For those unfamiliar with the quests….
Quest npcs have different trigger words.
“Hail” “Hello” “Greetings”
There IS a healing delay from Instaheal. I changed mine in Blazin Healer from 5 to 20 to avoid restarting before bandage is complete.
As Junobo is saying in WC, you MUST get Scrooge first to get a chance at a totem. He is in the house N of gate as you enter.
If you want the powerup cloak(very helpful for newer players), get the quest in Moonglow near the tent. After you get it, step in flowers to find teleport into tent.
I have a runebook in TC, north end bottom that has locations for Elf and I “think” the cloak.
Can’t use Consecrate Weapon, but you can use Curse Weapon(necromancy).
Good luck and have fun!
