Champions of Norrath: Realms of Everquest Hints X (PS2)

Get the resetting shops

Champions of Norrath: Realms of Everquest is a video game created by Snowblind Studios, and published by Sony Online Entertainment in 2005. Developed only for the PlayStation 2 gaming console from Sony, it was classed as an action title with a dark medieval theme that sought to introduce some light role playing game elements, and it is played from a third person perspective. The game is a direct sequel to Champions of Norrath and the action is set yet again in the EverQuest universe. There is an evil power, Innoruuk, that was destroyed, after which his shards were scattered over the Planes of Power. The quest that the player undertakes is to collect all the shards, and then decide whether he wants to be good and destroy them, or go down the dark path and restore Innoruuk back to life.  Although most reviewers stated that the story of the game was rather weak, with forgettable characters and uninteresting levels, the level-up elements and the weapon selection in the game are well done. There are various enemies that require certain tactics to take down and, furthermore, we could say that the combat in the game might be its strong suit.  Champions of Norrath: Realms of Everquest offers two more races than the original release, and there is also an option to import a character that you have completed the original game with. GAMEPLAY HINTS Alternate costume Equip female character with the Elven Patchwork Armor. Then, unequip the legging. This works best with the Elven Cleric. Resetting a shop easily Instead of running to the portal and warping twice to reset a shop, use the following trick to do it without having to move, and only loading once each time. First, save the game. Each town has a save point near the shop, so it is not that far of a run. Once your game is saved, position yourself in front of the shopkeeper and see what he has for sale. If the shopkeeper is not selling something you desire, import your recently saved character over your current one and he/she will be loaded into the game. Once your character has been imported, the shopkeeper's stock will have reset. You can either drop the items you buy until you are ready to move on, thus saving money, or you can be honest and save after each purchase. If you import and the shopkeeper still does not carry what you want, just import over your character repeatedly until he has the desired item. While it may seem like a lot of work to import again and again, it is still easier than running to the portal and warping twice. Here's a video:
