Jarvonia Rumors

Alexa Leeroi

Alexa Leeroi

• Fishing with magnets?
  • Me mate, he don't go fishin' proper at the Old Arena Ruins, not with worms. Nah, he uses Magnetic lures! Calls it Magnet Fishing! Says he mostly pulls up trash, but every now and then, a Ring or two. Heard he once even snagged an Old War Sword!

• Start some skydisc golf.
  • Looking to try out some of my signature Skydisc? Maybe you'd want to try the Jarvonia Skydisc Course southwest of here I've heard opened up? In Bourbontalk? I dunno, I get the names of places wrong sometimes.
• Start skiing better.
  • Want to get better toward using some of my more advanced Skis? Could start on that area down south of here, the Casbrant Fields. Heard there's a good enough space for Classic Skiing there.

Basti Dupont

• Good waves for bodysurfing?
  • I really need to get back over to the Red Coast over to the east. I heard the waves are for good Bodysurfing over there! They say people go out there needing a Life Vest and end up leaving them behind because they feel they become such good swimmers! I'd still want one to go Kayaking at the nearby ruins!

Bert Lamberen

Bert Lamberen

• Black Eye Peak?
  • Got a Black Eye Peak Wilderness Permit and looking to go Ridge Scrambling up at Black Eye Peak? Be careful, bring some Climbing Gear. I would recommend seeing if you can find a Mountaineering Guidebook, though plenty of people I knew had one while doing that and still didn't make it back.
• Spelunking venture.
  • What could be more exciting than exploring cavernous depths with some Spelunking up at Black Eye Peak?! Well, as long as you can come back in one piece of course, tough work bringing back just the remains of others sometimes. Though I suppose lots of people delve into those deep dark caverns in search of that lost civilization's Ancient Ankh and other traces of its existence.
• Bat cave to the south.
  • I've seen a lot of bats flying around that ruined trinketry bench tower far to the south of here. I bet if you peeked around in the cave over there for a bit, you could figure out where they migrate and maybe even follow them! You'd need a Black Eye Peak Wilderness Permit to get that way though! Should bring a few unique Light Source options too!
• Adventure to the north!
  • Hear that glacier up north has something worth exploring there! Would need to get your hands on a Mysterious Northern Map to probably find the way.
• Lost treasure?
  • Nearby people have been reporting losing and finding items of importance in the area lately. Might be time to do a little Treasure Hunt to see if you can turn up any of the lost items. Let's see, the rarest sounding item here. Ah, looks like someone lost their Artificial Snowflake? I can only imagine how difficult that'd be to find in this snowy area.

Flora Floursifter

Flora Floursifter

• Reputation?
  • Having a hard time fulfilling some of the job requests and getting the locals to like you? I heard the requested jobs they have in the south only get harder but have better payoffs. Though if those are proving difficult, I heard some younger folks got their hands on some good materials for some Sledding near the springs to the south. Maybe if you help them out while making a game of it, you'll get some appreciation!

Frigid the Penguin

Frigid the Penguin

• Lost something icy.
  • I used to also sell a Blue Ice Sickle, but I tripped and lost em across the glacier, so you'd need to do some Glacier Foraging if you'd ever want one. Probably pretty difficult though blending in with all the ice around here. Probably be like, what's that expression the humans use? Finding a needle in a haystack?

Gunnar Knuds

Gunnar Knuds

• A way around the fort?
  • A way around?! Think I'd just tell you if there was one?! No hope without getting your hands on a Jarvonian Letter of Passage! Stubborn? Just go ahead and grow gills or sprout wings like a bat! Disgusting creatures! Everyone should stay away from those things whenever they see them coming.
• Better skiing.
  • Well on the other side of the fort, I've heard that there's some good Skate Skiing. Lots of skiers say they train doing that for a bit before they can use their Oak Skis or better.

Heinnir Ultemor

• The butterfly effect?
  • I heard some couples have been making their way down to Warrenfield with a Bug Catching Net to do some Butterfly Catching. Apparently romantic to try catching them to release them in front of one another. Guaranteed a happy relationship if you can find a Blue Lotus Butterfly too. Some people even wait til night to show off Fireflies in a Jar they catch.
• Uncork the grapes of wrath!
  • After my friend taught me that grapes are toxic to dogs, I had to take out my anger by going Wine Grape Stomping. I stomped so much into wine that day. They said any more and I probably would have turned it into liquid enough to find a lost Eberhart Corkscrew at the bottom of the vat! Haha!

Helpful Herbert

Helpful Herbert

• Listening in?
  • Make sure you give a listen to other people around! They might have a good 'Rumour' or two they'll share with you! I heard they'll sometimes even talk about things you can note down in your 'WalkPedia'! Like how there's Surface Copper Mining down in the Pit of Pittance!
• There is a bank in Kallaheim!
  • I heard that Kallaheim has a bank where you can store your valuables safely. It's supposed to be well-guarded and very secure. If you're looking to keep your treasures safe and not get overencumbered, that's the place to go! Quite nice that you can withdraw them from any other banks too later!
• Looking 'Fine'.
  • I hear you might be taking a look at the jobs I post on my aptly named Herbert's Job Board outside. Now sometimes I ask for the occasional 'FINE' version of something, they are rarer to find in place of the normal materials out there. Make sure you grab some free materials I give out daily to help craft up tools to equip to help you out with that on an activity!

• Diving into the water.
  • Fancy a peek beneath th' waves? Try yerself one o' me finest Rusty Diving Helmet - pop it on, an' ye'll see clear as day underwater! Go on, give it a go! I ain't got a full kit no more, mind ye ... Bert at that blasted guild snatched the torso deal from under me nose, and the ships bringin' leggings? Lost to th' deep, every cursed chest of em. Still, if it's a helmet yer after, this be th' only port to dock in!

Kulty the "A" Holder

Kulty the "A" Holder

• A distant rumour?
  • Hmm a distant rumour, huh? You know I am a cosmic being capable of obliterating your very mind, right? Guess we can have some fun tho! The whispers say that there's something ringing under the water right now in the bogs to the east, just waiting to be dug up.

Maia Yalestrom

Maia Yalestrom

• You'll need tools!
  • I've heard all sorts of artisans are needing help lately. So look, you're gonna need the right tools for the job! Need a Smithing Hammer? Bam! I got Simple Hammer! A Carpentry Tool? Bam! Got a Simple Saw! Next? A Crafting Tool? Oh ho ho, we got a Simple Wrench for that! Huh? Oh, a Gold Pan? Shoot, well guess I can't help you there ... gotcha! Simple Gold Pan right here! You get the idea!

Mikka Maier

Mikka Maier

• Careful of the swamp!
  • Heard that people sometimes go Venture Into The Woods from here and find themselves in the middle of the swamp, I'd advise caution if you find yourself tempted to do so - gotta be plenty dark in there to need an extra Light Source. I'd be too afraid to fall into some random bog I couldn't see - I would need Advanced Diving Gear Set! Haha!

Oldin Skogsan

Oldin Skogsan

• Anything in the woods?
  • I live away from the town in the middle of the woods and you are asking me if I hear anything? You bet I do, these trees don't shut up and their roots go deep! Rip them all down! Bet you could do it easier with some Tree Scaling Claws after some Firewood Making! Get to it!
• Haunted sawmill?
  • I hear the occasional murmur that in Barbantok there's this Sawmill of Barbantok and that it's haunted! It seems to be extra efficient though, so maybe it's a friendly spirit? Cut those logs up!

Peter Banksworth

Peter Banksworth

• Scattered socks.
  • A dreadful wind came through the city the other day amidst a big transaction of ... Socks. Scattered them everywhere! I know, sounds ridiculous, but now people are finding them in all sorts of litter piles around the area. Probably reek of shrimp too amid a potentially discarded Simple Torch.

Quincie Cartier

Quincie Cartier

• So flowy!
  • I love a good breeze! I've seen some of the traceurs around here in some Flowy Trousers. I'd love to get my hands on a pair, but I'm no good at House Jumping. Must feel so freeing!

Runa Norrberga

Runa Norrberga

• Skis to get around.
  • I hear from the enthusiasts here that there are a lot of shortcuts to get around Jarvonia that'll require some Skis. If you don't find any in the Disenchanted Forest you could go check Frusenholm to the east, heard they got a shop that sells some along with uncommon and rare ones!
• Looking for a basic workshop?
  • Always hear people looking to get into Crafting going off to Frusenholm to the east for their basic workshop. Might be worth checking out if you like clobbering together your own tools to be better than what the shops typically got. There's no bank there though, so you'd have to be prepared for the journey.
• Big group headed to Frostbite Mountain.
  • You missed a big scraggly group that had come in that were quite something, all going up to Frostbite Mountain. The miners took all the last copies of the Jarvonian Crossword Puzzle, while the berry foragers had some odd Feather Cape on. I think the serious climbers also had a shiny Iron Thermos among them.
• Aww Geez.
  • There's this odd letter 'g' I keep hearing people talk about. Apparently, something good will happen if you find it and give it a touch. Odd superstition to bank on.

GDTE Rumors

Borus Caskelair

Borus Caskelair

• Horus has great peppy stories!
  • My good brother Horus! He's over at the Gold'n Grail in Everhaven! You gotta pay him a visit! There's a nice girl over that area too at the Breeze Mart, she loves hearing Horus tell a good story. She sells some cool stuff too. I've seen a Simple Magnet and Simple Bug Catching Net. Bet you could use them for some fun activities!
• Morus tells great spooky stories!
  • Good brother Morus! He's over there trying his best at the Gold'n Grail in Bilgemont Port, even though he says he hates it! He'll do anything to help and has a keen eye! He even helped be an Antique Market Assessor over here for a bit, even found a Meteorite Fragment in the collection! Though I heard there might be a few more hiding out there.
• Ship it!
  • There's some good views down by the docks! The ships over here always need Hull Repair, feels like the area always has a Sailor's Hat somewhere. Sure is a lot of interesting language used around there.

Ernie Lamperen

Ernie Lamperen

• Super soup volunteer.
  • The Eberhart Mansion Kitchen always needs local Soup Kitchen Volunteering help. I heard people that stand out helping even get a Soup Kitchen Badge to give them access to their prestigious kitchen for their own personal benefit! Though it still means dealing with all the other people using it at the same time I guess.

Horus Caskelair

Horus Caskelair

• Morus in Bilgemont Port!
  • My brother Morus? He's over at the GG in Bilgemont Port! He's a bit sullen sometimes, but I know how to crack a smile out of him! Just gotta bring over my Golden Skydisc that I had sent to me from Frusenholm to play with him at the nearby GDTE Skydisc Course!
• Borus in Blackspell Port!
  • My brother Borus! He's at the GG in Blackspell Port! They have the Erdwiss Trinketry Factory there! Gotta make sure to bring your wallet with you! Was so funny to see Borus forget his one time and had to go grab it before they'd let him in! Hahaha!

Morus Caskelair

Morus Caskelair

• Please don't go find Horus.
  • My brother Horus? Oh no, please don't go looking for him at the Gold'n Grail in Everhaven. You'll just hear so many things about us that no one needs to hear. Are you sure you wouldn't prefer going there for the Everhaven Combined Job Board instead? Or just not at all actually? Too much risk of being blown over a ledge there with the strong winds and lack of city walls!
• Beware if you journey to Borus.
  • My brother Borus? Gosh, he is just so confident and brave to run the Gold'n Grail at the Blackspell Port location. Hear plenty of stories about people going missing to giant snakes in those parts near the swamp. If you ever Venture Into The Hideout by accident there and don't know how to get out, you should Run For Your Life. Probably end up at those spooky ruins nearby, but better than snake food!

Seth Kader

Seth Kader

• A hidden cave.
  • I heard that some people are finding their way into the bogs after following some bats. Apparently, this leads them to a secret cave of some sort over there. Probably finds them a different way into the swamp altogether too.

Syrenthia Rumors

Finn Oceancrusher

Finn Oceancrusher

• Expert diving gear?
  • Hmm, I guess you proved yourself friendly enough to trust. Heard that some took Hardened Kelp a step further with Volcanic Rock to turn into Hydrilium. Should make an excellent material for an Expert Diving Gear Set, provided you are skilled enough at Underwater Swimming.
• Underwater swimming.
  • Aren't you doing that a bit already? Haha! Well, you can sharpen your skills Underwater Swimming and practice at Elara's Lagoon. Might get lucky and find yourself an old pair of Flippers in the currents.
• Into the trenches!
  • Be careful if you ever venture into Darktide Trench. You might not find much if you go Fossil Mining there. I heard there's a few types of fossils hiding there, but they're brittle. The most I heard someone getting out of there was a Seahorse Fossil, so I can only imagine how difficult any others left there must be to get.
• Predator or prey?
  • Predator Hunting (Spear) is no joke in Darktide Trench, as most of the creatures aren't too friendly there. You'll need a Light Source and Expert Diving Gear Set at least to go with your Fishing Spear. Maybe if you fend off enough of them, you'll scare them into an Anglerfish Mask and turn the tides.

Glob-glob

Glob-glob

• See anything shiny?
  • This is a bank, I see shiny things all the time! Although ... there are tales amongst the crabs of some Very Shiny Stone at the Underwater Cave. Probably would have to Mine Volcanic Rock out of the way for a chance at where they are looking.

Juniper Skywatcher

Juniper Skywatcher

• Got your eye on anything?
  • I heard you can still find the lost Eye Patch of old crewmates over at Casbrant's Grave in the areas best for Sea Fishing (Spear). Don't think they'd be needing them anymore if you find any.
• Seen the remains of a ship?
  • Ever seen the occasional old Pirate Hat where the ship remains drifted over at Casbrant's Grave? Probably can find a few if you go Wreck Diving around there.

Lil' Merfolk Flyriel

Lil' Merfolk Flyriel

• Ever heard of a dinglehopper?
  • You should go try Wreck Diving! We went out there and found a Dinglehopper, maybe there's some more left for you to grab one!
• Darker caves.
  • Having a hard time in the dark of places like the Underwater Cave? If you can make do for a while, heard you could find some kind of left behind Glowstick while Cave Diving. Maybe you'd even get lucky and find the fabled Ancient Trident rumoured to have been lost by the sea kings of old.
• A cave map.
  • An Underwater Map for the Underwater Cave? I heard that the Undercurrent sells such a thing, so you'll need to be chummy with us Syrenthians. Guessing you'd want it to help Explore Underwater Cave then? Sounds like that'll be quite a dark journey into the unknown.

Mareel Finspur

Mareel Finspur

• Favor of the Syrenthians.
  • Perhaps you can impress them with some Merfolk Dancing. Maybe you'll even impress enough to earn a Merfolk Dress or get a Letter From A. A. Haha!
• Coral cuttings.
  • Yeah some of us harvest the coral from Coral Cutting over at Kelp Forest to cut into Coral Plank. Seen that they can be made into some decent tools when combined with other hardened materials, especially at the amazing Tidal Workshop here.

Syrene Graceful

Syrene Graceful

• Advanced diving gear?
  • You're interesting, asking that of someone who can breathe underwater. I think I've heard tales though of some that went Kelp Foraging from the nearby Kelp Forest and cooked it into some Hardened Kelp to make Advanced Diving Gear Set. Might be a good place to start?
