I decided to write this faq because A: I had some tips I wanted to share with other people. Like, you don't necessary have to be evil just because your temple is growing spikes. I'll get back to that later. B: I had some free time on my hands. And C: Blah. _____________________________________________________________________ II.

Evil but good guide NOTE: This guide is only meant for Single player. You may try it in multiplayer. Since I don't have internet on the computer that I have Black & White installed I havent had the chance to try it online. So I guess this strategy is mainly for newbies who never seems to be able to convert one single village in Skirmish. (Like one my buddies. :) But I DO hope that some people will get some help from this guide. In this section I am going to explain how to be evil, but still being good. There are a lot of guides describing how to be evil and/or good. Actually there are certain drawbacks on being plain evil or good. If you are plain evil for example. I.E starving your villagers, killing for fun, destroy houses for fun. You will end up with less people. Which means less influence. And all good gods. Their drawback is that they will spend LOTS and LOTS of time on managing villages. I'm not saying this is bad. Because they will end up with lots of influence. But then, they will spend a lot of time trying to convert an enemy village. Sure, they will get lots of belief with "flying creatures" miracle and artifacts. But maybe just about 200 each "flying creatures" and artifact. And that isnt enough if you have to get 1800 belief. That is the drawback of being good. Now, here I will explain my strategy. In it you mix in the good parts in being good and evil. First, start off in being good. Which means that you should feed your villagers and give them houses to expand. The most important thing is that they get kids. I will get to that point later. Do NOT play evil and make them starve! Starvation is bad. Second, continue in being good. Send your creature to convert all of the neutral villages. Start off with the ones close to your initial village. Then proceed until you have converted all of the neutral villages avaible. And all villages belongs to someone. That is how you convert a neutral village. But I bet you already knew that. :) (NOTE: Only use this strategy if the village require 1000 belief or more!!!! If it only requires ~800 you can use normal impressing techniques, unless you want a quick convertion that is. :) Third, Time to get evil!!!! Get your influence so you can get your hand inside the enemy village for at least some seconds. This can be done by A: Increase the population in your nearby village. or B: Building a wonder. I would recommend A though. Unless you have a lot of wood somewhere that you dont know what to do with it. I recommend you save the wood for the enemys last village. OK, now. As said, time to get evil. Sacrifice children to get lots of PP (Prayer Power). Note that you can also take people from the enemy village and sacrifice THEM instead of your own villagers. Use the PP for "Lightning" miracle. Now, go postal and kill everyone in the enemy village until every single one is dead! If he has worshippers at the temple. Just torch the village store to bring them back. Then kill them. If you feel like this way of converting a village is too evil for you. You can also move every villager from the enemy village to yours. But make sure you have enough houses for this. Then, when the village is empty of villagers. Just place a missionary in the village. And impress him/her. Since the required belief now is 0. Its enough if you just throw some wood in front of him/her. And s/he will get enough impressed for you to get the village. The downside of the killing is that every death lessens that villages influence. Though, it wont lessen if you simply move one of the villagers to another village. So, if you dont want to build up all of that villages influence. I recommend that you move all the villagers to another village. Summary: I myself always kill everyone in the enemy village. Which means that my hand is as red as it can beand my temple has more spikes than the whole fakir world confederation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some evil gods do so stupid things, they make people starve. And they do this just because they want to play evil. But the only thing this accomplishes is that you will have less (and less happy) villagers. So, the only evil things that is "good" is sacrificing and killing people in enemy villages. Personally I always sacrifice, I almost never use worshippers. And that is because of two reasons. 1: I always forget about them, which means they'll starve and die. Which is bad. 2: They are slow. It's a lot faster to sacrifice a child. And it doesnt harm your village population very much. INFO REQUEST!!!!! I have read a lot of guides on how to play good. But they never seem to work. People say that I should keep the desire flags as low as possible. I do this,,, nothing happens. I can play through a skirmish game without killing a single villager. And no desire flag raised higher than 50%. Except for at the end of the game. When I just want to kill the enemy god. But still I just get about a +0.07 alignement change! So I ask you. Is there any way of getting a high positive alignement fast? Or at least without having to play 10+ games? ********************************************************************************************************************** IV. Silver Scrolls Silver scrolls are not vital, but may give you certain bonuses if you finish them. There are usually a lot of ways to NOT finish a quest. And usually only a few way to finish it. I'll try to give you as many ways as possible to finish a quest. And how to get the maximum of fun out of the quests. :) *********************************************************** IV.1. Land 1 The first island doesnt have very challenging quests, in my opinion the only challenging quest is the sheep quest. And the singing stones might also be a bit tricky, but not too much. I will try to give you three ways of completing each quest. One good solution with a good reward. One evil solution with an (if possible) evil reward. So let's get started. IV.1.1 Learn how to throw stones *********************************************************** Location: Behind your temple, close to the mountains. Good solution _____________ Do as White tells you to do and use the rocks to knock the stone of the pillar. Very simple. Reward: A beach ball in a chest. Evil solution _____________ Pick up a rock, drop it on the man watching you until he dies. Then throw his skeleton and knock the stone off the pillar. :) Reward: A beach ball in a chest. *********************************************************** IV.1.2 Drowning fishermen *********************************************************** Location: Near the fishing spots at the beach close to the village, you can't miss it. Good solution _____________ Have your creature leashed with the compassion leash and have him pick them all up and bring them to the beach. Do this by first clicking on the drowning fisherman. And then click on the beach (or wherever you want your creature to put him down). Remember that you won't get any reward if you let anyone of them drown. Reward: Strenght creature miracle dispenser. Evil solution _____________ Throw in the woman that gave you the quest, give her to your creature, throw her around. Just make sure you kill her. Also, don't rescue the fishermen. Or you CAN rescue them, but only if you want them to become food to your creature. Reward: Nothing. *********************************************************** IV.1.3 Good Sheep Hunting *********************************************************** Location: In the village, next to the creche. Close to the gates. Good solution _____________ Return all of his NINE (9) sheep. He will give you the first reward when you give him the first 5 sheep. But he have forgot that he actually has 9 sheep. So you will get the second part of the reward when you have found them all. The location of all of the sheep are as follows: * Behind the huge gate. * Next to the sculptors house. * Fenced in with some pigs, a little bit outside the village. * Near a singing stoneby the sea, close to the village and where the drowning fishermen where. * Where the stone throwing quest were. Next to the hut. * Where the sick man was. * Under some trees where you started. (Not EXACTLY where you started, follow the path a little bit.) * On the mountainSIDE (notice SIDE.) close to where you started. * On a mountaintop close to the hermit. (The camera will zoom in to it when you get the quest.) A tip when searching for the sheep are to zoom in until you hear a "baaing". Then you'll know you are close to the sheep. Reward: For 5 sheep, a stack of grain. For all 9 sheep, the sheep creature. Evil solution _____________ Do whatever you want, wreck his house. Find all his sheep, change to the sheep creature and then have it eat all the sheep sure is evil. Or you can just let it eat the farmer. Reward: The same as above if you find his sheep. If you just do nothing and kill the farmer: Nothing. *********************************************************** IV.1.4 The Singing Stones *********************************************************** Location: Close to three stones with runes. Outside the second village. Good solution _____________ Find all the stones and place them in the right order. The tunes are supposed to go from lower to higher tunes. The locations are as follows: * Close to the singing stones. Amongst some trees if I remember right. * Where the sick man was. * In the village. Next to the graveyard. * In the hermits quarry. * On the mountain BACKSIDE. Near the beach where you started. On a cliff. It can be pretty hard to spot. There are also three false stones. But you'll know if you've found any of those. Their tunes defenetly doesnt belong to the scale. Reward: A food miracle dispenser. Evil solution _____________ Use a singing stone and wrech the mans house. Then find all of the singing stones and throw them into the ocean. Reward: Nothing. *********************************************************** IV.1.5 Ship Building *********************************************************** Location: Behind the huge gates. You can't miss it. Good solution _____________ Bring them everything they asks for. First wood, it has got to be from the storage. Then grain. And last meat. Any kind of meat will do. But don't use a sheep unless you have finished the sheep hunting quest. It's OK even if you give them two horses. Reward: A water miracle dispenser. (And some help on island 5.) Evil solution _____________ If you didn't like their song, or just wants to be evil. Just kill them! That is in fact the only thing you can do since it seems like the ship is invulnerable. Reward: "Oh, my god! They killed Kenneth!" *********************************************************** IV.1.6 The Piper *********************************************************** Location: At the first village's créche. Good solution _____________ Get your creature over there and leash him to the piper. Who will have a panic attack and freeze. Giving your creature some time to catch him. Then, put him down near the cave and he will unlock it and release the children. Reward: A heal miracle dispenser. Evil solution _____________ Just ignoring it is rather evil. But not very fun. So have your creature pick him up and eat the piper. Or just kill him yourself by dropping a rock at him. Reward: Lightning miracle dispenser. *********************************************************** IV.1.7 The Hermit *********************************************************** Location: Near the stone you had to find for the sculptor. Good solution _____________ Actually, the only one that worked for me is to just let him grow. Play skirmish and let him grow there. Thats all I can think of. Reward: If you manage to impress the hermit he will give you a water miracle dispenser. And he will tell you a secret about fireflies. The secret is that, at days, they will hide under rocks and trees. And if you find them. And lift the tree or rock the firefly will change into a one shot miracle. Evil solution _____________ The very first time I got this quest my creature went so mad at the hermit that he picked up a stone and threw it on the hermits house. I got a one shot water miracle. And then, after some time I also got a burning storage. That is what the hermit will do if you wreck his house. He will set fire on your storage. But be on your guard and make sure he doesn't get the chance to do this and you'll be fine. Reward: A one shot water miracle. (And a burning storage?) *********************************************************** IV.1.8 Me name Sleg, Me hungry... *********************************************************** Location: Close to the spot where you fought Guide. Good solution _____________ Bring the ogre some food. But you have to do it twice to make him go to sleep. Then have your creature sneak by and grab the treasure. Reward: Beach ball, and improved heal miracle dispenser. Evil solution _____________ Use your creature to fight the ogre. When you win you can go through the pass and get the reward. If you fail the first time, just keep trying until you beat him. Reward: Beach ball, and improved heal miracle dispenser. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IV.2 Land 2 The quests in land 2 are quite fun to do. And there are quite many of them. One more than land 1. IV.2.1 The big bad plague *********************************************************** Location: The second village you convert. The one inside the tree fences. Good solution _____________ Empty the village store of all food, then heal all of the villagers. Until the man that gave you the quest says it's finished. About the green food... do whatever you want with it. Just DO NOT feed your creature with it! Reward: Lightning miracle at village center. Evil solution _____________ Leave it alone. Let them die. Then use the poisoned food to infect other village storages. Remember that only 1 food is enough to poison a whole village storage. Reward: Nothing. *********************************************************** IV.2.2 The Singing Stones (again) *********************************************************** Location: Outside the village in the middle of the island. A semi-circle of stones with runes on them. Solution _____________ I won't divide this quest into an evil and a good solution. Since there is only one solution in my opinion. First, play "Twinkle, twinkle, little star". Use the stones in this order. From left to right. 1,1,8,8,9,9,8,6,6,5,5,3,3,1 The day will turn into night and the stones will transform into tombstones. Then, play either "White Christmas" or "Funeral March" on the stones. White christmas: 2,3,2,1,2,3,4,5 Funeral March: 2,2,2,2,5,4,4,2,2,1,2 If you play "White Christmas", snow will start to fall. And if you play "Funeral March", a circle will be created. And if you place a skeleton in it. It will go back to life with full health. Cool! *********************************************************** IV.2.3 The gift of belief *********************************************************** Location: The village in the center of the island. Near the singing stones. Good solution _____________ If you want to be entirely good, sacrifice plants until they reach the same amount as a child would. This may take some time. So if all you want is the reward for sparing his child. All you have to do is to sacrifice another child. :) Remember that you can sacrifice ANYTHING except the shaman and his family to get Prayer Points. Reward: Increased Heal milracle from the village center. Evil solution _____________ Now isnt that unfair? The child has nothing to say about all this! UNFAIR! So, instead of sacrificing the child. Sacrifice first the shamans wife, and then the shaman himself. And let the child live. Reward: Nothing. *********************************************************** IV.2.4 The swimming children *********************************************************** Location: In the same village as the plague was. Good solution _____________ Have your creature pick up the children and then bring them to the shore and they will automaticlly run to their mother. Another good solution is to move the mother to the shore near the children. And they will get out of the water by themselves. Though this solution wont give you any reward. Reward: Enlarge creature miracle dispenser. Evil solution _____________ Some evil ways of finishing this quest would be to throw in the mother in the water. And then let her drown at excactly the same spot as the children are swimming. Or maybe to let your creature either pick up the children just to have you throw them in and let them drown. Or to have your creature eat the children while the mother is watching. Have fun. Reward: Nothing. *********************************************************** IV.2.5 The Slavers *********************************************************** Location: Outside Khazars greek village. You have to convert it in order to be able to trigger the quest. And if you want to be good. You'll have to wait until Nemesis have killed Khazar. And that is because... you just dont convert your allies villages. :) Good solution _____________ Do as the slavers say and bring them some animals in order to free the villagers. These are the animals you can trade for the slaves. You can use the same kind of animal twice. * Lion, 2 slaves :On the mountains close to the slavers * Wolf, 2 slaves :In the forest close to an indian village. Which is near the beach temple puzzle. * Horse, 1 slave :About everywhere. * Turtle, 1 slave :On the islands outside the temple. Reward: Wolves miracle dispenser. Evil solution _____________ Why would a god have to listen to some humans? They are YOUR villagers, get them back! But be aware, since the slavers will charge into you village and start to burn buildnings and kill villagers if you don't stop them. This is easily done by picking up one of them *PAUSE* and double-tap spacebar to get to the temple. And then sacrifice every single one of them. Reward: Nothing. *********************************************************** IV.2.6 The Riddle *********************************************************** Location: In the indian village close to the beach temple puzzle. Good solution _____________ Place a creature poo, a burning rock or a burning tree and a wolf in the circle. Then cast physical shield. It can be a little bit hard to have the wolf STAY inside the circle. But this can be remedied by placing a villager inside the circle as well. This will make the wolf eat the villager And stay in the circle and not run away. Reward: The Zebra creature. Evil solution _____________ "But do we really want a Zebra?" Wreck the womans house. That is all you can really do I think. Reward: Nothing. *********************************************************** IV.2.7 Beach Temple Puzzle *********************************************************** Solution ________ If you have any problems with this really easy quest you are free to mail me. Reward: Increase Heal miracle to anyone that is near the temple. *********************************************************** IV.2.8 The cow-stealing children *********************************************************** Location: The celtic village in the snowy mountains. Good solution _____________ Really, there arent any good solution for this one. The only way to get the reward is to kill any of the children. Bringing the cows to the farmer wont work since it seems like he cant protect his own cattle. So, kill one of the kids! When the child's friends sees what will happen to them if they keep stealing cows they will stop. Just injuring any of them wont work. You have to kill someone. Or you can just ignore the quest. Reward (if you kill any of the children: Increased lightning miracle at the village center. Evil solution _____________ Kill one of the children to finish the quest. Or if you are on the children's side, kill the farmer. Reward (if you kill any of the children: Increased lightning miracle at the village center. *********************************************************** IV.2.9 The Idol *********************************************************** Location: Outside the second village on a half-island. Good solution _____________ Place a rock or a tree right next to the idol and then cast a fireball on it. The heat will soon be able to destroy the idol. Reward: Increased fireball at the village center. Evil solution _____________ KILL, KILL, KILL everyone that is worshipping the idol. Then destroy it in the same way as above. Reward: Increased fireball at the village center. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IV.3 Land 3 The third island only have two silver scrolls. And both of them are quite easy. IV.3.1 The guru (and the yogi) *********************************************************** Location: Outside the japanese village. (the first village you'll convert.) Good solution _____________ Just follow the yogi (guru) to his place of meditation. There are two trickyplaces where there is a risk that he'll spot you. The first is just after the first checkpoint. When he is standing among some mushrooms and right after that. The second is just after the second checkpoint. When he walkt under a big rock. A trick when following him is to pause the game and move around when paused. Extremly useful on slow computers. (believe me) Reward: He will give you help at some points in the game. 1. When you have taken over the first village and Lethys have put some villagers on fire he will give you two one shot water miracles. 2. When you have taken over the second village he will turn some of the wolves into cows. 3. When you are after the third village he will give you a wonder. NOTE: Some people may say that he also place various one shot miracles around the map. But this is NOT TRUE. Sure, there will appear a lot of one shot miracles after some time. But it's not the guru (yogi) that is causing it. Um... here's the scoop. It's LETHYS! Remember what the hermit told you in land 1 how fireflies turn into one shot miracles when they are under trees at day? And since the third village has such a great influence. Lethys can actually steal trees from you that is within your influence. And because there are fireflies resting under the trees... well, you get the point. Evil solution _____________ Actually, there is an evil solution, though it's quite hard to accomplish. Either you can wait until late in the game when your first village have so great influence so it reaches all the way to the yogis walking path. And when you trigger the quest. Throw rocks at him to make him die. Or you can use the annoying actor, which actually has influence for you to use around himself. You can move him to the gurus walking path. And in that way being able to kill him. Though these are just speculations. I havent tried any of them myself. If you have, please mail me and let me know the results. EDIT: I just tried this solution. But it didnt work. The guru's health dropped to 0%. But he was still alive. Which means that there are no evil solution. Reward: Nothing. *********************************************************** IV.3.2 The ... rewinder? :) *********************************************************** Location: Outside the third village. A small hut. Good solution _____________ Just bring her grown up villagers (above the age of 18) until she gets dizzy. Then bring her a child. Reward: The chimp creature. Evil solution _____________ Wrecking her hut will just give you a comment from her telling you to leave her hut alone. Kill her to get a comment from evil saying that he would probably have done the same thing. Reward: Nothing. *********************************************************** IV.3.3 The annoying man *********************************************************** Location: Between the yogi and your first village. This isnt really a quest. But a lot of people (including myself) wonder why he is there. There isnt any way to kill him, believe me. Some people will say that sacrificing him will kill him. But this is not true! Or if it is, it wont work on my comp. When I try to sacrifice him all that happens is that he gets stuck in that "Prayer Power thingy". :) Also, the witch refuses to turn him into a child (no wonder, imagine him as he is now. Now imagine him as a little brat, scary). Also, if you throw him into the vortex he will NOT appear on the other side. At least I havent found any proof of this. If anyone finds a way to kill him, mail me! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IV.4 Land 4 Island number four only has two silver scroll quests. But also two puzzles. A totem puzzle and a "wolf puzzle". Some people can find the wolf puzzle to be very hard. But I tell you. After a while you'll get it. The totem puzzle is actually very hard to finish. But you'll eventually finish it. The reward is a spiritual shield miracle dispenser. IV.4.1 The fisherman *********************************************************** Location: Behind the gates, close to the totem puzzle. Solution ________ Since there are no evil solution, I will only give you a solution. It might be easiest to slow down the speed.. Do this by pressing ALT+1, go back by pressing ALT+2. Then just follow the little kid's instructions. Reward: The turtle creature. *********************************************************** IV.4.2 The healing sister. *********************************************************** A BIG NOTE: In version 1.0 this quest cannot be completed. You'll have to download the offical 1.1 patch to completely finish it. Location: A farm outside the Aztec village. Good solution _____________ Just guide the sister through the path. Throw away the wolves. Or give them to your creature. There are two ways to avoid the forest fire. Either put the fire out with water miracles. Or just throw away the burning trees. The ogre is the easiest part of the path. There are many ways of avoiding him. Either have your creature fight him and kill him and he wont bother you ever again. Or you can let him live. And catch all the rocks that he is throwing at the sister. Or you can just pick up the rocks that he is casting before he casts the. Reward: The wolf creature. Evil solution _____________ Since it doesnt seem to be any way for you or your creature to pick up the sister. Your creature cant eat her. Not helping her would also be quite evil. And letting her be eaten. Or you can crush her with a rock or whatever. Reward: Nothing. INFO REQUEST: Does anyone know if the strange looking forest outside the hut where you can select special creatures have any function? Mail me! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IV.5 Land 5 Land 5 doesnt have many quests either, in fact, it only has 3. And no one is very tricky. You may have noticed that I don't have the quest that will allow you to switch to the polar bear. That is because the quest is finished at the same time you trigger it. It can be found in a hollow in the stranded ship next to your norse village. IV.5.1 Stanley the wolf *********************************************************** Location: East of your temple, north of the workshop. Solution ________ This quest can be tricky the first minute you do it, but you'll soon understand it. The solution is (with the "cancel bell" in the lower left corner): * South bell * East bell * North bell * West bell * North bell * West bell * South bell * East bell Reward: The lion creature. *********************************************************** IV.5.2 The sickening smell *********************************************************** Location: In the neutral Japanese village. You'll have to convert it for the quest to appear. Good solution _____________ Just clean the forest of poop. It's not hard at all. Just find the brown things and pick them up and they will automaticly disappear. When evil says that there are only one left. The last one will be found in the "oasis". Reward: The brown bear creature. Evil solution _____________ Since you cant throw the poop. The only thing left to do is to burn down the forest. Or make the smell even worse by having your creature poop in the forest as well Reward: Nothing. *********************************************************** IV.5.3 The dragon knights *********************************************************** Location: Outside the Tibetian village. The one with the spiritual shield. Good solution _____________ First you have to heal them. This isn't hard at all. Just use a heal miracle on them. Next thing to do is to burn down the pile of wood. Do this by using a fireball miracle. Then, you can follow their quest by zooming in to the craters. Do this until you'll get a sequence. If you have zoomed into a crater and nothing happened. You have probably missed an earlier crater. Or you haven't heard everything in an earlier crater. Reward: Flying creatures miracle dispenser. Evil solution _____________ I haven't tried this myself, if you have, mail me! You can always try to, instead of healing the adventurers, burn them. Feed your creature with them (if you can pick them up, not sure about this). Throw rocks at them. ...Mega-Blast Reward: ???? (Probably nothing) ********************************************************************************************************************** V. Frequently Asked Questions These are questions asked by some of my friends who just bought the game. They said they couldnt get the info anywhere on the net. I doubt that. But will answer them anyway. :) Q) How do you increase your influence? A) There are three ways. The easiest is just to have you villagers breed and in that way. Get more villagers. So your influence is in a way determined on how many villagers you've got. The Second way is to build a wonder. The third way, which I am not 100% sure of, is to get more belief in one of your villages. And that willage will give you more influence. But I said, I am not 100% sure about this. Q) Is there any differences between the creatures? A) Sure there are! Read Masked Moogles FAQ for more info. Q) How do you convert a village?????? A) Hehe, you can either do it by yourself. And that is, by casting miracles or dropping artefacts into the village. I find the best miracles to gain belief with is: Food, Wood, Heal (increase) and flying creatures. Teach those to your creature if you want him to convert villages. Which is, in my opinion, a lot more easier. The easiest way to get fast belief is usually by dropping artefacts or by using flying creatures miracle. Q) What is an artefact, where can I find them? A) You don't find artefacts, you create them. You do that by dropping a rock in one of your own villages. Then wait until the villagers have danced around it and your symbol is shown above the rock. Q) Isn't there any easier ways to teach your creature than to play skirmish? A) Sure. There is a map at www.planetblackandwhite.com called "Creature Growth 101". Which is great for teaching your creature miracles. Q) When you press "S" and all the villagers assignements are showing. What does the A: 76, L: 98% and F: 87% means? I see it's different by each villager. A) A: 76 represents the villagers age, in this case showing he is 76 years old. And will probably die of old age very soon. L: 98% shows how much life the villager has left. When at 0%, the villager is dead. F: 87% shows how hungry the villager is. At 0% the villager is _very_ hungry. Though it doesnt seem to have any effect on the villager. If anyone knows, mail me. Also, some people say that F = Fatigued. I.E how tired the villager is. But this is wrong. I did a test to see what was right. I picked up an F: 0% villager. Dropped a pile of food in front of her. She ate it. And suddenly, F: raised from 0% to 60%! Also, the F: also seem to go down (66,,, 65,,, 64,,, ect). Not up, as it would if F: stood for tiredness. Also, if you see an S: after the F:87% it means that the villager is sick. And need to be healed. If it is a P: after the F:87% it means that the villager is pregnant (if you find this on a male villager...) Q) What is the storm miracle for? A) The standard storm miracle is useless if you want to attack. And should only be used for village impressing. The improved storm adds lightning bolts to strike down on villagers and buildings. Setting them on fire. The extreme storm adds tornadoes. Remember Nemesis' attack on your first village on land 1? Remember that the storm miracle is considered aggressive. Even the standard one that does nothing but creates rain. So dont use this to impress villages if you want to be entirely good. ********************************************************************************************************************** VI. Final words from the author. This was my first guide/FAQ ever. I really hope you like it and find it useful. Feel free to mail me with suggestions, tips, feedback or whatever. My address is: [email protected] The next three weeks I'll be online as good as every day except weekends. After that I will be online less than once every week. But I'm not sure about this. I may just be able to check on my mail a little more often. We'll just have to see. Note that version this version, 1.0, is the final version, but not really. :) This FAQ was first meant to cover all of the silver scrolls. But since now I don't have anything to do on the days. I feel that I want to write more. So expect more updates on this FAQ. But maybe not just as often as they have been now. I might add some info on the creatures. Land 1-5 walkthroughs. And some more miscellaneous info. Or maybe I'll just write another FAQ. So, keep looking at GameFaqs from time to time. Maybe you'll eventually find a new FAQ by me. You'll never know. :) The End
