two questions please…. 1.I heard it is easier to get precrowening at the pyramid. IIRC, I never saw an alter there, so is it true? How can it be done? 2. I`m palying a ranger and I also read somewhere that he can sacrifice seeds. How much will get me precrowen? |

Let me think... About 100 blessed stomafillia are said to be enough for a precrowning... That's 600000 points of satiation. A seed has 20 points of satiation, so you need 30000 uncursed seeds. On the bright side, 25000 blessed seeds might be enough. I don't know why it should be easier to get a precrown in the pyramid. What people refer to is probably that if your precrowning level minimum has become 17 due to 3 artifacts found, you can gather up piety and become precrowned after having gained level 17 inside the pyramid BEFORE fighting Rehetep, since you don't need an altar to become precrowned, you need it to gather the piety for the precrown. You drop the golden ball. You kick the golden ball. It slides to the west. Suddenly Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, appears! "That's not how you play Quidditch! are you even listening?" Which direction? (123456789) 4 Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, is hit by a bolt of acid! Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, is annihilated. You hear the ecstatic cries of a large crowd! |

The point about the pyramid is that you can't be over level 17 to enter, but there's a precrowning possibility at level 18 (provided you haven't generated too many artifacts). Completing the pyramid generates 2 further artifacts, which will normally screw up any further chances for precrowns for the rest of the game. One way to get around this is to get to level 17, on the verge of turning level 18, and sac enough stuff to get you extremely close. Then once you enter the pyramid you can kill something to get you up a level and pray for a precrowning (assuming you still have enough piety and are of the right alignment). Any character can sacrifice seeds, it's just that Rangers start out with the Survival ability that lets them get seeds easily. As far as I'm aware it takes a stupendous amount of seeds to get a precrowning though. You're better off harvesting stomafillia.

The precrowning possibility is at level 17 (8 + 9), and the Pyramid only allows PCs of level 13 to 16 to enter. The process is as described (though I'm not sure you can get the extremely close message when you've already been precrowned), only one level lower. You drop the golden ball. You kick the golden ball. It slides to the west. Suddenly Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, appears! "That's not how you play Quidditch! are you even listening?" Which direction?

It reads in the guidebook, that for precrowning you must have: character level >= 8 + 3 * artifacts generated. For the longest time I thought it meant your exp. level must be greater than 8+(3*AG), but it's actualy greater than or equal to 8+(3*AG). It is a bit cryptic. About the pyramid, I don't even think it's possible for an alter to be generated in there, as I have never seen one in all the years I've been playing. Maybe you read that it's easier to get pre-crowned before doing the pyramid. That would make sense, because of the 2 artifacts generated there. Put me in the 'fool filter', where I belong! |

Getting crowned in the pyramid isn't about getting an altar there, it's getting absolutly close at level 16 and leveling up to 17 in the pyramid. You do so if you want to get the maximum amount of precrownings while not missing the ankh and the ancient mummy warping. A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel. A realist sees a train. And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks.

Yeah, getting crowned with cold immunity SUCKS! Wear the AMR to prevent that. "As for me, I feel priveleged to be among the only species able to make scientific inquiries." -unknown "Be sure to keep your distance if you don't have resistance." -DG |
