Viamontian Town Criers

Town Crier tells you, "I've heard rumors that people have found something new of Lilitha's."

Town Crier tells you, "Rumor has it that Harlune has picked up and left the Mite Maze, though he still maintains a residence there. It might be worth finding out what's going on down there."

Ulgrim Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh ho, so people are seeking out Rytheran for what he knows about the book, are they? They should have come to me. I already know all about that book. Read it years ago. Here's a hint: everyone dies in the end."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You know, Lilitha just came through here, looking for her bow. Heh, okay, I'm pulling your leg. Lilitha hasn't been here in ages. Not since I stole her bow after that one night of drunken carousing. She was a fine warrior, but she couldn't hold her liquor."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "The Falatacot asked the Empyreans for help. Seriously, what were they thinking..."
 Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Exactly! They weren't!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I heard the Nutty Prophesier has been spouting a bunch of crazy warnings about something evil coming and eating us all."
 Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Normally, I would take Jester warnings with a heaping mug full of mad cow milk."
 Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That was before I started having the nightmares again. I can't remember them, but... they werent good."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Have you heard about those changes in the Green Mire Grave? I remember my first adventures in there, when I was new to Dereth... I used to stand on the other side of locked doors and make people tell me knock-knock jokes to open the door for them..."
 Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That all ended when Oswald came through. He wouldn't tell me a joke, so I told him to pick the lock by himself. I do believe he shivved me in the kidney, right through the door lock!"


You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Stout.
 Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Doesn't it feel like something's in the air? There's a certain smell, a smell of things changing, alignments shifting. Like a new island could arise out of the sea, or some chunk of land could fall off of Dereth... It smells like impending catastrophe."
 Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, wait, that's just my socks."

You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Stout.
 Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You know, I really admire that Harlune fellow. I mean, he taught Celcynd everything he knows, right? And Celcynd spends all of his time in a bar drinking! Clearly, Harlune is wise."

You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Stout.
 Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ah, summer. My favorite time of year, when the tourists flock to Ayan Baqur for the cool ocean breezes and the periodic invasions of hordes of hostile creatures. I like to barbecue in the summer. But the last time I did, Aerbax came and stole all the stout. I'll never forgive him for that."

You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Stout.
 Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "All right, I'll try again. Here, take this to the Jester. It's my finest home brew."
 Ulgrim the Unpleasant gives you Ulgrim's Home Brew.
 Ulgrim crosses his arms and smiles proudly.
 Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Once he tries that he won't be able to get enough of the stuff and I can finally make peace with the nutter. Maybe even have him over for a few drinks. I never said he wasn't interesting, just a Sira-loonie."

If you take Ulgrim's Home Brew to the Jester as he suggests, the Jester will portal you back to Ulgrim the Unpleasant in Ayan Baqur (dropping you from several hundred feet up in the air).

You give Jester Ulgrim's Home Brew.
Jester tells you, "For me? Thanks!"
The Jester dumps the stout out on the ground and puts the mug on his head.
Jester tells you, "How do I look? Stylish eh?"
Jester tells you, "I like this Ulgrim fellow. Go thank him for the wonderful hat for me."
Jester tells you, "I'll have to invite him for a game of cards some day soon."

Known Issues

  • This isn't technically an issue, but in the release notes it indicated that in The Jester quest, he would now reward you with a "jester card" for killing the jester when repeating the quest. This was not referring to the Jester Card, rather that you will get a random card from amongst the jester cards (more commonly referred to as GY cards in game).
  • Even though you can apply Salvaged Ivory to the Visage of Menilesh, if you drop it or mule it, the pick-up timer of 13 days is still in place and will prevent you from picking it back up.
  • "Master's Lectern cast Enervation of the Heart on you, but it is surpassed by Avalenne's Blessing" - the debuff is surpassed by a buff.
  • When attempting to give the Jester the Jester's Marker from the Jester's Lost Marbles quest he doesn't know what to do with it.
  • On Friday 6/20 the quest Disturbance in the Ley Lines was disabled (Lord Rytheran is no longer available). It will remain disabled until a TBA hotfix that will address flagging bugs with the quest. Link
  • Was there an earthquake in Yanshi? Or are the statues alive?

Typos

  • In the Falatacot Visitor's Alcove, when you enter the room with the Falatacot Warden Statue, you see this message: "The state [sic] looks as if it has been tampered with...its eyes are dull." -- should be "statue".

Hotfix

  • Tuesday June 24th from 9:00am - 12:00 pm EDT. This downtime will address the recent closing of the new quest involving Rytheran. The Visage of Menilesh timer was not fixed. Link
