Wofle, I did the Blind Guardian quest earlier today and I saw on your easter egg page that you were unsure if you can use the instruments as weapons, and you can. You get 5 items from them, all are unique. There is two guatars that act as two handed swords, a symbol you use as a shield, a microphone that acts like a staff, and a drum stick that I think acts like another staff. I can get you shots of them all as soon as I can figure out the screen capture thing.
On another note do you have an area on your page for distinguishing the item color differences? I got confused earlier today. I did a bunch of quests the culminated in me fighting an undead general. The monster was marked as a boss, had its own health bar displayed all the time until I killed it, and the color for his name and all that looked like the unique color. When I killed him I picked up all the items and my sera said "this must be a very special item", which she does anytime I get a unique or a set. When I looked a the items I did not have either, but I had an sword that has an almost bright orange color to it. My best guess is it is a unique item to a boss, but I am not sure and figured you might have something on it, but I did not see it when I quickly looked and the manual naturally tells me nothing.

Of course the manual doesn't tell you, lol There has been lots of discussion over at the SIF about item colors, but it hasn't been 100% confirmed yet so I haven't put a guide up on the site. I will as soon as I know for sure that the speculation is correct. But what everyone THINKS so far is this: Grey - junk/broken/rusted items White - normal items Blue - magical items Yellow - rare items gold - unique items orange - legendary items green - set items Now there has been speculation on both unique and legendary items which is worth mentioning. There seems to be two types of unique items (which I personally think sucks ). The first is randomly generated by the game and have no better stats than a rare item and quite often WORSE stats than a rare item. The second type of unique items are truly unique, handmade items that will always have the same stats no matter how many times you find them and will increase is value as you find them at higher levels. Legendary items seem to be special drops only found by defeating certain boss enemies. Supposedly you could buy some from a merchant at one point but that is a game glitch. I don't know if you could also get them as a quest reward or not. Also I'm not sure if you always get one by defeating certain bosses and if you do if they are the same item over and over from a specific boss or not.

Hhhmm, sounds interesting then. I can say I do agree with the two kinds of unique items though. Like I have gotten a few so far that have names that sound like the randomly generated ones we are used to.
I really hope that the legendary items drop from the same bosses though since the sword I got yesterday will definatly be the one I will go after all the time.

Another thing to add to the Blind Guardian quest, it seems that after you complete it the music that plays when you start up the game changes to the Sacred song, or at least it just did for me here.

Very cool fact!
Yeah I hope the legendary items work that way too. BTW, will you been taking screens of the items for me?

Yeah I will take pictures, I just want to find a way to get them to work still. I will likely have about 10 uniques, 2 sets, and 1 legendary, at least that is what I have right now at lvl 28.
Also, when my brain works better I will get a shot of the grave for the Enders Game book I ran across since you seem to like to have graves, monsters, etc that are based off of something in real life and you did not have that one on your easter egg list.
