Help! Apprenti failed in making robe Options

[Mongerman]

Just got the robe of the apprenti. Funny thing is, whether or not it was successful, morul always states it will take 'tenday'.

For those having trouble forging, you might want to try this. I must have reloaded up to 20 odd times with no success. However, one time I forgot to give instructions before resting for around 4 days. Spoke to morul, gave the instructions, and lo and behold, I got the robe!

I repeated this, once giving instructions immediatly after they completed the scroll, another time letting them rest for a few days, and again they managed to forge the robe in the 2nd case.

Yes I agree with leonidas .
The machine of Lum the mad can be exploited for unlimited XP (a good solution would be to make the machine give the 100k of XP just one time).

There is also another point in ToB where you can have unlimited XP.
If you attack the Fire Giants from the tower in Saradush (with ranged weapons + script and the AI on).

Hi thetruth, just a question about the machine of lum the mad, are not all the effects a 1 time only thing? I could have sworn that I got one of the stat increases for my pc then tried another party member and it didn't work. Perhaps the xp gain does not work like this. I don't usually play around with that machine so probably wouldn't know what the hidden combinations do.

Hi thetruth, just a question about the machine of lum the mad, are not all the effects a 1 time only thing?

Not all of them.
Here is a list:

Here is a complete list of the valid combinations:

Triangle Green Medium > Storm Star +3 (Cespenar can upgrade)
Blue Green Long > Gain Magic Res.
Circle Blue Long > +1 INT
Square Blue Short > +1 DEX
Red Green Short > +1 CHA
Circle Square Triangle > +1 WIS
Circle Red Long > +1 CON
Square Short Medium > +1 STR
Triangle Red Medium > Exit to next level

Note: You can only do the Stat bonuses ONCE.

If you enter in an INVALID combination, you get some really bad random
effects (well, mostly bad):

10% chance to gain a Potion of Superior Healing.
10% chance to get 100,000 experience (only for whoever used it)
10% chance to become Imprisoned (bad if it's your main character)
10% chance for 50 fire damage
10% chance turned to stone (bad if it's your main character)
10% chance to lose 1 INT
10% chance for 75 lightning damage
10% chance to be poisoned
10% chance to lose 15 levels
10% chance to lose 1 DEX

With the right protections (prot. from Fire/Poison/Electr./petrif./level drain/imprison.) you can get the 100k XP rather quickly (reloading only in STATs loss).

PS: And the DEX loss + Gauntlets of DEX can be exploited in a similar way to that of the Rod of Terror + Ring of Human Influence (=CHA 25) for a permanent DEX of 25. (don't know if Sikret wants to do sthg about it too )

The exploit is blocked now.
