Answers: Brogar is annoying, I made the same mistake too. I actually went to Don Estaban then I came back and she was like "Don't tell the Don about this"
and I was like "...."

Lorenzo (The guy you killed with 1 mouse click) didn't like you stealing his cut of the gold. So he lured you away to kill you, or give him the cut of your gold. The only reason I would've felt bad is if I didn't already woop his *** in Arena and made a quick 100g.

The guy that you are looking for is like Olf or something, (the one that teaches prospecting) he is indeed a challenge to get to, because he is in Don's old house in Harbor Town. Which is proven difficult due to the fact that Warrior of Order are all over that particular house, there is a quest (That has to do with the Don trusting you a bit more before you can join him) that you can do that instructs you to go into the house and find an amulet. That is a good opportunity to talk to Olf (On the second floor) and learn prospecting.

--Begin Question--

I currently stopped playing my Bandit character, and started a Mage. I am having all sorts of difficulties at the Monastery. One, I need to find Master Abrax, in some dungeon..and I did everything I could..but still no luck. Then they want me to go to a dungeon and get a Fire Crystal..which I can't because I need the Nautilus Spell..which I need to find Master Abrax to learn. So I really could use some help at that.

Yeah, Lorenzo was worth the 100g. Hes an easy fight. (Maybe it was 50. I could be wrong. And Domingo was 100g ..I don't remember now)

The reason I stopped playing the Bandit is because Don Estaban sends you into Harbor Town..which is cool, but I have NO clue how to leave. As both guard gates refuse to let me out.. =(

hmm think u gonna have to spend allot of time doing all the quests and talk to all the people before u get to leave town again, i beleve someone said something about a posible thirth passage leading outside of the city but ill try find out tommorow, theres just so much to do lol.. got like 10+ side quests. also noticed a small boat laying in the water in harbor town, might be usable later? >.>

edit: i just read something that might be the solution. SPOILERu gotto do some order quests till u get a quest for smugglers, also patty has something to do with it, she wants to leave town. it seems the passage way outside town is at sonya's place anyway. u will be able to go trough there in the end but maybe u could lock pick it if u really want out that bad =p

lol nice tip ill remember that =p i heard another exploit was posible with that bandit dude giving u 70gold for 10 weed plants, u give him 10 weed plants, he gives u 70gold, u kick his *** and loot the plants (or pickpocket lol) and sell the weed again

do the guys with the staff keep dropping their staff over and over again? in that case your method works faster =p and seems somewhat more fair

Nope. You also get 30ish or so gold because you can loot em too. Once you knock em out they automatically take out a Club or a Branch (Spear)

Where is the SS folder for Risen? I take Screenies but can't find.


I am trying to play the game without exploits or anything, because I played Oblivion so badly with the consoles. :P


Yeah, 30ish gold + 60 x a whole city of those guards = alot.

Its a pretty nice tip, just be careful of big fights (Also the guards themselves drop swords that sell for 50g)
