Thanks, I stopped just short of that last night, so tonight I can try that.
I did buy the Reckless Necklace from the DQVC last night. I was led to believe it would be expensive - turned out only to be 3600. That's nothing. Now I have two of them and I guess I should turn one into a Lucky Pendant. I currently have 3 Saints Ashes.
[quote name='craven_fiend']He might be able to luck into them in Western Coffinwell. I've fought 3 that way. There's an island that they appear on between Eastern Coffinwell and Zere. It's the island that's in the background when you fight the Wight Knight.[/QUOTE]
Hmmm, I may have seen those in a grotto too.
As for the Great Trolls being in the later part of the Palace (after beating the third of the 3 minibosses), uh, I didn't see them. There were still just "Boss Trolls" there and just to be sure there wasn't a typo in the game (Sage quest is to beat "great trolls" but maybe they meant Boss Trolls) I killed one with Frizz - no indication that it counted, so I'm guessing they aren't it. Or are they up there in the Realm? I didn't think there would be much to see up there as it was very short when I went through it earlier.
[quote name='doctorfaustus']Thanks.
Bummer, I prefer when a party is made up of characters that either have their own plots or are part of the main story. I'm not too crazy about wandering around with a group of random/one-dimensional characters.[/QUOTE]
You know, I felt this way at first, too, but after a while I really started to like having my own characters. You can control what they are completely and you don't have to worry about them coming and going like in previous games (when you'd lose a character due to a story event and were never sure you'd ever get them back). So you can invest in each one and not worry about what might happen to them. Don't worry, you'll have the faerie for the chatter

. By the way, that smart-ass mouthed off at me last night about wasting time "boosting my level" and maybe if I hadn't done that we could have saved
. I thought that was pretty funny. So far the end-game bosses have been pretty damn easy, so I guess I did boost a fair amount (3 of my chars are level 40-45 now, with just my recently-acquired Paladin under 30). I'd like to get the Sage unlocked before the end but I may just finish up and do that afterwards.
