AnonymousMissing: Red quill after Trobbio act 2. (Purple in act 3 - without defeating him by using another route might be possible?)
Having a quill blocks getting another quill. (Buying white blocks the other two quills. Taking the red one blocks the purple quill. Getting to act 3 blocks the red quill which is replaced by the purple quill.)
Modders need to get on this. If we could just upgrade the quill it'd be a cool feature for modders to figure out.

AnonymousCan anyone find out if you can find quills on both Mt Fay and the court of craws? I'm seeing mentions of people finding quills there. You can 100% confirmed get a red quill from Trobbio's room in act 2 and in act 3, there is a purple quill in the same spot instead if you don't take it in act 2.

AnonymousIf you don't buy the quill from Shakra, you can get a different version for free in Trobbio's room - it does the same thing but it's got a different sprite.


Anyone know if you have to beat tormented Trobbio before you get purple quill? Just curious
