Town Crier Rumors

Free Rumors:

Town Crier tells you, "I've heard reports that the Societies have expanded their activities lately."
Town Crier tells you, "I've heard reports that the Societies have made it easier to move through their ranks."
Town Crier tells you, "I've heard rumors of adventurers finding broken Mana Forge Keys. I told them that crystal wasn't a good material for making keys..."
Town Crier tells you, "My cousin sent me a new shiny blue greatsword to hang on the wall of my apartment. Don't be mocking my apartment; we town criers don't make enough to pay the maintenance costs on a cottage or villa."
Town Crier tells you, "The people in charge of alternate currencies seem to make all of the advancement. Always something new to buy, I'd suggest you check up with the vendors who work for these people frequently."
Town Crier tells you, "The Societies seem to be making a push to control one of the more dangerous islands."
Town Crier tells you, "Were I to see a killer phyntos I'd turn and run the other way."

Pyreal Rumors:

Town Crier tells you, "Alchemy is making great advancements. I guess the Arcanum finally got to work, years of relatively small changes and suddenly they're finding ways to make your life easier through alchemy. And it costs less too!"
Town Crier tells you, "Everyone's been upgrading their old weapons. I've been keeping a list and I've seen assault weapons, quiddity weapons and singularity weapons that all seem to be more powerful than they used to be."
Town Crier tells you, "Honey, from phyntos?! I would have never imagined it. Always thought they were only wasps... Check out Freebooter if you want to see it for yourself."

Town Crier tells you, "It appears that the Societies have built small forts on Moarsmen City. I'm not sure what they're up to but you might want to go check it out."
Town Crier tells you, "There have been several rumors floating around of adventurers finding shattered Mana Forge Keys in the Gear Knight Invasion Area in the Direlands. If you think you could fix one, it may be worth checking out."
Town Crier tells you, "The Singularity really keeps up with the times. It would seem that you can now receive a Singularity Greatsword for two handed combat!"


Ulgrim Rumors

Free Rumors:

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Armor Upgrade Kits, Weapon Upgrade Kits, where's my Ale Upgrade Kit?"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I was looking at a palm tree today and I had a strange feeling that it was the first time I had seen it. I'm sure I've seen these palm trees a thousand times before, hangovers are the worst."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Pure liquid fester, I wonder what that tastes like..."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "What's with the rabbit costume?"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "No, really, I know exactly what the Apostates are up to. They're going to flay us all and harvest our organs so they can appear more human. I told Claude he couldn't possibly pass for a human without organs, and ever since he's been muttering about how 'More organs equals more human' or something like that."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Phial? I always thought Grenade was a better name. Don't ask me what that means, just something that came to me in a dream."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "So now those Societies have spread onto Moarsmen City. Why would anyone want to be there? Those foul smelling Moarsmen, the extreme heat, and not a single coconut from all those palm trees. I suppose they could play count the grains of sand to pass the time."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "And those supply cages they have, I swear I should be able to fit between the bars but I just can't. It's too much to think about I need another drink."

New Quests

After going to the Ancient Stones at 66.5S 44.7W in the graveyard and using them, you will be given a scroll and a Strange Jewel. The scroll can be translated in Zaikhal and reveals that there are 3 champions of House Mhoire, who guard the way into the castle with magical seals. The scroll gives clues as to the location of the three guardians. The first guardian is Lady Saliane. Her tomb is at 65.0S 44.2W.

The reward is another 50 Million Exp, 25 Ribbons, and 4 Tokens. 2 Day 20 Hour timer.

Known Issues

Official known issues:

  • The gargoyle that summons the entrance to Mhoire Castle can become inoperative if someone uses the gargoyle without a key to Lord Cynreft's Tomb and the quest flag for the Mhoire Castle opening quest.
(Portals have been created to Mhoire Castle at Hebian To for those who are already flagged.)
  • Once someone has summoned the shade of Rytheran from the throne they will not be able to summon him again if they repeat the quest. They will need someone who has never summoned him before.
  • The gargoyle that summons the entrance to Mhoire Castle doesn't take the strange jewel when you complete the initial quest.
  • The Fire gargoyle in the elemental gargoyle test fails on one of the quest paths. It's the path where it's Air Water Fire Earth.
  • Mhoire Castle Portals don't have radar dots.
  • The quest giving Ormend in Mhoire Castle doesn't actually tell you how many rings you need. (It's ten.)
  • The Killer Phyntos Queen does not respawn after she is killed unless the landblock is cleared and allowed to reload.
  • Quiddity staff currently strikes for Frost/Fire and should be Bludgeoning. The damage is also too low.
  • Players who ran the Gift Box quest last year may find that they "complete" the quest before discovering all 12. This will prevent the effected players from getting their full number of gift boxes.

Unofficially acknowledged issues:

Typos

  • The Defneder's [sic] Mark of House Mhoire burns with blue flame and you are transportd to the Northeast Tower of Mhoire Castle -- spelling of "Defender"
  • "As you disturb the statue its eyes burn with flame. It's [sic] voice whispers in your head." -- the "it's" should be "its", just like the first one.
  • From Fort Assault quest: "You hand over all of your Celestial Hand Suppliess [sic]."
  • When speaking to NPC for final reward of Castle of Lord Mhoire Quest: "You hand over 10 of your Rytheran's Jeweled Rings." (should be 1 ring)
  • Shade of Ormend tells you, Thank you, champion. the spirits that own these cursed rings will be allowed to rest peacefully for a time. Allow me to reward you." -- "The" should be capitalized.
