You can recruit Kahmu the Dervish hero after you beat him in the Norn Tournament.
Cowboy Nastyman
your guide incorrectly lists level 8 norn as slayer of gods 64000, the correct title is slayer of champions and is 80000

The Zealous weapon applies on your primary EN regen. As such, using a form will get you the normal -2 degen, nullifying the degen effect of the Zealous Mod.
So basically, you'll be using the Zealous mod without the drawback. Could be a bug.

Olaf just gave me an invitation to attend Alemoot - a Norn drinking competition. I haven't beaten it yet because it gets quite silly...
Drink ale from two barrels.
Carry three kegs of ale to a kegstand, one at a time.
Drink ale from two barrels.
Run a slalom through some stone columns.
(by now the screen is all shimmery from the ale you've consumed)
Herd three pigs into a pen.
... I fail at the pigs every time. You have 3 mins to complete all of these tasks plus any i haven't encountered yet. :P
good luck!

good luck! I actually got lucky with this. I was running out of time and only had one pig in the pen. Then all of a sudden two pigs were in front of me, in the entrance of the pen, and I just barely managed to get them in before the clock hit 0. The follow up quest is rather funny. If your character is female, Olaf proposes. I wonder what happens with male characters.

It tells you to beat Olaf's time. I didn't notice how much time you have though because I didn't see the timer restart since I was seeing if there was anything else to do.

Don't suppose that counts towards your Drunkard title does it?

Unfortunately not, I /fail at this quest completely.

I didn't get any follow up to that quest with regards to doing it again to beta Olaf's time(Male Char).
Did get a proposal from his daughter to kill a worm moss in Jaga Moraine, but you kill it, go back and she says your too good for her and now she'll have to live alone etc etc

Some players using Intel graphics chips have found that after loading Boreal Station, their client now crashes when under graphical stress. This is due to a driver failure (in which the driver either stops or becomes caught in an infinite loop), which requires a full system reboot and causes a message stating that the system has recovered from a serious system error. There is no known fix at the time, but keeping movements and camera rotations to a minimum when one's frame rate is low (during loading, etc.) minimizes the frequency of the error. Reducing some ingame graphics options (F11) can also help. Unlike the "boot camp" error, crashing can occur at virtually any time.
I got that error, thanks for letting me know its not my comp lol. i was about to buy a new card

Just wanted to say that I bought Guild Wars: Prophecies earlier today and the clerk also gave me a Preview DVD for Eye of the North, which includes the 3 exclusive weapons and the rest of the event stuff.

Pretty sexy looking. Got it out of the chest in the dungeon of the kinslayer.
I'd say 2 runs through in 2 hours, 5k gould, 2 skill points and 3 diamons plus that are worth my time.

For the Alemoot quest, it is possible to simply body block 3 pigs into the pen before you even talk to Sif. this will complete the quest and get you the reward.
it can take a while though.

It’s over; got a return trip back to Ascalon City.

If you had vekk etc in your party when the event was over, you are unable to fill another hero in their place and cannot use that hero either.
To fix this problem go to Random Arenas or any area where heroes are not permitted and this will fix the problem. Then you can use the occupied hero slot again.

Happened to me and two guildies in same party. Took me half a dozen tries to get in. One guildy made it second try and the other took eight tries. We all got seperated from party and had to regroup when we finally got into Olafstead.

Many thanks for this fix Seissor - it was driving me nuts trying to figure out how to get heros back into my party!

Yea, I saw the white moas - they do indeed spawn and sprint - didn't have my ranger so not sure how "catchable" they are.
Seissor
they are not tameable as pets. They have light green text, the same as an NPC. If they had a darker green text like that of a player/ally then they would be tameable.
But perhaps there will be a quest in the future/full game that allows you to find and charm one.

the great norn alemoot one was a weird quest, i completed it the first i tried, and i was reading everything. i got to the pigs with 17 seconds left, there were 2 already inside and one on the door XD lol
but the one that gave me the quest was olafs daughter, the same that gives u the raven point dungeon quest. Since some friends reported getting it with olaf, then it can only mean one thing: Gender quest. If ur char is male, u get from olafs daughter, that then will give another quest, then a last one wanting to marry u and ull have to get out of it. seems to be the same way for female chars, but with olaf giving the quest. since i dont have any lvl 20 female chars at olaf, i couldnt check this on my own, if the quests are the same, but if anyone there does, the daughter quests were alemoot, then one to kill a bear with a club 15-15, then one to kill a leviathan near frostmaws entrance.

here is a pic, unfortunately the moa is behind jora but there is enough there to remove some doubt

Speaking of pets, anyone know what are viewed as the generic "Animal Companion" and what pets we can actually display?!?
Seissor
End game Factions Phoenix, UW Spider would be elite pets. Don't know about the others. Maybe bears?

In case you missed it, Polymock was not available or playable during the preview, thus the reason its NOT included in this guide.
