[zehelvion]

Did anyone meet the Oddly-Hued glowpad!
omg awesome :D

[Rahl]

im did.... i didn know what he was and tried to kill him... walked 3 squares away to regen after a bit and he still killed me.

[dis astranagant]

He has a thousand hp and usually some decent armor.

[Rahl]

yah that waas my 1st time seeing him and i didnt know lol forgot to "look" oh well now i know heheh

[zehelvion]

You can talk to the Glowpad and trade for some good wares.

[Rahl]

i only found him the once, i he in the same spot every time? if so where?

[Kaaven]

He's one cool guy, actually ;)

If you talk to him, he claims to be from the Consortium (the gentleman-plant-run corporation the cucumber shopkeep from Kyakukya is from) and he has a sweet selection of rather high-tech gear for sale.

[Rahl]

nice!! now i REALLY wish i knew where to find him.... around Joppa right?? well i guess its time to wander the swamps..... again.... heheh

[PosiBolt]

He can usually be found in one of the 8 world map tiles surrounding Joppa's tile. Considering each world map tile is 3x3 zones, that's a bit of an area to search. However, there's usually more you can find than just the glowpad... so it's a good area to search anyways.

...if you feel like cheating a little bit, you can enable the 'indicate overland encounters on the main map' option, but this has to be enabled when your world is first generated. I think it needs to be enabled at the creation of your game however, and can't simply be turned on/off. When enabled, the overland tiles will be different colors to indicate a special event in that area, which can then be found somewhere within the 3x3 zones for that tile.

[Rahl]

makes sense from a RPing standpoint as your char would definetly mark the encounters he has on his map

[davidb11]

True. It also makes the world map look ugly.

THe Glowpad merchant, besides being a nice reference to the Mudcrab merchant in Morrowind, will also get hostile if you attack anything near him.

So, getting to him is half the battle.
Unless this was changed in the last 1 1/2 years.

[Iduno]

I just saw him decide to start attacking other glowpads. He isn't legendary, though, so I can't check his faction standings.

[davidb11]

Yes, but he has a distinctly different sprite for him, and his description is different.

Also, he's rather rude, so anything near him that you attack, he will beat you up for it. :)

[THANKS OBAMA]

I only saw him once, on my first play through. I didn't attack him, but remember that his wares were expensive as hell stuff. Heck I think that it was because it was my first playthrough that I even tried to talk to him instead of outright attacking because I thought I could use the talk command with a lot more creatures than you really can.
