Find your assigned NPC and use the password
Sets A–C assign one examiner. For Aragham Junior, enter at cmd_fild09 106,195 and choose Aragham / never / hoarded / upgrade items. Meet him at in_rogue 244,39.
For Hollgrehenn Junior, enter at cmd_fild09 335,143 and choose My father / never / hoarded / upgrade items. Meet him at in_rogue 160,34.
