*You skid down the ladder, full with joy. You have heard so much about the Pentagram Quest, that you can't wait to try it. As you place your hands on the first door, the door which leads to the level 7 and level 8 demons, you feel a shock as -something- runs through your body. Your vision blackens, and when you can see again, the world is changed. You are below the earth. You seem to be in some sort of a cave system, with white pentagrams on the walls and ground, And demons. Lots of demons. But, since you were smart and had some training before you went in here, they are no problem to you. When they are all slain, you slowly walk towards a white pentagram on a wall. Not knowing why it is there, you try to examine it. You gently put your hands on it, and as you do that it starts to shine with blue color! You sense how exsperiance starts massing up, but you don't have it quite yet, But as you touched the Pentagram, three new demons appeard. They just came out from the from the wall. Still, you kill them easily. After you have touched a few Pentagrams, and felt that exsperiance being built up even more, you hear a steady voice say 'Solved'. And all the exsperiance rushes towards you. And more demons, too. Three demons, from every pent. Ouch.*
The
pentagram quest (pents) is the main way most characters gain experience (exp) while trying to level
(level). The pentagram quest is not
really a quest but more of a training ground. The pentagram quest can be found
to the east (bottom right of the screen) from the Aston blue squares by just
following the cobblestone pathh.. The entrance to the pentagram quest is a pit
with many steel doors lining the walls. To enter the pit shift + left click on
the ladder. When you are inside of the pit shift + right click on the
steel doors to see the level of the demons behind the door. Then enter the door
with the demons closest or lower then you level. Many a new player
(including me when I started) wanders into an pent area that is way to hard for
them (I ended up in the ice pents) and dying very quickly. Once you are inside
the pentagram quest their are many demons roaming around. The aim of penting is
to basically activate (activate by shift + left click) as many pentagrams as you
possible can to earn experience as fast as you can without dying.
You get a varying amount of experience depending on the difficulty of the area
you are penting for your 5 highest pentagrams activated and a few bonus exp for
each pentagram you activate. When a pent is activated the bonus exp (for
activating) is listed and the total exp (bonus + exp for 5 highest pents) is
listed on the bottom right hand corner of the screen. When the pentagram quest
is solved the player receives all the exp listed in the total exp section. When someone
solves the pentagram quest they receive a large bonus but the solve is it
is completely random, they just happened to activate a pent at the right time.
The pents usually solve when a reasonable amount of pents have been activated
depending on the number of people (to see how many people are in your mirror type /who ) in your pentagram server (pents are divided into two
servers). You can also get a lucky pent which is where you get a large amount of
bonus exp when you activate a random "lucky" pent. Their is also a
combo pent bonus, where you activate 5 pentagrams of the same colour. You then
can activate a 6ths pent and get total exp for it, on activation of the 6th pent
your total exp on solve is doubled. When the pentagram quest is solved it says training
level setting at *number*%. This percentage affects how powerful the demons are. To make the demons
weaker you need to kill the demon lords who are behind steel doors which always
face west *top left of the screen*. When you kill a demon lord the % goes
down and you get fairly good exp if you are killing the lord for the first time.
Their is also a chest inside the demon lord room which either has a +10 min
potion or a random amount of gold. To exit the pentagram quest exit the steel
door facing west that you enters the pents from. Their are also steel doors
facing north (top right of the screen, which leads to demon pents -6
level's lower) or a door facing south ( bottom left of the screen, which leads
to a +6 level higher demon pent area). To just pent two levels higher then the
area you are currently penting at just head east (bottom right of the screen)
and explore until you find a pathway leading to demons +1 or +2 levels higher
then where you are currently penting at.
