A Date Gone Wrong
Kel, a merchant in Cahlabrok, got his eyes on a certain lady, is in need of a courier to do some deliveries. Do as he asks. Go along with it. Then let curiosity get the better of you, and become a savior.

Then you recieve an item that will change your wardrobe forever.

where I get that achiviment? what shal lI do first?
Burden of Brine  [author] 5 Jun, 2019 @ 12:32pm 
Aye, I figured, I merely said that I might be a bit slow on verifying and adding it to the guide, as Spellforce 3: Soul Harvest isn't in my focus right now. I still very much appreciate the find though!
Marcos_DS 5 Jun, 2019 @ 12:26pm 
Hi Burden of Brine, my last comment for the Kings Crossing area wasn't about a ghost merchant, its a normal merchant that has a star tab with a "Potion of Empowerment"....

Burden of Brine  [author] 5 Jun, 2019 @ 12:21pm 
The guide is intentionally obtuse and vague as to not be a fullblown spoiler.
It is handy for those that want to have an idea of where to find certain magic swag locked behind a minor questline.
You get the achievement by following and/or successfully interpretting the instructions provided.

And noted, Marcos_DS, I'll look into it one of these days, I might be stuck playing some other games until more content arrives though.
Slava Ukraini 5 Jun, 2019 @ 9:20am 
I dont understand this guide? what is good for? but wheer I get achiviment?
Marcos_DS 5 Jun, 2019 @ 5:17am 
Makes sense to keep the guide focused :-)
Found another star merchant:
Kings Crossing
Merchant
(Village on northwestern edge, might require to save village on time)
Potion of Empowerment (+1 Attribute Point)
Burden of Brine  [author] 4 Jun, 2019 @ 8:14am 
Aye, I noticed a few such merchants here and there, but for now I think I'll wait and see if someone else will cover such ghosthunting.
Marcos_DS 4 Jun, 2019 @ 8:09am 
Thx for your great guide! Bit outside of the scope of this guide, but there are several ghost merchants, e.g. Cahlabrok Abandoned Castehouse, Windwall Outskirts and Scorching Desert Oasis. They don't have star items, but the one in the Castehouse and the on in Windwall Outskirts have a nice dual dagger combo called "Pain" and "Mercy" - if you have both, get extra +15% block and +15% crit chance...
Burden of Brine  [author] 4 Jun, 2019 @ 8:05am 
No problems, I have now added it to the guide with clearer directions, thanks for letting others know about this neat weapon!
Marcos_DS 4 Jun, 2019 @ 8:03am 
oops yes sorry, thats the one i meant
