Identity Crisis?

"I'm using Charm Animal on Joe!"

anyways IIRC isnt there a quest by piken (post) were you have to save Mac and Joe? I swear I remember seeing him in Post Searing Ascalon, oh well it was a long time ago....

He appears near piken and also in the shiverpeaks near beacons.

guys you forgot oberan the reviled the necro trainer who teaches curses kasha blackblood ask you to kill him cause he goes on a power trip



my favorite quests

There is a hunt for Veratas, who I think is the first necro trainer you meet, but then you find out later what his intentions are, and they are not like oberans, which npc's were accusing him of

Too bad mac doesnt come to hells precipice

Ok well, all this talk about NPCs showing back up after the searing had me wondering about everyone else. So...I complied a list of most, if not all, of the NPCs and Merchants in pre-searing and where they can be found in post-searing. Hope you all don't mind.

Merchants

Arnaud - Ascalon City.
Elias - Frontier Gate.
Gram - Still at Fort Ranik.
Hamish - Ruins of Surmia.
Laren - Ascalon City, sporting a new hairdo.

Miller Upton - Unknown, probably dead.
Namar - Unknown, probably very dead.
Necromancer Munne - Sardelac Sanitarium.

So, there you have it. I hope. If I left anything out feel free to correct me. My fingers hurt from all that typing! lol

Wheres oink?

^ lol

Isn't he the pig that is roasting over an open fire in Yak's Bend?

He IS all powerful...

Duke Gaban in the one who briefs you on the Fort Ranik mission I believe.

Yeah, with a change of hair too (he goes grey)

i thought ambassador zain gives you a quest to kill him ... hes in regents valley

Oh yeah. I believe there's a bandit named Torin. However, whether the Gate Guard crossed over to the *ahem* dark side or not, I've no idea.

How could oink be in Kryta, narrowly surviving the undead attack AND be roasting in Yak's Bend at the same time? Unless...PARALLEL UNIVERSES! Speaking of which, when is that pig in Yak's Bend going to be ready to eat? It's been months...

You forgot tto mention that haversdans lost about 10 pounds since the searing

Yeah Gate Guard Torin and Bandit Torin are two different people, as far as I can tell. They look entirely different.

I'm going to pretend that Orion Elek and Orion the henchman are two different people. 1.) Because Orion Elek was a whiny push-over and 2.) because Little Thom, Devona, Cynn and the other heros who become henchmen don't lose any part of their name when they become henchies. Why wouldn't it be Orion Elek [Dumb Mage Henchman]...? I can't see any reason for the developers to suddenly drop the last name. So, two different people.

For the record, the henches did have last names in Beta.

Orion from pre is Orion the hench.

Whiny git.

Ok groovy. I learned something new today. They still look like two different people to me though. But then again its been a long time since I've been in pre-searing...Oh well.

Wasnt just available to mesmers, anyone who kills the bull gets Old Mack running over asking where his bull is.

I could be wrong but I think Torin might be in one of the early missions. A bonus perhaps? I'm not positive I just seem to remember seeing his name elsewhere than the bandit Torin.

Yeah Bandit Torin and Gate Guard Torin is the same guy. No doubt about it

Same as Orion as well.

I believe you can find Paulus' ghost in UW. (my bad, i just checked and I'm wrong)

1) Elementalist Aziure uses Ward Against Harm, not Ward Against Elements. She teaches you Ward Against Elements in Old Ascalon, where you have to kill five stone pushovers.

2) Lol.
