Problem Mock!

You can NOT run part 1 of the Necropolis 3 times to upgrade your Silver Flame/Emerald Claw necklace. The only quest you can do 3 times to completely upgrade your necklace is the part 3 final quest. (Cursed Crypt I believe)

Really? I thought you could run any of the three multiple times to upgrade your necklace. Now that I think about it, I guess I did upgrade using Cursed Crypt...oh well, I'll correct it next week.

Just took the survey. Thanks for the link to that, Mock. Nice episode.

In regards to the new rings; The damage component only works for unarmed attacks, Non-damage components work for everyone.
