'll be looking for other varieties of this thing. About the name... It's such a nice way to thank the community, isn't it? By the way, since the quest is bugged in CM v100, it's not quite clear that these conjurors are the infamous Brotherhood of Sakkara, and that they just subdue the demon and teleport it somewhere instead of banishing it.

Looks like my Internet connection is cursed. While I want to do nothing, or I have no opportunity to work with wiki, it works fine, but once I want to do some new pages... Though I hope that the connection would be better later (it becomes better when less people are online). Right now I'm going to start the game and check the Shadow Dryad's blue chain beginning. After reading the wiki page about it I thought that it would be useful to check before I start NPC pages. Looks like there would be more enemy-NPCs than I thought.

Sorry for off-topic, but what is wrong with Thelendra? Do somebody work with her page? I'm just preparing to do all the NPCs and enemies from this quest tomorrow, so I need to know if this would mess up somebody's work. I think that two enemies with the same name from the same quest but with different models should share one page too. Am I right? I'm talking about reckless hunters from Dryad's quest (since there are two men and one woman among them).

I'm not working with links now. I finally started working with NPCs and enemies from the Dryad's character-specific quest. I'm preparing pictures now. The screens are ready, now I have to do some post-processing. But I'm not sure that I start creating pages today, but I'd be doing them tomorrow.

Could you please move the page named 'Sacred 2:Theodus' (link: http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacred_2:Theodus) to the page 'Sacred 2:Slave Theodus' because of the way this NPC is called in game (you may look at his dialogs here to see that he is exactly 'Slave Theodus'). All the links are prepared except for the link to Zeno's user-page.

I'm sorry, Ysne. I really tend to go too far sometimes. I agree that we should list these pics somewhere. Though I wonder if somebody would use them. It seems that the wiki translation process stopped.

Of course I checked it, but there is no spanish version for this page. All the spanish screens are on the english page. That is why I told you that we'd have to make new screens for the english one... or write the new text lines if we are going to make the spanish version.

I just noticed one funny fact: All the dialogs and logs on some Zeno's pages are in spanish. I think, we'd have to change these pics when we would have some time. I just ran into this while looking at the Manners maketh Kobold, but I think that there may be more.

I wrote aboute the Alien page several posts ago, but it looks like the pic is still on photobucket. Also some photobucket pics are here: http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacred_2:Levied_Tax

So we may hope for the wiki server to work faster, don't we? That's a really great news, gogo. That means that I should prepare more pics, because I would have an opportunity to make more pages. Today the server was more or less fine only with minor edits, like the links. I hope it'd get better.

So the elves are moving too. It would definitely be a lot of work. But thank you for telling it now. At least all the furthest mentions would be correct.

The last three? Which ones are those?

So, you are doing another big edit again. I wasn't planning anything right now, since I have to prepare pics for the new pages. But if you want, I may also help with the links. I know I'm late, but it looks like the work isn't done yet. EDIT Yay for the team work! I hope I managed to help a bit. Looks like all links are ready now. /EDIT

I wasn't a very active contributor the last two days... But I did a page for one more CM-legendary. And this one is really special, because... Well, take a look at the Essence of Dark Matters. This item is the CM developers' way to say thank you. But I think that it's us who should say 'Thank you' to the CM-team. Also made one more NPC. They really are never-ending. And now I want to make pics for the Dark Rituals quest.

As for me, I played a lot of ARPGs because I like building characters. But out of them all, Sacred (actually, both Sacred games, I can't decide which one is better) is special (and my favourite) because of its big and really well developed world. The world of Ancaria that is so interesting to explore. It is not only big, but filled with quests, stories and beautifully designed places (though the technical level of computer graphics is not the highest, the design itself frequently made me stop playing to do some screenshots). Actually, the game with no story can't keep me interested for a long time (that is why Diablo with its random levels can't be among my favourites). But in Sacred you can find some little stories and details everywhere, and I keep looking for them over and over again. I can also agree that it's good to have characters who can be developed differently. Though there are only 7 charas in Sacred 2, there are so much more builds... It's the only ARPG where I have several characters of the same type, because there is an opportunity to build them differently. And like many other people here, I was waiting for Sacred 2 to be released because I liked (and still like) the first Sacred.
