I've started Gothic 2 gold and after a lot of exploring and levelling I've started Chapter 2. I'm playing through as a fire magician this time around but I've run into two problems:
a) How do I get access to higher circles of magic? Is it just a matter of progressing through the chapters?
b) Where do I get blank runestones from? Nobody seems to sell them. Can I find mage runes already mad?
Some other questions relating to the expansion:
c) All these stone tablets I'm collecting, will I eventually be able to make use of them? Their names seem to suggest they will boost skills/stats.
d) At what point in the game should I be doing most of the quests? I noticed buttons on one of those stonehenge like structures and it summoned a stone monster. I ran away figuring it would annihilate me. |

a: One circle each chapter
b: Just check every vendor. They appear from time to time but are NOT plentiful. Buy any you can find. Yes, you will find premade runes
c: You will be able to learn a new language that allows you to read them. They boost your stats.
d: Gothic does not protect you and keep you out of trouble. You'll get quest you are not strong enough to solve, and you can access areas that are quick death for you. Just do what you can, when you can. Solve all the quest in Khorinis to quickly build your character. Try to find people that will escort you to the next area. If you get in over your head.....RUNNNNNN.
Also save early, save often, and save in more than one slot.

There are a lot of quest like "fetch me some goods", "bring this to that person" in Khorinis. Those are something for the first chapter, when you're not very strong yet. You can gain some easy exp that way.
Just "trail and error" with the quests. That's one of the good things of Gothic. You can do anything whenever you want. When you think you're strong enough, go and find out and take that quest. I believe there's only one quest that must be solved in a fixed amount of time. You can take the quest and if you aren't strong enough you can always do it later.

b: Which vendors? All of them? What premade runes will I find? I don't want to learn any I'll get for free.
d: I meant the Night of the Raven quests. I've completed the quests to work out where the missing people went and who has been supplying weapons to the bandits. However, I've just joined the order of the ring and been told to go with Saturas to the unexplored part of the island in order to catch Raven. I'm just at the start of Chapter 2 though - can I do that part or will it be suicide?
Another question: I've been looking through the walkthrough by Ellusion on Gamefaqs. In it he mentions an amulet that appears at the start of chapter 2. The location he describes confuses me though. He seems to talk about it being near the small band of black goblins which are down in that valley near the first farm you come to. But, he says there are ledges you can go down there but I can't see what he is talking about. The closest area to what he is describing is off to the right (going towards) of the gate to the city. But I can't see four trees close together in that location. |

Runes - Since you checked GameFAQs already, I think there's a good Fire Mage FAQ there, though it doesn't include NOTR. It has a list of runes you'll be able to find there (Fear and Create Goblin Skeleton are the ones I remember).
World - Yeah, I went there before I started the VoM and managed to finish it without much troubles (though, I wasn't a mage). I didn't even go towards the Black Troll for the easy experiance around there. For a mage, though, I dunno... cleaning Khorinis a bit more can be a good choice.
