Fastest way to get Move Mountains?
As a dedicated explorer and completionist, it's ENDLESSLY frustrating to find inaccessible corners in every other dungeon, sealed off by a cracked wall or a fragile boulder. I'm not finding anywhere near enough Stoneshatter Scrolls to cover my needs. I need this spell, ASAP! But where can I get it? I went all the way to Shayder, but even the Anama, who are all ABOUT the priestliness, didn't have it...

I think I've heard that you can get the 'book-based' level of it from Fort Emergence, but only after you've cleared at least one Plague... and the Slime Pit has a bunch of corners requiring Move Mountain to access, too...

(Sorry, can't confirm that yet - I've not played A3 for a few days - but I've also heard it's there at Fot Emergence for grabs after clearing one plague and I arrived there after handling the Slimes. However...)

I keep notes of all the places and things I couldn't access yet or would like to revisit for other reasons. That way I can go back to do those once I have more resources, especially spells like Dispel Barrier and Move Mountains. If the latter is at Fort Emergence, then I suggest you rush Slime Pit and just go back there once you get the spells.

Note however that it might not be enough to get just level 1 of the spell, because some walls, barriers, etc. might (and likely will) require a higher level version of the same spell, so you'd still need to come back for them later.

Then some other locations:

According to http://spiderwebforums.ipbhost.com/topic/24076-a3rw-spell-books-spoilers/ you can get Move Mountains also at Shayder by joining the Anama or at Moon Library.[/h1]

Hmm... so the Anama DO have it, they just won't let non-members have it? Bah! I'm certainly not going to join them... and if memory serves, the 'Fake Anama' option doesn't let you access their spellbooks.

But the REAL question is, where can you BUY it? There has to be a priest somewhere who is willing to teach it, so that you can get the other two levels... I just wanna know where, so I can make it a priority to get there ASAP.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it. Tower of Magic, there's a priest there who teaches a SLEW of spells, including Move Mountains. Guess you basically have to finish off the Slimes before you can do much of anything...

I can now confirm: after beating Slime Pit, talk to Mazumbar (in the southeast corner of Fort Emergence). One of the dialogue trees leads to him giving you a couple of spells, including Move Mountains.

Pretty sure Move Mountains level 2 is from one of the sealed off books in Fort Emergence.

I believe you get access to those by increasing your fame. You do this by doing quests.

I haven't even begun the slime clearing yet and I got to those books. You need a certain level of Arcane Lore to read them, not sure on the exact level.

You also need Priest Spells 7 to cast Move Mountains.
