I just got mage clearance and I’ve been going around exploring and doing quests here and there. I had to do enough to raise my reputation to get the mage clearance that I’ve explored everywhere east of the Great Waste, south of Fort Emerald, and east of the river where the slith lands were in the first game (where the spiders are). The most obvious next step is to go to Erika’s Tower since I have the coordinates, but I want to do a few more quests and explore the map a bit more. My most pressing order is finding the warp pylon in Formello.

I probably got the gray imperial pass way before I was supposed to by overpowering my party with the character editor and may have broken the game in doing so.

One thing that bugs me is that I couldn’t get into Solberg’s Tower when I tried much earlier in the game. There was a text box saying that you feel like you’re getting a disapproving look, then nothing. Was my reputation just too low, or did I miss a puzzle?
