Solution 1
2: Side with Richard and help him defeat the guards

If you don't edit a post for more than 2 days then you can't change it. Maybe everyday you could just change something, like put the date in the post and then change it everyday so the post doesn't 'set'.

Did you use the Lovis Scrying Stone?
When you get the chains to drop with the 4 items, weapons/shield.....dont take one of those! Go back to the room where you first dropped in and behind that structure hanging on a chain in the corner, is a skillbook. rpg007

o Great.

I'm far passed that part lol. I'm about to kill Laiken, but I quickly checked this to see if I forgot something.
But that's the Citadel Chamber, not Citadel Dungeon. I was looking around in the friggin' citadel Dungeon, which is the part with the skeleton trader and the 4 buttons...

Probably a stupid question, but... are these confirmed as being ALL of the skill and stat points in the game? That's including the Lomax stat point in New Order or Champion Chaos.

Using a skill or stat book will remove it from your inventory. If you have books in your miscellaneous inventory section associated with quests, etc, for the most part they can be sold (for 3 gold), as can any randomly generated books (that can show up in different locations or as loot).

Raze, I was wondering if maybe this topic should be remade using the lists I compiled in my guide. This topic is a decent starter for the topic of bonus points, but it has some missing information (such as the skill point in New Order or Champion Chaos), and some incorrect info (like listing an incorrect amount of dragon points, and listing one book twice).

Just thought that if we're gonna have a topic like this, it should be ass accurate as possible, which this one isn't, and the time and ability to edit it are long past.

I'm gonna make the topic, but I'm going to keep it as brief as this topic is. More of a guide than a detailed list. People who want to actually "find" it themselves still can, and those who want the exact location can check my guide or ask (which they would do as it is, since this list isn't more descriptive).

Do you think I should keep it brief, or give a couple of sentences to most entries for the sake of being complete? And should I wrap anything post-battle tower in spoilers?

A short description wouldn't hurt for the sake of completeness, but it is up to you how brief or verbose you wish to be.

The way this list is set up, you can avoid reading ahead when you get to an area you have not been to yet, either with the different sections, or for each description, giving the region and general area first, then the specific location.
If you design your guide in a similar manner, you wouldn't necessarily need to use spoiler tags, though that would certainly be one way to provide an general info for those who just want to check that they have completed an area before continuing, as well as detailed directions for those who are trying to find a specific book or don't mind getting spoilers.
If you are going to use spoiler tags, though, I'm not sure why the post battle tower stuff would be more important to hide than earlier skill and stat points.
