Black Mountains Who is there?

[DeletedUser3543]

So after you finish Black Mountains Possibility x this quest line is done??

Yeah.

When you go back to Mugridge in the saloon and show him the treasure he runs off with it.

You then get three choices - from the Sheriff - Duel Mugridge, Have skill points high in two skills [can't remeber which], or do nothing.

I did nothing and let him have the treasure, and got an extra 450XP, but no money.

You get the adventurer hat for all 3 choices.

Ιn few hours (after 18.00 server time) i will choise the 2nd Decision.
25 skill points in Hiding and Fine Motor Skills.
The reward is 450 XP, the Hat, 1 attribute point towards Mobility, 5 skill points towards hiding, a Mustang horse and $10.961 cash

 

[DeletedUser]

I'll be dueling Mugridge. The cash is a little lower. But 10 skill points are worth more than 5 skill points and 1 attribute point.

But you only get them in dodging and appearance.

However, I suppose with the 9000odd bucks you will have plenty of change left over if you pay to re-arrange them...

 

[DeletedUser3543]

This should make for a nice experiment, as I'm heading over there with my world 5 trading adventurer.

About the only stat shared with W2 is appearance of 55. Maybe this will make the difference?

 

[DeletedUser3543]

Nope. No good.

Duelled him twice and lost twice.

Scored some useful hits but took too much damage

Gonna need to increase my dodging before I try him again!

It also seems that there will (or should) be negative consequences further down the road by choosing the easier or more lucrative decision in any quest, like not choosing Waupee's way in the level 25 Decision.

Sure they are Violette
But i need now more Hiding and mobility than apperance and dodging, since i'm trying unlock "Grave Robber" job

As MisterGadilf says though, you can easily move the points to where you want them with the money that you get.

I did not get the riding skill increase promised for completion of the first quest from this fellow.. 18 riding skill before and 18 after..

Are you referring to the 'Let's start the adventure' part? And did you have the compass equiped in your product window (the one below your weapon)? If you did, that is why you didn't notice any gain. The compass gives you +3 horseback riding when you equip it in your product window. And since it would go away at the same time you complete the quest that would explain it.

Just out of curiosity, for those of you who had problems beating the scoundrel(s), what were your dueling stats like and what kind of weapons did you use?

I used the whip we got from the class quest and I had no issue what so ever beating those scoundrels. I already got my indian's gold, along with $134 from beating various scoundrels.

I took very little damage from them and my dodge wasn't even that high.

 

[DeletedUser]

I got absolutely caned and had to go and spend 6k on some boots, as well as some more on re-skilling. That was with a Precise Deringer. My dueling stats were all very low, though.

 

[DeletedUser]

So, I suppose I should keep the whip, huh? Don't sell it for a weapon that has higher stats?

I would keep it and not risk needing it for a quest that's added later. There's also gear sets. If the bonuses for a full set are good, it'll definitely be worth keeping. Of course that's all speculation.

 

[DeletedUser]

I used the whip 3 times against one of the scoundrels and lost all 3 times. Unluckily I was out of town and lost jut over $6000 :wackob: Only once did I get anywhere near him though....

 

[DeletedUser]
