Walkthrough

You Say 'Hail Vurgo'

Vurgo says, 'Welcome! I am Vurgo, follower of Solusek Ro and holder of the [harvester] and the [Words of Darkness].'

You Say 'What harvester?'

Vurgo says, 'I can forge you one, but you will need to bring me the correct [scythe components].'

Hand Vurgo the Shadowed Scythe

Vurgo says, 'A Shadowed Scythe - well done. The only good Shadowed Man is a banished one. As the weapons of the Shadowed Man have a tendency to disappears, I have given you a note to remind me that you have indeed supplied me with a Scythe. Give me the note with the following items and I will forge you a Harvester: A Fungus Eye from a Mortuary Fungus in the Estate of Unrest, A Shadowed Knife from an Island Goblin Headmaster in the Ocean of Tears and fire opal. Give me these items, and I will forge for you a Harvester.'

• Your faction standing with Temple Of Sol Ro got better.
• Your faction standing with Shadowed Men got worse.

You gain experience!!

Hand Vurgo the Note from above, the Fungus Eye, the Shadowed Knife, and Fire Opal, all at the same time.

Vurgo gives you Harvester

• Your faction standing with Temple Of Sol Ro got better.
• Your faction standing with Shadowed Men got worse.

You gain experience!!
