Floating Bottle!
From Damien Sarin of FF: "Found a bottle floating in the water at 74.7S, 9.9E.
When you use it a soggy note comes out.

The bottle bobs up and down gently along the shore. You wonder about it's origin...
You notice there is a rolled piece of parchment jammed tightly into the neck of the bottle.
You pull out the parchment -- oh, it's all wet!

Note: A Soggy Note

New Rumor
An'iya of HG purchased this rumor in Kryst! Jason' of HG gave the note to Fanzen San and received a response!

You give Fanzen San the Translator The Moars.
Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "Ah! I see you have found my note. I asked the barkeeps on the Vesayen Islands to distribute it for me. And since you are here, giving this to me, it appears they did what I had asked."
Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "With all that has been happening of late I can't help but be intrigued by all of this Falatacot nonsense. So far we've seen a good deal about the under handed side of their people. But we know there is a lighter side to them. A less cruel side."
Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "We also know that the Moarsmen, the swamp dwelling creatures that were discovered when portals to the Vesayen Islands first opened, have some sort of connection to them. The Adjanites frequently kept them, though we are not exactly certain why."
Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "I would enjoy the opportunity to learn more about them, but I honestly have very little time outside of my translator duties to devote to researching the moarsmen."
Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "I know! Since you are here, would you mind going back to the Vesayen Islands and look for information for me? I can't leave this building, but I can read as much as I want!"

Labyrinthine Necklace!
Hello Maggie, I found a new dungeon on the jungle island.

(73.1S,81.3E) Mud Cave

There is no level restriction on it, and there are lots of moarsman inside. I went inside and found this necklace, Looks like a quest item to me, I have not gone to the bottom yet :)

Legio from Verdantine

Update: "I got to the bottom of that mud cave, there was not dungeon left after that necklace. I found a summon poral gem, summoned and I entered a different dungeon with some tomes at the end. I could only reach one. The Sho translator translated it, and gave me 50k xp reward. The pickup timer on the portal gem is 3 days."

Thanks also to Magicpipe II of TD!

Emerald Clasp!
Thanks to Legio of VT! Found in the Moarsmen Muck (77S 90.9E).
Timer: 3 Days
 

Aquamarine Prisms & Jade Dais!
Legio from VT reports again: "Hi Maggie! I kept going with the mosswarts. I found 2 other dungeons. (68,4S,94,4E) Moars Laboratory
This dungeon existed before but it's updated. I found Aquamire Prisms At the botom of it.

In Moarsmen Spawning Grounds (69.6S,96.5E) I found a Jade Dais. Still no clue what all the items are for.... This last dungeon had some creatures which I had never seen. They could be new but I'm not certain: Elite Revenant, Demilich, Muck Glutton, and some other weird looking Moarsman but I was too busy killing it, didn't get a screenshot."

Update from Jason' of HG: "Hey maggie, when you take the Jade dais to the translator he will tell you to take it to Hiro. When I took it to Hiro I received a seal to use on the dais, when I did I got the Adjanite Crown."
Thanks also to Thryn the Mage of MT, Damien Sarin of FF, Phoenix Warrior of TD!

From Silvana Nightsong of HG: "Heya Maggie! Just thought you might like to know, when you give Fazen San the Translator in Heb the Aquamarine Prisms from the Moars Laboratory, he gives you an Onyx Cutting Tool. When you use the Onyx Cutting Tool on the Aquamarine Prisms, you get 5 Adjanite Mana Stones that cast Ghostly Chorus that boosts your mana renewal 200% for 1 hour."

Amethyst Cradle!
From vlaid' of TD: "Ok, I went to the Moarsman Hideout located on ves isles at 69.9S, 89.9E. I continued down, encountered new moarsmen called Vicious, Muculent, and Disgusting Moarsmen.

I eventually came to a place where there was 2 doors on each side of room and a lever. I hit lever, and it opened door on the right side. If you continue, it seems like you hit a dead end but actually on the far wall from the way you came, there is grating on the floor and a small slot you can jump against the wall and fall down into.

[Eternal Frost of SC says if you can't make the jump, go left instead. He states: "I jumped down finally into a marshy room, found a tunnel to the NE and stayed to the right while moving forward and walked right up to the cradle in a room with a floating candle."]

Later on, you will come to what seems like a dead end with a surface portal, past a door in a big room. In the big room, on the right side, there are areas near to a candle where you can jump up to. I jumped up here and continued through the dungeon.

I eventually reached a room and saw an Amethyst Cradle sitting on a pedestal. I picked it up and another immediately respawned. I tried another and it said I could get another in 3 days.

I left the dungeon and tried to hand the item to the translator in Hebian-To.

I proceeded to crush the cradle with a mortar and pestle.

You crush the Amethyst Cradle into a fine powder.

The item I now have is Powered Adjanite Amethyst with can be used on another item. I tried just applying it to a crappy piece of jewelry, but didn't work, so I'm stuck here."

Combined Items
Thanks to Reska for the Eye of the Depths! Thanks also to Wolfe Thunderblade of HG!

Hi Maggie, Found a use for the emerald clasp. Simply used a well oiled string on it and got this fashionable cameo. I then sprinkled the powdered amethyst on the cameo and imbued it with greater power. It isn't much, but hey...it's patch material. :)

New Dungeon - Tainted Grotto
Thanks to Damien Sarin of FF!

East of Yanshi at 17.8S, 50.6E
Creatures: Burun Seer, Louts, Soothsayers, Fiends.

Very large maze dungeon. 2 SIK or SSK chests upstairs one way at the bottom.

Singularity Weapons Update!
A report from Virindi Inquisitor of TD: "Hi! The new dungeon seen in the teaser pic is called "Black Dominion", level 25+. It's located at 88.6S 25.9W near the drop from Mayoi to south dires. The top of the dungeon has altered drudges and as you continue down you meet Virindi Observers and Terberous Hollow Minions in good quantity. At the bottom there is a room filled with blue crystals, a few SIK chests and a blue Virindi NPC ("Virindi Castaway", level 11) that asks you to hand him a Singularity weapon for an upgrade. From what I can tell you need lockpick to get to the bottom, there is a 40 resistance locked door. The SIK chests don't seem to hold anything significant."

You give Virindi Castaway Singularity Atlatl.
Virindi Castaway gives you Bound Singularity Atlatl.
Virindi Castaway tells you, "Click and clash. Snip and slash. Yesss. Aim for the heart, he said. I will do as he would want, and he will visit me. He will. Please."

Update by Braxtynn of VT: "Hi Maggie -- I love your site.........please keep up the good work. I ran off to my favorite little Dungeon near Zaihkal (?sp) and found the Mossy Chamber had changed dramatically. Not only has the moss grown and plants sprouted all over the place, the Mosswarts have called in their tougher cousins. The Mossy Idolators and Fanatics are gone and have been replaced by Mosswart Mire-Witches lvl 70, Mosswart Muck Stalkers lvl 79, and Mosswart Clingers..........and LOTS of them. I am young (lvl 37 mage) and couldn't clear the first room no matter what I did. I didn't get down to the level where you grab the shroud but with the shear numbers of the higher level Mosswarts in there I would wager it is tougher down there too.

I hope this helps anyone that may want to grab a shroud, because it isn't like it used to be. :) Dereth is getting tougher Mosswarts."

Harper Kesh of WE sends this report: "Hi Maggie love the site ) Well before the hotfix, we managed to run through the Singularity quest and get one of the new Scepters "War" or "Life". We grabbed our blue ones and headed for Martinate Holding for the upgrade...we made it to the end, but found that they took out the hollows and lower lvl tuskers , all we found were Martinate Virindi Inquisitors and Plated tuskers. When we made it to the Assistant, he wouldn't accept our Blue scepter, but he upgraded my Dagger ) which I can no longer wield.....

New NPC in Candeth Keep!
Thanks to Mystykall of LC

Finn Skigg tells you, "Good day! I see that you're an adventurous sort. So am I, my dear friend! I must admit that I have been in better spirits than I am at the moment, but the sight of another adventurer has caused a smile to spread across my face."
Finn Skigg tells you, "You see, I have just finished a jaunt across and all around Dereth. I managed to make the walk in about eighty days. I've only recently settled here in the pleasantly arid air of Candeth Keep. I had a particularly nasty run-in with some foul undead near the southern entrance of the Valley of Death."
Finn Skigg tells you, "While making my way into a valley, I was accosted by these foul looking undead beasts. They gave me such a fright that I lost a collection of rare plates I'd received from Baron Eli von Schreft back on Ispar. They're priceless, and I would certainly be pleased if someone were to bring them back to me. If you find them please bring them here."

Vryce Calimbre of LC reports: "I followed Finn Skigg's instructions, and he appears to be not all that grateful afterall. I brought him his set of lost plates, and he gave me.....nothing. :) Anyway, the text appears below."

You give Finn Skigg A Carved Plate.
Finn Skigg tells you, Oh, thank you! You're most kind.

Quest Details: Fetish of the Dark Idols

A report from Gandalf Zu'l Zoran of SC: "Hiya Maggie, I followed up on a town crier rumor nd headed to the Dires Great Lighthouse at 25.8S, 46.9W there you will find Hermit. When you approach Hermit you get the following:"
 

The hermit's eyes grow wide as he begins to speak.
Lighthouse Hermit tells you, "Ah, I do remember now. I didn't think it would take this long, but no matter - you are here. If you will but listen to my story, I will reveal a great secret to you."
Lighthouse Hermit tells you, "I once was the greatest and most feared arbalister in all of Dereth. I once had everything a man could want from this life, and I have enjoyed all that I have experienced over the long years."
Lighthouse Hermit tells you, "But decades of adventure and excitement have caught up finally, I'm afraid. I find myself unable to see the bull's-eye any longer, thanks to the slow dimming of my sight. And more often than not I find the string to be too powerful for these feeble hands to draw or load."
Lighthouse Hermit tells you, "However, a ghost of the past still stirs in this old body. And before death's final arrow tears through the dark night in search of this weary target, I must see to it that my secret becomes known -- it is with you I entrust this knowledge."

New Quest - Grave Robber Title!
Ruhain of FF reports: "My friend found a portal gem (I didn't see it so I don't know name) on an undead around phantasm level. We went into the dungeon and it was filled with mu-miyahs and undead, up to phantasms. There were several levers to get thru the dungeon. Once getting past a door on top there was a undead called Ward of Rebirth that dropped severrl skulls that you hand in to the bestowment guild to get the title of Grave Robber. In the bottom of the dungeon was a large room filled with phantasms and dessicated mu-muyias, a runed chest with no lock and a map of Dereth that can be pickled up. Timer on chest is 7 days.
