cure for ageing
 

Gidday, any clues to where I can get ageing cured? can you?
thanks

That is a Quest where you need some Preparation:

You can cure your Ageing with the Fountain of Youth in B2. But to use it you will need to raise it first in Pyramid of Storage in A2, but to enter it you need the Golden Pyramid Key Card.

To get it you need 50 points in Might and also swimming and mountaineer, then go to A4 on sole Mountain in Sea. Break it and use it to enter the Pyramid.

The rest you can solve yourself. ^_^

Just a few general hints, since I've started playing this, again:

1) Remember, spell effects die at 5 AM each day. If you're in the middle of a dangerous area around 3 or 4 AM, consider backing out with spells or a nice, swift walk while whistling innocently.

2) Until you get high level characters, grab the blessings from the Fountain Head Temple. Keep donating until the icons appear on your team portraits. The more donations it takes, the better, since it means you're better protected. Around +4, one of my party members was still being affected by insane screams. At +7, that never happened.

3) Grab Wizard Eye by leaving Fountain Head, and heading left, then right. The gypsy will give you a cast for a day for next to nothing.

4) Save before opening chests. The earlier M&M titles were a lot more randomized in the quality of their loot than the later ones.

5) Remember, experience is just about endless, but cash isn't. So don't take advantage of the fixed fountain that allows you to exchange cash for experience.

6) Check city stores daily, as stock changes. At the beginning, look each day for short bows. Make sure every party member you've got who can use one, has one.

7) If you've got a decent temple blessing, you can handle the goblins outside the first town without problems, and the orcs, too. Just don't stray too far, since time passes much more quickly outside a city and dungeon than in them.

8) Don't bother with hirelings. They cost, and they add little to your party. Anything you can do with them, you can do without them.

9) Once you can travel over the mountains, be sure to walk along mountain chains. There are frequently items, sometimes nice ones, hidden in them.

10) Area B1 has a 1-square island fountain that provides a day's worth of raising your party's levels. Set a Lloyd's Beacon to it first, because everything else you add on in the way of hit points and spell points will be boosted by this.

I could add a lot more that's specific, but would rather not. Most of the fun lies in finding things out. ;)

Possibly my favorite game of all time. I've been playing this game since probably 1993 or so.

Anyway, here are some Grand Master secrets for you.

Execute my plan in order if you desire absolute power! :rocks:





That's about it for now. I'll be working on another hint guide for World of Xeen and updating this post if I remember anything else.

Enjoy!

Might & Magic III and World of Xeen Soundtrack
 

I'm in the process of recording and editing all of the music in Might & Magic III and World of Xeen. Most of the tracks I'll let play out for a good ten minutes, so it's gonna be an epic soundtrack worthy of these awesome games.

If you want a copy, PM me and I'll hook you up when I'm done.

Peace!

wow will be neat, post here and let us know when it's ready

@beefmerciful: Barbarians are far more powerful than knights in MM3.

Lost all my gold
 

OH - MY - FUCKING -GOD!!! I lost all my gold, 15 MILLION!!! By digging the false gold in the Greywitch castle dungeon. I love this game to death but how is this a good game design? REALLY pisses me off. And there's only one save game available... Jesus H Christ people... This is so depressing...

There's a bank in the game where you're supposed to put your money so it doesn't get lost. The money increases incredibly fast there.

You can get as much gold as you want by duplicating items. Take a recharge item, a duplication item and a platinum plate armor and soon you'll have more money than you'll ever need.

PS:
1) No one forced you to save after the message that you lost all your gold.
2) You can back up your save as often as you want.
3) Quite the only way to mess up your game is touching crystals which let one year pass in the pyramids too often.
