Walk Through
- Speak to the Jester, he used to spawn randomly in the Graveyard. Now you'll need to use a Summoning Stone in Graveyard to make him appear (south or north stone??).
- Kill graveyard creatures, for random drop items, mainly cards from the two decks. Thirteen cards combine together to make a complete deck (Deck of Hands and Deck of Eyes). A number of quests also give a card as a reward, including Jester's Lost Marbles and The Jester. The same creatures/quests that give cards can also give a Jester's Token. The token lets you gamble for a new card, give the token to a Casino boss, then the card you want to gamble to a High Stakes NPC. The NPC will return a new, random card. The token is attuned and bonded, cards are not. The token is only good for a single exchange of cards. Items confirmed to drop on (they probably drop on all):
- Once you have combined a complete suit of cards into a deck, beginning with the Ace and adding cards in order. Neither the Casino Owners nor Ulgrim the Unpleasant accept the completed decks.
- WARNING: Don't hand deck if being attacked or in dangerous spot. It's best to hand during the day even though Jester can be summoned during the night. And make sure you're in no immediate danger, it's worth your time to clear any dangerous creatures that come over to you first, then use the Summoning Stone. He takes a good 15-20 seconds from when you hand the completed deck until he returns the new item.
- After giving the Jester the completed deck, he returns an unlimited use deck that casts a 10 minute buff that adds 15 to either focus (Deck of Eyes) or coordination (Deck of Hands). There is a cooldown timer of 60 minutes (meaning you can use it again 50 minutes after the spell expires). Note that before handing it in, the combined deck is tradable, but once you hand to jester and it's activated and is Attuned (not ivoryable) and can only be used by the character that turned it in.

Lore & Dialog
Jester tells you, "Hey there little person. Have you seen my cards around? I had two decks, but I can't seem to find them. I probably put them down somewhere when I was talking to the lalas."
Jester tells you, "It's too bad, I think much more clearly when I can focus on something like my cards or puzzles and games and..."
Jester tells you, "Hey there little person! Gosh you people are everywhere. I was just talking to one of you."
Jester tells you, "If you find a whole deck of cards can you bring it back for me? I promise I won't turn you into a frathock if you do. I might turn you into something else funny though. I can't swear I won't, but definitely not a frathock, which is a big deal since they are my favorite."
Jester tells you, "Okay bye now."
Jester tells you, "Listen up! You will all die when I sing the final song. I have to practice because they make me and I'm going to give a concert while it eats. It likes dinner music apparently."
Jester tells you, "It's a very special time. It's not often the puppet gets to meet the puppeteer."
Jester tells you, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry! If I had known. But I can't close my eyes anymore unless I see it and I can't sleep lest it take me over. I'm sorry..."
Jester tells you, "Why won't you leave me alone? Let me die. Please! Please stop talking! Lalalalalalalalalalala! I can't hear you! LALALA!"
Jester tells you, "The lalalas are back. They're playing games behind my eyes. Go away! I don't want to do that! I just want to be alone for awhile."
Jester tells you, "Laylana! Where did you go? I think this is where I'm supposed to meet you. Shut up all you lalas! I need to warn her. So close! Just beneath us."
Jester tells you, "Long miles of flesh. Eyes to see in the dark places. Gaping maws to eat the world. Lalalalalala!"
You allow Jester to examine your Seven of Hands.
Jester tells you, "Oh goody, you found one. Come back when you have the whole deck."
Jester tells you, "Hehe, a token for gambling your cards. What fun! Go see the Gambling Bosses about using this. I made them a deal they couldn't refuse. They're still alive so I guess they agreed. Let me"
You give Monty the Munificent Jester's Token.
Monty the Munificent tells you, "Very well. You may gamble one card with the High-Stakes Gamesmaster over there."
Monty the Munificent tells you, "I don't know why I agreed to gamble these cards. That funny fellow was just so persuasive! I agreed before I even asked myself the most important question in gambling. What's my take?"
You give Aluvian High-Stakes Gamesmaster Seven of Hands.
The Gamesmaster takes your card and shuffles it into a large deck in front of her. She then fans the deck out in front of you.

You carefully slip one card out and turn it over to find...

Aluvian High-Stakes Gamesmaster tells you, "The Boss has to get a Jester Token before I will gamble any cards with you."
Jester tells you, "I've already made myself a new deck. Since you went to the trouble of finding it you can have this one. First, let me charge it up."
The Jester puts the cards between his hands and begins to giggle. Sparks coruscate across his teeth and his eyes roll back into his head.
Jester tells you, "Now where did I put that spell? Ah, here it is!"
The deck begins to glow and then brighten in stages.
The Jester's Eyes reappear and he hands you the glowing deck back.
Jester gives you Deck of Eyes.
Jester tells you, "There you go all, charged up and ready for fun and games!"
Jester tells you, "You need to give it some time to recharge after you use it. An hour should do it."
Jester tells you, "Ok, get out of here kid. I have lots and lots of things to do."
