Monster Island From: skydiver@bluemoon.rn.com (Ashley Taft) Date: Mon, 06 Jan 1992 12:50:23 +0000 Monster Island is a wonderful PBM from Adventures By Mail. I believe that the set-up is free...But don't quote me on that! Here is how to get in contact with them: Adventures By Mail P.O.Box 436 Cohoes, NY 12047-0436 (518)237-4870 (8:30AM-4:30PM Eastern) I am out past The Claw and Tooth Far Inn. I am desperately seeking the next one out...I have been putting off learning about the Purple Lotus Leaf Elixir, and think that I may need it in Kunbar. I also need a Far Inn that will train me in Whip. I have 155 Oculars, and nothing to spend them on! SPOILERS (But be warned, I know not what I do on this net! Just close your eyes!) 1) Tombs of Mumi are GREAT for getting treasures. Make sure that you have Leather Armor, and are skilled enough to use AT LEAST a Carved Club! That's how I cracked mine, and I was the first person to do so. 2) Tuvian plants ARE around. I've seen several of the buggers. Plants are strewn randomly, so just KEEP LOOKING. If you follow just a straight path, it may take forever for you to find one. If you find a place with lots of interesting things to do, explore it fully. I did, and I found 3 or 4 Zinki Bushes in a small area. 3) If you want to follow a God, choose wisely. Kabuki and Shroud demand that you kill a follower of the opposite God in order to become a Disciple. And it gets MUCH worse from there! Just ask Scott Todd! 4) Try to encounter as many different creatures as you can. Once you encounter something, you can USUALLY buy its parts from a Far Post. The Thermadon Rex is one exception...I'm still looking for another one of them! 5) Hillocks are good places to get stuff. Knolltir are tougher now than they were when I started, some 65 turns ago. I recently got a Short Sword off of a Knolltir, and some people have seen them wearing Barkbrute Armor. Enough of the idle banter! Where the hep am I gonna find a Far Inn, Porqubeast, Smite, and Tomb of Mumi? I'm about 14 North, and about 38 East of the Claw and Tooth.
