Has anyone here actually gotten all the loot on expert?

Thanks.

I would just like for someone to say "Yes, I have found all of it". Then I could know that it is all there.

I don't know... maybe I ought to start searching the town. I tried going back to the shop thinking that a shop keeper might have some cash laying around, but no such luck.

Oh well...

In fact, on my game, when I opened the door it appeared in the guard's room that has 2 fancy blue chests and a desk with a readable sign above it.

Personally, I am beginning to think that there is a glitch. I mean, in a game like this, the Q&A is up to a tough challenge and things such as this can slip by. I just wish we could get an official ruling on it.

You can generally make a pretty good guess as to the object described from its symbolic name, e.g. "A TrVaseGreen" is a green vase. The full report actually includes x,y,z coordinates for each item, but this seemed like enough to figure out what you were missing.

Ask and ye shall receive. The "DromEd" editor's mission report generator comes up with the following list of loot:

Ask and ye shall receive eh? We've been asking for the editor.......*HINT HINT WINK WINK* Come on Evil, We know you guys are just sitting there letting us sweat.

How much do we have to beg? Hell, one guy on this thread has played Assassins 9 times through on expert.....pretty telling sign I think....a sign that Thief fans are hungry, you've filled a demand that we all had, a great FPS like NONE OTHER, only problem is, we can't do anything to further its playablility, except maybe making our own rules......"Okay, this time through, every 5th step I have to jump, turn around 5 times and recite 4 Hammerite Psalms."......

EVIL, I'm begging here....The editor may be ugly, but at least it works...

Sincerely,
A representative of all Thief: The Dark Project players

*Where is it?*

I think I found a use for the storage room key... I found it on each of 2 guards who normally stand in the room at the base of the secret that leads to the library (it has a wood floor, 2 chests, and a note on the wall about breaking fingers). If you leave that room and go into the hall (not the stairs), then make an immediate right, the door you're facing should be openable by the storage key. I've used it, and I've seen the guard use it, so it seems reliable...

But, the only place I have seem something like that is in the room next to Ramirez's where there is a GemStone Ring on the table... not the Signet.

I was thinking that it was down with Ramirez, but the only things I found down there were:

1 x Speed Potion, 1 x Flash Bomb, 3 x Gold Coin Stacks, 1 x Parchment, 1 x Water Arrow, 1 x Moss Arrow

No RING! Maybe the Burricks ate it?

2 A GemRing vals { 100; 0; 0; [None]}

not the signet ring, that was the one on the table near the parchment (it was all gold, no gems) the other one of these is in the library as stated =]
I even mapped out the entire level to make sure i'd been in every room (and i'm making maps for a treasure guide anyway) and if there is another ring, it's near impossible to see (maybe like the key in "the sword")
I'm sure when someone finds it we'll all slap our foreheads and say OH! i knew that!

Could it be possible that Ramirez had it on his finger? And that we must steal it from his hand?

I found the game mostly very logical, maybe we can find the signet by thinking? Where would we store our signet, if we had any? At papers, because we would want to do our signets on it, I guess. I dont think that Ramirez gave the signet to any other person, not even to one of his girl friends ( = we must probably not look in the servants or guards room). I would think that Ramirez would keep his signet in his bedroom, bathroom, writing room, at himself, in his own storage room.

Aha. No wonder. It's sitting on the floor, and therefore appears as a little speck unless you're crawling in the right place. A shiny little speck, sure, but still... you'd never know it was a signet ring. But it doesn't match the descriptions of the other two rings locations you've mentioned, so it must be the one you're missing.

posted February 12, 1999 12:21 PM            

Of course, it makes sense that it is there with all those bottles of fine wine lying about... He probably got totally wasted one night and just passed out in bed, not knowing that his signet fell off his hand and onto the floor. No wonder it wasn't put up anywhere, he couldn't find it either!

Glad to have this one solved... Thank-you very much EvilSpirit.

Caine? "Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off so hard milk bubbles come out of my nose," eh? got the Van Houten chuckle down pat, i see.

and ghost? come on, EvilSpirt revealed it; he deserves a t-shirt. i know he wants one ;-). i'd send him the ghost undies, but i already sent those back to you... hey, did you get 'em yet?
