Do you have a pickpocket skill? I stole crystals... even from the non responding guards in Act 1, drill grounds - I already have an earth crystal <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />
The Necro has crystals and charms.
Ah, yes I have the pickpocketing skill but only low level, and I didn't get it until Act II. I haven't been able to ply my *cough* skill on the Necro because the game cleverly forces me either into dialogue or transport mode, and won't let me wander around stealing stuff! Bummer. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
