GENERAL NOTES
Unless you use the GrayFace patch: Do not use "ALWAYS RUN" mode: this slows melee fighting by 25% and ranged by 30%, even if standing still
Use items to boost misc. skills: Disarm Trap, ID Item, and Alchemy. Only the highest item counts (no stacking)
Keep stat boosting items for Contests; do not sell immediately
Buying and selling: sell in Stone City for best prices (after returning the Dwarves) for all items netting 40% above Harmondale; otherwise sell in
Harmondale and then Erathia/Tularean
Sell (and buy items and skills) with Merchant and Trader (not Duper) to maximize gold
Harmondale gives 15% more gold than Erathia/Tularean and 40% more than Avlee
A Trader adds to Merchant: 6.5% in Harmondale, 7.5% in Erathia/Tularean, and 9.3% in Avlee
Hire a Banker (cost is 1000 gp) to pick-up loot for an extra 10% net if you expect to collect more than 11k gp in gold
No need to get Expert or Master Learning; Novice level 1 (+10% xp's for monsters killed) is actually fine for the entire game
There are a huge number of xp's in the game! There are no Instructors in Harmondale; get in Tularean, Erathia, Tatalia or Nighon
However: Breakeven of Expert4 in Learning vs Novice1 is at level 26 (possibly worth it); Breakeven of Master7 vs Expert4 in Learning is at level 45 (you
won't be needing the extra skill points > level 45!)
Finalizing a quest with a Teacher or Instructor does not give extra xp's
The best early item is a ring, cloak or gauntlets of mana regeneration (give to Cleric) e.g. "of the Eclipse"
Next best item is "of Disarming" skill for safer disarming of locked chests!
Stores restock items every month. Check the re-stocking date by buying all the items and a message will appear
Keyboard: Use Arrow keys; strafe holding Shift+arrow keys or use "[ ]" keys; Fly using Page Up/Page Down, Home to land
TRAVELLING Map crossing time reductions by walking: Pathfinder -3 days, Tracker -2 days, Guide -1 day
Stables only: Horseman -2 days
Ships only: Navigator -3 days, Sailor -2 days, Pirate -2 days
Explorer: -1 day for all methods of travel
Gate Master: Casts Master rank Town Portal 1x per day (2000 gp to join!)

Walkthrough for Might and Magic VII Notes /

Cost Day / Gold
Start at Emerald Isle Inventory Spell books at start are always the same; rings: can get up to +5 stat Mon 1 Jan 1168
or resistance
Well Up hill: boost Luck stat of Archer (might help disarm); run down the 1200 gp
hill to the Well near pond and click on it to get 1k gp else re-load
Get Quests (Q) Talk to Lord Markham: he gives Quest (Contestants)
Explore lands Chest near start shore: can get a Bow, Helm and Shield
Pedestal Touch the pedestal for Day of the Gods buff, located beyond the three
knights up the hill
Contest Contest of ___________ (INT this time) +3 skills points all!
Explore lands Loot chest around back shore
Dragon Cave Quickly get Contestant's Shield, Longbow and armor only at this time
(leave other stuff as markers on the floor for later battle with Dragon)
Clear map Clear Fire Flies; get Sea Shell from chests
Note: Do not use "ALWAYS RUN" mode: this will slow melee fighting
by 25% and ranged by 30%, even if standing still in Always Run
mode! Test; the patched version might not behave like this
Temple (quest) Carefully clear; find the Wealthy Hat in a chest, and the Floor Tile on 6k gp
the floor in a secret room on the south side of the temple
Can talk to one of the knights to provoke into a fight! Can loot one of
them for a longbow!
Inn Outside Inn buy a Lute from Ailyssa the Bard for 500 gp
Finalize Quest 6 am - 6 pm: finalize the Missing Contestants with Lord Markham 1k Tue 2 Jan 6am
gp, 1k xp
Give contest items to Judge for 500 xp each: red potion, shell,
longbow, lute, tile and wealthy hat
© bg2mez 2
Talk to Lord Markham again -> Castle Harmondale awarded and 1k
xp -> Ready to Level-up to Level 4!
Hirelings Merchant and Trader (no need to know Merchant skill) to get the best 300
skill costs and vendor prices. The Merchant skill hardly makes a
difference when training so only get the skill for one character (Cleric)
Note: Avoid Mr. Malwick; he seems to be bugged anyway
Train To Level 4: each character gains 15 skill points 180 26 Jan 9am
Note: Taking a pause between each level, e.g. to adventure from 9
am - 6 pm, takes the same number of days to train!
Training/skills planner:
Archer Cleric** Sorcerer* Sorcerer*
18 18 18 18 <--- number of skill points have
Bow 4 Merchant 4 Bow 4 Bow 4 <--- use points here

Disarm 4 Bow 4 Dagger 4 Dagger 4
9 9 9 9 <--- cost
9 9 9 9
0 0 0 0 <--- balance
Note: This play through will skip adding points to the Learning skill; Learning 1 only! No need for a Teacher or Instructor either!
*Traditionally got Learning4 even though the payback time is debatable. Learning4 vs 1 gives only 3% more xp's for killed monsters only
Learning1 still gives 10% extra xp's for killed monsters; and avoiding Learning E saves 8k gp for the party
**Cleric Merchant4 only needed for entire game; no one else needs the skill!
Join Guilds Air (to be able to buy the Learning skill), Fire; eventually join the 100
others (Spirit, Body) but price is same in Harmondale
Buy skills With a Merchant and Trader:

Healing Tent: for Cleric: Merchant x1 415
Weapons Store: Bow x3 (370/390x2) 1150
No need to buy any items! Wait until Tularean Forest
Armorer: Cleric: Shield x1 (370), Sorcerers: Leather x2 (390) 1150
Inn: for Archer: Disarm x1 (390), Perception x1 (390) 780
Air Guild: Sorcerers: Learning x2 (780) if have money 1560
Alchemist: Alchemy; ID Items from Magic Shop (390x2) 780
TOTAL SPENT: 6415
Sell After getting Merchant level 4: sell stuff (no need to ID Items) but
keep all shields and armors for battle against Dragon (will cast
vigorously at Cleric and break his shield and armor)
Keep all Blue and Red potions too
Keep also any scrolls of Fire Protection and Bless, etc. for upcoming
fight with Dragon
Potions Make a few normal level potions, mix potions to sell for 26 gp
Red Potion = Cure Wounds
Yellow Potion = Cure Weakness
Blue Potion = Magic Potion
*Red + Yellow = Cure Disease (Orange) (make several to sell)
*Red + Blue = Cure Poison (Purple)
*Yellow + Blue = Awaken (Green) 2300 gp
Buy skills If have money buy 2x Body Building (390/385) 775 1500 gp
Save 1000 gp at this point to buy 2x Chain skill in Harmondale
Prepare for Dragon hunting…

Hirelings Hire a Scholar for 500 gp! 500
Buff Well near Inn, Day of the Gods pedestal, and the pedestal of fire
resistance near the Dragon's Cave
© bg2mez 3
Dragon Cave Cast Wizard Eye and Bless Archer, save and then enter cave
Cleric will be the main target so change armor as it gets broken!
First run: go counter clockwise and let the Dagon fight the Rats; run
all way around the edge of the cave and seek refuge beside the exit
in the corner, facing east.
Note that the Dragon will naturally drift counter clockwise (CCW)
which leaves you safe to Save Game!
You cannot leave the dungeon once started (Dragon will be reset) so
save often in the cave
To take down the Dragon:

Technique 1: CCW around cave; turn-shoot-turn-run for 1/2 second-
repeat:
From the safe corner run around the edge of the perimeter counter
clockwise
The first opportunity to shoot will not be until you are at 11 o'clock (on
the mini-map) where the first "bump" is
Only shoot if the Dragon is NOT facing you, i.e. only shoot while he
is in transit, otherwise you will be hit. Turn quickly and shoot and then
turn back and keep running immediately!
The 2nd opportunity to shoot is counter clockwise up the larger
bump: turn very fast, shoot, turn very fast and run for 1/2 second, and
repeat
If you hit for damage you should retreat to the safe corner by the
exit, wait for the Dragon to rotate around and then save the game and
save often!
On the next sortie: repeat as above; from the "high" bump you
should be able to establish a rhythm of "turn-shoot-turn-run for 1/2
second-repeat" such that the dragon is always in transit when you
turn to shoot
Keep circling him and he will naturally move counter clockwise!
If you see him facing you, do not shoot! Turn and run for 1/2 second
then try again.
Retreat to the safe corner and save often i.e. after every successful
sortie!
Technique 2: Direct assault, then CCW around cave
From the safe corner run directly/slightly to the right of the dragon
and fire a couple of shots as you run past him. Keep running to the
north edge and then use the above technique by running around the
edge of the cave counter clockwise.
Then, run circles around him and establish a rhythm of "turn-shoot-
turn-run for 1/2 second-repeat" such that the dragon is always in
transit when you turn to shoot.
Retreat to the safe corner and save often!
Once fallen, multiple loot for an amulet, ring, belt or cloak of:
of the Eclipse (Mana regeneration) is the best item to get;
of Disarming skill, e.g. +21 or more is the next best item;
of ID Items skill, e.g. +23 or more is for convenience
Stop looting there!
Do NOT loot for anything else such as armor, weapons or black

potions otherwise the game is broken
Surprisingly you do not need good armor for the Sorcerers or anyone
else at this stage or for a long time
Use an Editor to roll-back your gold to the amount prior to

looting the dragon, plus 800 gp
Buy skills The Learning skill is much cheaper here than Harmondale so buy if
have money! Meditation is a bit cheaper (780 gp vs 850 in
Harmondale Mind Guild, but not really needed now)
Buy any other skills, especially Perception if not yet done although
they are the same cost as in Harmondale
Join Guilds Join Spirit and Body Guilds (same cost as in Harmondale) 100
Hirelings Dismiss the Scholar, hire no one!
Sell Sell any unwanted items

2175
Hirelings If you want to optimize number of days: consider to hire Horseman 100
depending on schedules but allow for 2 days of exploring in Avlee
Travel planning: the old plan was to get Body Master to learn Protection from Magic to stay safe from Medusa's, before getting Water Master
but this actually isn't necessary if you use readily available potions to counter effects such as Paralyzed, Stoned and Insane (Eyes in Nighon Tunnels)
Travel plan: focus on getting Water Master (don't worry about Body Master)
© bg2mez 8
Old travel plan: getting Body Master before Nighon Tunnels

Training/skills planner: Spend no points and get no points in Avlee

Have horseshoes in inventory (will eventually get 12 more*) --> 5
Note: *Try to save most of the horseshoes for much later for Cleric's Light Magic skill
Note: loot the fruit trees later (after the Faerie King)
Get Quest North-west house: Steagal Snick (Q23) Q for ARCHER UPGRADE:
he gives Worn Belt to sabotage the lift in the Red Dwarf Mines in the
Bracada Desert
Well North-east well: +2 Endurance all!
Hirelings You will eventually pick up 10-11k gp so hiring a Banker is not really
worth it
Mound under the Walk counter-clockwise three times to reveal entrance. Faerie King:
Hill (quest) upgrades Rangers to Hunters! Give him the letter and he
gives Pipes (to eventually finalize in Tularean) FOOD -> 0!
While riding the elevator: jump to a chest with Faerie Ring (ring of Air *Ring of Air
Magic, +50% Air Magic skill) Magic
Buff (cast Fire Aura on weapons and Bless), clear dungeon; a Queen
Dragon Fly will drop Faerie Key
Hidden rooms: beside the stream with the small bridge
Click on wall near "stairs" to reveal a panel; use the Faerie Key to
open a secret room
© bg2mez 9
Hirelings Burglar and Locksmith (+8; +6) to de-trap chests on islands unless
you have a good items to boost Disarm skill. Must have a total of 24
points towards the Disarm skill to safely open the chest with the
Golem part
Can buy an item with Disarm +10 in Avlee if needed
Explore lands Mid Island, middle chest: Golem part (Left Arm): must have Disarm 4, *Golem part 1
a Burglar and Locksmith and a +6 Disarm skill item! of 6 (arm)
Do not attract any Wyverns yet!

Do not loot around Titans Stronghold, party too weak!
[Do later when can Fly: touch the Stonehenge]
Therefore do the following later:
Very carefully do several sorties across to the islands; keep clear of
the south peninsula. From the north approach the first island in a
zigzag pattern. Plan to open one chest at a time and retreat to the
north island and save game!
South island: quickly grab a couple of loot piles and then proceed
immediately to the southernmost small island and save game!
Return to the village. From the eastern side of the map (at the sign
post at the mid-east) use Jump to go due south until you find a
valuable wand on the ground (worth 2500 gp). Do not continue further
south or face certain death!
Tavern Probably rest to pass the time until stores open Sun 28 Feb
Hirelings Hire Trader (Trader is best and saves 12% compared with Merchant
alone in Avlee; otherwise Duper for 3% difference); should still have
Merchant from Harmondale
Sell Sell only large junk, wait until Erathia for much better prices 19k gp
Buy Buy items with a Trader and Merchant:

Weapons only are very good in Avlee
Bought 2 Composite Bows, 2 Ideal Cross bows, and a Sublime Spear 6188
Can get Sublime Spear (can rarely get "of Sparks" but am using Fire 0
Aura spell this play though)
Mogred Helm of Armsmaster +4 (optional; can buy a better one in 2812

Tatalia or Deyja soon)
Later when have gold:

Can get mana regeneration items here! 0
Can get e.g. Gauntlets of Disarm +10! 0
Can get Gauntlets of the Troll! 3800 gp 0
TOTAL SPENT: 9000
Trade Did not bother to trade this play through:

[Trade Enrothian Wine: 2k in Avlee (NE town), supposedly sell for 3k
in Tatalia (in town) but I only got 2250 gp! OK to fill inventory but then
cannot pick-up loot/junk in Deyja, Erathia (which is OK because they

later with a Banker (OK to loot bodies several days later)

you start, e.g. training at 10 am or 5:55 pm both end training at 9 am
on the same day!
Note: In a previous play through the Sorcerers were upgraded and

Nighon reached with party at Level 7! This play through will probably
get Level 8 to save a couple of horseshoes for later use

Training longer-term planning for character skills development might and magic 7 character development
Note: Cleric now has Merchant 4E, Bow 4, Spirit 4E and Body 4E. Plan could be to get Body M asap for Protection From Magic.
Protection From Magic (requires Body M from Tatalia) certainly is the safe route to ensure survivability against Medusa's in Bracada
quest (Archer upgrade) but it is not mandatory because the dungeon has potions and an Amulet of the Medusa is dropped!

***Plan is to save as many horseshoes as possible for Light Magic for Cleric to get Light 12

quest before being able to upgrade to Body Master

Bow GM: Harmondale Body GM: Avlee Water GM: Harmondale

Chain M: Avlee Meditation M: Bracada Fire GM: Erathia
Chain GM: Deyja Air GM: Bracada Light skill/E: Bracada
Magic planner:
Sorcerer 1: Try Light max or use Air. Can use Air vs all enemies except use Light vs Titan's, Evil Eye, Green Dragon, Air Elementals (of course)
Sorcerer 2: Use Fire vs all (Incinerate is highest indoor damage dealing spell vs one target) except use Acid Burst vs Devils, Red Dragon, Gazer (eye)
Sorc.2 could use Acid Burst vs all except Wraith, Vampire, Shade/Spector, Ghasts, Blue Dragon, Floating Eye, Water Elementals (of course)
Conclusion:
Fire is best in general vs the largest number of enemies (few are immune)
But, Water for Acid Burst seems the most economical: does around 99 damage at skill level 15 for only 10 spell points
Therefore Archer, having only a few mana points, probably eventually get Water Magic for Acid Burst!
If in doubt, can always use Light Bolt vs all enemies, except Medusa's and Light Elementals
*Archer: Water for Acid Burst seems like way to go; does around 99 damage at skill level 15 for only 10 spell points
**Cleric: Can use Light Bolt vs all enemies, except Medusa's and Light Elementals
****Sorcerer 2: Probably get Fire 10 for fun, and then max Water
