Prisoner of Glouphrie, The

[Kimberly]

Not so much a correction but a suggestion.

 

Step 14 of the quest leaps straight into an example of how to complete the puzzle. And it's a good example but the interface isn't explained at all. It doesn't follow the normal order of most guides, or what a reader would expect. It can actually trip up the casual reader into thinking they'll need the coins listed in the example to solve their puzzle.

 

This can be cleared up in many ways, I'm sure. But what I was expecting, having used a lot of Tip.it's guides for my questing needs, was a brief explanation of the interface, an example for those who don't want the answers, and then the list of possible combinations.

 

After you finish building the crate, it needs calibration. Clicking on it will bring up an interface with three color wheels with number values above each one. Overlapping your inventory will be a list of 42 different coins that match the color spectrum (Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet). The number above the color wheels represents the total intensity required. On either side of the Total Intensity box are coin slots; you can place your coins here by selecting them first from the coin list on the right hand side of your screen, then clicking one of these coin slots. The color beneath the Total Intensity is the color you need to match, and the color beneath that is the color your two current coins create.

 

Note: The Total Intensity values for each wheel are different for every player.

 

At this point, if you want to match the number in your Total Intensity box to the possible combinations list below to find out which coins you need, scroll down to step 14b [[Or whatever step it will be that has the solution list]]. If you're trying to solve this on your own, proceed to step 14a [[Then lead into the explanation currently on the page]].

 

Adding an explanation of how the coin's intensity value is calculated would be helpful for the listed example, because it's not exactly clear how to start combining coins...but I don't know how that works (without checking a 3rd party source) :$

I just finished this quest and I agree.
