Is Parasite still the be-all-to-end-all melee necro skill? I do like Massacre but I remember parasite being obscenely powerful last time I played with it. Also, what TUs are helpful for melee necro in early game? I know Talon's Reach, Deadfall and Lantern Rouge are good

Nihlathak drops 3 Signets in Destruction, and 1 in Terror. The drops in the Halls levels are very nice, and Nihlathak can drop SU items as well. /Players X commands doesn't affect the outcome of the Special Box. Cool, good to know. One last question - when should I start looking @ shrine crafting? ...

Is there a more efficient way to farm signets of learning besides Griswold?

Also, does /players X affect the outcomes of the special box?

Okay gang, this is probably a really dumb question but I never knew (and I couldn't delineate the info from the docs)...

...can shrines ONLY be used with sacreds?

(also, when do sacreds start dropping?)
