Are you using google chrome? That could be a related problem I've had. I think I got it cleared up for now. If it happens you can confirm it's the same bug by clicking Restore DOwn right next to close in the top right. It'll re-draw the page. I've had a bug report up on google chrome support for a while now. No one has come up with a fix for me just yet. They tell me that it's fixed in the latest developer release so it'll fix itself when that version of Chrome comes out of beta. For now, I think I've got it patched up properly. Let me know.

I am using Google Chrome.  Just checked the Guide, a few moments ago, and it is working fine again.  Thanks.

It is getting pretty cool to hunt those things down. They really did provide some incentive to unlock all the Ambitions too..Ambition rewards are pretty nice. It'll be challenging to hunt them all down. I guess I'll start recording them now and start my account over to get what I've missed.

Two more buffs for recipes cooked in the oven:

Boar Pie - Delicious Dessert - 60 focus points
Broiled Venison - Delicious Dessert - 60 focus points

Hmm, the medieval definition of 'dessert' and mine seem to differ...


Additional Daily Responsibilities:

Bard - Write 2 Poems
Peteran Priest - Pray With 2 Peterans
Wizard - Research For 2 Hours

The Physician's Daily Responsibilites aren't yet complete or shown in bold and dark red, like the other Heroes.


Apologies if I've repeated myself and if I'm being pedantic.

No worries, Gheez. For a minute there I had so many corrections flying in I might have missed something. Maybe 2 things. I want it to be complete information, so it wouldn't bother me if it popped up again.

Thanks. I got them all and picked up the PM about the Physician. I think I've finally got them all, but don't hesitate to correct me if I'm wrong ;)

Well, level 10 blacksmith here - the quality of a forged item depends on (a) level of the smith and (b) hammer used. Depending on item I have an error margin of 4 errors before my items will drop from legendary to the next lower level. So speed and quality and error margin is dependent on the type and quality of hammer. A legendary Angelshammer is really nice.

The heat of the iron counts as error when it hits the red or blue bar. The blue bar can be a pest if you need three or more forging cycles and the apprentice is interfering and forces you to restock coal, as it may cool the iron too much and you have your first error.
yeah that apprentice really gets annoying! I eventually just made two crafting stations, one upstairs and one downstairs. Though she still ocassionally decides that the one I'm on would suit her better and switchs but for the most part she stays on one.

  • The Fisherman's Challenge - Requires 'Whale Ate My Parents' trait.

I can confirm that this quest doesn't require that trait. My Monarch (who did the quest) didn't have Whale Ate My Parents trait, yet she was able to complete the quest and successfully gain a Legendary Trait.

This is one of those instances where a bug gets in the way of guide writing. Metro did that one (the whale hunt way) and did not get his Legendary Trait. It's strange. I also read it on the official forum, which led to that conclusion. I'll fix that up. I've taken a little break from writing for that guide, but will be back in full swing after that new patch comes out.

Weird. My wizard didn't get to choose a legendary trait with Fountain of Legend quest, but my monarch did Fisherman's Challenge with no problem, gaining the Natural Leader LT afterwards.

I've just been reading the tips for various Ambitions in the Guide, and have one I think is helpful.  For the Wealthy Populace Ambition, the thing that helped me the most was to do 2-person quests whenever possible.  That way, you'll have two characters getting the benefits from the quest and they can also share items between them.  This strategy allowed me to get all the heroes up to the required $7500 and still have 20 quest points remaining, and in spite of having to sacrifice several QP when one of the quests wouldn't recognize a completed step.
