Tips:
Paladin, Wizard and Fighter Steals
Upon using paladin, wizard or fighter, add some state for thievery so that you can gain extra money in the game.

Getting Infinite Items
Choose an item you want to duplicate in your inventory, and drop it. While it's still in the air, press 'I' to open your inventory again. The item will still be there. Go on with your dropping act. This trick cannot applied when the item hits the ground.

Max Out Honor
''bribe'' the guard and lose one drachma and get one honor point at Parrot Inn entrance when night comes. Repeat until you stop receiving honor points.

Some Honour boosting acts
> Give money to Cat musician (forgot name).
> Give flowers and candy to Nawar or other women repeatedly
> Find basket for Sarra
> Sneak into Atlantis without killing a soul (stealth like) and tell
queen of paladin way.
> Help Ann with her inn. Blackbird quest
> Tell Ann about wolfie after you show her picture of balloon
> Ring of Truth
> Catch bank robber and ask healer to heal back arm. Then tell him
about doing good deeds.
> Don't kill the General!!!
> Heal every one that the assian hits with a dagger.
> Arrest the scientists for drugging the wizards
> If you want you could give Elsa credit for killing the hydra

Thieving places
You can break into the house near the arena, u need a torch. Look around and u will find goodies to loot. Feraris's place can be entered later in game. Mess around and you will get it right. Try getting on top of his house from the house near arena. Thieves can only rob him if u give him the black bird so you replace it for a fake to win Chief Thief contest. Other than this, thieves don't have much to do here.

Robbing bank
>From the healers place, head up the stairs.. when u get halfway over, use stealth and sneak behind the guard. Blackjack him, dispose of body. And then use lockpicks on bank. Disarm trap, take money.
>More easy way? Okay, go to the bank and fasten the time till it reaches late night. Save your game and load it again. This time, the banker won't be there. Happy stealing.

Pegasus place
It is located on the top of the map, you can get feathers, and the special water from here. Jump on the seesaw, throw spells or rocks on big rock, and off you go flying! Get back using magnets. Magicians use spells, thieves use your hook.. further explanation ain't necessary, play it. Make sure you have more than 1 amphorae to fill with Hippocrene water here.
