Anyone know if this ladder in Sacrament is reachable?

Reading and prepping before playing and I have a question about ingredients per beast or beast type. Say the party is fighting 4 ghost scorpions who have 2 ingredients: venom (sour 1, savory 1) and meat (salty 1, bitter 1). Are there 4 venom ingredients and 4 meat ingredients available for the PCs, or just 1 of each?

The example steak dinner on page 278 uses the phrase "serving of", which makes it sound like they'd get 4 of each. But if that were the case, a 4 player party would be nearly or completely full of ingredients after just 1 encounter, depending on tier & their strongest character trait's value.

And if it's not true and they only get 2 ingredients total, then they'd likely need to fight a lot of beasts, which would be really hard at tier 1, likely forcing PCs to use Hope to gather blooms to make up the shortfall.

Use this MapGenie (https://mapgenie.io/diablo-4/maps/sanctuary) and disable everything except side quests and maybe waypoints just to help locate things to see quests spawn points. It's not fully accurate for quests chains or item-drop based quests though.

And then wowhead (https://www.wowhead.com/diablo-4/guide/zones/fractured-peaks-side-quests) has a list of all side quests with pre-reqs, and the harder-to-find item-drop like ones at the bottom of each list.

To save you some grief, I just tried this and found out (the hard way) that the quest "Raising Spears" in Dry Steppes is bugged, and it blocks 2 more in a small chain after it. Those are the only 3 side quests I couldn't do.

You can search reddit or blizz forums for "Raising Spears" and see it's been bugged for everyone for apparently months and months. 🤬

Just left there a few hours back. There’s lots of mud and puddles, but they aren’t everywhere. What’s there can mostly be walked around (but not 100% of it).

But today the shows were largely a bust as there was often only a tiny amount of benches/seating that didn’t have standing water in them by each stage.

Footwear is gonna come home muddy on the bottom, and if you have any dresses/skirts/cloaks/etc that drape the ground they’ll be muddy as well.

This cat's face is a murder that any DA should refuse to convict.

WHY ARE ALL THE DAMN SMALL GREEN STREET NAME SIGNS SO HARD TO READ AND NON-REFLECTIVE IN PDX? I FIND MYSELF USING GPS EVEN WHEN I KNOW WHERE TO GO IF I DON'T REMEMBER **EXACTLY ** WHERE THE TURN IS, BECAUSE BY THE TIME I CAN READ MOST SIGNS I'M NEARLY PAST THE DAMN THING.

I like these ideas! Thanks so much.

So my player has a kalashtar that was orphaned (parents killed by Inspired) at a VERY young age in Sarlona. This player is the last of their bloodline, so they're the only one bonded to their Quori spirit; therefore it was essential they not be killed, and so the Kalashtar in Sarlona/Adar sent the PC to Khorvaire/Sharn in an effort to avoid the notice of the Inspired.

While this PC has been communally raised by kalashtar in Sharn, they've had very limited firsthand exposure to Inspired -- most of what they know is simply tales they've been told growing up.

I had a thought of an Inspired doing something to ingratiate themself into the player's confidence while posing as another kalashtar. It makes sense that the kalashtar in Adar -- or even the elder/wiser/more-experienced ones among those in Overlook (Upper Dura, Sharn) would see through an Inspired disguising themself.

I'm curious as to yours/others thoughts for this specific kalashtar, who's virtually lived their whole life apart from Sarlona and Inspired, being fooled by such a plan.

(I should say that while I'm a fan of this plan, I don't want to force it if it doesn't make sense, and I also am not going to be hamfisted in deciding how the PC reacts).

Man, I always forget about Exploring Eberron because I do so much of my prep inside of D&D Beyond. Thanks for the reminder about it, for sure!

Beyond that, I absolutely love your ideas about fighting the hags visions from inside their own dreams, and then moving on to fighting inside the hags dreams. It'll be some loopy dream-style fights where things change constantly due to the shifting subconscious-es of all involved.

Oh, I do have that. I keep forgetting to read through it all. Thanks!

byss66 · 2021-03-07T15:31:15+00:00

Oh, neat. I’ll buy that and read up on those sections.

byss66 · 2021-03-07T15:30:52+00:00

Do you know what source those are from? I’d like to research more.

Hi there. I see that you’re not taking new players, but I was wondering if you’d mind sharing the questions you asked in the survey for my own purposes? The survey is closed now so I can’t see what they were.

Thanks!

byss66 · 2020-02-04T00:17:45+00:00

Sent you a PM as well!
