    Very nice post, and very neatly done!

    Yesterday I was having a chat with the Duke and learn anything new, but this post made it so much easier! (Also just hung around to watch him move around 'cause it's so weird XD)

    Someone said you can get a chance to get one mil from Duke (don't recall what thread that was) but I'm wondering if that one is true. XD

    hmm,i saw the 'a faction "is planning to attack" a village' message earlier today, and went to see what was happening, and there were a bunch of enemies spawning outside the gate that arent normally there. Maybe thats what he was talking about?

    That's interesting. Maybe he's hinting at wraith attacks as opposed to twars. Although, if you get several of those faction attacking rumors in a row, I'm not sure if the Duke will shout that many times to trigger each attack. Something to look into...

    That would be sweet! Throw in a few coins and get 1MIL out of it. I think i did read that somewhere as well. Hasn't happened to me thus far. Will keep you posted.

    Well i got something about the tipsy rumor. If you crafted at the tipsy npc, with some more luck from whom duke said, you'll get 3* items. I've tested it. And resulted with my 3* weapon.
    Hope this help.b:victory

    Hey thanks for the info! Updated first post! After reading thru the hi-quality item thread, I think it was mentioned there as well, but I must have missed it.

    Yesterday the Duke said something along the lines of "Today earth will give strength to fire, so be careful with fire elements today."

    I thought it was weird since earth is fire's weakness. I had to clue what to do with that information.

    I heard him say "Any one who never felt my cane upon their head as a child certainly did not grow up in archosaur" several times today while hoping for some luck. I don't get if this is gibberish or has real meaning to it. I thought it might have to do with the elder of archosaur but that seems unlikely.

    Also - I've got a little tip you should take advantage of. If you go to Archosaur's west district right now and manufacture potions at Apothecary Teng's, you'll be in for a pleasant surprise.

    So I went down to the apo's to have a look-I made 5 flourish orbs however I saw nothing unsual. I thought it would ask for less ingredients or the sort but nothing, same amount of ingredients, same amount of products and the same effect-wtf?

    I also learned that when this shows up for the blacksith the effect is ONLY for the first weapon u produce and u can get a blue (name) 1 star weap with usually awesome extra base stats.

    "There's a bird, that has no feet, so it must keep flying. When it's tired, it sleeps on the wind. That kind of bird will only reach the ground once, when it's time to die."

    ..or something like that. I didn't see it on the list. I'm going to try and dig up the screenshot.

    Answer to your riddle: That bird is wind

    It has no feet..
    It is the wind that sleeps...
    And when the wind has fallen, it will reach the ground.

    Added. Also added a few more +5 & +6 refining locations. As far as the pleasant surprise/apothecary thing goes, I've also tried making pots at the apothecary that he says to with no luck. Not quite sure if that apothecary one does anything at all.

    I heard there was a party in Archosaur and blacksmith TANG got a little tipsy. Maybe you can get a good deal off him since he's in such a good mood.

    It says the NPC is drunk and wants to party with you. And umm... what happens to drunk NPCs? Trade with them and find out how drunk they are.

    The rumors are mostly BS.

    I've gone to blacksmith/craftsman/tailor after supposed suprises and my crafting rates don't seem any better.

    I've gone to "go to this npc" for refining, and the refining basics and it seems to be mostly luck.

    Nice way to make people jump through hoops though.

    "I heard that over in the south district of Archosaur, apothecary Liu just had a little spat with his wife. I'd steer clear of him until he cools down a bit."

    I got this today. Wonder what this means o.O

    Since this has been necro'd, I thought I should provide an interpetation for one of his rumors:
    Principle of Refining No.5: Close refining window every time you finish refining.

    This would prevent refine failures from using the wrong level of dragon orb.
