Im on the fence - which stronghold should i aim for

Cvijeta

Im cleric mage multi - which stronghold is more worth it...

TheArtisan

Cleric stronghold gives more experience, I think... IF you play it right according to your respective alignment. Mage stronghold gives you the opportunity to get a few exclusive items.

I will allow myself to hijack this thread XD I was wondering about something similar myself recently, but I couldn't find any good answer other than 2 polls.

Is there a thread or other place that compares strongholds? XP-wise and item-wise?

FWIW I find the wizard stronghold to be the second worst as far as interesting quests go. Cleric's is fairly short, but it has quests that fit well rp wise and has a bit of variety.

For me, the cleric stronghold just takes precedence over the mage's, unless I imagine the cleric to worship a different deity than the limited number of strongholds provide. Then it is the mage that wins out, regardless of reward. But then I usually play any cleric multi more driven by the cleric side.
I reckon it just depends if you like RPing a character concept more or just fun/ exp out of the stronghold.

Given all that the wizard SH was just not as satisfying as the cleric SH.

If you want the chance to get a Staff of Power, you need to take the mage stronghold.

If you are not roleplaying then I suggest the mage's, just to get the ring, which means one more project image, one more abi-dalzim, and one more improved alacrity.

Cleric gains the unique ring for clerics as reward without doing the stronghold. Do the mage stronghold.

But you have to kill some of the apprentices for the good stuff

Well yeah one of them will die if you want that ring, so if you are playing a really good character you may not want to do that.
