Should I do the crusader promotion quest even if I don't want any crusaders?
  • 1 of 4: Why, yes!
  • 2 of 4: When you talk to Keith Bloodaxe in the temple about the promotion quest, go ahead and say that you have some people who want to be crusaders just so he'll give you the quest.
  • 3 of 4: Then when you get the dialogue box with your four characters listed, don't click on the lines that say your fighters want to become crusaders (unless you actually want them to).
  • 4 of 4: Then go complete the quest and report back to get all the experience points.
