I now have three nicely rounded characters (the archer, the cleric and one sorcerer) and one sorcerer who has just attained Master in Water Magic but whose other skills are rudimentary. New Sorpigal is monster-free (apart from Gharik's Lab), with a handful of quests completed in other areas, notably the Wizard promotion quest - drink from the Fountain of Magic. This give the Water Master access to just about enough spell points to make Lloyd's Beacon usable. Now comes the work to accumulate enough gold to buy the spell!Incidentally, there's an Tavern in the far west of Ironfist near Snergle's Caverns - the Will O' the Wisp - which is supposed to have a couple of horseshoes associated with it. I can't remember the last time I found any there, but this time I did find one. I assume the other was dropped under the Tavern building, where I can't get at it *sigh*.
