Two events that just wont fire, and the djinn

[daemonworks]

First, I've got two events that, as near as I can tell, should have fired /ages/ ago, but just won't. Offering of Blood and Clean Sewer Dimension. I've poked around a bit to see if I'm missing anything, but everything says I should be covered, so it's just sort of irritating at this point.

Also, the Djinn. Can't tell what I'm doing wrong... The other three, not a problem. This one just wrecks me. I've tried a bunch of different strats, but none of them did well enough to feel like I was on the right track. (Yes, I know about the gloves, I'm building them up while I try to come up with something else to try) It's probably something simple or obvious I'm just overlooking...

And now back to killing dopels for mithril....

send your familiars to teh castle and just wait, they will clear the djinn ofr you given enough time.

For the sewer dimension, I'm not sure of the exact odds, but there's just a random odds that the event will trigger. There's a mind spell that increases the odds of storyline events firing, and if you have a snake staff equipped, that increases the spell's power, and there's a time spell that makes events come faster (wearing the robe of time wizardry helps empower that and time contraction to make events come up to 7 times faster). I know it took me something like 60 tries to get the "someone's trash" events in the sewers to fire for the second and third times (leaving it on overnight to get the stupid thing), so sometimes you're just unlucky.

As for the djinn, make sure you go to your basic spells like Fireball or Splash, and turn off enhancing - they'll be over 800 mana if it's on. Other than that, I recommend taking a weapon with good delay reduction, mask of the sly, some potions, and just stabbing it to death.

for djinn i remember just using the tried and true poison baselard+ assassins cloak, plus gloves, and tanking through pretty easily.
Should have access to high mithral stuff from farming school, which is good defense.

and finally through the djinn. turns out the missing step was "grind gear to absurd levels"

Djin reduces your max mana, which in turn disables many spells. You can make it a lot easier by using the gloves of spell fluency, which reduce the spell cost so that a lot more spells can still be cast.
But yeah, you'll want high armor for him to make it easier.

I figured out that the "Dimensional Portal" storyline must be completed before Clean Sewer Dimension will show up. You can get them both in the same run without retiring too.

I figured this out by seeing the hint for clean sewer dimension finally appear right after I got Dimensional Portal. From a lore POV it makes sense. You have to access the Dimensional Portal in order to reach the clean sewer dimension.

This would be a good note to add to the Storylines guide.
