- - going from SoA to ToB (http://www.ironworksforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19253)

I won SoA last night - There's a couple of things I was hoping you guys could help me with....(only read this if you've won SoA!)

After winning the game, you can not save. First off, ellesime gives you something - do you start of ToB with it? I'm assuming ToB starts with the assumption you killed Jonny Boy, but can you revisit the elf city?

Which saved game should I use to start ToB - my "final save" was before I completed hell...I want to make sure I import all my items such as Blackrazor and such. should you just import the save right before you confront Jon the final time? (my final final save).

Exp points/cap - the ToB book says you start with 2.5 mill. 5 of my 6 players were maxed out at 2.9, will I lose out on that 400,000 hard earned exp for those those guys?

Stronghold - can you visit your stronghold from SoA in ToB?

thanks!

1)Yes, you start ToB with the amulet of the Seldurine even if you created a character in tob.
2) You cannot re-visit Suldenesselar
3)Final save
4)You lose no experience at all
5)You get a new stronghold in toB and no, you cannot visit your old one again.

Hope it helps!

thanks a bunch for the input...

My "final save" was before my hell trials and before I got the blackrazor...will my save before I fought Jon ne the better one to import? I'd lik eto keep the sword, the cloak, and the Charisma improvements..

Is there any places you can revist in SoA (i.e Altaka) in ToB?

There are no places you can revisit that are in SoA in ToB...

I really don't consider the Pocket Plane a Stronghold. When I first heard about it, i thought each indiviual would get a stronghold like SoA.

If you have ToB installed then the game should start ToB as soon as the end movie for SoA is done... :confused:

I have been using Watcher's Keep (first floor) as my stronghold since its the only place that shows up in both games. This allows me to keep all my extra potions, scrolls and stuff safe and available in both games.
