    Probably the D'Arnise keep or the Planar Sphere

    I wasn't overly impressed with the Radiant Heart stronghold - other than getting Carsomyr it was pretty lame

    D'Arnise Keep

    aldekeuk, What does Radiant Heart have to do with getting Carsomyr?

    [I understand part of the Paladin stronghold quests is to kill Firkraag - BTA]

    My Favourite one is definatley the Bard Stronghold, i just like the idea of a hardened warrior being based at the local theatre.

    Very close to my heart too.

    Jack Funk...

    Radiant Heart is the paladin stronghold and like you said killing Firkaag is one of the quests for that stronghold

    The D'arnise keep or the Theatre no doubt. Those two quests does have some huge quests assigned to them.

    I like the theif stronghold. Also, can a multi class PC have two strongholds? My PC is a theif/mage, so I was wondering if I can get the Planar Sphere as well as the guild hall. :rolling:

    [​IMG] IIRC the only one that works like that is having the fighter stronghold and the mage one at the same time. i know it's possible but can't remember exactly how. someone else on the boards will be able to tell you how (or you could search :rolleyes: )

    [​IMG] IMHO, the thief Guild wasn't much to Huzzah for. I was really dissapointed, the only thing remotely challenging was "assassinating" Rayic Gethras (the mage), and even that was a doddle. I was playing with Improved Mages too.

    If only i could get this stupid Improved thief Stronghold to work!!! :flaming:

    The druid grove is nice and undemanding. :1eye: You get some nice items as well and have the honour to become a great druid. :p

    Just played as a thief and had my own guild, was ok I guess, but I don't think I got to see the very end, because I joined Bodhi's side...
    D'Arnise keep was ok, though not sure if I finished that either...
    Planar Sphere was boring, just tought a bunch of students, and so was Radiant Heart, basically the only major thing was getting Carsomyr.
    Haven't played the others yet.
     
  14. You gotta love the planar sphere.

    I would say nalias little caste is the best, its intresting, mediocre difficulty, gives some excellent items on the way (love the flail) you get gold, a seige, and other minor things, (like taxes, and minor quest like things) but yet the hardest one to get is the planer sphere.....

    [​IMG] I perfer the Keep, mostly because I don't typicaly need to be there.

    the keep is the best site because the quests are fun , you get to be in a seige, and because you dont need to always come back to it.

    [​IMG] Jeez, am I the only one here who likes the Ranger stronghold? Not only is it a fun quest to complete, but you get lots of free stuff in the ranger cabin. You have the respect of all of a nice little town. The cabin's a great place to rest! Ahh well, I guess it doesn't compare in size to the 'Keep.

    I think the ranger one is cool, never tried the bard or the thief, the De'arnise keep is okay. wasn't too impressed with the paladin hold. Liked the Planar sphere, clerics was quite good, before I lost it because I forgot which character I was on, druids was good, generally like them all :roll:

    When I had the Ranger Stronghold I had no reason to go all the way there so I barely even used it.
