The Merchant Guide:

The Prima Guide states you can generate XP by having the Merchant “Balance the Books” at the Scribe Table inside the building. What building? The Market? Hmmm...someone wins a prize if they can point out to me where that Scribe Table at the Market is

It isn't there initially, you have to buy it.

I just put up a guide to Foreign Nations and Passing Edicts/Maintaining relationships Have a look and let me know if there's something I should add. I think I explained it well enough.

[Joria]

I just played the Legendary Fountain quest four times in a row to the completion of it just to see if the rewards were random or not.  I used the same character each time.  They are indeed, random.  The only reward that showed up more than once was seductive.

[Carl]

Thanks, Joria. That means I can make a save near the end of a quest. Then, complete it over and over and get the icons and descriptions of the Legendary Traits

After what feels to be several hundred visits into the forest, I've managed to determine that there is 12 possible events available between the four actions.

Heres a table of what options I've found and what actions lead to them:

	Stroll	Adventure	Patrol	Hunt
Finding a Bear	*	*	*	*
A meadow of Belladona	*	*	*	*
Buying Books	*	*	*	*
Rescuing Children	*	*	*	*
Catching a Chinchilla	*	*	*	*
Spying on Elves	*	*	*	*
Finding a injured Merchant	*	*	*	*
Helping a Pixie	*	*	*	*
The Sping of youth	*	*	*	*
Spotting a Unicorn	*
Stepping in a hole				*
Rustling in the bush				*

Supposedly there is an encounter with a man guarding a bridge that ends in you getting an Arcane Edge, but I have never managed to find this encounter. In my experiements I used a Knight, Spy, Monarch and Merchant with the Adventurous trait, but I'm wondering if there is profession specific encounters.

Also, I've started uploading screenshots of the encounters and possible outcomes, they can be found here:

If you're interested in something like that for the rest of the encounters, let me know and I'll upload them.

I can finally confirm the arcane edge, from the man(Edit: the man may actually be grim reaper, as he draws a scythe to fight) guarding the bridge and choosing the option to fight him. It was my 29th stroll in the forest in a row on my level 1 sorceress.
Guess who's happy now

[Kai Heilos]

32 Strolls each with my Blacksmith, Physician, Bard and Wizard. No new encounters just yet, will keep trying with my Wizard and also the two priests until I at least get an arcane edge. =(


out of curiosity, has anyone ever caught the Pixie?

Also, can you get the Buy a Book encounter more than twice?

Edit: 40 Strolls, no edge. I wonder if there's a requirement of some sort, like maybe a high enough aspect?

[Lestrade]

Spotting a Unicorn can also come up on Adventure and Patrol, never did a stroll and had that one come up a couple of times.

One BASIC thing I completely missed 

The different quests have symbols or icons next to them. Example a shield means security - so the more shields you have the better the security is in your kingdom.

I was having a Big Problem with muggers and couldn't figure out why - I then learned to click on the ">" (not exact representative icon) located in the upper left corner of screen then lower left of picture and you get where your kingdom stands or what it needs to improve etc.

As I said - Very Basic info - but something I missed that changed my game completely!!

Don't know if you want other little tid-bits like this or not? But thought I would add it here for other players that may not know about it.

Awesome Guide Carl!! You are a Jewell To do this for the community!

Yea, Kai, I have caught a pixie and dire chinchilla several times. Success rate appears to be 40% on very focused. Maybe even 30%, needs more data.
Edit: And here's also a finished product from the arcane edge I acquired earlier, the legendary Doomstaff.

[Alaskasim]

I am wondering the point of trying to get such rare items. Not being able to bring them over to new maps is very disappointing.

It does look cool though.

This table is a very helpful checklist for something I'd planned anyway. I'd like to get what all of them do. I know there are different outcomes, but there's always a success for doing the right thing I suppose.  With this checklist, I can start the page about Random Encounters and it can be filled out from there. I suppose after this it's just the sea and walking to the Village Shoppe? If you really want to, get those for me and I'll use all the data to put the page up. I can then get brief descriptions of each event and the choices that are presented. This will be a sure fire way to hunt down all of the mystic metal fragments and any other goodies lurking out there.

We can help people to direct their efforts toward one of the various methods of entering these rabbit holes, so they have more opportunities for the kind of things they need.

Thanks for pointing out that the pixie and unicorn can be caught, Twinspirit. I'd failed every time.

I can propably supply the stats, descriptions along with pictures and positive/negative buffs of all the legendary armors and weapons.
If one desires of course.

Let me get back to you about that in the coming week. I will be going back to my blacksmith to get all the icons of every piece of gear he can craft. I'll let ya know what I'm missing. With this and the random encounters page, we can take a lot of the guesswork out of forging these pieces

There may be watcher achievements for obtaining rare items, aside from the satisfaction of getting epic lootz.
