What should I have my apprentices make?
  • 1 of 8: After Teos comes and gives you your apprentices (Morul, Larz and Nara), they will ask you to assign them different tasks.  All of the items take 4 or 5 days to make.
  • 2 of 8: Note: Quicksave before you tell them.  If they say it will take "4 days" they will fail, but if they say "a few days" they will succeed, no matter what they're making.
  • 3 of 8: First they will ask you about 3 items which are Wand of the Apprenti (1000 gold), Dagger of [Your Name] (250 gold), or Ring of Protection (2500 gold)
  • 4 of 8: If you make a Ring of Protection, Larz will be vaporized.
  • 5 of 8: Second, you can make either a Scroll of Mislead (250 gold), Abi Delzim's Horrid Wilting (1000 gold), or Meteor Swarm (2500 gold)
  • 6 of 8: If you have them make Meteor Swarm, Nara will explode.
  • 7 of 8: Lastly, they'll ask if you want Robe of the Apprenti (250 gold, but kills Larz), Ring of Wizardry (3000 gold, but kills Nara and Larz), or Staff of Power (10,000 gold, but kills all Apprenti).  This time you have the option of "nothing," which is the only way all apprenti will survive.
  • 8 of 8: If they all survived, then Teos will come and hold a graduation ceremony, and you get 50,000 XP; if any die, you get no XP.
