Might and Magic IX Hints
Thronheim
1 of 6: Yeah, I know you're probably anxious to get to Thjorgard and get your wimp initiates promoted, but a two-day layover in Thronheim can be beneficial enough to be worth doing.
2 of 6: As you're going around the city and doing the usual stuff, fire Alvar the Clumsy and hire Cleirach A'Lyrae (unless you care more about item repair than you do about identifying items and a 10% XP bonus).
4 of 6: After talking to the lady in the bank about the "Get the Orbs of Linking" quest, head on over to the Inventa Storca dungeon and pick up six linking orbs. That way you'll have them when you visit all the towns from now on.
5 of 6: That's about all you can do here, though you can try to take down all the vampires that are hanging around the entrance to the Connecting Tunnel. (But don't enter the tunnel, since it takes a day to get in for some reason.)
6 of 6: When you're ready, sail for Thjorgard on the 24th.
