    Second best way from my experience. Best way is to play the game on the highest difficulty, immediately run to the Orc area (or if you're confident enough, sneak up to the Zhurag-Nur area through the one side cavern and farm priestess groups & Shaddar'Rim) and farm the crap out of the Orc champs. I will usually pull 5-6 groups at once and use Area of Effect to smash them all into giant piles of loot that stretch off of my screen. This tactic is best used with Dwarf or Gladiator (howitzer and your leap attack). I spent less than two hours and had three-four full sets including jewelry.

    Where you do NOT want to do this unless you are highly experienced with your character and well-geared: Tyr Lysia in the high-elf/dark elf area. Unless you're prepared, their Radiant Pillar spam will have you respawning before you know what hit you, and you also risk running into not one but three dragons if you follow certain paths, with two dragons appearing right next to each other along with roaming groups of elves. I solo these on all of my characters because I have played Sacred for 14 years now (yes, it's been that long) and there are nothing these NPCs can do that I am unprepared for ;)

    Another way to get set items (only on silver and upper difficulty levels) is doing lots of quest. Some quests has an high probability to give you set items as reward.

    PS: Killing ice elves is my hobby!

    The forum software should permit a pdf to be uploaded I believe.

    Depending what the guide is for however, it may be of benefit to simply post it as a new forum topic in the relevant section (or, as you say, on the wiki). The download section tends to be used more for mods / save files / etc. that cannot be presented in a standard post. For example a character or modding guide could be posted in the Sacred Underworld guide section (which has the added benefit of the cool wiki-links that Schot developed to bring in combat art icons and more) and if you have an associated save file you could then upload that as a download.

    Indeed, a PDF may be uploaded within a topic in a fora here at Dark Matters as I did for a High Elf Build here.

    Ok thanks! I'll post the guide as a topic, and in Sacredwiki too. That's not a guide of the game, but it's a short file wich tells a lot of interesting tips about the game (places with bosses, easter eggs etc). I found it online years ago, when I played the game for the first time, and probably you can find the same tips in SacredWiki or Wolfe's Lair, but in that guide they're gathered in the same file.

    Tradition says that Easter Monday has never rain. Kids do competitions with easter eggs: throwing as far as possible without having then damaged, two Kids banging their eggs together and the one which egg remains intact wins, ...

    In Italy we say exactly the opposite: Easter has always good weather, Easter Monday (we call it "Pasquetta", which means "little easter")  has a bad one. 

    It's funny how countries cultures are so different to each other! Even two countries neighboring countries like Germany and Italy are very different!

    We have not got tradition about eggs, the only easter tradition in Italy is about food (eheh): :chef:

    Every family do a barbecue and has a Colomba as dessert. Colomba is a traditional eastern cake with the shape of a dove. It's usually covered by almonds and it contains chocolate, fruit or cream.

    The most strange eastern tradition in Italy is the "cart boom" in Florence. A cart is placed just in front of the main gate of the Cathedral, then from the altar a pyrotechnical dove is cast on the cart, wich bangs!

    :explode:

    If the dove is safe at the end of the ritual, it means that the next year will be lucky for Florence.

    We have a terrible weather too: 25C, no clouds. So daughters lay in gras with boyfriends and relax. I look up and pray for rain ;)

    Plants, trees, rivers want rain too. Even with 2 month continous raining frp, now on the ground water level would still be behind the average. 

    Ravenna: Harbour town in Roman time but when we visited it we had to walk 10 kilometres to reach the beach. Beach is getting more and more away from the town because of all the sand which is moved there by the currents I think. We once had an Au Pair girl from Ravenna and promised to visit her. She showed our art loving second some very nice mosaics.

    In Italy it doesn't rain for about three months: farmers are getting angry!

    Ravenna has beautiful monuments, but the city is not so good. I prefer Rome and Florence!

    Chattius, you might be interested to know that what you guys make is indeed a type of pizza. It's a variant on what is known as a "white pizza", where you use an alternative base such as sour cream or oil & garlic instead of tomato sauce (because oil & garlic were for a very long time much easier for people to get than tomatoes, which were hilariously considered as being poisonous by people outside of Italy). This type of pizza originated in Greece a very long time ago (the original was basically what is in your picture, and they used Feta/goat cheese) and since has spread everywhere from Turkey and the USA to China. You'll find regional variations on the sour cream based pie in Hungary, Spain, Portugal, and the USA.

    I've just had a white pizza in Ravenna: a large pizza without any type of sauce (not tomato, nor oil garlic) and covered with onions and fries! It's scientifically tested that eating that type of pizza will destroy your sentimental life.
