LORE HELP!
 

  Looking for some help...What do I say to Iman of Adnastir? I say
King, help, Dolzan Garden but can't get anywhere.

        It's been a long time (and I didn't make note of the exact word) but
I'd suggest you try quest, herb(s) or Elrond.  I have to remember to
write down the key words (it would make helping people so much easier).

        It has been a while, but I think I said "herbs" or "quest".

 A problem is that the game difficulty is based on your level of experience.  And
 being now 24th level and trying to get through the 3rd quest to
 get the Second piece of the staff.  It's murder !

I'm level 36 but well enough equipped that the monster's (even the
blue dragon) wasn't too difficult an opponent.  I am (of course)
playing a magician which seems to make the best sense to me since I
can heal my other party members and don't have to run back to town
to get healed all the time.  If you need any help with the staff
pieces let me know (I've completed that quest) and I'll try to
'hint' you along.

 The fact that during combat you could wait fifteen minutes for the enemies 
 to take all their shots at you...

In my experience it was more dependant on the type of weapons you had...  and
the type of player, I was playing a spirit mage (?) and could do some serious
ass kicking with not much in the way of equipment (spells) but when I played a
stoneman, I killed things quickly early on, but then you needed some excellent
weaponry in order to kill anything...

Hmm, from memory the first piece you can buy from a merchant, the second piece
was in a dragon's cave...  needed a boat to get there too! :(

  I have a question. This may sound stupid. (what a shock?) I
  have played Lore many times and it looks like a very
  interesting game, but I can't seem to build enough money for
  weapons and the likenesses, how do I?

As I recall, starting out can be a somewhat slow process.  Initially,
King Daltorak sends you on a 'test' quest to Shaal and back.  I spent
my first few levels mostly travelling back and forth between Shaal and
the castle.  I play a magician so I learned a spell of healing from
the beginning.  There were no healing potions in the versions before
1.31 (that I had found) which help you get farther from the safety of
a healer.  Once you get comfortable with play and have a few levels
you can explore farther and try to perform the quest to heal Elrond.
The money is pretty slow building until you get up in levels and get
to face bigger opponents.   In the process of completing quests you
are awarded 'bonus' values which also help (acquiring the last piece of
the staff was worth 200,000).  For the most part you have to have some
patience and spend your money wisely.                    8-).
