I don't know what I have to do.
I don't have the Blessing from RAAN
Gave him the ring of RAAN a bit later.

Still not blessing.

Who made that drug?

But I think I will need to Summon a informant before going further.

I have a muchroom ( already before I was given the quest )
And I got 12 RUNE From NR 13

http://beyond.divinedivinity.net/help/act4_academy_l2.htm

I also got 3 gray runes.

And that RANAAR instructor @ 6 tells me that I am missing something.

Thxxxxx for all help.

Raan's blessing => talk to the priestess - then to the statue - answer the question correctly. Grab the amulet out of the statue

Go to the 1st instructor, get the quest and key to enter library corridor
speak to Antopar (librarian)
go into library - and I'm sorry READ! Mycology book, 2x imp guide books, summoning book => tells you what you need
go to specimen woman Belehram, info where the specimens are

did you do this? Do you want more spoilers?

Well, I need more spoilers. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> I'm hopeless here, it seems. I have the blessing, I've read the library books, talked to everyone on level 2 of the Academy... but I still can't prove who is selling drugs (even though I think I know, my character appears to still be clueless)... and I cannot summon my first Imp informant even though I have all three ingredients and the Wisdom rune.

What the devil am I doing wrong? I am pitiful, just pitiful. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Make sure you grab the book about summoning informants from the library, I think you need it also. Don't worry about the drug thing right now, it ties into another quest later.

Thank you for the reply. Yes, I have the book on summoning in my inventory. I also have kohar root, feynur potion, spider leg and wisdom rune. However when I place them in the first summoning circle, the teacher there tells me some are missing. I have no clue what could be missing since I have everything the book calls for. I am well and truly stuck here, and have been for the past 10 hours or so. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Hmmm... the only thing I can think of is did you put the wisdom rune in the circle? If so, you need to pick it up and give it to the teacher. Hope that helps.

Give the wisdom rune to the teacher instead of putting it in the circle with the rest of the ingredients? Whoa. That hadn't occurred to me. I'll put the rune back in my inventory and see if I can get a different dialogue with the teacher at that point. Thank you for the idea! I'd have not thought of it myself,and am clearly getting a tad desperate to move on. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

You might make sure the ingedients are correct. I accidently put a bone in the circle rather than the Spider leg (my DeathKnight was chewing on it). Took me a while to figure out what I did wrong.

Success! That was the problem. I was putting the Wisdom Rune in the circle with the ingredients rather than keeping it in my inventory, which unlocked another dialogue option with the teacher.

Wow, how annoying to have spent so danged much time on this. Thank y'all very much for the assistance.

I had the same problem... the instructor would keep telling me I missed an item, also did the summoning book.

I went back to the library, read all books again AND I put the one that describes mycology in my inventory... when I entered the summoning room with this extra book it worked! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
Actually, I already got the XP the moment I walked in the room.
The book had to be in the inventory to trigger the quest.

Apparently the Larian people think we take all books with us (maybe some of you do)...



What's that? This is NOT real life? a game? Help, I wanna get out...

Some of the items needed to summon and informer for Quetzacellona are missing... don't waste your time... and mine...
and don't forget about the protection rune...


IF I HEAR THAT NPC SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME IM GONNA DELTE THIS GAME LOL


Inside the circle of skull candles I have the following:
SPIDER LEG
weight 1

KOHAR ROOT
Weight 1

FEYNUR POTION
Weight 2

On myself I have all the runes with the symbols on them, and I also have the Book of Basic Summoning.

I give up, add onto this I have some item/loot stat corruption where everything dropping from NPCs I kill or new loot I find has no stats or abilities or weight, its all just the name and white letters no magic items at all. The vendors are also all empty.

This is so lame

I had issues when I picked things up before actually getting the quests. Drop the items and pick them up again and things are fine.

Hope this helps.

Xanu, did you put the stuff into the circle by yourself? If you enter the fore room and see XP fluttering up => then you have to ask the teacher first before doing so.

I had the same problem also. Finally I went out to the hall, dropped all my special items (everything, even if not related to this quest), and picked them up again but if you have more than 1 rune, make sure you pick up only the WISDOM rune.

I don't know if it was the dropping/picking up items or having only the Wisdom rune that fixed the problem but it finally got the guy to start the summoning.

I had the same exact problem outlined in this and other threads on the first summoning test. My hang up was I had two spider legs--one from act 4 and one from one of the previous acts. I left the room, dropped everything, picked up the ingredients and rune, went back in, no luck. I went back out, dropped the one spider leg I was carrying and then picked up the other one I had. Went back in and that did the trick. It seems the program is looking for the leg you get in act 4 which is impossible to tell without trial and error since it looks exactly like the leg from the previous acts.

Hope this helps any other pack rats who hold on to every unique item they pick up!
