syn 0 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Link to the thread over at SIF I've gotten to level 216 3 times I've got every character to at least niob I've jumped the farthest and explored the most Now I'm not patting myself on the back and know other people have done more but............ I need another challenge Something realistic...nothing like making an unarmed combat BM...but is there something out there that hasn't been done or hasn't been documented or something you always wondered about?....maybe a pure WIDD toon or a one-shot dragon killer or a max Banish Undead toon.. I'm looking for ideas and any and all thoughts are welcome. I got till at least September so I need something to occupy my time Hi Knuckles, hopefully you read Darkmatters too ; ) You said that you don't play SP much but here's a quick challenge for you - get a toon to niob as quickly as possible. My personal best is level 28 (with item muling) but think that can be beaten easily. Link to comment
Erling 3 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I thougth a melee mage was a real challange mine died at level 49 Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) Been thinking about trying several things but ended up on a side project..one that everyone is free to help with I've been researching a little bit on how all the Sets got their names Some obvious ones (for grave readers) for example are: Relmin = Merlin Thar Eross = Short Arse Solwemyr = M Worsely But others are trickier. Andiell, Astrala and Blackstaff are all names listed under "Acknowledgements" in the Sacred manuals M'eg An Enid's may be from a statue reading "In memory of Megan Enid Anne", found in a cemetary south of the Bellevue Abbey I have all the ones from the grave inscriptions but need help on the others Edited January 4, 2008 by Knuckles Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Wicked project knuckles! I don't think I've seen anyone add gravestones to SacredWiki yet. And...sounds like another page for the Wiki database... so much info to be tracked down gogo Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Ah! That is a fantastic idea Knuckles. I have wanted to know the stories behind the set names for a long time now. Who are/were these people! Recently I've been finding much mention about "King Arrnum". Mostly around Crows Rock I think... I'd be very happy to provide anything I discover and will look to collate what I've read about Arrnum. P.s. I think PowerPyx could have a great deal of knowledge in this respect. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 It's funny, after just doing a bunch of quest work for the database, King Arnum keeps popping up... Seems like Sacred Lore is a bit more interesting that I ever gave it credit for. ^^ gogo Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Here's some info PowerPyx gave about item names. Quetzal and Berenique Link to comment

Totalimmortal 0 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I as well forgot about that thread, thanks for making me feel like a noob again =P hehe. seriously, a great idea... now my curiosity is piqued... another way to get sidetracked during the game... thanks guys, now im gonna spend like 1000000000 hours looking at gravestones and statues... -Total Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 There's a complete list over at the Sacred forum found here Link to comment
Therion X 19 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Mammon is a Phrase for Money (.. Gold Drop) or dishonestly earned Money/Wealth (.. Trading) Link to comment
Viper Mk.II 0 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Kara's Lucky Gauntlets - perhaps named after Kara "Starbuck" Thrace, a character from Battlestar Galactica Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Kara's Lucky Gauntlets - perhaps named after Kara "Starbuck" Thrace, a character from Battlestar Galactica Viper that's a VERY cool idea.... I'm a huge fan of the series, and I would never have thought of that... Now you got me wondering... do you think it's really from there? gogo Link to comment
Genenut 8 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Cant be, I think BSG started airing AFTER underworld was released especially over in europe where sacred is programmed .. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 ahh, true...I just realized the character "kara" is new...from the new series only... so you're right, the name could not have been taken from BSG gogo Link to comment
fRACTAL 0 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) It's funny, after just doing a bunch of quest work for the database, King Arnum keeps popping up... Seems like Sacred Lore is a bit more interesting that I ever gave it credit for. ^^ gogo I found a complete collection of the scrolls written down via google but I can't locate it atm, I searched for something like sacred scrolls game or sacred journals or something. @Knuckles wicked project! ~Doom EDIT: Squeedooo! I found it however it doesn't include the UW scrolls Edited January 7, 2008 by TimOfDoom Link to comment
FrostElfGuard 9 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 There is a lot of content in the books and scrolls of Ancaria. Also, Sacred is very much a group effort. A huge number of people were involved. Everytime someone came up with an idea, they would hurry over to the lead developer...and often he'd say: "Put it in! Put it in!" So. Just keep in mind: many cooks were involved in this stew! Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 The books and scrolls just blow me away. Just lately we've been doing a lot of digging and delving into all of the content in the game...scrolls, books, and especially the log book. Brilliant Let's hope there are as many cooks for the sequel as the first. Nice find there Tim +++ gogo Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 You can download all the scrolls/books (including UW) in this thread by Rotluchs. Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Oh sweet! Never even though to check there. Thanx Knuckles! Link to comment
