Character Creation (cont.)

Promotion
Warrior Mage: The archer promotion is to warrior mage. This class not only improves hit points by one per level, it also improves spell points as well. Steagal Snick in Avlee gives you this quest. All you must do to complete it is go to the Red Dwarf Mines in Bracada and sabotage the lift mechanism so the foul creatures within cannot escape. You must battle the oozes on the ground floor of the mines and then take the elevator below to the basement level and fight medusas. When you find the control room, swap out the real belt within with the worn belt that Steagal gives you. Once you do that, you only have an hour to escape the mines before the elevator stops permanently, and you are irrevocably trapped inside. This translates into a little more than five minutes of real time. After you do that, just go back to Steagal, and he will promote you.

Master Archer: The master archer is the good archer. It gains two more hit points per level and one more spell point. It also lets you take your bow skill to grandmaster level. To get the promotion quest, return to Harmondale and speak to Laurence Mark. He orders you to retrieve the Perfect Bow from the Titan's Stronghold in Avlee. The stronghold lies in the countryside of Avlee. The outside of the stronghold is guarded by sprites and wyverns. Inside, of course, are titans and some dragons. If you think yourself powerful enough to tackle these juggernauts, go ahead and take them head on. Your best bet, though, is to cast invisibility and rush in and get the bow. Bring it back to Mark, and he will not only promote you to master archer rank, but also give you the Perfect Bow as a gift.

Sniper: The sniper is the evil archer, and you get to this rank by speaking to Steagal Snick again. This rank is basically the same as the master archer. Steagal's quest is identical to Laurence Mark's. Go to the Titan's Stronghold and bring Steagal the Perfect Bow. He will then reward you with a promotion.
